Here in New York, a local real estate developer was arrested after driving his car into a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters who had gathered outside the home of a Columbia University trustee. The driver has been identified as Reuven Kahane. He is a cousin of the late extremist Jewish Rabbi Meir Kahane, who publicly advocated for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Meir Kahane served one term in Israel’s Knesset before he was convicted of acts of terrorism.
Meanwhile, in Arizona, a research scholar at Arizona State University named Jonathan Yudelman has been placed on leave after he was filmed harassing a woman in a hijab in Tempe.
