Late last night, someone ripped the Mezuzah off my sister’s doorway and threw it down the hall in her dorm at

The first thing she did this morning was put it back up. I’m proud to be her sister. This is the spirit of the Jewish people.

Columbia University right now: Within Our Lifetime organizer Nerdeen Kiswani has somehow made it onto campus and is encouraging students to keep going.
If campus is restricted to CU ID holders, how on earth did she get on campus?
@Columbia
@EdWorkforceCmte
The pro-Hamas mob at

have proven time and time again that their advocacy isn’t *actually* about improving the lives of Palestinians.
Thanks
@wolfblitzer
for giving me the opportunity to explain why ⤵️
So
@ShaiDavidai
’s Columbia ID was deactivated but antisemitic, pro-Hamas, pro-violence professors Joseph Massad and Mohammed Abdou are still allowed on campus?
THIS is the double standard we’ve been screaming about for months. This is shameful
@Columbia
.
BY THE WAY - this building has direct access to student dormitories.
Students live in this building.
NYPD said they need permission from the university to enter campus.
@Columbia
, your students are in danger. Where are you? What are you waiting for?
Tonight, protestors at
@Columbia
tried to burn an Israeli flag. They hit and shoved a brave Jewish student that tried to stop them.
On campus.
Don’t believe me? See for yourself ⤵️
This same “AsAJew” student being referred to also told us that he had lost two Israeli cousins on October 7.
When we asked for their names to include them in our prayers, the student responded that he did not know.
This is how far the tokenization goes. And it’s shameful.
Jewish Columbia Student on "AsAJew" Tokens:
They openly say they've renounced their Judaism, but the second CNN comes they put on a talit and a kippa and cosplay as Jews.
Today on
@Columbia
’s campus:
As Speaker of the United States House of Representatives
@SpeakerJohnson
spoke about how babies were burned alive in ovens on October 7, my peers laughed and chanted over him.
Read that again. No matter your politics, that is morally reprehensible.
“A lot of people here aren’t students. They’ve snuck in.”
These are the same people that punched our guest speaker. That threw fake blood at my friends. That vowed to repeat Oct. 7.
Campus access is supposed to be restricted to CU ID holders.
@Columbia
where are you?
1. You can’t call for the extermination of an entire group of people & claim to be pro-peace. There’s no future on the land without Israelis & Palestinians.
2.
@Columbia
KNEW about his threats months ago & did nothing about it. Now, he’s leading the Gaza solidarity encampment.
“Zionists don’t deserve to live.”
Meet Khymani James, a leader of Columbia University’s anti-Israel Gaza Solidarity Encampment.
He said this during a live-stream which included a meeting with the school over threatening social media posts.
My latest:
I didn’t think we could get any lower, and here we are. This is what happens when you prove your threats to be empty and words to be meaningless
@Columbia
. This is disgraceful.
Here’s a leader and spokesperson of the Gaza solidarity encampment talking about “going out and murdering Zionists.” This is the same
person that orchestrated a human chain to push out the “Zionist infiltrators” (read: Jewish students). Definitely super peace-loving & welcoming!
Apparently, this student is also negotiating with
@Columbia
as a representative of the encampment.
If someone made the same remarks about “going out and murdering” members of any other marginalized group, I highly doubt
#Columbia
would be willing to negotiate with them.

The president of Columbia told Congress that Prof. Abdou had been terminated.
In an interview IN HIS OFFICE, he clarified that he in fact has not been terminated, & was actually teaching from the illegal encampment.
@EdWorkforceCmte
what's the consequence for lying under oath?
Let me get this straight: protestors at
#Columbia
harass, threaten, and assault Jewish students on campus, protesting in clear violation of university policy.
The administration of

then proceeds to negotiate with said protestors.
Is this Nazi Germany?
Currently at
#Columbia
: students occupy the OTHER lawn following the forced evacuation and subsequent arrests of the encampment by the NYPD. One student set off something emitting smoke.
How on earth did we get to this point?
@Columbia
These are the same people that claimed to be committed to a free press just a few days ago.
Now, they’re afraid the press may expose their echo chamber of radical misinformation.
The University is continuing dialogue with student representatives of the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” for “the next 48 hours” following “important progress” in negotiations, a University spokesperson wrote in a 3:03 a.m. Wednesday statement to Spectator.
So much for the midnight deadline…
President Shafik has proven repeatedly that she doesn’t follow through with her actions. Why did we expect this time to be any different?
This is shameful
@Columbia
Reporter grills Columbia student after she demands the university help feed protestors occupying Hamilton Hall:
"It seems like you're saying, 'we want to be revolutionaries, we want to take over this building, now would you please bring us some food'."
This is not an anti-war movement. You cannot claim to be pro-peace when your peace is selectively allocated to some people and not others. You cannot claim to be pro-ceasefire and praise Hamas’ rockets at the same time. The hypocrisy of this movement is astounding.
@Columbia
To say this is unacceptable is a massive understatement.
@Yale

Tonight at Yale, I was assaulted by a student today at an anti-Israel protest. He stabbed me in the eye with a Palestinian flag. Now I'm in the hospital. This is what happens when visibly Jewish students try to attend and document these rallies.

Anonymous Columbia students that clearly did not listen to what we had to say in the letter:
“To deescalate the rancor and give us all a chance to consider next steps, I am announcing that all classes will be held virtually on Monday” -
@Columbia
President Minouche Shafik
We’ve had six months to consider the next steps. It’s time for action.
The antisemitic cult is trying to run Jewish students off our own campus.
Every time I think they can’t go any lower, they do. This is nothing but a shameful display of pure indoctrination.
I made an earlier post about at what point can we say these are violent protestors? Is the leader of the encampment spewing this enough for
@AOC
to condemn it?
Today in congress,
@Columbia
's president claimed the university is using "every tool available to combat antisemitism."
Is this what combatting antisemitism looks like?
#Columbia
has become unrecognizable.
It was never about peaceful protest. The question is what university administrators at Hunter College and other New York schools will do to keep their students safe in the face of this modern day pogrom.
“Your campus needs to hear from you, now. These protests have turned Columbia into a place where Jewish students have reason to fear for their safety and from which many are fleeing, actually fleeing, in fear.”

Jewish students are terrified.
@NYPD26Pct
it’s time to take action.
We went to a “pro-Palestine” rally with only American flags to see how people would react. The responses we got should sadden and anger anyone who cares about America, democracy, liberalism, and peace. Clearly, this is not just about Israel.
A protest dedicated to a day of rage in front of the only open entrance to
@Columbia
’s campus seems like a nice way to celebrate Holocaust Remembrance Day. I know who *won’t* be leaving their dorms tomorrow afternoon.
This is like saying “all lives matter” on Juneteenth.
And by the way, the Holocaust didn’t “include” the genocide of 6 million Jews - that was quite literally it’s stated goal.
Yom HaShoah, Holocaust remembrance Day, marks the Holocaust and honors the 17 million people murdered during Nazi Germany’s genocide, including 6 million Jews.
We know our remembrance is hollow if we cannot apply the lessons of our past to the present day. 🧵

Racism, bigotry, and harassment have no room in our universities.
But university leaders across the country have proven that when directed at the Jewish community, “it depends on the context.”

@Columbia
your fecklessness has put your entire community at risk.
Shame on the faculty members at

that tokenize their Judaism to deny the pervasive antisemitism experienced by the majority of Jewish students on campus.
Just because you can’t feel it from from your ivory tower doesn’t mean it’s not there.
So while
@penn
students are too scared to walk to their finals. The encampment decided to have classes for lower schoolers. Notice the Hamas red triangle on the jug.
This is grooming.
And on Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, nonetheless.
You don’t get to call your movement pro-peace when you organize a day of rage on the same day Jews around the world commemorate the genocide of 6 million of our people.
That’s not a protest, that’s a pogrom.
It was never about peaceful protest. The question is what university administrators at Hunter College and other New York schools will do to keep their students safe in the face of this modern day pogrom.
Students for Justice in Palestine is demanding a boycott of Hillel, a Jewish institution.

Yale: Jewish student told by protest organizers blockading me at a violent anti-Jewish rally that he can only join the rally on the "outskirts" and "outside." Jews can't get too close—when I tried to walk forward, they blockaded. Then I got stabbed in the eye by a 🇵🇸 flag

Welcome to

, where students not only praise the Islamic Republic, but victim blame Israel for the attack against them.
As Jews around the world pray for Israel’s safety tonight, Harvard students take to social media to praise Iran, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. If these terrorist-supporting classmates are America’s future leaders, we are in serious danger.
A rabbi at Columbia University has lost confidence in the university’s ability to protect its own Jewish students. He is advising Jewish students to return home for their own safety.
That Columbia University has failed its Jewish students so profoundly is an indelible stain on
That’s because he *is* still chair of the committee.
He also told multiple media outlets this afternoon that today’s hearing was the first he heard of being under investigation. Did President Shafik repeatedly lie under oath?

Shutting down campus in response to the planned “day of rage for Gaza” is another great example of what cowering to the antisemitic, anti-American mob looks like in real time. Looks like CUNY admin learned from

When the Center for Security, Race, and Rights promotes terrorism on campus, how can students & faculty members be expected not to? This is prime example of how

BREAKING: Columbia Commencement ceremonies, initially scheduled for May 15, have been canceled, and Class Days will take place at the Baker Athletics Complex and other off-campus locations, according to a Monday announcement.
As students and as Americans, we embrace and revere the right to free speech and expression—even when the speech is uncomfortable. However what is happening on campus is not an exercise in freedom of speech.

The audacity of non Jews to define our religion and beliefs for us is an astounding phenomenon that is not tolerated - and rightfully so - when it comes to any other minority group.
So why is it acceptable when it comes to Jews?
This Hamas supporter seems to believe that he can tell Jews what is and isn't antisemitism.
Spoiler alert: He defines it in a way that allows him to be antisemitic.
The pro-terror encampment is adjacent to the

Imagine being a Jewish student at Columbia University and finding yourself tormented by Anti-Israel extremists who call for October 7th to be repeated—10,000 times!
Calling for 10,000 October 7 massacres is tantamount to calling for the murder of 12 million Jews.
