Stanford Jewish students on taking photo of man with Hamas headband on campus: 'We were just in shock'

A viral image of a man on the Stanford University campus wearing a headband that looks similar to the one worn by Hamas terrorist fighters was taken by two Jewish students concerned the school has not cracked down enough on antisemitic behavior.

The two friends, who wished to remain anonymous for safety reasons, said they were walking near White Plaza, the center of the northern California campus where anti-Israel protesters have set up an encampment, on Friday when they spotted someone sitting down at a picnic table.

After moving closer to the unidentified person, they realized the headband he was wearing was the same type worn by members of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas.

We were just in shock that somebody could be like that in the middle of our campus," one of the students told Fox News Digital. "I only went up to take the photo because I was there with my friend.

"We thought about going up to him and saying something, but then we figured it wasn't worth it and, if anything, it might just be dangerous."

The image of the man sitting at the table wearing the green headband with Arabic writing and a face covering quickly made the rounds on social media, catching the attention of university administrators.

"We have received many expressions of concern about a photo circulating on social media of an individual on White Plaza who appeared to be wearing a green headband similar to those worn by members of Hamas," the school said in a statement Wednesday. "

We find this deeply disturbing, as Hamas is designated a terrorist organization by the United States government. We have not been able to identify the individual but have forwarded the photo to the FBI."

Viet Cong flags were quite prominent on US campuses in the 60s and 70s.

You wear the uniform of the enemy then you are the enemy. If one sees enemy troops marching in their town can they not dispatch them? I would certainly think that if Americans during WWII saw uniformed Nazis they would shoot them without hesitation. Same should be done here. No regrets at all.

I’m shocked they didn’t tell all the young girls protesting they should wear them, before they get their pelvic broke by multiple rapes from their “leaders”.

I am waiting for the Jews to stop being saddened, shocked, appalled, disappointed, etc. etc.

It's time to go full Masada and get righteously PO'd at what's happening to them, mostly by Democrat Party supported activists. Why on earth can't they see that?

The Jewish student was shocked because he saw a Hamas head band on campus?

He needs to get out more.

PLO and Hamas operatives have been very active on both the Stanford and Berkeley campuses since at least the 1980s and have insinuated themselves with wealthy students who are now in influential positions in American politics, media , academia and corporate America - especially the Tech fields. Their base was Berkeley Campus and the Oakland Black Muslim groups , many of who had been active in the 1960s Black Panther Movement.

Not the least of these influential allies is non other than Stanford Alum and prominent Black Student Union leader, radical campus activist and Obama friend, ally , fellow community organizer, closet homosexual activist and general world class wanker the Honorable Senator Cory "Spartacus" Booker

“Stanford Jewish students on taking photo of man with Hamas headband on campus: ‘We were just in shock’”

Perhaps instead of HATING Netanyahu and absolutely discounting his claims regarding Hamas, this Jewish bunch would try either LISTENING to Netanyahu or doing their own research on Hamas (would get the same answer), and then NOT be ‘shocked’ or surprised to learn that they really are HATED.

Such logos ought to be treated with same open contempt and condemnation as flying a Nazi swastika. Don’t ban it. It could be considered speech.
Just point and laugh. Ridicule. Don’t have a discussion with them. They are hated-filled Arsholes. Don’t waste time with such. Just point and condemn — that is YOUR version of free speech!

Don’t give them a chance to practice their bullet-point screaming match. Ridicule and walk away. What they want is attention. Attention that they control. Give them none of that.
