campus groups, like Republican conservative groups that were like just pure Zionists.

And they would invite like IDF soldiers to come speak on campus.

Yeah.

Like Israeli officials, like they're really, um, putting Muslims in a bad position.

Like you had, um, yeah, you had a lot of what do you consider anti-Muslim sentiment that was, um,

sanctioned or allowed to happen on the university, which is ironic because now they talk about if you have a pro-Palestine protest that's anti-Semitic, you're making a hostile environment for Jewish students.

But they didn't care about Muslim students back then.

They didn't care about making Muslims feel like a fifth column.

So there was there was even a email that went out from the dean or one of the assistant deans.

She emailed the Republican campus group like they put out a magazine and that magazine was putting out a lot of anti-Muslim stuff.

And the dean sent them an email saying that, you know, because of your actions, because of putting out this anti-Muslim content,

You're allowed to do it, but just be aware the Muslims might get violent.

The Muslim students might get violent.

So then we're, as Muslim students, you're just calling us violent terrorists.

You're saying that the Muslim students are going to do something violent just because we don't like this anti-Muslim stuff being published.

So even like that was the depth of the kind of bias against Muslims at that time.

But even at the level of the dean of Harvard, like she was putting out like emails like because that email got leaked and it was reported on with the campus newspaper and even nationally.

I think there was national news about it at that time.

That is nuts.
