Hamas taunted Israeli hostages with images of antisemitic Columbia University protests: 'We have our own people everywhere'
Briefly

In a recently filed lawsuit, freed Israeli hostage Shlomi Ziv detailed his harrowing experience of being taunted by Hamas captors, who displayed news reports and images of antisemitic protests at Columbia University while he was held in Gaza. They claimed to have a wide-reaching 'army' of propagandists in the U.S. The lawsuit alleges that Columbia protest organizers acted as agents of Hamas, impacting the lives of hostages and blurring lines between activism and terrorism. The case has ignited discussions about the roles of universities in such dynamics.
With the news report on, his captors told him, 'You see, we have our own people everywhere,' claiming their 'army' spreads propaganda in America.
Ziv, a plaintiff in the suit, recounted being shown disturbing images from protests, revealing a deep connection between campus activism and Hamas propaganda efforts.
