Columbia professor rips university's president over Israel-Hamas war response
Hamas releases propaganda video of Israeli hostages accusing Netanyahu of wanting ‘to kill us all’Cuomo calls for states to cut off funds to public schools that condone antisemitismMore than 100 Columbia University professors signed a letter Monday defending students who supported Hamas’ “military action” in Israel on Oct. 7 and called on administrators to protect those students from “disturbing reverberations” on the Manhattan campus.
“In our view, the student statement aims to recontextualize the events of Oct. 7, 2023, pointing out that military operations and state violence did not begin that day, but rather it represented a military response by a people who had endured crushing and unrelenting state violence from an occupying power over many years,” they wrote of the brutal terror attack that killed more than 1,400 Israelis, most of them civillians.
Faculty members conclude their letter by saying, “One of the core responsibilities of a world-class university is to interrogate the underlying facts of both settled propositions and those that are ardently disputed.“As faculty, we are committed to the project of holding discomfort and working across difference with our students,” it reads.
“The international judicial system must intervene and hold all parties, including the state of Israel, accountable for the violations it commits.”
