Just left the anti-Israel protest at UMass Amherst. As I was leaving, two guys kept asking me my ethnicity. When I got into my car, I was approached by a group of the protesters demanding to know my address and phone number.

In the video, one student can be seen asking her for her contact information “for legal reasons,” while another student films her with her phone. She gives the student her name, to which the student replies that she will have her lawyers contact her. “Have a terrible night,” the student says before walking away.
Here’s footage of the end of it once I grabbed my phone from my bag. You can hear me responding that they cannot have my number. pic.twitter.com/A2XGurJ4ti
