Friends, please listen up. I took this video on Thursday night November 12, 2015 at Hunter College, where I am a student.
A rally was held to end the tuition hikes in CUNY schools and this is what I witnessed.
As a Jewish student, I was harassed for wearing a yarmulke. People yelled at me "Go back to Poland!" and "terrorist" just for wearing a yarmulke.
People were waving Palestinian flags and denouncing Israel as a terrorist state. What was supposed to be an anti tuition hike rally actually turned out to be an "anti-Semitism" rally that called for CUNY to fire it's "Zionist Funding administration".
To put it into perspective, Hunter college is located on the Upper East Side - which is a predominantly Jewish neighborhood.
Rallies like this one take place everyday all over the world in places where Jews have never even been. The hate needs to stop.
This isn't a matter of religion against religion rather, a matter of hate. The only way to combat such hate is to educate and stand up for what is right. I ask all of my friends to please spread the peace, educate others and make sure that this hate stops.
Learn about Israel, educate others and protest peacefully- please share this video with friends and show them the hate we are up against.
I urge every student on every campus to speak up and not stand idly by. Israel is forever. עם ישראל חיי. Please share
Watch at 2:57 mark as it turns ugly!
