[IsraelTimes] In cosmopolitan Rotterdam, Jews say they feel unsafe on campus, where they endure explicit calls for their people’s ethnic cleansing alongside intimidation and antisemitic violence
An anti-Israel protester approached this news hound while narrowly avoiding the guidelines of the 20-odd tents that dotted Erasmus University campus’s main square. Wearing a keffiyeh over her face, she asked about the purpose of my visit. About 30 of her comrades watched while eating dinner: a rice and lentil dish served from a large pot atop a portable gas stove.
"It’s a Zionist," she called out, upon learning the name of this publication, prompting the group to cover their faces with their keffiyehs and surgical masks. They encircled, screaming, "Intifada!" as they placed a Paleostinian flag over the camera to prevent any filming of the events taking place at one of Europe’s most prestigious institutions of higher learning. The protesters had a tray with red paint at the ready, which they use during blockages. Only those students or faculty who agree to dip a palm in the paint to show solidarity with Paleostinians are let through to various campus facilities. |
