UC Berkeley student speaks out about 'horrific day for Jewish students,' says freshman female was 'choked' during violent protest: WATCH

The co-president of a pro-Israel organization at the University of California, Berkeley told Campus Reform that the violent protests of Feb. 26, which left several students injured, was “one of the most horrific” days for Jewish students at the institution.

Danielle Sobkin is the co-president of Bears for Israel, which joined several organizations in hosting Ran Bar Yoshafat, a former soldier for the IDF and lawyer, for an event titled “Israel at War: Combat the Lies,” which was intended to focus on international law.

Bears for Palestine, a Pro-Palestine group at the University of California, Berkeley, announced on social media before the event that it would be “SHUTTING IT DOWN.”

“So [Ran Bar Yoshafat] was actually coming to speak about international law, which, again, I don’t think the greater community really understood,” Sobkin said. “And it turned into, you know, one of the most horrific days for Jewish students on campus.”
