What's the most absurd part of this statement from Columbia University? Is it their claim that they've been condemning celebrations of terror when we have video after video of Columbia students praising Hamas with no consequences from the school? Could it be when they say they promote learning environments with civility, tolerance, and respect yet are having a man who called the October 7th attacks "astounding" teach about Zionism? Or is it that they try to defend their asinine decision to allow Professor Massad to teach a class on Zionism with the statement that the course is not required? Violence against Jews just keeps rising and rising because institutions like Columbia platform people like Massad. If you want a civil and intellectual conversation about Zionism you aren't going to get it from a man who thinks all the Jews in Israel need to get out or die.
