"As Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) protesters picketed outside a Barnard trustee's residence near the SW corner of 72nd street and Park, we were attacked on the crosswalk by Reuven Kahane, an Upper East Side resident and Zionist who is a relative of the late Israeli fascist leader Meir Kahane. After driving up in his car, asking a protester for a flyer, and grabbing the protester's arm, Kahane parked in front of the picketers until we started leaving, then circled the block to drive into our peaceful demonstration. One member of CUAD's de-escalation team was struck and has since been hospitalized. Kahane's actions follow a round of incendiary claims from public officials urging violence against student protesters, including Councilmember Vickie Paladin's demand for student protesters to be "slayed," a call for vigilante injustice that was nearly fulfilled today."

"Reuven Kahane is a relative of Rabbi Meir Kahane, an infamous Zionist fascist who believed in a Jewish theocratic state where non-Jews have no voting rights. Followers of Kahane have been responsible for numerous violent attacks against Palestinians, including the 1994 murder of 29 Muslim worshippers in the holy city of Hebron. Israel's current National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has publicly praised Kahane. Reuven Kahane's actions today model a trend in which Zionists weaponize their discomfort over political slogans as an excuse to assault Palestinian, Muslim, Arab, Black, brown, and dissident Jewish protesters in violent retaliation for imagined threats. Reuven Kahane's actions are emblematic of anti-Palestinian violence encouraged by elected officials like Paladino and Mayor Adams."
