(Jewish Group) Stanford Student Who Threatened to 'Physically Fight' Zionists Steps Down as RA

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

Hamzeh Daoud, the third-year Stanford student who threatened to “physically fight” Zionists in a Facebook post, announced that he would be stepping down from his position as Resident Assistant (RA) to a Stanford dormitory in the fall.

In an August 3 op-ed in The Stanford Daily, Daoud described himself as “a third-generation Palestinian refugee” and called his Facebook post “an emotion filled moment” in response to the recently passed nation-state law.

“After spending a few hours away from Facebook, I read over my post again and realized how infused it was with the same hatred that has caused my own family so much suffering,” Daoud wrote. “It was the antithesis of why I chose this path in life. A sloppy comment made during an emotion-filled reaction to yet another layer of trauma, the comment did not convey my values, who I am currently, or who I hope to become.”

Daoud went onto explain that he later revised his post to read “intellectually fight Zionists on campuses” while acknowledging that he had originally written “physically fight” because he didn’t want to “be misrepresented and misunderstand.”

1. What's particularly sad

Is it does not appear that Standford took any official action against this particular antisemitic putz.

Peer pressure did it.

If he had targeted any other group -- even generic white people -- for such hate, he'd have been kicked out of school.

But hating on Jews is OK.
