A Jewish Columbia University student was told to 'kill yourself' and kicked in the stomach during an anti-Israel protest at the Ivy League university.

A Jewish Columbia University student was told to 'kill yourself' and repeatedly kicked in the stomach during an anti-Israel protest on the New York City campus. Elisha 'Lishi' Baker, 21, told the New York Post that the antisemitic comments came after his shirt was scorched by fire. He said that he felt that the protesters did not 'see my humanity.' 'I knew the anti-American sentiment was rampant ,' Baker told the outlet Wednesday.

Tarek Bazrouk, 19, was arrested on assault charges for 'causing redness and pain' to Baker’s abdomen, the NYPD said. On Monday, Lederer said that he attended an anti-Israel rally in New York City with an American flag alongside four others. Lederer, alongside his four friends, did not wear anything to indicate they were Jewish – but they held American flags. 'Burn it again, burn it again,' Lederer recalled protesters chanting, the New York Post reported.

officers noted that while many of the protesters were peaceful and didn't resist arrest. However, around 500 students left their classrooms and told officers they were the 'KKK,' 'baby killers' and to 'go kill ourselves,' a police official said. Fox News Digital's Stephen Sorace and Louis Casiano contributed to this report.
