The Intifada Targets Campus Leadership
James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal ^ | July 8, 2026 | A.J. Caschetta

The leadership of the “Student Intifada,” the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), has escalated its war against normalcy and decency in academia. Its incrementalist approach to taking over every campus (as it has haughtily claimed is inevitable) began with targeting students, moved on to targeting faculty, and has now put university presidents and trustees in its cross hairs. The following cases represent only a subset of their recent activities.

Cornell University President Targeted

The post-October 7 attacks against Jewish students are well-known and widely-documented. So too are efforts to isolate and stigmatize Jewish and Zionist faculty members. Only recently, however, has the focus on university presidents become apparent.

For many observers, it began in April 2026, when Cornell University President Michael Kotlikoff found himself the target of his anti-Israel student body after he refused to play along with their antics following a debate at the Cornell Political Union.

Video footage shows the president walking to his car, badgered by students making demands and treating him like their employee instead of the president of an Ivy League school. Eventually they surround his car and try to block his egress by standing in his path. As he slowly backs up, one student shouts that the president ran over his foot.

President Kotlikoff rightly called it “harassment and intimidation.”

We are just now learning that in the Spring 2024 semester, the University of Michigan’s Student Intifada targeted university officials, including the university’s president, Santa Ono, as well as its provost, members of the board of regents and their places of business, and the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit.

On June 10, 2026, the Department of Justice unsealed indictments of eight of the student leaders.

And even more sad, 95% of these useful idiots have no idea what they’re talking about.

Don’t forget the basic cowardice of the school’s governing board! Ultimately they are responsible!
