Stanford University has become a focal point of intense debate and controversy following the publication of a detailed report in The Atlantic by @tab_delete, Theo Baker. The piece highlights a series of disturbing incidents on campus since 10/7, including demands to denounce Israel at social events, swastikas found in dormitories, and protests against anti-antisemitism events where activists accused Jews of being 'child traffickers' and threatened replacement. The report also covers the vandalism of the university president's house and a subsequent effigy covered in blood. Central to the controversy is a Stanford section leader, El Boudali, who praised the Hamas October 7 attack as a justifiable act of resistance and expressed a desire for Hamas to rule America, even calling for President Joe Biden to be assassinated. Despite these statements, Stanford did not remove El Boudali from teaching duties. The article has sparked widespread reaction, with many praising Baker's in-depth and personal approach to reporting on the campus culture post-October 7, highlighting the unique bigotry and intolerance found among some campus activists.
Hostility toward Jewish students on campus isn’t limited to public universities like UC & CSU. Stanford isn’t immune. This new piece in @TheAtlantic is chilling. https://t.co/ULMqPHOnBr

Outstanding piece in @TheAtlantic THE WAR AT STANFORD I didn’t know that college would be a factory of unreason. By Theo Baker @tab_delete https://t.co/QUQIw9BHmH
A few months ago, we featured Stanford grad student, TA and Jihadi fanboy Hamza El Boudali. A new @TheAtlantic article on El Boudali details him stating @POTUS should be killed. "I'm not calling for a civilian to do it, but I think a military should. I'd be happy if Biden was… https://t.co/frU0y9PBfE https://t.co/sP9ysw4XTI

If you want an inside look into the current state of intellectual discourse on US college campuses - which is abysmal - this is a great read by on the October 7 aftermath at @Stanford https://t.co/RyD5Ktvmv5

Pop quiz…so who’s ‘extremely irresponsible’: a) The Atlantic…who published this piece abt Stanford’s campus extremism? OR b) This Stanford student…who thks Oct-7 was a justifiable act of resistance, Biden shd be executed & Hamas shd rule America? https://t.co/qfxCZYFa6w https://t.co/OQnBuAkFjB
The Stanford grad student quoted in the opening of Theo Baker’s Atlantic article as calling for Biden’s death is seen here calling the president a “genocidal maniac” and comparing him to Hitler and Osama Bin Laden. https://t.co/H5zymkyWjp
The unstoppable journo phenom Theo Baker @tab_delete, who exposed the academic misconduct of @Stanford’s president and sent him packing, now turns his sights to a California campus torn asunder by a proxy war. https://t.co/LWiOXformu

Stanford didn’t remove El Boudali from teaching duties after he praised Hamas, called for Biden to be assassinated, and told the Jewish students whom he grades that they would be treated “very well, just like the hostages,” in a Hamas caliphate. Now his luck may have run out. https://t.co/E9FRcLDP7r
The Stanford grad student calling for Biden's assassination has a Twitter account and if you check its history before 10/7 he tweeted exclusively about two topics - abortion and the LGBT agenda (against both). https://t.co/xQ5en6Eob4
Stanford students say they want peace in Gaza—yet aggression and abuse have become an accepted part of activism, @tab_delete, an undergraduate student, reports. https://t.co/0UGibBZhRL
I would say I can't believe a college student wrote this great Atlantic piece on campus tensions at Stanford, but it's the same sophomore that reported on and exposed Tessier-Lavigne's manipulated results. https://t.co/09E1ikKiAT https://t.co/T41m0O6wP1
"The religious leaders formed a protective barrier in front of the Jewish students. The rabbi and the imam appeared to be crying." We hear a lot about the hatred on east coast campuses. But all is not well at Stanford. @tab_delete reports. https://t.co/qc8Chj0YuN
A remarkable piece. Hats off to the author, a college sophomore https://t.co/83sdkZeMcI
I was worried and angry about the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, but The Atlantic has pointed out that the real battle is in Palo Alto over campus vibes and if Stanford students feel safe.
Such a good, in depth piece here by @tab_delete on the bigotry, intolerance, and antisemitism found among leftists on one particular college campus.👇 https://t.co/RVezkEytKe
This @TheAtlantic piece is absolutely nuts. Student at Stanford calling for Joe Biden to be assassinated, and expressing a preference for Hamas to rule America. https://t.co/YA1mbLJPOU
Finally, The Atlantic is covering the story that nobody else is willing to talk about: campus culture at an elite university https://t.co/Kl7cg3bBCQ
So proud of @tab_delete for this incredibly powerful, deeply reported and thought provoking piece on Stanford's war over the Gaza war. This is what Ben Bradlee used to call a "holy shit" story from its stunning lead to its head-snapping conclusion. https://t.co/C1uTBaXoOQ
Quite an opening anecdote in this richly reported @TheAtlantic piece on Stanford after Oct. 7. https://t.co/mUVOPRqwcW

This is a remarkable and rare piece: not an outsider parachuting into a college campus and attempting to understand it, but a student writing from the inside as only they can. Worth reading to the very end. https://t.co/MHYrySXSyG

“I know that I’m a target,” @Stanford’s president told me, not long after his house was vandalized and days before an effigy of him was covered in blood. (1/2)
The moral rot on campuses: “[Stanford section leader] El Boudali has also said that he believes that Hamas’s October 7 attack was a justifiable act of resistance, and that he would actually prefer Hamas rule America in place of its current government (though he clarified later…
Parties that require you to denounce Israel to get in? Swastikas in dorms? Activists protesting an anti-antisemitism event by shouting that Jews are “child traffickers” who “will all be replaced”? Welcome to @Stanford since 10/7. https://t.co/pluCRtFMRC
Quite the lede from Theo Baker: https://t.co/rV60YzUJ3J https://t.co/1Z4OA8FeF4
My piece today in @theatlantic is the product of five months of work, dozens of hours of interviews, and a lot of personal anguish. It tells the story of a campus consumed in unique fashion by bigotry, of reasonable students enabling rancor. Take a read! https://t.co/pluCRtFMRC
