We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
During a pro-Palestinian protest at the University of California, Los Angeles Monday night, Rabbi Dovid Gurevich, the head of the campus Chabad, was verbally harassed and had his phone knocked out of his hand.
Gurevich said that he went to the protest to “support our Jewish students.” After nightfall, he began to livestream on Instagram the protest near Dodd Hall, located in the middle of campus. His goal, he said, was to keep parents informed of what was happening on campus.
Throughout the course of the video, protesters called Gurevich a “pedophile rabbi” and accused him of wanting to sexually assault children. The protesters also approached the UCLA Jewish students, screaming at them. Gurevich encouraged protesters to remove their masks, to which a protester responded, “If I show my face, I’ll have to f**king kill you.”
At the end of the video, Gurevich approached the UCLA Police Department officers. “They are talking about killing me,” he told them. “Is there ever going to be any arrests for this kind of behavior? I mean, this is beyond assault, this is a direct threat.”
“The police were right there, but they told me I would have to go to a station to file a report,” Gurevich said in an interview Tuesday. “They told me they were only there to deescalate.”
