‘See a true Holocaust’: Religion professor indicted after anonymous antisemitic posts exposed
A Haverford College associate professor has been indicted on a federal cyberstalking charge over an alleged months-long campaign of antisemitic threats against a Jewish colleague and his family. Prosecutors say Guangtian Ha used anonymous X accounts to target the colleague, share images of his home and post threats, including a reference to the Holocaust.
The indictment says the alleged activity ran from 9 October 2025 to 20 May 2026, and that the colleague’s family took security precautions. It describes posts containing the family’s home address, references to the colleague’s minor son, and a pro-Nazi sign-off. Ha was arrested on 6 October; the allegations have not been proven in court.

Haverford College is a private university in Pennsylvania, in the United States. The case involves an associate professor of religion and a Jewish colleague; prosecutors allege that anonymous social media accounts were used to threaten the colleague and his family.
Cyberstalking is a crime involving repeated use of electronic communications to harass or threaten someone. The federal charge is an allegation, and the professor is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
The case matters because threats that reveal personal details can put families’ safety at risk, while antisemitic abuse targets people because they are Jewish. It also raises questions about how online threats are investigated and addressed.
