A Jewish student at UCLA who was blocked from going to class by masked pro-Palestinian protesters said Tuesday that his incident was just the latest in the “pro-Hamas” takeover of universities across America.

“I take the same path to class every single day, and when I got there, it was blocked off by these students. Not a security guard, but by these students,” Eli Tsives told the crew of Fox & Friends. “I showed them my ID, and I said, ‘This is the way I enter to class. Please let me in.'”

The masked protesters, most of whom appeared to be women, refused to let Tsives pass, but he did not try to force his way through, according to viral footage of the incident posted to social media.

“We are for peace, and we will never barge through because we know that we’re better than them in that sense,” he said. “Could I have? Absolutely. But I would rather have documented that so we can show the world exactly what is going on in universities in the United States.”

The “pro-Hamas” sentiment of these encampments, such as the one that blocked him from going to class, is allowing them to stay open, according to Tsives.

“Say there was a KKK encampment happening,” he said. “It would have been shut down immediately, and I think this really shows what’s going on here at colleges and universities in the United States, that we are allowing these students to spread their hatred, their bigotry, and their antisemitism.”

These “pro-Hamas” student protesters know what happened on Oct. 7, and they continue “to say what they say,” according to Tsives.

“We go to the No. 1 public school in the world. These people are smart,” he said. “They are educated. They know what they’re saying. They know what an intifada is. They want an intifada. They want to see the mass genocide of Jews.”
