A pro-Palestine group at UC Berkeley is proudly hosting Hamas sympathizer and former Columbia professor Mohamed Abdou the day before the 3rd anniversary of the Oct. 7 attacks.

The university confirmed to the California Post that Abdou will appear via Zoom before a group of students in an on-campus event space. He’s also set to appear before Claremont College students on Oct. 7.

Abdou is infamous for writing on social media, just days after the Oct. 7 attacks, that he is “with Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.” The post led to his firing from Columbia University.

The controversial professor is currently on his “Death to the Akademy” tour launched earlier this year.

And he’s already stirred up controversy with more anti-American and pro-jihad comments. “Be proud of your hate for America,” Abdou said over Zoom to NYU students.

“You love Islam, and you should be loving Islam more than this barbarous colony. It’s a plague upon the Earth. And yes, in that sense, you need to be a threat. We all need to be a threat,” he added.

He even encouraged those attending to seek martyrdom. “If we are to meet Muhammad, then our blood serves as a testimony,” he said. “We do not fear death.”

The DNC's Hamas wing sure has been taking it on the chin lately.

“Hamas-backing professor...”

Kind of redundant - just saying ‘professor’ would make it clear that the person supports the genocide of Jews.

[frank ballenger]

Did anyone really think the types like that terrorist loving professor would be sensitive and compassionate to opponents?

Fuhhhhhggggedddaboutit.

And now the new word of the day: Islam is to be execrated.

[Uncle Miltie]

There is no “Claremont College”.

There are “The Claremont Colleges”, a consortium of Pomona, Pitzer, Scripps, Harvey Mudd and Claremont McKenna Colleges.

There is “Claremont McKenna College” itself, of which I am an alumnus.

But I’m trying to figure out who sponsored this dude, because “Claremont College” doesn’t exist.

I had to look up execrate.

To denounce, loathe, detest.

Denounce, loathe and detest Islam.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Does Pitzer even count? (sarcasm, kinda) Always forgot about it...except on Saturday mornings when their dining hall opened earlier than Collins.
