Instead of Targeting Antisemitism, Columbia Targets Those Criticizing It
Columbia University is facing more issues.
Recently, Business School prof Shai Davidai has been banned from campus for allegedly harassing students on Oct. 7, the anniversary of Hamas’ terror attack.
It appears that the real issue is Davidai confronting the campus Jew-haters during their protests.
Despite this, no action has been taken against the keffiyeh-clad students who flooded the campus that day chanting antisemitic remarks.
This incident follows the resignation of three deans who engaged in mocking text exchanges about antisemitism on campus.
Joseph Sorett, the dean of Columbia College, was involved in the group chat but remains in his position.
In other news, the Columbia University Apartheid Divest activists have retracted their apology for Khymani James, a Students for Justice in Palestine member who made threatening remarks about Zionists.
James later expressed regret during a disciplinary hearing, but has since stood by his comments with the support of CUAD members.
Despite this, they continue to romanticize the actions of Hamas on Oct. 7.
Additionally, Columbia has not expelled any of the individuals involved in the campus occupation of Hamilton Hall in April.
Instead, the school has chosen to silence Shai Davidai, sending a clear message to the campus community.
