Zionism is the radical belief that Jews are a people too.

I am an Israeli professor at @Columbia. This student - a leader in the pro-Hamas movement on campus - has called for me and my fellow Israelis to die. They should be expelled. The students standing by them should also be expelled. Not suspended. Expelled.

Earlier today, @Columbia University refused to let me onto campus. Why? Because they cannot protect my safety as a Jewish professor. This is 1938.

Like Mahmoud Khalil, I too am on a green card. Unlike Khalil, I don’t support U.S.-designated terrorist organizations, take over university buildings, and call for the genocide of anyone. He wasn’t arrested for speaking up. He was arrested for breaking the conditions of his stay here.

I've seen and shared many disturbing videos over the past six months, but I've never seen anything like this. These were the sights today in New York City. Not in Rafah. Not in Kabul. In New York City. This is domestic terrorism. (a thread)

Hundreds of Jewish students at @Columbia just published one of the most incredible student letters I have ever read. It's not only magnificently written, but it also clearly articulates their experiences on campus for the past six months. Their letter tells the story of what's it like being a Jewish student right now better than any professor like myself could ever do. Please take 4-5 minutes to read their letter. Give Jewish students a voice. docs.google.com/document/u/1…

I am an assistant professor at Columbia Business School. I am a father, a husband, an uncle, and a son. I am a forty-year-old man, and last week I found myself crying in front of a group of complete strangers.

I want to send a public message to Mr. Cas Holloway, the COO of @Columbia University: Cas, you're are really great guy. I know it. I saw it in your eyes today. This is why know that, deep-down, you know I'm right. You may not like my style, but I know you agree with almost everything that I have been saying. I just know it. I am still trying to understand how you could stand just stand there, look me in the eyes, and not let me in to campus. How could you keep a straight face when you capitulated to the pro-Hamas mob yet refused entry to the most vocal voice for the Jewish and Israeli students, staff, and faculty at Columbia. I think I know how. You were just doing your job. You were just doing your job when you denied a Jewish professor access to campus (by the way, all I wanted to do was to read the names of the 133 hostages, thanks for asking). You were just doing your job when you sided with those that support Hamas. You were just doing your job when you couldn't say for a full minute whether Hamas is a terrorist organization. (remember that meeting? It's all recorded. You were just doing your job). Look, I get it. You're scared. You are worried about how the pro-Hamas extremists (and the brainwashed cult they've amassed) will react if you try to disperse them. But that's exactly how terrorism works. It's an ideology that forces you to act in certain ways through explicit and implicit threats. Hamas doesn't need to bomb all the buses in Israel for me to still be scared of riding a bus in Tel Aviv. It's the same at Columbia. At this point, the pro-Hamas mob at Columbia has broken basically every possible rule of the university (and possibly multiple State and Federal laws). The NYPD has stated that they are ready to act, if President Shafik lets them in. And you're the person who needs to make that call. That is damn scary. But being scared is not an excuse for not doing the right thing. Being scared is not an excuse for choosing the pro-Hamas mob and their violent chants over the Jewish professor who believes in co-existence. The problem is that you are not alone. There are thousands of administrators like you all over U.S. campuses who are also scared. Like you, they want to stay out of it. Like you, they are just doing their jobs. And there were millions of Germans like you in the 1930s. Good Germans, upstanding Germans, who were just doing their jobs. Who do you think ran the universities of Berlin and Munich and Heidelberg and Frankfurt in the 1930s? Who helped the Hitler Youth check out books by Jewish authors to burn outside of campus? Administrators. Just like you. Cas, what I am trying to say is learn from history. Now is not the time to just "do your job". The entire nation is looking at you. You have the opportunity to show your kids, show your family, that when the time came, you stood up for what's right. Do the right thing: 1. Disperse the illegal encampment 2. Expel the radical extremists who are brainwashing this pro-Hamas mob (and start enforcing the suspension of those leaders who are miraculously ack on campus) 3. Dismantle all of the students organizations in CUAD (the coalition behind all the antisemitism and calls for terrorism on campus) and suspend all their leaders. 4. Deal with your pro-Hamas faculty. Do something about them. Seriously. 5. Restore my right to be Jewish in public wherever I want to be. I have every right to be on campus. Don't bow to those who cheer on Hamas. Don't just "do your job". (btw - If they won't let you do this, quit. Show the world what you stand for. Be a hero. I know it's scary, but I promise - if you do the right thing, I will have your back. It's never personal for me. Never has been, never will be.)

To all the journalists: I promise, I will try to get back to each and every one of you. In the meantime, I want you to consider this: To the best of my knowledge, the last time that a professor was denied access to their own university for being Jewish was Nazi Germany.

To all the journalists who are covering what's happening at @Columbia. I got a tip that the administration is negotiating with the leaders of the pro-terror organization. The same organization whose members called Hamas to kill Jewish students. If this is true, this is huge. Columbia is negotiating with terrorists. Journalists - please follow up on this

Just got invited to appear on @piersmorgan. Here is my response.

This what's happening at @Columbia right now. I know it's confusing, so let me spell it out for you: (a) Terrorism is an ideology. (b) They are openly supporting terror. (c) They are terrorists. Terrorists have taken over Columbia University. The government needs to take over @Columbia. This is important. Repost if you agree. (videos below)

Sinwar is reportedly dead. My condolences to Joseph Massad, Katherin Franke, Rashid Khalidi, Susan Bernofsky, Joseph Howley, and all the other Hamas-supporting professors at @Columbia.

As you see everything unfolding at @Columbia and other U.S. campuses, I want you to remember one thing: This is not just about Israel. This is about democracy and Western values. Yesterday, a group of American students who are U.S. vets stood up against the pro-Islamic Jihad illegal encampment on campus. I was told by one of them that he "can't believe that he was deployed to fight terrorists in Afghanistan yet the administration is letting them right on to Columbia's campus" Thank you, @SNahins and the rest of the guys, for having our back!

Many people are wondering about what’s happening on U.S. campuses. While I can’t speak about all other college campuses, I can definitely give you an insider’s view about @Columbia University. (this thread may be a bit long, but trust me: it's worth it)

Yet again, @Columbia failed to follow through on its promise to protect its Jewish and Israelis students. To all the journalists reaching out for my comment on the matter, here it is: Minouche Shafik, Cas Holloway, Claire Shipman, and David Greenwald will go down in history as the four individuals who single-handedly ruined 270 years of impeccable academic reputation in less than 7 months. They are not leaders. They are cowards who lack a moral backbone. They should be ashamed of themselves. Their children should be ashamed of them. Their friends and family should be ashamed of them. Any decent person who believes that terrorism is wrong should be ashamed of them. Hamas will likely lose the battle of Gaza, but it has won the battle of @Columbia.

.@Columbia University capitulated today to Hamas supporters. (a long thread with videos) (tldr; it's a shit show)

I just got an email from an Israeli student at @Columbia. Don't listen to me. Listen to them: "Dear Shai, I am writing to you as a concerned Israeli student at Columbia University, along with 133 fellow Israeli students. On April 23rd at 8:00 AM, we addressed a letter to President Shafik, Co-Chair Shipman, and Co-Chair Greenwald, expressing our fears about our safety on campus and the critical need for immediate action. I have attached the letter for your reference. We are reaching out because we believe that our concerns are being neglected by the university administration, and we recognize the significant role that the media is playing in these recent events. We fear further escalation of violence on campus and want to ensure that our voices are heard and that preventive measures are taken to safeguard all students. We believe that increased media attention can help bring about the necessary changes and hold the university accountable for ensuring a safe environment for everyone. We request that when posting the letter it is done anonymously, as we currently fear for our personal safety."

BOOM. (Please help me spread this. @Columbia tried to smear my name. I wouldn’t let them. Today, they finally admitted that I hadn’t done anything wrong.)

To be fair, I called them "useful idiots". You might want to look up the term.

Hey @Columbia, Are you OK with a pro-terror student organization inviting a Hamas-supporting imam that's telling students to "take out" one of your Jewish professors? A thread with damning videos.

This is happening at @Columbia right now. A pro-Hamas protestor calling on the Al-Qasam brigade (the military wing of Hamas) to kill Jewish students. If you are not enraged by this, you can GO FUCK YOURSELF.

It doesn't matter if you're Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, or an Atheist. It doesn't matter if you're a liberal or a conservative. It doesn't matter if you support Biden or Trump. If you are an American, this should trouble you. This is a threat to America.

Dear journalists, Not sure if you're interested in tips at this point, but just so you know: One of the main radical leaders of the illegal pro-Hamas encampment at @Columbia was suspended from campus 4 weeks ago for bringing in a terrorist for a "Resistance 101" teach-in. The suspension was never enforced. This leader's mom is Elizabeth Daughtrey, an officer at the @StateDept. We've got a big problem in the U.S., and the watchdogs have been asleep.

It’s called consequences, Nardeen. Welcome to adulthood.

Protestors waving the yellow and green Hezbollah flag. Hezbollah is an Iranian-backed foreign terrorist organization based in Lebanon. And now in New York City.

Mahmoud Khalil missed his son’s birth because he prioritized his support of terrorism over his family.

Protestor calling "Death to America." This is domestic terrorism.

If you or someone you know didn't get into an "elite" college or university in the United States, now you know who they did let in. These are not our nation's brightest. (btw - if you're wondering why we don't have more videos like these, it's because the leaders of the illegal encampment are not letting protestors speak with the media. Seriously. Watch the clip in the first comment)

This man was found guilty for PROVIDING MATERIAL SUPPORT to the terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad. His son-in-law (a Professor of Islamic Studies at @Georgetown) has said that rape and slavery can be excused and justified. His wife has been let into the illegal pro-Hamas encampment. The wife of a terrorist can go on @Columbia's campus, but I am barred from entering. Why would anyone send their kids to this university? (btw - it's not just the administration's fault. It's also the fault of all the professors, including many of my very own colleagues at @Columbia_Biz , who are looking the other way. Is this who you want educating your children?)

Today we learned that @NYCMayor won't send in the NYPD into @Columbia and @GovKathyHochul won't send in the National Guard even when terrorists take over a campus building and take a facility worker hostage. As I've been saying: pay attention now, and pay back during their next campaigns.

These are the people who are responsible for what's happening at @Columbia right now: 1. Minouche Shafik, President of the university 2. Gerry Rosberg, Senior Vice President 3. Cas Holloway, COO 4. Claire Shipman, co-chair of the Trustees 5. David Greenwald, co-chair of the Trustees 6. Felice Rosan, General Counsel of the university

A new low for the U.S. Congress. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar visits her daughter in the illegal pro-Hamas encampment at @Columbia, and does so using taxpayers’ money. Now you know why Shafik is negotiating with those openly celebrate Hamas and the Islamic Jihad. @EliseStefanik @virginiafoxx @SpeakerJohnson

It always starts with the Jews. It never ends with the Jews. America - why do you think that this time will be different?

I am surrounded by a dozen of useful idiots staging a Keffiyeh-clad sit-in at @Columbia's library. I am here for Hersh. I am here for all of us. Shana Tova everyone, including the keffiyeh clad, watermelon-yarmulka wearing student sitting across the table from me, reading an essay by terror-apologist Edward Said.

I just send this message to the leadership at @Columbia University. I am going to be on campus Monday morning and I am requesting police escort. Police escort for simply going to my own place of work.

I know the big news is the resignation (not firing) of @Columbia's president, but it's important to remember that antisemitism at the university runs deep and is perpetuated by indoctrinating professors. A thread, in which I name names:

Sylvie Tuder, a Hamas supporter at @UNC, is openly calling for the removal of Jewish institutions (Hillel) from campus. Her wealthy parents are Jeff and Regan Tuder, from Princeton, NJ. They pay for her to go to school and spew hate against Jews. (video by @SloanRachmuth)

A protestor wearing the Hamas green headband - the same one worn by Hamas terrorists during the October 7th Massacre. Hamas is an Iranian-backed foreign terrorist organization based in Gaza and the West Bank. And now in New York City.

An Jewish American student from @Columbia showed up to counterprotest. They burnt his U.S. flag, lit his shirt on fire, and shouted "Death to America" No arrests were made.

Just a reminder that yesterday, Jews were attacked in Los Angeles just for being Jews and virtually none of the self-proclaimed experts on "stigmatized social identities" in sociology and social psychology have said anything about it. There's a term for that. It's called hypocrisy. (In the 1930s, they would have been called "good Germans").

There's no other way to say it: @Ilhan Omar, @AOC, @CynthiaNixon, @RashidaTlaib, @JamaalBowmanNY and all the other people describing these protests as "peaceful" are lying to you. They are liars. Period. Watch this short video of the protests in and outside of @Columbia and follow @CampusJewHate for updates.

I seem to have pierced Piers Morgan’s ego. I publicly announced I would never go on his show. As I told his senior booker: I won’t appear on a show that platforms antisemites and spreads blood libels just to rack up likes, shares, and ad dollars. So what did Mr. Morgan — the self-described “rampant egomaniac” — do in response? He threw a tantrum and resorted to name-calling. No surprise there. Piers Morgan is a tabloid bully with 8.9 million followers. Outrage is his currency. Let’s be clear: @piersmorgan doesn’t shed light on antisemitism — he profits from it. For two years, he’s cashed in on the suffering of Israelis and the Jewish diaspora, giving megaphones to the worst Jew-haters alive. Worst yet, when strong Jews stand up to him, he shouts them down and promptly blocks them on social media. Piers Morgan is a bully. And the only way to deal with a bully is to stand up to them. That’s what Zionism is about: collective Jewish action against bullies. So here’s my message: Stop making money off our backs. I won’t go on @PiersUncensored — no matter what he says or promises. *** I nominate the following five accounts to take that #NeverPiers pledge :-) @EylonALevy @EYakoby @EitanChitayat @HamraAbraham @EndJewHatred

📢📢 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT📢📢 @Columbia has opened an investigation into my advocacy for the Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, and staff at the university. This is a clear act of retaliation and an attempt to silence me. If you want to know more, read my statement below

U.S. campuses have been terrorized by pro-Hamas protests, primarily led by Students for ‘Justice’ in Palestine. To understand these protests, one must look at who’s behind this organization. Three words: Follow the money. (Sorry for the long thread. I promise: it’s worth it)

I liked Charlie Kirk. You know why? Because he was willing to talk to anyone. His arguments, many of which I deeply disagreed with, forced me to think. May his memory be a blessing. Keep having conversations.

Last night, I spent time with the Jewish students @Columbia. They were willing to be recorded, as long as they are not identified. Take a listen to all the recordings below. This is not my story. This is their story. Please amplify their voices and tell their stories.

When all is said and done, and those who excuse, support, glorify, and identify with Hamas and the Islamic Jihad are removed from @Columbia and other U.S. colleges, I will not be happy. I will be relieved. But I will also be disappointed. Disappointed by the complete lack of leadership at @Columbia and @Harvard and @Yale and @CUNY and @Stanford and @UCLA and @UCBerkeley and @Penn and many other U.S. colleges. Disappointed by media outlets like @NYTimes and @60Minutes who, for six months, have been playing "both-sideism", downplaying the risk of antisemitism and terrorism, and giving Hamas supporters airtime. Disappointed by the mayors of New York City and Chicago and Los Angeles and New Haven and Boston and Palo Alto and many other American metropolis who care more about polling averages than about doing the right thing. And mostly disappointed by my many colleagues at @Columbia and other universities who decided to look the other way. I've been personally warning about this for six months and none of your listened. I'm just glad you're listening now.

What is common to the 12 out of the 13 countries that have spent most money on U.S. colleges? They are non-democratic countries. This is what foreign interference looks like. This is why you have support for Hamas at @Columbia and other U.S. colleges. They're not just coming for the Jews. They're coming for America.

The Infiltration of Terror Supporting and anti-American Ideology into North American Universities: A case study Sorry for the long thread, but trust me - it's worth it. Seriously.

I am calling it. It's time for EVERYONE in the antisemitism task force at @Columbia to resign RIGHT NOW. Every extra minute that you don't do so is an extra minute of you being an accomplice. Retweet if you agree.

If you take one thing away from this, then let this be it: Within Our Lifetime - the organization behind these protests - should be declared a Domestic Terrorist Organization.

Yoseph Haddad (@YosephHaddad) is an *Arab* Israeli journalist who believes in co-existence. He just got assaulted outside of @Columbia. If the @NYPD can't figure this out, it's time to bring in the @USNationalGuard

Yesterday, I testified in front of the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee about antisemitism and support for terrorism at @Columbia and many other American universities. The members of Congress asked some really thoughtful questions. Here were my responses: (a thread)

This may be too vulnerable of me, but I need really your help. The internet mob either forgot that I'm a human being or they just don't care. Either way, their personal attacks are too much for me. I can't do this on my own. Please have my back. Don't let them silence me.

This guy's father in law plead guilty to fundraising for Hamas. Seriously. Google it. He is a professor at @Georgetown. He is teaching Americans who are going into the Foreign Service at @georgetownsfs. Sorry, I don't take criticism from terrorists.

Protestor praising the burning of the American flag and saying that Bin Laden "did what he had to do" This is domestic terrorism.

You know why. We all know why.

The youngest hostage in the world, Kfir Bibas, is being held by Hamas in Gaza. The only GREAT grandfather who is a hostage in the entire world, Oded Lifshitz, is being held by Hamas in Gaza. This isn’t political issue. This is a humanitarian issue. If you really want this war to end, call for the release of the hostages. Bring. Them. Home.

I don’t think I can put into words how much it pains me that Columbia University – my own employer - won’t condemn Hamas’ crimes against humanity. I am not angry. I feel pain. I feel pain because condemning crimes against humanity seems like such a no brainer.

This poster seen today on campus depicts all Israelis as skunks. If any other group was depicted as animals, the school would have already called the @FBI to investigate. What's next? All Jews are vermin? @Columbia University - What the fuck are you waiting for?

Another example of blue-collar workers cleaning up the mess left by entitled, rich, @Columbia brats who have never experienced consequences in their lives.

You know why Hamas has yet to release the hostages and put down their weapon? Because of the moral support they’re getting from the west. Yes, @Columbia, we are all looking at you.

Expel each and every one of them.

I have - and will - call out any antisemite out there. I don't care if you are White, Black, Brown, or anything else. If you say that you're not above participating in a massacre of Jews, I will call you out.

This also happened today.

You don't need to pray. You need to ask your daughter to stop.

This morning, @Columbia decided that it doesn't care about the safety of its Jewish students.

I apologize for my language in advance, but this is something we can't keep in anymore. The Presidents of @Columbia University and @BarnardCollege don't give a fuck about their Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, or staff. (a short thread to explain this strong statement)

A Jewish professor at UCLA received this message from Maher Zamel, a graduate of UPenn (and former chairman of their graduate student association) and previous Deputy School Principal. This is not how political differences look. This is pure, unmitigated hate.

Today I learned that the man who assassinated RFK was a Palestinian-American who did so because of Kennedy’s support of Israel.

The pro-terror organizations at @Columbia are getting scared. In an effort to silence me, they are now petitioning that I be "removed from teaching and contact with students." A message to my students: don't worry. Next Tuesday I *will* be in class We will not be silenced.

It's as simple as that.

Don't use our grief for politics. You know the context of this murder. You know the ideology. You know what the murderer chanted as he was throwing Molotov cocktails. You have led crowds in the same chant yourself. Go back to your trust fund and leave us alone.

This is the person who, right now, is barring the NYPD from dealing with Hamas on campus. Shame on @Columbia

I didn’t leave @Columbia to “pursue other endeavors.” I left because I no longer trust its so-called leadership to confront the anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, and anti-American hate festering on campus. During my six years there, I met plenty of well-paid bureaucrats — but not once did I meet a true leader.

Dear @NYCMayor Eric Adams, For the past seven years, Jews have been the number one target of hate crimes in New York City 2023: 49% of hate crimes were against Jews 2022: 43% of hate crimes were against Jews 2021: 38% of hate crimes were against Jews 2020: 44% of hate crimes were against Jews 2019: 58% of hate crimes were against Jews 2018: 53% of hate crimes were against Jews 2017: 46% of hate crimes were against Jews No, "we are not OK". We haven't been OK for a while. Data: nyc.gov/site/nypd/stats/repo…

The videos speak for themselves: @Columbia University is either unwilling or unable to protect its Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, and staff I personally didn't feel safe going to campus today. To understand why, see below. (A thread of with alarming videos)

Will the coming academic year at @Columbia be different than the previous one? Yes. It will be worse. Just these past three days expose all you need to know about the moral rot at @Columbia University. A long but informative (and alarming) thread.

Right now at @Columbia: An UNAUTHORIZED pro-Hamas protest By refusing to hold the organizers accountable, Columbia is sending a big fuck you to every Jewish and Israeli student, faculty, or staff. The President of Columbia needs to be held accountable. (thread w/ videos)

Yesterday morning, President Shafik of @Columbia put on a show for the world by calling the @NYPD to disperse an illegal encampment on campus. This was Columbia last night. They're still there. Enough is enough. Fire Shafik and bring in law enforcement. Please retweet and tag @NYPDChiefOfDept and @NYCMayor

I was just informed by the COO of @Columbia that beginning tomorrow, I will be granted entry to main campus. No apology. No explanation. I believe this a perfect example of "too little, too late". Nevertheless, I am still willing to work with this administration to fight antisemitism and support for terrorism. Read (below) my response.

Ta-Nehisi Coates is not above raping young women at a music festival in the name of "resistance". That's the headline. Everything else is commentary.

Protestor's response to the burning of the American flag: "Burn it down again and again and again"

"Intifada, intifada, long live the intifada!" @Columbia has two choices: (1) Expel organizations that explicitly call for violence against Jews and Israelis (2) Show the world it can't/won't enforce its own rules (and face legal consequences for unequal enforcement)

Israel eliminated the billionaires who ran Hamas. You're welcome.

To the silent majority: I think we need to talk about your silence.

To all the journalists covering President Shafik's email to @BarnardCollege and @Columbia's community this morning, take note: Not a single word about Jewish students, faculty, or staff. Not a single word about Israeli students, faculty, or staff. Jews are invisible at @Columbia.

To all those asking me what's going to happen at @Columbia and other American universities, the truth is - I don't know. But here are my predictions: (1) The pro-Hamas professors like Joseph Massad and Hamid Dabishi will keep indoctrinating students. In three months, they will receive a new crop of first-year undergraduates to fill with hate against Israel and the United States. (2) Unless they face actual consequences, the pro-terror student organizations like SJP and JVP will continue disrupting academic life on campus, making life unbearable for Jewish and Israeli students. (3) There will be unauthorized protests and illegal encampments, with complete impunity for their leaders. They will organize pro-Hamas protests during orientation. They will organize pro-Hamas protests to mark the anniversary of the October 7 Massacre. They will organize pro-Hamas protests to shut down any speaker with whom they disagree. (4) Following months of constant bombing from Lebanon, Israel will eventually have to fight Hezbollah (remember, almost 100,000 Israelis have not been able to return to their homes in Northern Israel since October). There will be civilian casualties. The pro-terror student organizations and their faculty indoctrinators will side with Hezbollah. (5) Most "good" professors will stay silent. Professors of psychology who have stood idly by will teach students about the importance of bystander intervention. Professors of business who haven't shown even an iota of leadership will teach MBAs how to be leaders. Professors of sociology who haven't said a word in defense of Jewish students will teach students about the importance of diversity. Professors of gender studies who haven't said a word about the mass rapes by Hamas will teach about body autonomy. Just a lot more of "do as I say, not as I do." (5) I may or may not have a job at @Columbia, but I will still be there, fighting. Because fuck it. This is more important than anything else I have ever done.

Instead of taking the hippocratic oath, it seems like some doctors have taken an oath of hypocrisy. Problem is, this person is hired by @UCSF - a state school - and her salary is paid by taxpayers' money. How is this acceptable?

President Minouche Shafik of @Columbia (who has said in a recently revealed post-9/11 interview that terrorism can be seen as a form of legitimate protest) is not allowing me nor the @NYPDnews on campus. You who she is allowing on campus? This Hamas "journalist". Let me get this straight: The gates are locked for Jews and the NYPD, but wide open for Hamas and the Islamic Jihad. She should be tried for this.

Nothing justifies forcing a person to dig their own grave.

I will always apologize for my mistakes. I will always apologize for my moral failures. But I will never apologize for standing up for myself. I will *never* apologize for my existence.

Right now, outside @Columbia University: A bigoted, antisemitic, hate-filled protest against Israel right to exist (a thread with pictures and videos)

Not enough, @Columbia. You know who the students are. Expel them.

Remember: The tunnels in which Hamas keeps Israeli hostages were paid for by American and European money.

Important news: As of today, my contract at @Columbia_Biz has been renewed for another year. I guess speaking out against antisemitism and support for terrorism is not (yet) a fireable offense at @Columbia. As promised, I will not stop fighting for - and with - the Jewish community at the university, especially our Jewish students. And yes, part of this fight is calling out bullshit. So, here it goes: Every year, we get a letter about the school's great achievements during the previous academic year. It is pretty boilerplate stuff. But this year it was different. This year, the email included a blatant lie: "This year presented several unforeseen and significant challenges, and our community came together with remarkable compassion and understanding." I call bullshit. What community? What "compassion and understanding"? Is this referring to Asim Ansari and Kamel Jedidi - two professors in the Marketing Division at Columbia Business School - who signed a letter minimizing the massacre, rape, torture, and kidnapping of Israeli civilians as merely “a military response"? Is this referring to the 136 professors at Columbia Business School who, other than a righteous few, have said *absolutely nothing* about the explosion of antisemitism at the university? Is this referring to my senior colleagues who have been cc-d on every antisemitic email I have received in the past eight months and never once thought about calling it out or checking in on me? Is this referring to the meeting that I *personally* had at the business school in which representatives of the university could not openly acknowledge that Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad are terrorist organizations? Is this referring to the Vice Dean of DEI at Columbia Business School who insisted that he cannot devote a workshop solely to battling antisemitism? (because antisemitism, on its own, doesn't seem to merit much consideration at our school) Is this referring to the DEI's office refusal to host an event to commemorate the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, even though I offered to personally run the event? Is this referring to the school's complete disregard for Jewish Heritage Month, even though it commemorated every day or month that celebrates other minorities? Is this referring to the Jewish students who could not attend their own graduation ceremony because it was held in the Bronx on a Shabbat? Don't get me wrong - Columbia Business School is a great place to get an MBA. We have incredible resources and many professors who, despite lacking a moral backbone, are at the top of their field. It is for this reason that, even to this day, I tell anyone who asks that they should definitely attend our school. Yet, when you come to Columbia Business School, you must do so with eyes wide open. Don't come expecting a community. And definitely don't come expecting "compassion and understanding." At least not when it comes to Jews and Israelis. Education always boils down to one thing: the truth. Let's not lie to ourselves. More important - let's not lie to our students. @Columbia University and @Columbia_Biz are great places to learn, bur right now they are not great places to be. At least not yet. That's why I am fighting. To make them better. For everyone.

I don't understand @Columbia. Why not simply assign Mein Kampf as required reading and have special "rape as resistance" workshops?
