A Columbia University student recently expressed feeling physically unsafe on campus due to anti-Israel demonstrations. The student recounted an incident where he and other Jewish students visited a 'Gaza Solidarity Encampment' on campus to sing songs of peace. However, upon leaving, they were chased by a group described as a 'pro-Hamas mob' who hurled insults at them, including calling them inbred and cultureless. The mob even stole an Israeli flag from one of the students and attempted to set it on fire.
The student highlighted that despite seeking help from campus public safety, they received little assistance and were left feeling unprotected. This lack of support from the authorities left the students feeling vulnerable and exposed to potential harm.
