In light of @penn releasing their first statement in 11 days, I would like to provide a thread as to the level of danger students are subjected to.

Considering what is below, you'd think @penn would do something.

Here are just but a few of the documented cases 🧵

This is GOLD. 🤣😂

In honesty, this man (who happens to be black) while going through UCLA’s campus where he’s a student demonstrates immense restraint.

Question - if you are being blocked legally from going where you have a right to go and Cops & Administrators aren’t helping, can you use force?

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

Want to see how “peaceful” protests are @penn? Watch as the campers harass a student simply walking on his own campus.

Threats and flashing strobe lights were not included in the Penn Welcome Pamphlet.

The bravery of this student should be applauded.

Here’s another one from an another friend’s son @ucla. Protestors take over access to area near school library demanding wrist bands and approval to each student passing.

“So you won’t let me in because I’m Jewish?”
“Ummm no… we have a couple Jewish students here … are you a Zionist?”
“Yes of course I am”
“Well yeah, we’re not gonna let Zionists in.”

Parent @UCLA gave permission to release this audio of her phone call with @UCLAPD as they describe the school's directive to allow protestors to restrict the movement of Jewish students.

"Are the protestors allowed to block students who are paying tuition from classes? No, but unfortunately, they have taken over that area."
"We've received a directive not to intervene"
"So you're allowing the protestors to block the Jewish students?"
"I'm not allowing it... the school is. Yes, the school is saying that they will not be removed at this time."

Jewish UCLA student stands up to masked mob after they repeatedly blocked his entry to the campus over the last week because he is Jewish.

Proudly holding an Israeli flag he says:

“We all know the reason you have masks it’s because you don’t want us to identify you.”

At Northwestern: A faculty member physically assaulted me and tried hitting my phone out of my hand for calling out their desire to wipe out 7 million Jews in Israel.

Jewish college students are telling Congress today about the unrestrained #antisemitism sweeping their campuses. I was particularly moved by Bella Ingber, a junior at @nyuniversity. Shame on NYU and other schools for their stunning failure to protect Jewish students.

"I was in the tunnels for 17 days, I barely slept. I lacked food. In the last four days, I fell ill and the terrorists were afraid I would cause an epidemic there in the tunnels. Every day there is critical, also because of the living conditions there which are very difficult, and the oxygen in the tunnels is running out.”

struggling to understand how, in five short years, we went from "this reference to 'boofing' in Brett Kavanaugh's HS yearbook proves he is an unrepentant rapist" to "idk guys the half-naked corpse with grievous pelvic injuries could have been like that when Hamas got there"

[Tova Herskovitz @tovaherskovitz]

Take that NYU

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

There hasn't been a "rise in anti-Semitism" in this country.

All that is happening is that tens of thousands of already antisemitic people have been emboldened to fully express themselves over recent weeks.

Big difference.

@zooshka I love all your books. Big fan.
