(JEWISH GROUP) Protestors Disrupt October 7 Memorial at Pomona College

Masked protestors disrupted an event held Wednesday evening in commemoration of the two-year anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel, shouting at attendees that they were “all complicit in genocide.” The memorial event, hosted at Pomona College by Claremont Hillel and the Claremont Colleges’ Jewish Chaplain, featured a talk by Oct. 7 survivor Yoni Viloga.


The vigil was scheduled on the Hebrew-calendar anniversary of the attacks and featured candlelighting, prayers, and a presentation by Viloga, who survived the Oct. 7 attacks in his native kibbutz. Viloga reflected on the trauma he experienced alongside his family, and the talk included graphic footage of his murdered neighbors surrounded by Hamas terrorists.


Shortly after Viloga concluded his presentation, four individuals with their faces wrapped in keffiyehs barged in through the room’s fire exit door. The event’s lone security guard was standing outside of the room, stationed at what was believed to be the only accessible entrance.


“The fact that they burst into the room mere minutes after we had watched graphic and disturbing video footage of similarly dressed Hamas terrorists committing horrific atrocities made the moment incredibly frightening and all the more shocking,” a leader of Haverim, the colleges’ Jewish student union that had promoted the event, told the Independent.

And not only shoot themselves in the foot - but then reload and blow it right off.

People that are capable of seeing no one, and nothing - except their own truth ...
Are both ugly - and dangerous
