A firsthand account from activist Taryn Thomas on how seeing the reality of October 7 for herself exposed the deception at the heart of the antizionist movement.
What really happened inside the elite university antizionist encampments?
When student Taryn Thomas joined the high-profile anti-Israel student encampment at Stanford following October 7th, she expected a space dedicated to human rights, justice and critical thinking. Instead, she found a highly insular culture shaped by social media algorithms, peer pressure, and intense linguistic policing, where selective empathy was the norm and dissent meant immediate social exile.
In this episode, Taryn sits down with FAA co-founder Freya Papworth to share an insider’s look at the normalisation of antisemitism that defined her campus experience after October 7th.
