Islamophobic Remarks :
Asaf Ferber and a companion made an appearance as demonstrators during a pro-Palestine event in October 2023 at the UC Irvine campus. Multiple films of them harassing students were recorded by the SJP branch at UC Irvine. One of the tapes showed one of them calling on students to “go back to Gaza where you will be raped” (by Asaf Ferber’s friend). Asaf himself can be heard telling the protesters to “go back to Gaza” and labeling them “terrorists”.
