I'd heard from sources I consider reputable that all allegations of physically blocking doorways were made up and the protestors remained outdoors and that furthermore, the Israeli students perceived the existence of the Palestinian flag in their line of sight, anywhere, ever, to constitute intimidation and discrimination regardless of the context. What are some good sources to reconcile your claims with these other claims and find out the truth?

  I appreciate the source and I'll get back to you with a detailed reply of my own once I've finished reading it and searching for corroborating details on the people who were there. Watch this space.

  I'm curious what you think your sources say? You originally claimed that this protest leader participated in the act of selectively denying access to campus facilities for Jewish people. That Politico article does not support your claim.

    I did not claim that he directly participated in that. If you simply google his name, in every article the word 'leader' is used to describe him in relation to the Columbia protests, protests which did include such acts.

      You still haven't cited any sources that support your claim.

        What claim?

        He was a leader of protests at Columbia which involved physically blocking Jewish students from entering classes and other forms of overt discrimination and intimidation directed at Jewish and Israeli students. This potential bullshit.

        Which specific thing are you questioning? That he was a leader of protests at Columbia? That the protests involved physically blocking Jewish students? That the protests involved intimidation directed at Jewish and Israeli students?
