Absolutely vile. The scary thing is that he had no qualms about saying something so disgusting because he knows Cornell will do nothing about it.

A Cornell University professor was caught on camera telling students Hamas’ terror attack on Israel — which has left more than 1,400 dead — was “exhilarating” and “energizing.”
The remarks were made at a pro-Palestine protest by Russell Rickford, an associate professor of history at the top-tier Ithaca, New York, school and posted online Sunday by a student who called them “shameful.”
The footage of Rickford’s impassioned speech was also shared with The Post by two other tipsters. They declined to say when and where exactly the rally took place, but both said they were shocked by the brazen remarks.
The prof said the coordinated Oct. 7 attack, in which militants broke through concrete walls and paraglided into Israel to indiscriminately murdered civilians “shifted the balance of politics and punctured the illusion of invincibility” of Israel, which has imposed a blockade on the Gaza Strip since terrorist group Hamas seized power there in 2007.
“That’s what they’ve done. You don’t have to be a Hamas supporter to recognize it,” he said.

Never hire Ivy. These schools need to be shuttered. Former graduates should file class action law suits to bankrupt them. Republicans, beginning with this year’s appropriations bills should fully defund all colleges and universities. No grants. No nothing. Not a dime.

Hamas’ Advanced Weaponry: Rockets, Artillery, Drones, Cyber
EXCERPT:
In the 11 days of the 2021 war, Hamas launched 400 rockets a day, nearly four times the daily average number of launches in 2014. Hamas also launched six suicide drones during the war. All were intercepted by Israel, some by classified means.

HAMAS UNDERSEA NAVAL COMMANDOS
EXCERPTS:
The IDF identified a Hamas naval base already in 2016, before announcing the sea tunnel [discovered in 2018]. An investigation showed that it was financed “with funds siphoned from the United Nations Development Agency (UNDP).”
“Hamas has invested a lot of resources in the construction of this tunnel,” a senior Israeli Navy officer said. “We consider it a ‘blue tunnel’—from land to sea. The Hamas commando unit has dozens of fighters, with civilian diving equipment that allows undetected movement underwater,” he continued. “Such measures are effective in the three kilometers between the tunnel and the border.”
As late as May 2021, Israeli naval and intelligence officials expressed concerns over commando units infiltrating from Gaza into Israel, as they did in the July 2014 war.
[August 1, 2021], after the 2021 Gaza conflict, evidence suggests that Hamas imported weapons through an underwater tunnel on the Mediterranean coast. The “stevedores” tasked with unloading the submersed arms deliveries were Hamas naval commandos, numbering some 400 divers. The underwater “dock” may have even hooked up with the “Metro” tunnel system beneath the promenade so that arms shipments could be directed to the appropriate al Qassam units.

Almost as much fun as a 5 gallon can of KY Jelly, right chief?
He knows as long as he’s a Commie Dem he can say whatever he wants and get away with it..besides, that is the belief of at least half the Dem party so he knows he’s in good company
Affirmative action “perfesers” are the worse types.
Hamas violence on Israel is porn for academia leftists who don’t know what Hamas really is. They are just jealous they can’t just kill their political opposition too.
What is this? A recruitment speech to encourage Muslims to join the ongoing race war in this country?
All this blathering from the campuses …. They can dress it up however they want in 21st century newspeak but it all boils down to plain old Jew-hatred. Why I wonder has this hatred persisted for centuries, even millennia? Envy pure and simple. I hope if and when the time comes I have the courage to join the right side.
BLACKS HAVE NO LAWS!!!
May Russell Rickford be similarly ‘exhilarated and excited’ up close and personal.
Just another democrat voting asshole.
They try anything that they can spew to attempt to rationalize the murdering, raping and kidnapping, but all of their lame ass excuses fall flat to any honest person.
Of course he’s black. I you think that’s racist too bad.
Video Cornell University professor calls Hamas terror attack ‘exhilarating’ and ‘exciting’
“exhilarating” and “energizing.”
Words fail.
It's not just the prof. Let's take a step back and look at the university, their faculty and their board.
Institutions of Higher Indoctrination are about to see what REAL ‘cancel culture’ (i.e. cancelled big-$$$ donations) feels like.
ALL of his students must learn the Nazi salute.
When will FR let us give likes?
A written like to your comment.
They want to kill us. They think that they will soon be able to.
When their anti Christ temporarily takes control their opponents will be guillotined. One can see it coming.
Their victory will be short lived. Then it will be off to the eternal flames for them.
cornell alumni need to cease ALL donations instantly en mass ...
