In a video taken at the event—a conversation between Klein and Sarah Lawrence president Cristle [sic] Collins Judd—a keffiyeh-clad agitator berated Klein while a group of masked students held a banner denouncing the Jewish journalist as a “Nazi normalizer.” Judd sat silently throughout. The day before Klein arrived on campus, which happened to be Holocaust Remembrance Day, pro-Hamas activists decorated the campus with graffiti blasting Klein as a “Zionist pig” and “genocide denier.” They had even organized a faculty-sponsored counter-event to protest the platforming of a “liberal Zionist mouthpiece.” The student agitator accused Klein of enabling Israel’s so-called genocide in Gaza. The columnist, whose speaking fees typically run from $40,000 to $70,000, sought to assure the shrieking activist that he also despised Israel, which he said was tormenting Palestinians through “apartheid and subjugation.” The activist kept ranting about fascism, so Klein pleaded for his attention.
