  "account": "Guangtian Ha, a professor at Haverford College, was arrested and charged with cyberstalking and threatening a Jewish individual over a period of several months, according to a federal indictment. The 50 messages Ha allegedly sent between October 2025 and May 2026 included profane and antisemitic remarks such as \"Jew, get the f--k out of my country,\" and he posted his victim's home address and family information online.\n\nHaverford College President Wendy Raymond announced Ha's placement on administrative leave and barred him from campus during the legal proceedings. She expressed her distress, stating that any form of harassment or discrimination based on identity is unacceptable and has no place at the institution. Raymond vowed to reach out to those targeted by the \"heinous online attacks,\" all of which were deemed antisemitic by her office.\n\nHa reportedly communicated with the victim through multiple X accounts, making threats to \"run,\" \"flee,\" and \"leave\" the victim's home, as well as targeting the victim's family and son by name. The indictment alleges that Ha also posted an image of the victim's home mailbox, which displayed their address. Following the victim's attempt to secure their property, Ha allegedly wrote, \"The goyim have woken up, jew. Run. Flee. Leave.\"\n\nHa had previously been named in a 2024 antisemitism lawsuit against Haverford College, which the school settled in August. The lawsuit claimed that students and faculty exhibited \"severe and pervasive hostility toward Jewish students\" after the Hamas attacks on Israel in October 2023. Ha allegedly wrote posts attacking Jews who supported Israel, including one where he vowed never to forgive those who were \"silent on this genocide\" or tacitly supported it. As part of the settlement, Haverford pledged to address discrimination or harassment against Jewish, Israeli, or Zionist students, faculty, or staff.",
