Best wishes for your recovery and safety, Sahar. The masks indicate mentally ill cowardice. You may have an injured eye, but your assailants are blinded by hateful ideology.
The adults are letting the inmates run the asylum. These same students melted down over the words trap house and the defense of wearing what you want on Halloween. Where is President Salovey?
I am so far beyond fear or sadness at this point. I’m rip roaring pissed. These people need to be dressed down so ferociously by their mothers. And what of their mothers? This is the natural progression of a culture that allows our educational systems to drive a wedge between families. Filling children’s heads with nonsense and mania until they grow into adults that act like this.
If anyone thinks this is only going to affect the Jews…these will be our lawyers and judges, our professors and teachers (already there), our doctors and nurses and surgeons. The moral rot has grown so deep into the bones of our country. This is no longer a silly “university” issue. This is malicious, cancerous madness.
My anger at these incidents is absolutely incandescent. I am so sick of this nation that uses double standards for what constitutes free speech. If silence is violence as we were so loudly instructed a few years ago, then what is happening now is the opening act to a truly fearsome play. I am not Jewish but I am a Zionist and if I were younger, I’m almost 70, I’d pick up my gardening hoe and proudly stand by your side. I am a lifelong Democrat and liberal but the silence from my party nauseates me.
Thank you for your reporting and best wishes on your recovery. The student protestors who injure or harass Jewish students need to face academic consequences such as suspension or expulsion. The professors who condone this terrorist sympathizing behavior should be fired if not tenured, or at the very least, removed from teaching since they can’t meet the Title VI rights of their Jewish students. Increasingly, the Ivies pursued a radical, activist student body that thrives on critical theory and chaos. The inmates are literally running the asylum. These once elite institutions will become irrelevant if they don’t rehabilitate their pedagogy, curriculum and admissions practices. Diversity of perspective is just as important, and I would argue more important, than diversity of identity. And fire the administration immediately if they are not willing to call out the antisemitism or restore order. Then fire the Board…
In a saner country, arrests, expulsions, deportations, anti-racketeering laws, etc., would be brought to bear on these rotten, preening, ignorant cowards.
This is horrible. I am so sorry for what is happening to you and to Jews across the world right now. I feel compelled to add, however, that these protesters who want Yale to change its financial policies are mind-blowingly hypocritical. If they feel so strongly that Yale is handling its money immorally, they should drop out at the end of the semester. Why are they giving money to such a corrupt institution? They obviously don't actually feel that strongly about the policies. Seems more like an excuse to protest and hate on Jews.
I seem to remember a group of students surrounding a professor and just screaming at him because he wouldn’t condemn another professor’s ( his wife) opinion that certain Halloween costumes should not be banned. If I remember correctly her opinion was that Yale students weren’t children and didn’t need such guidelines. She was wrong. With a few exceptions yourself included, Yale students seem to BE children and feral at that.
Jew-hating scum! This filth should immediately be expelled, charged criminally and deported for life if they are foreign students. Create a public registry identifying these creatures, a registry that will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Universities are cesspits.
I’m so sorry and saddened (and enraged) that you have had to endure this, and also so impressed by your courage. If those with some authority would display but a fraction of such courage then these hypocritical, racist thugs would receive the justice they deserve. Someone must step up and hold these disgusting people accountable. As a Catholic I pray for Israel and all Jewish people who are experiencing such sickening hatred. Please know that you do not stand alone. God bless and peace be with you.
We all know that had the demonstrators had a Confederate flag or noose or burned a Quran or had a sign that said "men cannot become women and vice versa" there'd be prompt action, condemnation and likely expulsions.
One more to add to the assaulted list from 3 days ago. Yoseph Haddid, an Iaraeli-Arab and former IDF member was also assaulted, just outside the Columbia campus. He was scheduled to speak at Columbia later that day.
Knocked down from behind, then sucker punched. Here's the video.
My best wishes to each for full healing, including Sahar, the author of this article. And for the assailants, full accountability. For the universities, I can offer nothing but to recognize these are failed institutions.
But of course we all know that’anti-zionism’ isn’t antisemitism….
Not sure how these blinkered and self righteous bastards have so thoroughly taken over our institutions so overwhelmingly that the mainstream press continues to gaslight and refuse to report how widespread this hatred has become.
If this had been in California and you had lost your eye, under California law that could have constituted aggravated mayhem, for which the punishment is imprisonment for life. (Cal. Pen. Code, §§ 203, 205.)
Suspend federal dollars to the institutions. Tax payers should not be underwriting this dangerous anarchy.

Yale is trying to upstage Harvard for most insane campus. Perhaps someone can reimagine this cringey Yale admissions video: https://youtu.be/64ujJviaPzQ?si=ItJtbIWPPpOeOCuc

Right after freedom of speech comes the right to bear arms. Just a thought. Its suddenly dangerous for Jews in America.

There is a case here for kidnapping, if they detained you, and they seemingly did.
