Stanford TA Who Called For Biden’s Assassination Doxxes Students He Says Recorded Him

The Stanford University teaching assistant who was caught on tape calling for President Joe Biden’s assassination and praising Hamas is now naming and shaming the students he says recorded his remarks and reported him to the administration.

Hamza El Boudali, who in January told Jewish students in his computer science section that they would be treated "very well" by a Hamas caliphate, on Wednesday posted a thread on X with the names and headshots of students who "illegally recorded and doxxed" him "in clear violation" of Stanford’s code of conduct. It is not clear which provision of the code he is referencing.

El Boudali also claimed that he "got an offer to TA" the same class, CS 109, again the following quarter, after his incendiary comments went viral and sparked complaints from Jewish students who said he wouldn’t be able to grade them fairly.

A university spokesperson, Dee Mostofi, distanced the school from that claim, telling the Washington Free Beacon that, at present, El Boudali is "not serving as a TA." She declined to say whether he had received an offer to be one after his comments surfaced. The professors for CS 109, Jerry Cain and Chris Piech, did not respond to requests for comments.

The Free Beacon asked El Boudali in an email for confirmation that the school had offered him a teaching role the next quarter. He responded by posting the email on X and lambasting the Free Beacon as a "Zionist trash newspaper," adding in an email that "I don’t talk to trash journalists."

Those replies were of a piece with El Boudali’s incendiary comments about the Israel-Hamas war, which were first reported by the Free Beacon and then by the Atlantic. Asked how Jews would fare in a Hamas-controlled America, El Boudali replied: "Very well—just like the hostages." He also said that Hamas would be preferable to the current U.S. government, accused Biden of "mass murder," and called on a foreign military to assassinate him, remarks that were recorded in January when El Boudali approached a pro-Israel demonstration with a sign that read, "Ask Me About Jihad."

El Boudali said Wednesday that he had asked Stanford to investigate the students involved in the recording, but that the university declined to sanction them. "My takeaway from this is that I should be allowed to doxx them too," he wrote on X.

Mostofi, the Stanford spokeswoman, declined to comment on the investigation, saying, "We cannot discuss details of individual student or employment matters."

The comments from El Boudali, which prompted the university to move his office hours to Zoom, were one of several incidents that rocked the elite campus in the wake of Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attacks. The most high-profile episode came in January when masked protesters harassed Jewish students and a rabbi leaving a university forum on anti-Semitism, belting out anti-Semitic chants as they followed and confronted them.

"Go back to Brooklyn," one protester declared. Others promised the destruction of Israel, chanted "intifada revolution" at the rabbi, and surrounded a Jewish student while chanting, "The IDF killed your hostages."

In a preview of how universities would respond to the encampments that have since enveloped them, Stanford claimed that the chaos was largely due to outside agitators.

"They likely came from outside our community," Mostofi said at the time.

Other controversies have been sparked by professors within that community. Ameer Loggins, a former Stanford lecturer, lost his job in March after he allegedly made Jewish students stand in the corner and told them "this is what Israel does to the Palestinians." Loggins has since claimed the exercise was mischaracterized and is suing the school for defamation.

More recently, a masked individual at Stanford’s pro-Palestinian encampment was spotted wearing a Hamas headband. The university announced on Tuesday that it had forwarded a photo of the individual to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
