On Columbia's Occupation by Promoters of Genocidal Jew-Hatred

In the New York Post I write on my alma mater's handover to those who would destroy the very values and principles it was built to promote and foster -- and the implications for America

Barbaric anti-Israel protesters are causing mayhem at the gates of Columbia University

That Jews were made to feel unsafe to walk the Columbia University campus Passover eve in 2024, fearing risk of assault from unchecked promoters of genocidal jihadism and the destruction of Israel, America and the Judeo-Christian West, is a complete and utter disgrace. 

It is also the logical conclusion of the progressives’ long march through the institutions. 

Absent a massive sea change, not just Jews but all Americans will bear the brunt of the ceding of schools to those who would destroy the very civilization from which they sprang.

I explain in an op-ed in today’s New York Post.

As I conclude:

If Americans do not use every lever of power to force changes in personnel and policies — frankly from K-12 onward — Jews and non-Jews alike will pay the price. 

Today’s student shills for Hamas — which has American blood on its hands, as do other proxies of an Iranian regime the Biden administration has bent over backwards to appease — are tomorrow’s State Department officers. 

In fact, by the looks of the struggle sessions being held in Foggy Bottom — and more broadly by nearly 12 years of Obama-Biden policy — Washington is already dominated by graduated versions of such ideologues. 

Ultimately, the Columbia crisis illustrates the stark choice we face as a country: Do we abide the barbarism celebrated by the school’s genocidal-jihadist promoters and ultimately succumb to them, or do we instead do justice to the names of those etched into the Butler Library façade that looms over them — from Plato and Aristotle to Dante and Shakespeare — and defend our civilization?
