Momodou Taal, a PhD student at Cornell University in the state of New York, said students protesting Israel’s incursion in Gaza have received threats and been subjected to doxing, but received no protection from their school, Al Jazeera reports.

“We’ve had death threats. We’ve had — while we were praying Salat al-Jum’ah — we’ve had police videoing and take pictures of us… other students take pictures of us, dox[ing] us,” he told Al Jazeera. “We no longer have faith in the administration to be a place safe for Muslim students, for Arab students, for Palestinian students and by and large those students of colour and pro-Palestinian students.”

Taal was among four students Cornell “temporarily suspended” for setting up an encampment on the university’s campus. He said some of the consequences of that move is that he “might have to repeat a semester… and graduate later than expected”. That’s “quite a serious thing”, he added.
