From the College Fix, Protesters outside U. Oregon Hillel praise Oct. 7 terrorists, demand ban on Jewish student group 

A group of pro-Palestinian protesters descended on Hillel at the University of Oregon on Wednesday — the third anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks — to demand the Jewish student group be banished from campus. 

Chants from the group of roughly 25 protesters included praise for those who conducted the “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” incursion that killed more than 1,200 Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, 2023, according to videos of the protest obtained by The College Fix. “Hillel off campus,” the group chanted. “Glory to the martyrs of the Al-Aqsa Flood.” “No more IDF on campus,” was another chant led by the Anti-Imperialist Front group. It’s unknown how many students took part in the demonstration.

There was no movement visible from inside the Hillel house as the chants continued from the protesters, most of whom donned masks and hoodies to conceal their identities. Two Israeli flags hung from windows of the two-story house, and candles flickered in each of its window sills to memorialize the victims of the terrorist attack. The house is located at the western edge of the University of Oregon campus in Eugene.

On Wednesday afternoon, protesters also burned an American flag along the sidewalk near the house’s front porch.

Well, Eugene.
