Stanford Jewish students feel 'unsafe,' Hillel director says
Pro-Hamas slogans displayed across campus this week and a classroom incident where Jews allegedly were targeted have left Stanford University’s Jewish students “feeling unsafe,” the head of Hillel said Thursday.
Students are wondering, “‘Can I trust the people who live in the room next to me because they put something up on the wall that negates my existence?’” Rabbi Jessica Kirschner, executive director of Stanford Hillel, told J.
The incidents, including pro-Hamas banners hung on the student union and clock tower and messages scrawled on Meyer Green where students earlier held a vigil for Israeli victims, have taken place since Hamas terrorists from Gaza invaded Israel on Saturday. They killed more than 1,200 Israelis, injured thousands and kidnapped at least 100.
Kirschner said the classroom incident took place in a freshman seminar. According to the university, the instructor has been removed from the classroom pending an investigation.
