I am lost for words, what kind of evidence will you deem sufficient?
Surely the two students attacked at the start of the article due to wearing yarmulkes in public by a man wearing a keffiyeh is not related to subscribing to a specific ideology
The keffiyeh bit reads as really suspect (not saying the student was lying—mistakes are common in these situations) given all the other details of that incident I can find in other sources covering this. That claim appears to be the only connection to the pro-Palestine movement of the attack by a 52 year old white townie whose mugshot reads "homeless"—all of which paints a very different picture.
Maybe, I actually believe that the many instances of obvious non college participants does not cast these protestors in a good light
In any case, another example, A US court ruled an organized attack by a leftist group on Jews by physically blocking them from entering the campus if they refused to declare they agree with the "leftist" group
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/judge-rules-jewish-stud...
I believe there's ample evidence that campus life in many american universities was hostile to many jews, and it is enough to watch Claudine Gay congressional hearing to understand they were reluctant to do anything about it
> Those who complied with the protesters’ view were issued wristbands to allow them to pass through, the complaint says, which effectively barred Jewish students who supported Israel
So, just to be clear, it was because they were pro-Israel, and not because they were Jewish.
If it was because they were Jewish, Jewish students that oppose Israeli occupation wouldn’t be allowed through.
Conflating the Jewish identity with support for Israel is a subtle ideological trick, one that Jewish antizionists consider to be antisemitic.

I know that Jewish people are attacked by antisemites. No one is questioning that Jews face race-based hatred, just like Muslims do. Especially after 9/11, Muslims face a lot of antimuslim sentiment here.
I am questioning the notion that leftist groups on universities are doing antimuslim or antijewish activities.
The article you linked writes this about the perpetrator of the attack you're referencing here: "The man, whom police later identified as Jarrett Buba, a 52-year-old white man from Pittsburgh"
That doesn't really sound like a leftist student protestor to me. I was told that leftist student protestors are attacking people based solely on their ethnicity, so I'd like some evidence of this.
I don't think you want evidence of this, I think you'd like to be combative, therefore I am disengaging
I was very clear about what I wanted to see evidence of at the beginning and my request has not changed since you started engaging:
>What organised group of leftists has attacked a group of people based on their ethnicity? Do you have a link you could share?
I am not being combative; I am requesting evidence of a claim that was made at me.
