Danielle Sobkin, one of the organizers who invited Israeli lawyer Ran Bar Yoshafat, said the mob grabbed a sophomore who tried to attend the event, called him a “dirty Jew” and spit on him. She said that protesters also shoved a senior into the auditorium door as she tried to check in attendees, and that they grabbed a freshman by her neck.
Okay, so this is what I got out of this article:
That seems to be factual, and there was no mention of violence. From the University itself:
So the University currently has no information or evidence of injuries, and hasn’t said anything about specific antisemitic incidents.
And, in closer reading of the article, all the allegations of antisemitism and violence are currently coming from one person -
I’m not saying that these incidents didn’t happen. I am saying that it’s a little odd that (so far as has made it to my corner of the internet) no one filmed the antisemitism or violence; that the University hasn’t mentioned anything about any of the incidents maybe being caught on security cameras or (if they wear them) police bodycams; and that, as one of the organizers who is presumably trying to gin up support for Israel, Danielle Sobkin may have a motive to exaggerate any incidents that may or may not have happened.
I’m also willing to change my initial opinion based on security video, bodycam footage, cellphone recordings, or additional corroborating accounts from additional witnesses or bystanders. However, for now, I’m treating this account of antisemitism and violence with scepticism.
There is a mention of the smashed window, but there are other articles that show it being smashed in a video. Like this one - Which has more details in general
Yeah, that video doesn’t show any violence either. You only hear broken glass. They don’t even show the window after it was broken.
