Can you quote the part of this article where a leftist student group organises to assault a student because of their ethnicity?

I couldn't find that part.

  • I was struck by how many of the people whose ages are named in that article were in their late thirties through fifties. Both as alleged perpetrators of violence, and victims.

    • Yeah. Sometimes college students are older, but that article isn't really evidence that student groups are hitting the streets bashing people based on ethnicity.

  • I am sure you can read, but apart for the very numerous mentions of violent attacks against Jewish students, we have this quote:

    Kates, the head of Samidoun, and leaders of other hard-line pro-Hamas groups, say they don’t randomly attack Jewish people at demonstrations. Rather, they said, protests turn violent due to clashes with the police and run-ins with Jewish counterprotesters who carry Israeli flags and become targets.

    “If you were to carry other flags of countries and nations that have committed genocide, one might expect them to be taken away,” Kates told NBC News. “That’s really a very low-level of confrontation for actively going out and supporting the genocide of the Palestinian people.”

    That's a pretty straight up claim admission of violence during demonstrations by a student group. This group that was part of the "student's" demonstrations in the universities was later on designated by both USA and Canada as affiliated with the PFLP terror group [1][2]

    • I am asking for simple evidence of something that was claimed to be widespread, but so far no one has presented any.

      Can you link me to evidence that a leftist group attacked a student because of their ethnicity?
