Police clear anti-Israel camps at MIT, UPenn as protests continue across US

A Ph.D. from Stanford University. A student testifying before Congress about the rise of anti-Semitism on college campuses compared anti-Israel protesters who set up camp on campus to children and the school to parents who refuse to exercise appropriate discipline.

Kevin Feigelis, 30, who studies artificial intelligence at the Northern California campus, said anti-Israel agitators disrupted classes and some professors and teaching assistants encouraged students to participate in demonstrations.

“I’m a little older than these young people going to college,” Feigelis told Fox News Digital. “These kids aren’t really my main enemy. I consider them children because they are mostly 18 years old. They misbehave and behave like children, and it is the nature of children to misbehave.”

“It's a parent's job… to point us in a direction,” he added. “Unfortunately, it is the university and the university’s board of trustees and management who are failing in their duty as surrogate parents of these children to discipline and hold them accountable and to tell them that it is unacceptable to fundamentally terrorize Jewish students.”

Last month, two Jewish students at Stanford University took a photo of a protester wearing an infamous green Hamas headband at a camp in White Plaza, near the center of campus.

“We were just shocked that someone like that could be in the middle of our campus,” one of the students previously told Fox News Digital.
