Cornell University has invited Jew-bashing entertainer Kehlani to perform on campus May 7 — defending the move as just giving its students what they want.
Kehlani has a music video that starts with, “Long live the Intifada” — an inflammatory phrase that critics say promotes violence against Israelis and Jews — shared a map online that eliminates the state of Israel and refused to condemn Hamas for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre.
The invite to the multi-Grammy Award-nominated R&B artist comes after the Trump administration froze $1 billion in federal funding to the upstate Ivy League school amid a civil-rights probe over whether it failed to prevent antisemitic discrimination and harassment on campus.
“Kehlani isn’t just an artist with controversial views — she is someone who has publicly glorified violence against Jews and consistently promoted dangerous, antisemitic rhetoric that directly threatens our community,” said disgusted Cornell student Amanda Silberstein.
“For a university that claims to value inclusion and the safety for all students, this decision is not just tone-deaf — it’s profoundly alienating,” said Silberstein, a 21-year-old junior who is president of the Chabad Center at the school and vice president of the group Cornell for Israel.
“By inviting someone with such a deeply troubling history of antisemitism to headline one of our most high-profile campus events, Cornell is sending a message that Jewish safety and wellbeing are negotiable,” she said.
The watchdog group StopAntisemitism agreed that the invitation is beyond the pale and previously highlighted the performer’s anti-Israel and antisemitic views in a July 12, 2024, post.
Kehlani supports the terrorist regime Hamas “under the guise of ‘resistance,’ ” the group said.

we are in danger in America today
one indicator is the Nazification on these college campuses
it was from the then-warped world of the campus, academia that the original Nazis got much of their support in the 1930/40’s
history either repeats or at least it sure rhymes
How much tax payer money do we send them?
Cornell is low for allowing this.
