In the wake of the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, a group of Jewish students at Western University infiltrated two private group chats, belonging to Palestinian students and their allies in the London, Ont., community.
The students’ discoveries shine a light on what some opponents of Israel are saying to one another when they think no one’s watching. What they found in the chat histories is unsettling: a stream of Hitler memes, pro-Hamas videos and antisemitic cartoons. More alarming is the advice group chat members give each other on escaping detection. There are even tips on bringing knives to peaceful protests.
National Post has reviewed the chat histories supplied by the Jewish students. The Post has granted their request for anonymity, given the uptick of violence toward Jews on campuses
