Jewish students studying at Yale University faced a violent attack and harassment from pro-Hamas activists. Surveillance footage captured the group creating a barricade to prevent a Jewish student from entering a campus building. A female student, who was documenting the demonstration, was viciously assaulted and required hospitalization after being stabbed in the eye. The attackers also threw bottles at Jewish students, and at one point, the American flag was taken down while the Palestinian flag was raised on campus.
Drawing parallels to 1938 when Jews were barred from entering Vienna University by the Nazis, it is evident that history may be repeating itself. It is imperative that every individual involved in the blockade be expelled from Yale and prosecuted for committing federal hate crimes.
Watch:
Student protesters at Yale block a Jewish student from entering the campus, in scenes reminiscent of Nazi Germany.

Group of Yale students form a human chain to BLOCK a Jewish student from entering the University.
The chilling act of antisemitism echoes 1939, when Nazi’s blocked Jewish students from entering Vienna University- simply because they were Jews.
