Antisemitism at Columbia Again in Spotlight, Media Coverage Whitewashes CUAD Support for Terrorism
The ongoing plague of antisemitism at Columbia University was again in the headlines this week with the U.S. government’s effort to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a leading instigator of the antisemitic unrest on campus, as well as the $400 million cut in federal funding for Columbia over its failure to protect Jewish students, faculty, and staff.
Much mainstream media coverage of the Khalil case whitewashes the antisemitic and terror-supporting ideology driving the Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) coalition, for which Khalil served a self-described “spokesman.” CUAD’s history of espousing extremist and pro-Hamas views is incontrovertible, including celebrating the October 7th massacre and declaring an aim of fighting for the “total eradication of Western civilization.”
Worldwide Antisemitic Violence and Vandalism
The Antisemitism Research Center (ARC) by CAM recorded a series of incidents of antisemitic violence and vandalism around the world this week, including:
- Germany: Police arrested three Syrian nationals who spit on photographs of Israeli hostages held captive in Gaza displayed outside the Jewish Museum in Munich. The assailants also spewed antisemitic slurs, and one brandished a knife at security personnel.
- Australia: A vandal scrawled, “Israel is evil!” on the outside wall of a Jewish-owned bakery in Melbourne.
- Arizona: Police arrested a man suspected of targeting the Khal Chasidim community center in Casa Grande in an arson attack that inflicted extensive damage.
