UC student: “[…] the difference between us and people like these cops is that there are limits to when we are following orders. And when you are talking about a genocide, visited upon a colonized population of two million people trapped in a ghetto […] when that ghetto is being systematically starved, slaughtered, every hospital bombed, every university bombed, 70% of homes destroyed, 40.000 people murdered, 15.000 children murdered, the entire population on the brink of starvation, we say, if our government and academic insitutions are complicit in this, there comes a point where we say we’re not following orders and it doesn’t matter what you do to us, because there are principles and there are human lives that matter more than our careers and our futures […]”

Dr. Jill Stein: “We’re standing here with the students at WashU standing up for our constitutional rights, standing up for the American people who want an end to this genocide now. And the police are gathered here, and, ah, we’re gonna stand here in line with the students who are standing up for democracy, standing up for human rights, standing up to end genocide.”

Someone points to Professor Steve Tamari who perhaps stands a little bit to close to the back of some officers while filming with his mobile phone:

The black overweight police officer clumsily proceeds to grab Tamari and stumbles into another police officer:

Four officers latch onto Tamari — someone shouts “Don’t hurt him” — and throw him to the ground backwards:

From another camera and angle; note how the first clumsy police officer wraps and falls on Tamari’s leg which is perhaps what caused Tamari’s reported foot fracture:

The clumsy police officer and another police then drag the body of the non-resisting Steve Tamari across the ground and away from the other police officers by the arms which are yanked far above Tamari’s head and in what looks like an unhealthy angle:

A third officer with a bicycle helmet in blue and black joins. He aggressively puts his knee in Tamiri’s side and then again viciously slams his knee down on the old professor’s ribs; this is probably how Tamari’s ribs were broken:

Tamari rolls on the ground in pain from the inflicted rib injury:

The thusly seriously injured professor Steve Tamari then gets dragged across the ground again to a police van:

Ron DeSantis [gaslighting and rambling]: “You look at these universities. When we have students who are doing things that… I mean look, some of the stuff with the Hamas[!], I, I think it’s absurd that someone would go out and, and demonstrate on that.[!] But when you are chasing Jewish students around[!!] […] that’s not free speech. I mean that, that’s harrassment[!], that violates appropriate conduct.”

harrassed female protester: “You’re literally…”

Ziofascist harrasser Jonathan Yudelman: “I’m literally in your face, that’s right.”

harrassed female protester: “You’re disrespecting my […] boundaries.”

Ziofascist harrasser Jonathan Yudelman [aggressively harrassing]: “You disrespect my sense of humanity, bitch!”

Ziofascist harrasser Sammy Ben: “Who invited you here? Go back to Jihad, go.”

As of June 12, 2024 and strangely, Yudelman is still listed among the people section of the University of Austin however:

Even stranger and in contradiction, a search for Jonathan Yudelman at their homepage shows no results:
