Instead of banning violent demonstrations and intimidation of Jewish academics and students, @Columbia University is investigating an Israeli academic for standing up against antisemitism.

The Israeli-born @Columbia University professor who gained notoriety for ripping the school’s failure to address rampant antisemitism on campus revealed he’s under investigation by the embattled Ivy-a probe he said is a “clear act of retaliation and an attempt to silence me.” @ShaiDavidai an assistant professor at Columbia Business School, wrote Friday to his nearly 35,000 “X” followers that the university opened a probe into his “advocacy for the Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, and staff at the university.” “My problem is with Hamas and support for Hamas. I guess the university somehow thinks that supporting terrorism a protected class. That could be the only explanation for this investigation.” The beleaguered Ivy is under investigation by Congress and the US Department of Education, and is facing two lawsuits, brought by close to 20 Jewish students, for violations of their civil rights. https://nypost.com/2024/03/09/us-news/clear-act-of-retaliation-pro-israel-columbia-prof-probed/
