"Watch the Real Holocaust": Religion Professor Accused After Anonymous Anti-Semitic Posts Are Exposed

Guangtian Lee, a religion professor at Haverford College, faces a federal indictment over claims of an anti-Semitic cyberattack against a Jewish colleague.

College professor charged after anti-Semitic crimes against colleague

Haverford College professor Guangtianha was charged by authorities after several anti-Semitic threats he made against a Jewish colleague were revealed.

An associate professor at Haverford College is facing federal cyberstalking charges after a months-long online campaign of anti-Semitic intimidation against a Jewish colleague and his family. The messages prosecutors say the professor sent included anti-Semitic language and threats.

Guangtianha, associate professor of religion at Haverford College, was arrested on October 6. The indictment makes a series of serious allegations. According to a federal indictment, Haa conducted an alleged campaign of intimidation from October 9, 2025, to May 20, 2026, using anonymous X accounts to send threatening messages and share images of his Jewish colleague's mailbox.

"Everything I heard from the Guangtians, the accused here, was directed at the Zionists," said Leventhal-Marcus. What he revealed in his anonymous postings to another faculty member was 95% Jew-hatred and death threats against Jews and slurs against Jews.

Leventhal-Marcus said the messages were an example of the rhetoric raised by Jews at Haverford that the word "Zionist" was being used as a "code word for Jews."

According to the indictment, on October 9, 2025, Haa allegedly used the X account "America1st33509" when replying to the victim's X posts with a picture of the victim's own mailbox and an eye emoji.

Then, in the winter of 2026 — the indictment says it happened "in or about January 2026, to or about February 2026" — Haa allegedly used the "America1stLM" account to send several "threatening and harassing messages." The "LM" in usernames likely refers to Lower Merion Township, a Jewish settlement in Pennsylvania near the Haverford College campus.

Using the "America1stLM" handle, Haa is said to have sent the victim messages such as "Jew, get the f--- out of my country," "Jew pig, get the f--- down from Merion," "If Jews are so special, they should be put in special camps and given special treatment," and "LM Jews remember you've had too much time these days. Easy going America." they take back, bloodthirsty devils.

A Jewish student sued a New York school on Oct. 7 for "relentless anti-Semitic harassment."

The indictment states that the victim and his family took "security measures" in response to these messages. However, this did not stop the alleged harassment. Prosecutors allege Haa continued the harassment and mocked the security measures in a February 27, 2026 post that read: "@[Victim 1] The goyim are awake, Jew. Run. Run away. Bleaching the house on Google Maps and installing a security camera next to your mailbox won't help."

Months later, on April 15, 2026, Haa, using the handle "Im_GoyimDL," demanded in a post that the victim, whom he referred to as a "fat Jew," leave Lower Merion Township. According to the indictment, about a minute after that post, Haa wrote: “@[Victim 1] Jew, take care of your [real name of victim 1's minor son.] There should be a sign.

According to the indictment, Ha sent other messages in April and May 2026, including posts that contained the victim's home address.

The indictment also describes messages from that period that included signs of Nazi support and threats citing the Holocaust.

In April 2026, Haa tagged the victim and wrote, “It's okay to hate Jews. The moment we stopped hating, rooting out and expelling the Jews, we started to decline. The Babylonians knew, the Romans knew, the Spanish knew. American Jews have been exposed. F--- Anti-Zionism. HH.” The indictment notes that “HH” is a common abbreviation for “Heil Hitler.”

The following month, Ha posted, "@[victim 1] kill the jewish cockroaches. destroy the jewish state. [victim 1], you will have nowhere to go. your family has no future in the US. give it another 10 years and you will see a true holocaust."

Ha, according to the indictment, "repeatedly used virtual private networks to obfuscate his Internet Protocol address and enable tracing of the source of messages." A virtual private network, often referred to as a VPN, can help mask a person's Internet Protocol (IP) address and hide a user's location. Despite efforts to conceal his identity, federal authorities were able to trace the messages to Ha.

According to an Oct. 13 announcement from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Haa was ordered held in federal custody pending trial after Tuesday's hearing.

Haverford College declined to comment further on the situation. However, the college president released a statement on the day of the arrests.

"I am deeply troubled by these allegations and want to make clear that any form of harassment or discrimination based on identity is unacceptable, contrary to our values, and has no place at Haverford," said Haverford College President Wendy Raymond in a statement.

He added: Professors who were on vacation and did not teach in the current academic year, while the criminal process is proceeding, were denied administrative leave and exclusion from the university.

In the statement, Raymond confirmed that a Haverford College representative had been in contact with the alleged victims. He also thanked the FBI, Campus Safety and the Haverford Police Department.

"I am heartbroken and outraged at the possibility that one person exists," Raymond wrote.

Leventhal-Marcus noted that while political speech about the Middle East is protected under academic freedom, harassment and intimidation cross a clear legal line.

While the federal indictment focuses on anonymous threats, the social media posts were already at the center of a federal civil rights lawsuit against the college. The Deborah Project cited several of the posts in a 2024 lawsuit filed against Haverford on behalf of Jewish students.

In one post, Ha appears to threaten people in his "small world" — which the lawsuit refers to Haverford — for keeping quiet about the situation in Gaza.

I will forever remember those in my small world who remain silent against this genocide or even implicitly support it, on whatever pretext they can convince themselves, and I will never forgive them. I know their names and I know their faces. never forgive No reconciliation," Ha wrote.

In another public post, Ha, an associate professor of religion, wrote: "Zionism is basically a modern racist ideology that has almost nothing to do with Judaism as an ancient religion."

"He deserves no credit, but surely students and others who read such a statement from a professor of religion will give it to him," Leventhal-Marcus said of the statement in which he tried to separate Zionism from Judaism.

Leventhal-Marcus expressed hope that Ha's indictment will force not only Haverford College, but educational institutions across the country to recognize the dangerous reality of online anti-Semitic harassment.
