Columbia gives the all-clear for more antisemitic violence this fall

Not one single Columbia student arrested for the pro-Hamas occupation of the school’s Hamilton Hall has been expelled, per a new House Committee on Education and the Workforce report.  

Not one. 

Let that sink in.

At the modern Ivy League university, you can get in trouble for misgendering someone. 

But engaging in brownshirt tactics and breaking the law to advance the public profile of a genocidal terror organization?

Totally fine. 

Worse still, of the 22 students arrested over their would-be Kristallnacht, some 18 are still in good academic standing.

Literally unthinkable if they had committed the same acts in the name of any other cause. 

It utterly gives the lie to the school’s claims it takes the antisemitic violence that flared up on its campus seriously — and proves again that this climate of hate, fear and intimidation of Jews students is 100% OK with the school’s professoriate and student body. 

The normalization of Jew-hate is also the inevitable product of the critical race theory that dominates today’s universities. 

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), who chairs the House committee, was dead right in saying, “Columbia has waved the white flag in surrender while offering up a get-out-of-jail-free card to those who participated in these unlawful actions.”

And while the departure of spineless Minouche Shafik as Columbia’s president is more than welcome, it’s clear that until the school is forcibly held to account, the Jew-hate will continue. 

Foxx and her committee deserve major kudos for keeping the spotlight glowing here, as well, especially since the media would much rather sweep it under the rug as more pro-terror protests rock the DNC and threaten to reveal the ugly, true face of the modern Democratic Party. 

In the meantime, Jewish kids at Columbia (and on elite campuses generally) need to get ready for a violent fall. 

Columbia’s declared open season.
