I've seen and shared many disturbing videos over the past six months, but I've never seen anything like this.

These were the sights today in New York City. Not in Rafah. Not in Kabul. In New York City.

This is domestic terrorism.

(a thread)
Protestors waving the yellow and green Hezbollah flag.

Hezbollah is an Iranian-backed foreign terrorist organization based in Lebanon.

And now in New York City.
A protestor wearing the Hamas green headband - the same one worn by Hamas terrorists during the October 7th Massacre.

Hamas is an Iranian-backed foreign terrorist organization based in Gaza and the West Bank.

And now in New York City.
Protestor calling "Death to America."

This is domestic terrorism.
An Jewish American student from @Columbia showed up to counterprotest.

They burnt his U.S. flag, lit his shirt on fire, and shouted "Death to America"

No arrests were made.
Protestor's response to the burning of the American flag:

"Burn it down again and again and again"
Protestor praising the burning of the American flag and saying that Bin Laden "did what he had to do"

This is domestic terrorism.
Within Our Lifetime is the organization behind these protests.

To learn more about them, see this thread:

If you take one thing away from this, then let this be it: Within Our Lifetime - the organization behind these protests - should be declared a Domestic Terrorist Organization.
It doesn't matter if you're Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, or an Atheist.

It doesn't matter if you're a liberal or a conservative.

It doesn't matter if you support Biden or Trump.

If you are an American, this should trouble you.

This is a threat to America.

Last night, I spent time with the Jewish students @Columbia.

They were willing to be recorded, as long as they are not identified.

Take a listen to all the recordings below.

This is not my story. This is their story.

Please amplify their voices and tell their stories.

Journalists, I can't speak to all of you, but if I could, this is what I would say:

Within Our Lifetime is the organization whose members beat to pulp a Jewish man in the streets of New York in 2021. Why? Because he was the first Jew they could find. (see below, in the thread)

Guess what Within Our Lifetime used to be called before they changed their name in 2018? Students for Justice in Palestine, NYC. (yes, it's the evidence is in the thread below)

The leader of Within Our Lifetime - Nardeen Kiswani - is a Jew hater who openly support Hamas and the annihilation of Israel. Last Saturday night, she got married. Do you know where? Inside the pro-Hamas illegal encampment at @Columbia. (see below, also in the thread)

Nardeen Kiswani does not have a Columbia ID, yet she is allowed to be on campus. Yet I, a Columbia *professor*, am barred entry because the university cannot guarantee my personal safety from the pro-Hamas mob.

Also, remember those videos of protestors burning the American flag, chanting "down with the U.S.A.", and saying that Bin Laden "did what had to be done"? Do you know who organizer those protests? Within Our Lifetime. (see below, also in the thread).

All the evidence is out there. It's clear as day. You just have to let the world know about this. These are not "peaceful protests" like Rashida Tlaib and the New York Times would have you believe. You have a responsibility for the truth, and it is laid right there for you. @CampusJewHate and I have been documenting this for six months. All you have to do is report it.

And by the way - stop calling these protests pro-Palestine. They are not pro-Palestine, they are pro-Hamas. They even say so themselves. And Hamas doesn't care about the Palestinian people. You know it and I know it.

But don't take it from me. Take it from people like @afalkhatib. Ahmed and I may not agree about everything, but I respect his courage, his humanity, his moral backbone for speak for the Palestinian people and against Hamas.

Palestinian people like Ahmed - who was born and raised in Gaza and lost many family members in this horrible, horrible war - speak for the Palestinian people. Not some radicalized White student from Wisconsin who has no skin in the game and who thinks that buying a keffiyeh on Amazon Prime makes them a liberator.

And if you take even one thing from people like Ahmed, let this be it: can be pro-Palestine AND anti-Hamas. By calling these protestors pro-Palestine, the media does a disservice to all the Palestinians who oppose Hamas and spreads a lie that supporting Palestine requires supporting violence and terrorism.

Start calling it as it is: pro-terror.

And journalists, one more thing:

Please stop treating this like the "Shai Davidai Show." This is not my story. This is OUR story. This is the story of all the Jewish and Israeli students, staff, and faculty at @Columbia and all other U.S. and Canadian universities. Start interviewing them. Ask them how *they* are feeling. Ask them what they've been seeing and hearing on campus. This is the story about how antisemitism and an ideology that glorifies terrorism snaked their way into academia and the illiberal left.

It's all there on my feed. Just scroll back to October 12th and start from there. I know it might take long to go over everything, but please do. Look at how the pro-Hamas professors and a few radical extremists on campus brainwashed latently antisemitic protestors into a terrorist idolizing mob.

(seriously: they have posters of suicide bombers in this illegal encampment on campus. There is nothing peaceful about that)

So, just read all the threads, watch all the videos, and listen to all the speeches. It's all there.

This is the story of what it's like being Jewish at @Columbia.

All you have to do is tell it.
About Within Our Lifetime:

They are domestic terrorist threat, and they operate right here, in New York City.

Nardeen Kiswani's wedding ceremony *inside* the illegal encampment. This is the leader of Within Our Lifetime.

(reminder: she doesn't have an ID and can be on campus. I am a professor, but can't. One of us is Jewish. The other one supports terror. you do the math.)

This what's happening at @Columbia right now.

I know it's confusing, so let me spell it out for you:

(a) Terrorism is an ideology.
(b) They are openly supporting terror.
(c) They are terrorists.

Terrorists have taken over Columbia University.
The government needs to take over @Columbia.

This is important. Repost if you agree.

(videos below)
This is the Chabbad Rabbi (!) and a group of Jewish students being scared off of @Columbia's campus.
Here's a screenshot of them being followed outside.

A suspended pro-Hamas student organization at @Columbia makes up a lie about me.

A prominent pro-Hamas organizer at @ColumbiaSSW with thousands of follower retweets the lie.

This is modern day Hitler Youth.

But this Jew will not be scared away.

(see below for the truth) Image
Here is a video of the event, taken by a brave Jewish student.

You can clearly see that:
1. I am facing away from the protest
2. I am calling out my colleague, Prof. Joseph "October 7 was awesome" Massad for participating in an unauthorized protest.
I would never speak to or over a student. That's just not my style.

But I will always keep calling out Hamas-supporting professors who are poisoning the minds of college students across the country.

Nothing to see here.

Just Prof. Joseph Massad (who, on October 8, published an Op-Ed praising the 10/7 Massacre) and a student organizer getting their marching orders during an unauthorized pro-Hamas protest at @Columbia.

Did I say "marching orders"? I meant, "intellectual frameworks of decolonization"Image
@Columbia Here's a video of the protest:

@Columbia Here's a recording of Columbia's Senior Vice President refusing the disperse the unauthorized protest:

Today, the heads of Samidoun – an organization that was banned from Germany for its ties with terrorism – held a recruitment event at @Columbia to get more students to join their calls for violence.

(a long, disturbing, yet important thread) Image
The recruiting event, hosted by a pro-terror student organization at @Columbia, had speakers from three extremely dangerous organizations:
- Within Our Lifetime (WOL)
- Masar Badil
- Samidoun
I’ve already written a lot about Within Our Lifetime.

One thing to remember about WOL: several of its members are currently in prison for gang-beating a random Jewish man in NYC.

This is who’s is recruiting students at @Columbia
