Most of the complaints about campus hate in the wake of Oct 7 have come from Jewish college students, but not all of them.
Take this case out of Rutgers.
A Rutgers Law School student who mounted a counter-protest against anti-Israel demonstrators on campus was arrested by police after he refused to stop posting flyers that labeled Hamas as “savages.”
Yiorgos “George” Maravelias, a disabled veteran who previously served as a United States Army First Lieutenant and deployed to Afghanistan, first engaged in campus activism in November 2023. He told Fox News Digital that after October 7, a vocal minority of law school students erected tables and hung flyers that criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza.
“I set up a table right next to them with my beliefs, which is that Hamas are rapists, that they are monsters, savages. That October 7 was a terrorist attack. You know, basically, I believe that a lot of the statements that they apply towards Israel, I think they fully hold against America,” he said.
But this case out of Georgetown involving a Swedish student is truly stunning.
Henrik Schildt Lundberg, a student at Georgetown’s Walsh School of Foreign Service described students chanting “we will finish what Hitler started” and “every day is October 7th.”
“In an email I sent to the MSFS leadership team in November of last year, I informed them that European universities now call Georgetown students “Hitler Jugend.” I kindly ask you to let that sink in.”
In a report to the Sweden-American Foundation, Lundberg described some of the madness going on at Georgetown.
On the eighth of September 2022, Queen Elizabeth II died in Great Britain. On my program’s WhatsApp group chat, many expressed their condolences to the British students. I was one of them because I know she was (and is) an important British symbol. For this, I and several students were accused of racism because with our sadness we were perceived to be behind a colonial power that enslaved people in the former British colonies. Since accusations of racism can lead to suspension, many apologized. I didn’t because I emphatically claim that you can express grief to a person whose head of state has just passed away.
During a mandatory workshop on microaggressions, a teacher said that if you see a white student being assaulted by a minority student, don’t call the police because the police are racist. Instead, they thought they should film the course of events and support after the violence had stopped. When I asked if they wouldn’t even stop an ongoing rape of a student, I didn’t get an answer, but they continued with the presentation.
Questioning DEI led to outbursts of violence and hatred, as well as threats from the administration.
Students stopped hanging out with me. Students at the school accused me of ideological rape and spiritual genocide. I was left out on social media. When I left my computer and my backpack in the library or in a study room to go to the bathroom or buy a coffee, my computer and my belongings were thrown into trash cans. On two occasions I was hit in the head by black students who shouted fucking white guy at me. When I reported the crimes to the school and the school police said bluntly that they probably won’t catch the perpetrators and that there are no hate crimes against white people.
On countless occasions I asked the program management to take back their statement that I was racist and apologize but they refused. Because I worked hard to get into school and because I was determined to finish my studies, I continued to attend classes but I stopped being on school grounds or socializing with other students.
All of this got worse after Oct 7.
The third semester he barely started before Hamas’ terrorist act against Israel on October 7. On the school’s group chats, students began writing about how the Palestinians must use more violence to free themselves from Israeli oppression. Several students also began to call for violence against Jewish students. My grandparents hid and employed hundreds of Jews during WWII so the issue of Jewish right to life is close to my heart. I wrote in the group chats that you can have whatever opinion you want, but you must not call for violence or threaten students. I of course reported this to the school and program management, who said that since the threats were made on WhatsApp and not the school’s own forum, they could not do anything, even though they knew who the students were. For my call not to threaten Jews, I myself received death threats from students. I was told by teachers not to go to school and the school police gave me tips on where to run and hide in case I got shot at in the gym, in the classroom, in the library, etcetera…
Let this sink in. I am coming to the USA as a Swedish student. The school’s students threaten to kill Jewish students. I react and say no. For this I receive death threats and am forced to stay at home while the students who threaten can continue as usual.
October 7 marked the start of the second academic year’s nightmare. At the school, students shouted: “We will finish what Hitler started”, “Gas more Jews” and “The final solution”. Several Jewish students in my program dropped out. When I pointed out the problem and the anti-Semitic/neo-Nazi messages expressed by the program’s students, the program director said, “This is only a problem if you choose to see it as a problem.”
Lundberg tweeted, “I’ve said it before and I say it again, Georgetown is a school for Nazis.”
