King's College: Jewish Student Forced to Hide in Room As Mob Tries to Break Through Door

A Jewish student at King’s College in London was forced to lock himself in a room on campus to protect himself from an anti-Israel mob that was attempting to force its way through the door to get at him, Jewish media reported.

The student who was attacked had organized a conflict resolution event titled “From Conflict to Connection: Israelis and Iranians in Dialogue.”

During the event, when Iranian researcher Faezeh Alavi was speaking, an anti-Israel activist stood up and interrupted her, demanding that she explain how she could sit next to an Israeli person given the war in Gaza.

The mob of anti-Israel protesters that had gathered then began to chant "Free Palestine." Alavi, who left Iran at the age of 25 partly due to the regime's oppressive policies, had to be ushered out of the room by security. 

The event organizer summoned security and advised her to leave for her safety. His own safety remained at risk, however. He fled into a nearby chaplaincy room and locked the door. About five of the protesters followed and began banging on the door, attempting to get in. 

“I felt extremely unsafe. I was just distressed. I went into the room to get away from it all, but when I saw them trying to get in, I went into another room inside that room, to hide. That's when I knew that something was going to happen and there was malicious intent," he added. (INN/VFI News)

“Lord, we pray for the protection of Jewish students worldwide. We ask that no Jewish student will feel unsafe on campus and that all anti-Israel and antisemites will be driven away. We thank you for protecting the Jewish student at King’s College and we ask for more miracles like that for all Jewish students who are facing adversity. In Yeshua’s name we pray, amen”.
