Columbia protestor had direct link to Hamas’ deadly al-Qassam Brigades militant group: DOJ
- Tarek Bazrouk, a 20-year-old man from New York City, has been federally indicted on three hate crime counts related to attacks on Jewish individuals in 2024 and 2025 near Columbia University and other locations in Manhattan.
- Bazrouk's alleged involvement follows a September-October 2024 trip to the West Bank and Jordan, where prosecutors suggest he connected with Hamas’ al-Qassam Brigades militant group, raising questions about his actions abroad.
- Federal court documents reveal Bazrouk sent violent antisemitic messages, wore symbols linked to Hamas, and maintained ties to a private chat group receiving updates from Hamas’ spokesperson Abu Obeida.
- U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton described Bazrouk as a persistent threat targeting Jews, with prosecutors urging denial of bail citing his history of violent threats, weapons access, and alleged terror support.
- Bazrouk remains in federal custody awaiting trial, and his case exemplifies a broader concern over antisemitic violence linked to terrorist sympathizers on U.S. Campuses, prompting calls for serious national security measures.

So there has to be a reckoning within the Democratic Party as to what they stand for,” he says.
