On January 24, Stanford University held a forum on combating anti-Semitism. The event, which featured Stanford president Richard Saller and provost Jenny Martinez, was meant to reassure Jewish students that the university had their back amid the wave of anti-Semitism sweeping college campuses.
"We really do want to make sure that all of the communities on campus get the respect that they deserve," Saller told the forum. "We’re committed to equal treatment and equal protection."
The events that transpired that night undercut that message. By the end of the evening, protesters had physically threatened Jewish students, harassed a rabbi, and told employees of the elite university that they would "find out where you live."
David Schuller, 24, a yarmulke-wearing graduate student in Stanford’s physics department, found himself surrounded by a mob of hecklers when he approached a protest outside the forum.
"The IDF killed your hostages," the mob chanted at Schuller, according to videos of the incident obtained by the
Washington Free Beacon, which show police standing by as the encounter unfolds. One protester can be seen taking the visibly Jewish student aside and whispering what Schuller described as a threat in his ear.
"He told me, ‘Watch it man, we’re watching you. You better know what you’re getting into,’" Schuller told the
Free Beacon. "I had to take a couple steps back and tell the cops he threatened physical violence."
Another confrontation took place on a nearby quad where, in a
video that has since gone viral, protesters told Jewish students to "go back to Brooklyn," called white people "terrorists," and promised to destroy Israel and America.
As administrators tried to keep order, some protesters began issuing threats.
"Stanford employees, we know your names and we know where you work," one protester said, according to a new video exclusively obtained by the
Free Beacon.
"And we will soon find out where you live," another chimed in.
