The listening to was targeted on the pervasive antisemitism on the Ivy League college in addition to demanding solutions to what penalties, if any, Professor Joseph Massad confronted after he penned an article praising the Oct. 7 Hamas terror assaults towards Israeli civilians.   Massad praised Hamas militants as “superior,” “astonishing,” “astounding,” and “unimaginable.”

“My assertion on @Columbia College’s failure to fight antisemitism following the inconsistent and unacceptable testimony from their campus management: “As we speak’s listening to of Columbia College president and board members epitomizes the failed management on “elite” faculty campuses to fight antisemitism and defend Jewish college students. From the college president’s ethical equivocation on antisemitism, to obviously inconsistent testimony relating to disciplinary motion and lack thereof taken towards antisemitic college students and pro-terrorist school, to astonishingly stating that there was no “anti-Jewish” protests on campus solely to then acknowledge that “F– the Jews” & “Dying to the Jews” is in-fact anti-Jewish when she was additional pressed.

Apparently, throughout a break, the witnesses had been overheard discussing how nicely they thought their testimony was going for Columbia. This vanity is eerily reminiscent to the earlier three college presidents who believed strolling out of the listening to that their testimony was acceptable. Columbia is in for a reckoning of accountability.

If it takes a member of Congress to power a college president to fireplace a pro-terrorist, antisemitic school chair, then Columbia College management is failing Jewish college students and its tutorial mission. No quantity of overlawyered, overprepped, and over-consulted testimony goes to cowl up for failure to behave.”
