As the saying goes, if they’re telling you who they are, believe them
Nearly six months after Columbia University banned Khymani James, a Pro-Palestinian student activist, who said “Zionists don’t deserve to live,” the coalition that had apologized on his behalf rescinded its statement of regret – and advocated for armed resistance against Israel.
“Last spring, in the midst of the encampments, Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) posted a statement framed as an apology on behalf of Khymani James,” CUAD posted Tuesday night on Instagram. “We deliberately misrepresented your experiences and your words, and we let you down.”
In a since-deleted post on X, James acknowledged in April that he had said several months earlier in an Instagram Live video: “Zionists don’t deserve to live,” and “Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.” In the now-deleted April post, he said, “I misspoke in the heat of the moment, for which I apologize.”
You do not “misspeak” about murder and wanting millions of people to die. The dude wears an Intifada keffiyeh, the symbol of murdering Jews, for goodness sake
Columbia suspended James in April, and he since sued the university to get his ban overturned.
“I never wrote the neo-liberal apology posted in late April, and I’m glad we’ve set the record straight once and for all,” James wrote Tuesday in an X post. “I will not allow anyone to shame me for my politics. Anything I said, I meant it.”
CUAD helped ignite the protest encampments at Columbia in April that sparked a pro-Palestine and anti-Israel movement on campuses across America. In the months since that movement started, the group has taken an increasingly hard-line stance against Israel, advocating for violent uprisings against the country.
Well, that won’t help his lawsuit in the least. Further, when does Columbia suspend CUAD, and, quite frankly kick the members off campus due to offering full support to a comrade who wants Jews murdered, and is willing to do it himself? One group has assimilated into every aspect of American life, works hard to succeed, values family and education, pays their taxes, is financially independent, and is generally accepting of others. The other has never progressed past the stone age, hates America but reaps the benefits of American life, straps explosive devices to children, mistreats women and forbids them from seeking an education, and dislikes any other group of people. These college infants need to get a clue.
They “advocated for armed resistance against Israel,” but I haven’t seen any stories about them leaving the safe confines of Morningside Heights and actually going to Gaza to engage in “armed resistance against Israel.”
There have been several stories about Americans, primarily combat veterans, who have left the United States and gone to Ukraine, to fight against the Russians, and at least a few of them have been killed in action. Hey, they were vets, knew the dangers, and chose to brave them anyway!
And there have been many stories about Americans and Europeans, primarily Jews, who have gone to Israel to fight with the Israel Defense Force. Some are dual citizens, and the anti-Semitic left have been calling for them not to be allowed to return to their European countries, saying that they are “war criminals.”
But pro-‘Palestinian’ Europeans and Americans? I can’t say that none have gone to Gaza to join the fight, but if any have, there haven’t been enough of them to have merited any story that I have seen in the credentialed media about it.
