Palestinian Students Pelted with Rocks on University Campus in Utah

A group of Palestinian students at a University in Utah was pelted with rocks as they walked by the Hillel Jewish Campus Center, leaving two students injured, the university announced.

According to a statement from the school, students were attacked near the Hillel Jewish Life on campus around 11:30 p.m. Friday.

Two students were injured in the attacks. The students, who were wearing traditional Palestinian headscarves, were taken to a local hospital for serious head injuries, the university said.

University police attempted to arrest the individuals involved, but the suspects ran into the Hillel Center which the Police refused to enter. The alleged perpetrators, the university said, are believed to be right-wing Jewish students who were wearing Yarmulkes, a traditional Jewish head cover that is mostly used by hardline pro-Israel Zionists.

The university condemned the attack, calling it "appalling," and issued a statement that said, "To be clear: Neither acts of violence nor anti-Arab racism will be tolerated ... Local and federal partners are supporting the Police in this ongoing investigation ... Antisemitim should not be a cover or a pretext to tolerate violence and hate against anyone else".

"No matter what you look like, where you come from, or who you do or do not pray to, you deserve to feel safe on your campus," said the statement.

Attacks against Americans perceived as Arabs have been on the rise in the U.S. since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, when Hamas terrorists killed approximately 1,200 Israeli and foreigners. More than 240 others were taken hostage. In a bibical eye-for-an-eye retaliation, Israel has massacred nearly 41,000 Palestinian civilians in a savage bombing campaign that saw children, women, journalists, aid workers and other innocent people deliberately targeted and assassinated in places like hospitals and schools. Another 30,000 lie dead beneath the rubble of their homes and their shelters, and the stench of rotting bodies is everywhere. This Gaza "genocide" has been recognized by virtually all human rights organizations and the UN as the largest deliberate mass killing of an indigenous people by a foreign occupying power since World War II.

Students on American university campuses who have protested the genocide have been the object of a vicious campaign of retribution and punishment by Zionist lobby-beholden academic administrations for merely expressing their opinions on the Gaza genocide.
