At UC Berkeley, a significant disturbance occurred when a mob, identified as pro-Palestinian protesters, disrupted an event featuring IDF soldier Ran Bar-Yoshafat, leading to Jewish students being forced to evacuate the venue. The incident, which took place last night, saw Jewish students harassed, with some reports of them being threatened, assaulted, and spit at. The situation escalated to the point where campus police had to shut down the event due to safety concerns, with Jewish students yelling back at protesters and being evacuated through tunnels. The event's disruption has sparked widespread criticism, with accusations of antisemitism being leveled against the protesters. Senator Rick Scott condemned the incident, highlighting the severity of the situation by questioning UC Berkeley's silence on the matter.
