Last week, an Oct. 7 memorial hosted at Pomona College by Claremont Hillel featuring Yoni Viloga, a survivor of the attacks, was disrupted by protestors. Afterwards, an anonymous statement defending the disruption was sent to multiple campus newspapers, referring to Viloga as “Satan” and “the spawn of a genocidal lineage,” and to Zionism as a “death cult that must be dealt with accordingly.”


“We know Pomona. Time and again, they have demonstrated their most important ‘core value’ is the endorsement and defense of genocide… [they] will go to any length to despicably defend genocide and paint Black and brown bodies who resist as violent,” reads the statement. “Therefore, it came as no surprise when they hosted a genocidal maniac, Yoni Viloga, to speak for a ‘memorial’ of the casualties of Al Aqsa Flood.” Al Aqsa Flood is the Hamas codename for the Oct. 7 attacks.


Viloga’s kibbutz was overrun by Hamas militants on Oct. 7. He and his family brought members of the community into their home, protecting 16 people in their bomb shelter. When they were able to leave, Viloga and his family filled four cars with people and fled from the village, passing numerous bodies as they drove to safety.


Immediately after Viloga finished speaking at Hillel’s Oct. 7 memorial, four masked and keffiyeh-wearing protestors burst into the room, shouting “Zionists not welcome here” and yelling at attendees that they were “all complicit in genocide.” The disruptors were eventually forced out of the room by faculty members and attendees of the event. The memorial was hosted on Oct. 15, the Hebrew-calendar anniversary of the attacks, and after the recent ceasefire agreement was approved by Hamas and Israel.
