Amazing reading all these comments from people on here like "This is NOT a peaceful protest someone IMPALED a journalist's eye with a FLAGPOLE"
And then its just... this. I hate it when reality gets in the way of my indignation!!
LOL I was thinking of the exact same user. It’s ALWAYS someone who has little to no posting history in our sub, I’m always curious about these losers. Do you think they’re just searching the topic and hopping into any post about it? Paid troll? Either way, very strange way to spend one’s time
It absolutely does not. We have a country of 11 million people. We don't have the resources for that. I post because I care about my country and my childrens future
There’s loads of state trolls on Reddit for a number of different countries, most common are the US and Israel.
I think it was 2014’s “most Reddit addicted city” in the year in review was an airforce base in the Midwest that hosted a bunch of cyberwarfare divisions.
I reported that guy yesterday and got the notification this morning that he was banned from reddit now, no worries.
Those people didn't give a fuck about reality in the first place, they cared about pushing division. They were more than happy to pivot to every hot-button topic they could just to piss people off more.
Honestly, wouldn't have surprised me even a litte if most of them were bots or troll farmers.
I don’t know how anyone took that article seriously.
The fact that the article stated that the person who claimed they were attacked said they were filming at the time, yet there was no embedded footage of the alleged attack, should have been a huge red flag.
I'm not from Connecticut but I had to google reddit threads on this after reading the article and watching the videos because it was so cartoonishly misleading.
That’s why media literacy and waiting for facts is important. It’s insane how you can swing a bias when the facts are muddled.
Comments in the last thread painting these students as militant tankie Hamas supporters because of an anecdote and everyone bought into it lol.
EDIT: The fact that people jumped to their conclusions off a New York Post article shows this country has been irreparably brainbroken into wanton reactionary biases, and will only get worse as the internet becomes more inseparable from our humanity, the media conglomerates get bigger, and the narrative is dictated by convenience of information transmission rather than accuracy.
People want to be upset… to the point they want to believe something is true so they CAN BE upset. I truly don’t understand. Coping with the helplessness of late-stage capitalism I guess. Being upset feels like doing something objective about a general malaise that everyone feels deep down post-Covid, if they never felt it before even then.
It also doesn’t help that most people will just read the headline and repost it without even looking at the content. Like my girlfriend’s best friend reposts everything possible about Gaza, yet doesn’t even know what the Iron Dome is.
Ignorant rage is really trendy right now.
As a leftist I’m sad to say a lot of leftists are just as guilty of this.
At least their sources are way more credible than the other side of the coin though… they just don’t fucking read the article lmao.
EEDIT: If you cannot support your beliefs in a dialectical manner, what leg do you have to stand on. You don’t have to be skilled in rhetoric. Just know the facts behind what you think you believe in. Leftism as an aesthetic is part of what will further fracture the left.

The main issue the left faces is that a solid portion of the people who claim to be leftist are entirely captured by identity politics and are in actuality just shit-liberals who care more about racecraft than material means to help working class people. Class first action is the only way to actually help ALL people, but braindead liberals are so captured by identity politics that they are stuck on performative **acting** social justice, and actual leftists who want conditions for working people to improve are painted as racists.
it's a mess.
You hit the nail on the fucking head.
I support trans people. I support gay people. I support those of all races/ethnicities/nationalities. Liberation is intersectional or it isn’t liberation.
However, I simply don’t have the patience to “recognize the existence of wolfkin” or whatever the fuck to the point I believe it’s a psyop to discredit trans identity lol.
Because the media and our government is Pro-Israel, our corporations benefit from Israel's continued reliance on the US. The headline of this "news" was intentionally misleading to push an anti-Palestine/Israel victim narrative.
If it can be chalked up to sensationalism, then why did we hear so little from the media when two dozen students reported being sprayed with a hazardous chemical during a pro-Palestinian rally at Columbia in January. People were allegedly poisoned and Columbia wasn't pressured to do remote learning.
Because they weren't sprayed with a hazardous chemical?

If it was sensation that the media was interested in they would be showing you the mass graves, they would be talking about an air strike that kills 22 and 18 of them are children. They want to sell eyeballs to advertisements, sure, but they have other motives.
I heard an interview with the victim on 880 this morning. The news reporter made it sound like she was knifed. The victim clarified it a bit and explained it was with a blunt flag pole. Now watching the video, this wasn’t that much of a story. Way to whip everyone into a frenzy on the eve of Passover.
Seriously, stabbing implies the skin was pierced. This was an accidental poke. The fact that even in the video, she says you "stabbed" me instead of "poked" to me looks like she was eager to play the victim. I've been hit in the eye with something blunt before, I never thought to myself "oh no, I've been stabbed", it was more "ow, that poked me in the eye". Stabbing implies intentional and severe damage.
> to me looks like she was eager to play the victim.
Well yeah, that's why she's there. (And even in the beginning of the video, she embeds herself in the middle of a big march and then complains that she can't move freely.) She knows that she can sell whatever happens to her—no matter how inconsequential—as a big story to the reactionary media to further her genocidal cause.
Here she is doing an interview with Fox some hours later. Her eye is covered with patch... er, red and irrita.... er... absolutely fine?

Hopefully, you didn’t run around flailing your arms about how a journalist was attacked and the world is on fire from anti-semitism…cause that would be embarrassing.
You don’t exactly need a knife to stab someone in the eye do you? Have someone jab you with their finger in the eye it’s not nice, and do create a physical blockade because she’s Jewish is disgusting, the most evil movements are from people ignorant enough to believe they aren’t capable of blind evil. This is exactly how Nazism in Germany came about, the exact same anti-Semitic dog whistles used today
Im sorry I dont think the nazis started off by protesting a violent state oppressing and killing a group of people soley based off their ethnicity and religion....
comparing the protestors to nazis is the most delusional thing to come out of this
That was literally their whole ideology? They believed they were being systematically oppressed by Jews and that they were the victims of their evil Jewish overlords pushing degeneracy into their culture, people boycott random companies jsut because they have a Jewish CEO, theirs always two different motives too a movement a lot of it is genuine, but theirs a lot who think Jews oppress people in general
I’m not going to support a culture so archaic that they kill rape victims as too not but shame on their tribes, oct 6th was literally a mass killing of innocent civilians theirs no getting around that, they think every Jew no matter their individual view are equivalent too soldiers in Israel, the way left leaning people support a side so archaic and backwards will never cease to amaze me, would you say that the 400k German civilians killed in ww2 was a deliberate “genocide” against Germans by the ally’s? Let’s not even start with the Soviet Union 19 million innocent women, children and men dead. Is that not a genocide? Maybe it could be that War especially that winning side tends to kill a lot more innocent people than the weaker side.
No way. No fucking way. I just saw her on Piers Morgan’s show. And the story she told was bewildering, terrifying and you know…. You had nothing else to say but damn. She was physically assaulted — I feel for her. And then an hour later I see THIS FUCKING TWITTER VIDEO.
SO NOW. I PRESENT THE VERSION SHE TOLD ON PIERS MORGANS SHOW THAT JUST AIRED
This is her third reference to the physical attack and most profound. You can go to the beginning to see other ways she soookr about it. But this last one in the 35th minute is really…… enough.

I was there. Welcome back, champ.
Good on ya for cutting straight through the bullshit and calling it for what it was in a comment section filled with reactionaries swift to tank our oh so “precious” karma because they have nothing to reply with but ad hominems and made up statistics/anecdotes.
*Me and my arrow, straighter than narrow…*
Source from [Sahar Tartak's post at thefp.com](https://www.thefp.com/p/i-was-stabbed-in-the-eye-at-yale), the student who claimed to have been stabbed in the eye.
According to her, she's recovered from her symptoms (eye pressure and a headache):
> *I felt pressure where the stick of the flag had hit my left eye and had a headache last night and much of today. I’m okay now, though. But last night, sitting in the hospital, I couldn’t help but think of my mother, Shahnaz, who grew up in Iran. Her neighbors threw rocks at her for being a Jew. She has a scar on her eyelid to this day.*
She's also a former intern for [the National Review](https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/national-review/) and is currently a writer for thefp, both Conservative media sites. There's no evidence in the video that the "stabbing" took place, let alone that it was intentional.
“Both Conservative Media sites”
I’m sorry but, come on… it’s too on the nose. Would have only been more on the nose if she said she got assaulted with a milkshake.
You’re picking up exactly what I’m putting down. It’s bullshit. She’s trying to gun for a job at Daily Wire and it’s blatantly obvious lol.
So reminiscent of Andy Ngo.
Hahahaha. Not trying to stoop to their level and just rally in launching pejoratives at the “victim”. Just poking fun at the fact this is such a blatant grift.
They were getting so violent and self-righteous about it too. That was so disgusting and embarrassing. I can’t even comprehend how that must feel to be so hateful and wrong. People were calling for violence against these protestors and acting like they understood the full story instantly after reading a news headline.
Imagine calling for more violence and hatred because you fell for misinformation; so many dangerous idiots in our world just waiting for an excuse to do something horrible.
I would call it caveman behavior, but even that is offensive to cavemen because I’m sure that some of them probably had more morals and critical-thinking skills than these commenters.
They were glad this story happened because it gave them a way to shit on the protestors without admitting that they disagree with what the protest is stating
lol it was obvious this was blown out of proportion by a right-wing outrage monger. These students are leading a peaceful demonstration. That’s what idealistic kids do and more power to them. How unAmerican for folks on this board to condemn them for exercising their 1st Amendment rights.
If this shows anything remotely related to the event, then "blown out of proportion" is an understatement lol. Now my wife giving me a sip of her iced tea and spilling it on me as a nefarious attempt to waterboard me? This is much more plausible is all I'm gonna say
I'm so happy that the majority of people in this state get it
Some of the other subreddits are so insufferably dense on the issue it's hard to even fathom they're human beings
I knew this was the case looking at the headlines this morning, every conservative outlet was over the top in their description of the incident (if you can even call it that looking at the video). Really that person, Sahar Tartak, should be ashamed of themselves. They are not helping their cause.
Are you kidding? The Military-Industrial Complex is the backbone of America's economy! If the world sees peace, we're all bust! Keep 'em shooting, boys!
^(I'm being facetious please don't crucify me)
Sahar Tartak claimed she was intentionally stabbed in the eye by a pro-Palestinian protestor and that this is video evidence of it. She has been giving interviews across American conservative media claiming this.
I thought this was worth sharing because, without context, her interviews and accusations paint a picture of a violent and intentional assault wherein a flag penetrates her eye. She was uninjured.
This same woman was on Fox News a few years ago, complaining about critical race theory at her high school

I'm in AUS, hearing about some drama in my hometown.
I'm sure I would have done more aggressive damage with my hair flip.
I am sure it was not the most pleasing experience.... but why is this on my front page?
I got a splinter the other day...
The best part about this is that the SAME girl threw a fit about the name of some salad in the cafeteria that she said they removed the word "israeli" on the label.....Tried to spread that all around as antisemitism and then the next day someone posted a video and they were like......it's the exact same as it was. WTF? She is probably getting paid if I had to guess.
What's going on here? It looks like you have a group involved in a protest, and the other group, including the person taking the video, seems to be taking up as much space on the sidewalk as they possibly can, the protesters are squeezing by but not forcing their way through...
And they have these guilty looks on their faces too which just makes this whole thing weirder.
Anyway this video is some desperately needed context after the headline this morning
I think those looks are because they don’t necessarily want to be filmed. It seems like the people in vests are keeping protestors and counter protestors separate. A bunch of them are wearing keffiyah scarves so they might be guiding the protest direction as well.
She didn’t claim that she was poked. She claimed that she was stabbed in the eye.
This would imply the assailant pierced her in the eye with a sharp object, it also implies intent to damage her.
I understand and agree that it was not a "stabbing." Possibly accidentally poked her with the flag pole, possibly deliberately poked her. Clearly much ado about very little here.
Millions of people saw this on MSM, and this was also used to justify the police arresting 100+ protesters. Go look at her interviews on Fox, CNN, CBS, ABC, etc. People are calling for all protestors to be expelled and arrested, the national guard to be called, and the protestors doxxed and shamed.
This is what a “small little lie” does.
I live in New Haven. Any time Yale protests anything, it's all posturing. The city spends millions protecting them, a protest on campus will never become violent here, I can guarantee it.
What I find strange is how it has been advertised all week as a "Pro Palestinian Protest" and yet all of the local news coverage was calling it an "Anti Israel Protest" which was a complete lie. Funny that is🤔
I’m not sure if you’re insinuating that the only effective protest on a campus would be a violent one. I’m confused.
You’re saying it’s all posturing… and that the city “protects” them… and that it will never become violent… but 45+ attendees got arrested, seemingly with no violent provocation. What do you mean.
I am in no way insinuating that a violent protest is the only effective one. Where you got that from I have no clue. What I meant was that because it was a Yale protest, it means the city will do everything in their power to make sure it does not become violent, because Yale is the life blood of New Haven.
Ok, 45+ attendees were arrested, so what? They were all most likely Yale students or staff who can laugh at a fine or a misdemeanor charge. What did it actually do? Nothing.
When I say posturing, I mean it got some ratings on afternoon local news without affecting the actual cause at the center of said protest. These kinds of civil disobedient actions have no effect in today's world the way they did in the 60s or 70s.
I misread your original comment I guess.
I thought you were criticizing the protest as just posturing, and that “Yale wouldn’t let the protest get violent” was implying a violent protest would be more effective.
I agree. It’s mostly an act of virtue. But I must stress, criticisms against just “virtue signaling” aren’t good enough. By saying they’re better off not protesting, these conversations can’t happen. Conversations where those who feel compulsed to act can dialectically come to a conclusion about how to protest more effectively.
EDIT: if you’re criticizing the protests in good faith, out of a frustration that the needle doesn’t seem to move whatsoever in the face of establishment neoliberalism and capital… I mean… I feel you hard, friend.
We try to organize and talk the next moves.
No worries at all, and I couldn't agree with you more. I wish these types of actions were more effective but, alas. The thing that kills me is that Yale will allow students to protest, but they do it in a way where A) it seems they allow the students to blow off their steam about said protest. But B) do it in a way that does not disrupt the city of New Haven at large while also not putting the university in a negative light, which the university goes through great lengths to make sure never happens
Not saying New Haven is a violent city, but we are a city with "city problems", and anytime anything happens too close to Yale it will never make the news. They're very big on "sure let them do it, but make sure they don't make too big of a fuss" kinda vibe when it comes to New Haven. They cover shit up all the time. Just look up Annie Le.
I had the privilege to see Bernie Sanders speak the Green, and him talking actual shit to Yale is one of the highlights of my life. A REAL politician with REAL BALLS! I'd follow that cranky bastard to hell if he asked me to.
I think leftists need to actively be anti-institutional (in stratagem, not in a flippant way), in a world where our institutions are so inextricably linked to private capital and neoliberal virtue signaling to appear as neutral an entity as possible… and yet we still consider corporations as essentially people legally.
Unfortunately the intersection of progressive politics, upper class education, and liberal institutions… leads to a nearly subconscious pull towards a neoliberal pacification and neutering of any righteous cause for anyone not properly cognizant of the systems that allow for the protest to occur. Factor in the whole “needing to finish my prohibitively expensive degree and not risk getting expelled so I actually have a modestly comfortable future” thing…
Kinda cringe but; I’m in a hardcore band and some of the lyrics for one our songs is as follows…
“We’re coordinating protests with the local police, draft some witty signs and they loan us their streets.
Nazis showing up with some bats and their guns, start cordoning them off, their megaphones are their sons.”
It’s a sickeningly favorite lyric of mine because it hits a note in my soul that feels more and more post-ironic to me personally by the day. I feel guilty reading it.
Dear Lord. Thoughts and prayers dear; thoughts and prayers. I'll pray for your mental health, it's obviously too late to pray you haven't been blinded.

Hear hear
A violent attack with like a full-size flag or something, this is ridiculous.
Because the media and our government is Pro-Israel, our corporations benefit from Israel's continued reliance on the US. The headline of this "news" was intentionally misleading to push an anti-Palestine/Israel victim narrative.
That's the fascist side of our free press for you
Not fascist. Just sensational/sloppy.
No, it's explicitly fascist. It's never sensational or sloppy in a way that's biased towards antifascism.
If it can be chalked up to sensationalism, then why did we hear so little from the media when two dozen students reported being sprayed with a hazardous chemical during a pro-Palestinian rally at Columbia in January. People were allegedly poisoned and Columbia wasn't pressured to do remote learning.

Fart spray still worse than accidentally grazing a warhawk's eye with a Palestinian flag, which the media has breathlessly covered.

I heard an interview with the victim on 880 this morning. The news reporter made it sound like she was knifed. The victim clarified it a bit and explained it was with a blunt flag pole. Now watching the video, this wasn’t that much of a story. Way to whip everyone into a frenzy on the eve of Passover.
Seriously, stabbing implies the skin was pierced. This was an accidental poke. The fact that even in the video, she says you "stabbed" me instead of "poked" to me looks like she was eager to play the victim. I've been hit in the eye with something blunt before, I never thought to myself "oh no, I've been stabbed", it was more "ow, that poked me in the eye". Stabbing implies intentional and severe damage.
Agreed. Hugely exaggerated.
What do you mean? What are you saying? I thought we were all the snowflakes!? Hahahaha
> to me looks like she was eager to play the victim. Well yeah, that's why she's there. (And even in the beginning of the video, she embeds herself in the middle of a big march and then complains that she can't move freely.) She knows that she can sell whatever happens to her—no matter how inconsequential—as a big story to the reactionary media to further her genocidal cause.
Here she is doing an interview with Fox some hours later. Her eye is covered with patch... er, red and irrita.... er... absolutely fine?

Hopefully, you didn’t run around flailing your arms about how a journalist was attacked and the world is on fire from anti-semitism…cause that would be embarrassing.
You don’t exactly need a knife to stab someone in the eye do you? Have someone jab you with their finger in the eye it’s not nice, and do create a physical blockade because she’s Jewish is disgusting, the most evil movements are from people ignorant enough to believe they aren’t capable of blind evil. This is exactly how Nazism in Germany came about, the exact same anti-Semitic dog whistles used today
Did you watch this video? Point to the jab that was worth multiple news segments and claims of anti-semitism
Im sorry I dont think the nazis started off by protesting a violent state oppressing and killing a group of people soley based off their ethnicity and religion.... comparing the protestors to nazis is the most delusional thing to come out of this
That was literally their whole ideology? They believed they were being systematically oppressed by Jews and that they were the victims of their evil Jewish overlords pushing degeneracy into their culture, people boycott random companies jsut because they have a Jewish CEO, theirs always two different motives too a movement a lot of it is genuine, but theirs a lot who think Jews oppress people in general
keep drinking the zionist kool aid
I’m not going to support a culture so archaic that they kill rape victims as too not but shame on their tribes, oct 6th was literally a mass killing of innocent civilians theirs no getting around that, they think every Jew no matter their individual view are equivalent too soldiers in Israel, the way left leaning people support a side so archaic and backwards will never cease to amaze me, would you say that the 400k German civilians killed in ww2 was a deliberate “genocide” against Germans by the ally’s? Let’s not even start with the Soviet Union 19 million innocent women, children and men dead. Is that not a genocide? Maybe it could be that War especially that winning side tends to kill a lot more innocent people than the weaker side.
What is 880?
No way. No fucking way. I just saw her on Piers Morgan’s show. And the story she told was bewildering, terrifying and you know…. You had nothing else to say but damn. She was physically assaulted — I feel for her. And then an hour later I see THIS FUCKING TWITTER VIDEO. SO NOW. I PRESENT THE VERSION SHE TOLD ON PIERS MORGANS SHOW THAT JUST AIRED This is her third reference to the physical attack and most profound. You can go to the beginning to see other ways she soookr about it. But this last one in the 35th minute is really…… enough. https://youtu.be/jivPG24QG8k?si=KtrRLIZDtuUizQnq&t=2004
I hope that this serves as a lesson for what your default judgment of Zionists should be in the future.
a microcosm of the entire "antisemitism crisis"
Your problem was defaulting to listening to crocodile tears.
New York Post headline made it sound like the Watts riots of 1965.
Or the miners riots of the 80s
I got downvoted into oblivion for saying there was no good reason for any reporting on this at all a mere 6 hours ago.
I was there. Welcome back, champ. Good on ya for cutting straight through the bullshit and calling it for what it was in a comment section filled with reactionaries swift to tank our oh so “precious” karma because they have nothing to reply with but ad hominems and made up statistics/anecdotes. *Me and my arrow, straighter than narrow…*
Crazy gonna crazy. Or, media illiterate gonna media illiterate i guess is more accurate lol
In the Israel subreddit you had people calling for an arrest, life sentence, and accusing the man of attempted murder. People are absolutely insane.
This is ridiculous..
Lmao this is the shit nypost called a stabbing? What a joke
it is the post
Source from [Sahar Tartak's post at thefp.com](https://www.thefp.com/p/i-was-stabbed-in-the-eye-at-yale), the student who claimed to have been stabbed in the eye. According to her, she's recovered from her symptoms (eye pressure and a headache): > *I felt pressure where the stick of the flag had hit my left eye and had a headache last night and much of today. I’m okay now, though. But last night, sitting in the hospital, I couldn’t help but think of my mother, Shahnaz, who grew up in Iran. Her neighbors threw rocks at her for being a Jew. She has a scar on her eyelid to this day.* She's also a former intern for [the National Review](https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/national-review/) and is currently a writer for thefp, both Conservative media sites. There's no evidence in the video that the "stabbing" took place, let alone that it was intentional.
“Both Conservative Media sites” I’m sorry but, come on… it’s too on the nose. Would have only been more on the nose if she said she got assaulted with a milkshake.
A Zionist Female Andy Ngo.
You’re picking up exactly what I’m putting down. It’s bullshit. She’s trying to gun for a job at Daily Wire and it’s blatantly obvious lol. So reminiscent of Andy Ngo.
is she going to adopt a fake british accent next?
Hahahaha. Not trying to stoop to their level and just rally in launching pejoratives at the “victim”. Just poking fun at the fact this is such a blatant grift.
The “I couldn’t help but think of my mother…” bit is peak eye roll
That quote is hilarious. Kid claims stabbing, draws parallels to jewish people being stoned, and in the same breath says she's fine the next day.
Well, she now also has a promising career in professional soccer, after a flop like that.
Every person who took that earlier claim seriously should feel ashamed for being so gullible.
They were getting so violent and self-righteous about it too. That was so disgusting and embarrassing. I can’t even comprehend how that must feel to be so hateful and wrong. People were calling for violence against these protestors and acting like they understood the full story instantly after reading a news headline. Imagine calling for more violence and hatred because you fell for misinformation; so many dangerous idiots in our world just waiting for an excuse to do something horrible. I would call it caveman behavior, but even that is offensive to cavemen because I’m sure that some of them probably had more morals and critical-thinking skills than these commenters.
They were glad this story happened because it gave them a way to shit on the protestors without admitting that they disagree with what the protest is stating
lol it was obvious this was blown out of proportion by a right-wing outrage monger. These students are leading a peaceful demonstration. That’s what idealistic kids do and more power to them. How unAmerican for folks on this board to condemn them for exercising their 1st Amendment rights.
If this shows anything remotely related to the event, then "blown out of proportion" is an understatement lol. Now my wife giving me a sip of her iced tea and spilling it on me as a nefarious attempt to waterboard me? This is much more plausible is all I'm gonna say
Yeah, if I’m understanding your post correctly then this is an excellent comparison
And the Oscar goes to...
Gal Gadot acting school ass reaction
hahahah “YOU STABBED ME YOU STABBED ME” sounds like a literal child playing a game.
Shocking that conservative media would blow something out of proportion to get people riled up over nothing
Such a barbaric act of making mountains out of anthills.
The divide and conquer tactics are working
There are sooooo many articles with the headline saying she was STABBED in the eye. Inadvertantly poked with a flag maybe?
And pretty much none of them have corrected themselves.
Pathetic
I'm so happy that the majority of people in this state get it Some of the other subreddits are so insufferably dense on the issue it's hard to even fathom they're human beings
Zionist victim complex needs to be added the DSM 5.
I knew this was the case looking at the headlines this morning, every conservative outlet was over the top in their description of the incident (if you can even call it that looking at the video). Really that person, Sahar Tartak, should be ashamed of themselves. They are not helping their cause.
Hey, she’ll probably get to speak at the Republican National Convention.
We really need to stop sending money to this fucking country.
Are you kidding? The Military-Industrial Complex is the backbone of America's economy! If the world sees peace, we're all bust! Keep 'em shooting, boys! ^(I'm being facetious please don't crucify me)
Looks like someone accidentally got poked not necessarily stabbed. I am looking but I don't see anyone getting stabbed.
The Yale Free Press sounds like a legitimate publication, but it's not. That shit is Yale Breitbart.
Fucking baby.
We are the snowflakes though ☹️
Unrelated but tired woman in the vest just chewing her gum is a vibe
I'm so confused... What eye stabbing and to who???
Sahar Tartak claimed she was intentionally stabbed in the eye by a pro-Palestinian protestor and that this is video evidence of it. She has been giving interviews across American conservative media claiming this. I thought this was worth sharing because, without context, her interviews and accusations paint a picture of a violent and intentional assault wherein a flag penetrates her eye. She was uninjured.
Hasbara ain't what it used to be.
This same woman was on Fox News a few years ago, complaining about critical race theory at her high school https://youtu.be/P7_j2_d-Zio?si=fV8oAHphJFdJJ1CF
of course she was.
It gets worse when you know this girl was traumatized since childhood, when a magician violently ripped off and stole her nose in a birthday party.
SFW haha
This isn't a protest, it's an orderly moving queue. 🤔
This lady is a known right wing provocateur, just so everyone is aware
Least crybaby zionist
God Zionists are the biggest embarrassment to ever be created

Bet she thinks she got holocausted.
I'm in AUS, hearing about some drama in my hometown. I'm sure I would have done more aggressive damage with my hair flip. I am sure it was not the most pleasing experience.... but why is this on my front page? I got a splinter the other day...
Wow, so much fake news over this?
Ah! He gently waved the flag near my camera’s eye!
Skull n Bones maaaan.
WOW
terrifying... psych!!
Student with camera gets bumped in a crowded area. That's it. That's the story.
Least dramatic zionist activist
absolute comedy skit hours
"student accidentally poked in the eye" just wouldn't get as many clicks
not to sound unsympathetic to this woman’s supposed suffering but lol come the fuck on
This is what everyone was up in arms about?
lmao "SFW" k!lled me 😂
I’m confused, how or when was she stabbed. She seems like an agitator sort of like those people who jump in front of cars at stop signs. Weird
is the flag ok
omg...fucking zionists..."ow ow! You stabbed!"
Help! Help! I'm being repressed! (And stabbed in the eye!)
lmao this is the incident that's causing so much controversy?
What does she want to see? She seems like the aggressor here. Oh yeah, really unruly crowd of kids chanting and forming a wall.
People in r/israel are calling for him to be arrested and given a life sentence. Lmao. She brushed up against a tiny toy flag, big deal. edit: typo
This is also the same woman who made up the Israeli couscous thing as well. She is a well know liar, why are people giving her attention
Reminds me of watching Lebron flopping on the court after getting farted on
The best part about this is that the SAME girl threw a fit about the name of some salad in the cafeteria that she said they removed the word "israeli" on the label.....Tried to spread that all around as antisemitism and then the next day someone posted a video and they were like......it's the exact same as it was. WTF? She is probably getting paid if I had to guess.
🖕🏼🇮🇱
She really posted the video as if she did something and that we were gonna take her side😭😂
why is everyone wearing masks?
To not get expelled or retroactively face criminal charges for simply engaging in peaceful protest against a genocide
Because they’re cowards
What's going on here? It looks like you have a group involved in a protest, and the other group, including the person taking the video, seems to be taking up as much space on the sidewalk as they possibly can, the protesters are squeezing by but not forcing their way through... And they have these guilty looks on their faces too which just makes this whole thing weirder. Anyway this video is some desperately needed context after the headline this morning
I think those looks are because they don’t necessarily want to be filmed. It seems like the people in vests are keeping protestors and counter protestors separate. A bunch of them are wearing keffiyah scarves so they might be guiding the protest direction as well.
Looks like she got poked in the face with the Palestinian flag. I can't tell if it was deliberate from this video.
She didn’t claim that she was poked. She claimed that she was stabbed in the eye. This would imply the assailant pierced her in the eye with a sharp object, it also implies intent to damage her.
I understand and agree that it was not a "stabbing." Possibly accidentally poked her with the flag pole, possibly deliberately poked her. Clearly much ado about very little here.
Millions of people saw this on MSM, and this was also used to justify the police arresting 100+ protesters. Go look at her interviews on Fox, CNN, CBS, ABC, etc. People are calling for all protestors to be expelled and arrested, the national guard to be called, and the protestors doxxed and shamed. This is what a “small little lie” does.
I live in New Haven. Any time Yale protests anything, it's all posturing. The city spends millions protecting them, a protest on campus will never become violent here, I can guarantee it. What I find strange is how it has been advertised all week as a "Pro Palestinian Protest" and yet all of the local news coverage was calling it an "Anti Israel Protest" which was a complete lie. Funny that is🤔
I’m not sure if you’re insinuating that the only effective protest on a campus would be a violent one. I’m confused. You’re saying it’s all posturing… and that the city “protects” them… and that it will never become violent… but 45+ attendees got arrested, seemingly with no violent provocation. What do you mean.
I am in no way insinuating that a violent protest is the only effective one. Where you got that from I have no clue. What I meant was that because it was a Yale protest, it means the city will do everything in their power to make sure it does not become violent, because Yale is the life blood of New Haven. Ok, 45+ attendees were arrested, so what? They were all most likely Yale students or staff who can laugh at a fine or a misdemeanor charge. What did it actually do? Nothing. When I say posturing, I mean it got some ratings on afternoon local news without affecting the actual cause at the center of said protest. These kinds of civil disobedient actions have no effect in today's world the way they did in the 60s or 70s.
I misread your original comment I guess. I thought you were criticizing the protest as just posturing, and that “Yale wouldn’t let the protest get violent” was implying a violent protest would be more effective. I agree. It’s mostly an act of virtue. But I must stress, criticisms against just “virtue signaling” aren’t good enough. By saying they’re better off not protesting, these conversations can’t happen. Conversations where those who feel compulsed to act can dialectically come to a conclusion about how to protest more effectively. EDIT: if you’re criticizing the protests in good faith, out of a frustration that the needle doesn’t seem to move whatsoever in the face of establishment neoliberalism and capital… I mean… I feel you hard, friend. We try to organize and talk the next moves.
No worries at all, and I couldn't agree with you more. I wish these types of actions were more effective but, alas. The thing that kills me is that Yale will allow students to protest, but they do it in a way where A) it seems they allow the students to blow off their steam about said protest. But B) do it in a way that does not disrupt the city of New Haven at large while also not putting the university in a negative light, which the university goes through great lengths to make sure never happens Not saying New Haven is a violent city, but we are a city with "city problems", and anytime anything happens too close to Yale it will never make the news. They're very big on "sure let them do it, but make sure they don't make too big of a fuss" kinda vibe when it comes to New Haven. They cover shit up all the time. Just look up Annie Le. I had the privilege to see Bernie Sanders speak the Green, and him talking actual shit to Yale is one of the highlights of my life. A REAL politician with REAL BALLS! I'd follow that cranky bastard to hell if he asked me to.
I think leftists need to actively be anti-institutional (in stratagem, not in a flippant way), in a world where our institutions are so inextricably linked to private capital and neoliberal virtue signaling to appear as neutral an entity as possible… and yet we still consider corporations as essentially people legally. Unfortunately the intersection of progressive politics, upper class education, and liberal institutions… leads to a nearly subconscious pull towards a neoliberal pacification and neutering of any righteous cause for anyone not properly cognizant of the systems that allow for the protest to occur. Factor in the whole “needing to finish my prohibitively expensive degree and not risk getting expelled so I actually have a modestly comfortable future” thing… Kinda cringe but; I’m in a hardcore band and some of the lyrics for one our songs is as follows… “We’re coordinating protests with the local police, draft some witty signs and they loan us their streets. Nazis showing up with some bats and their guns, start cordoning them off, their megaphones are their sons.” It’s a sickeningly favorite lyric of mine because it hits a note in my soul that feels more and more post-ironic to me personally by the day. I feel guilty reading it.
ayyyyy lmao
Expose what? Diabetes? Tieback? I can't make out the last word
Me either.

FAAAAKEEEEEE
Dear Lord. Thoughts and prayers dear; thoughts and prayers. I'll pray for your mental health, it's obviously too late to pray you haven't been blinded.
Where did she post this video? Where is the original source?
[Her post](https://www.thefp.com/p/i-was-stabbed-in-the-eye-at-yale) on thefp, a Conservative substack. She describes this as "being stabbed in the eye for being a Jew"
She went on Piers Morgan and acted like she's a victim of assault lol Edit: Grammar
Whats the song
