Wise words by @CUJewsIsraelis 👇 Happy to finally see the specific reference to “targeting Israelis @Columbia” and the endorsement of the Kalaniyot program kalaniyot.org at Columbia.
🚨NEW: @Columbia has announced further efforts – which are necessary, but not sufficient – to combat antisemitism on campus. - Adopts IHRA definition of antisemitism. - Appoints Title VI and VII coordinators which will issue an annual report. - Developing antisemitism trainings…
"לעמרי אין זמן. לאף אחד מהם אין. זה לא עניין פוליטי – זה עניין של אנושיות. זה על ילדה בת ארבע שרק רוצה שאבא ינשק אותה בלילה. זה על 50 בני אדם." אל מול תקשורת בינלאומית במדשאות בוושינגטון, קראו המשפחות להסכם שישיב את כל 50 החטופים והחטופה הביתה: לישי, אשתו של עמרי מירן: “ממשל…
"I am here to say, without hesitation: this fighting puts the lives of the hostages at risk every single second. Every moment without a deal puts them in greater danger." One year after a collapsed deal, hostage families and captivity survivors return to Capitol Hill with a…
They support violence, vandalism, and terrorizing students. They would NEVER allow this for those with different speech content. These particular faculty SHOULD be ineligible for federal funds of any sort.
We unequivocally condemn @Columbia’s fascist crackdown on the participants in the Butler teach-in. Columbia will go down in history as an institution that punished students who raised their voices while Gaza starved.
We are pleased that @Columbia is enforcing its policies by suspending or expelling nearly 80 students who took part in an anti-Israel encampment during the Spring of 2024 and an anti-Israel takeover of Bulter Library in the Spring of 2025. This action shows that those who violate…
We are sad to once again be in a situation where @Columbia students need to be disciplined so harshly, but we commend the university for taking a strong stand. We are hopeful that we will finally be able to return to research and teaching with this type of development.
BREAKING: Another positive update from @Columbia — after Public Safety officers successfully contained and identified the Butler Library mob, the university is handing down severe discipline to more than 70 perpetrators. Yet another unequivocally good decision by Columbia.

I respectfully disagree. @brcohen has been a strong leader of the Jewish & Israeli community @Columbia during an extremely challenging period. As he indicated above, the message earlier this week was a first step. Today we observed another important step and we hope to see more.
BREAKING @J_Insider via @HaleyCohen19: "Columbia moves student disciplinary authority out of University Senate" "Pro-Israel students have been advocating for the move since the faculty Senate refused to discipline anti-Israel student protesters" jewishinsider.com/2025/07/columb…
This is a big and positive change announced from @columbia Moving the rules process out of the Senate is very necessary and I welcome this announcement. secretary.columbia.edu/news/trustee-a…
To anyone following the developments @Columbia: I cannot emphasize enough the importance of Columbia's announcement today. Moving discipline and rule-making out of the University Senate was top of the institutional reform list. This is the most important progress to date.
We are happy to see significant progress regarding @Columbia discipline. It has been clarified that “responsibility for oversight of the UJB, as well as the interpretation *and modification* of the rules, now resides in the Provost’s Office." This is a major step towards a…
.@TheAENetwork was delighted to recently learn that the next Kalaniyot chapter will be launched @Columbia! 👏 Glad it’s now official! The idea for this innovative 🇺🇸-🇮🇱 academic exchange program grew out of an AEN faculty mission to Israel last spring, & is spearheaded by AEN…
An important update from Acting President Claire Shipman on Columbia's commitment to combatting antisemitism: president.columbia.edu/news/our-addit…
I welcome these steps taken by @columbia including the unequivocal recognition that there is an antisemitism problem on campus and that it has had a tangible impact on Jewish students’ sense of safety and belonging. I hope this announcement marks the beginning of meaningful and…

This is who they are defending:"According to court documents, other public filings, & statements previously made on the record in this case, over the course of approximately 9 months, Bazrouk physically assaulted 3 Jewish individuals at protests concerning the Israel/Gaza war."
CUAD AFFIRMS OUR SUPPORT FOR TAREK BAZROUK AND ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS On May 7, the FBI raided Tarek Bazrouk’s home and arrested him on bogus charges related to Gaza protests in 2024. He was denied bail and faces up to 5 years in federal prison. We demand his immediate release.
Yesterday in NYC, we marked a heartbreaking milestone of 4,000 days since Hadar Goldin was abducted. We stood with the hostage families. We stood for their loved ones, and we won’t stop until every last hostage is home. Photo credit: Yoav Ginsburg, Dani Tenebaum, Amnon Shemi…
While we would like to see federal funding restored ASAP, we are extremely concerned that an agreement that does not include real and structural changes will not resolve the antisemitism and anti-Israeli hate that have become pervasive @Columbia
This deal, as reported, would be a complete failure from the Trump administration. How do we know? Because the extremists at @Columbia are going to love it. We want a deal to restore federal funding. But it needs to decisively address the core issues at Columbia. Otherwise,…

A must read by Prof. @Rebecca_Kobrin of @ColumbiaIIJS documenting the hatred that Israeli students @Columbia have faced since Oct 7th.
In a powerful new article, Prof. Rebecca Kobrin of @ColumbiaIIJS shows how Israeli students at @Columbia faced a wave of hate and isolation after Oct 7: a new ‘anti-Israelism’ in addition to antisemitism. Anonymous campus apps like Sidechat fueled ‘anti-Israelism’ at Columbia…
