October 7 survivor slams Columbia University protestors for 'supporting a terrorist regime' and says they 'wouldn't last a day' under Hamas rule

An October 7 survivor has slammed protestors at Columbia University and other colleges for 'supporting a terrorist regime' stating they 'wouldn't last a day' under Hamas rule.

Natalie Sanandaji, 28, narrowly escaped with her life after the group stormed the Nova music festival last year.

She said she is astonished to see protesters who 'obviously know nothing about what is going on' demonstrating at campuses across the U.S.

Sanandaji, who is Jewish and of Iranian descent, says the war 'touches on who I am as a human being' as she blasted 'uninformed' students.

'Is people's hatred of Jews so great that they are in support of terrorist organizations? It's insane, scary, sad, it's ridiculous and there is no legitimacy in these protests,' Sanandaji said.

At George Washington University, a protestor sparked outrage after being photographed carrying a sign calling for 'the final solution'

'These people would not last a day under the terror organizations they support. Most would be killed for not covering their hair, or being gay. These are not things these terrorists tolerate.'

She claimed many of the protesters are not focused on calling for an end to the war, stating if it was just about this she would 'go out and join them.'

Encampments have sprung up across universities in recent weeks as students demand their institutions divest from companies with financial interests in Israel or its war against Hamas.

Many are calling for a ceasefire in Israel's bombing campaign, which has so far killed more than 34,000 Palestinians. 

But for Sanandaji, the horrors of October 7 when Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis and took hundreds more hostage are still irrevocably etched in her mind.

Her turmoil has been made worse by anti-Semites targeting her with hundreds of threatening texts and phone calls.

The New Yorker believes she was doxxed in an attempt to prevent her from speaking out about her experience surviving the tragedy.

'These poor [Jewish] students are being harassed on campus every day and I am being harassed with these messages. I do fear for my life, I don't know if I go out in public if someone is going to attack me,' Sanandaji said.

'I feel like people are trying to delegitimize my experience and dehumanize what happened to us [on October 7]. They try to twist it into something bad.

'I don't have a problem with Palestinians, I support Palestinians and I support them having a better life free from these terrorist organizations.'  

Sanandaji revealed that her trolling ordeal began around two months ago with messages threatening her life.

'I was getting hundreds of spam messages a day saying, "b*****d Israel, we will kill you," pictures of guns and knives and random street corners saying they know where I live,' she explained.

She also reported that her Instagram account has been shadow banned after her tormentors began reporting her content as dangerous.

Eventually, Sanandaji learned her details had been shared in an anti-Semitic group on messaging app Telegram, with a note branding her 'dangerous' and encouraging people to harass and report her.

'It is ironic because I was almost killed by a dangerous organization, I was attacked by an extremist organization.

'They are trying to silence me so that my voice is not heard.

'It makes me sad honestly that people can be so brainwashed that people think it is acceptable to attack someone who has already been through so much, where is your humanity? What lengths will they go to?'
