Elisha « Lishi » Baker said that he was told by an anti-Israel protester to « kill yourself » during a demonstration at Columbia University.
A Jewish Columbia University student was told to « kill yourself » and repeatedly kicked in the stomach during an anti-Israel protest on the New York City campus.
Elisha « Lishi » Baker, 21, told the New York Post that the antisemitic comments came after his shirt was scorched by fire.
He said that he felt that the protesters did not « see my humanity. »
« I knew the anti-American sentiment was rampant [among protesters], » Baker told the outlet Wednesday. « I didn’t know how deadly rampant it was until my shirt was on fire. Personally, I felt they didn’t see my humanity. »
Baker shared with the New York Post that curiosity brought him and his friend, David Lederer, to the protest at the Ivy League university’s campus.
