The attorney of an anonymous Jewish Columbia student who is suing the university for allegedly not providing “a safe educational environment” says his client is having to deal with calls for genocide while attending school.
“There are straight-out calls for the genocide of Jews. This has happened because of complacency and appeasement by our academic institutions,” Jay Edelson, who is representing the student, told NewNation’s Leland Vittert on “On Balance.”
Edelson said it’s “fine” to debate how Israel should have responded to the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and other aspects of the war, but “what’s going on is something different.”
The student argues in the lawsuit that since the pro-Palestinian encampment went up two weeks ago, Jewish students have felt they are at an increased risk of harm or harassment.
“The encampment has been the center of round-the-clock harassment of Jewish students, who have been punched, shoved, spat upon, blocked from attending classes and moving freely about campus, and targeted by pro-terrorist hate speech –– both verbal and in written form on massive banners and signs –– with statements such as: ‘Death to the Jews’; ‘Long live Hamas’; ‘Globalize the Intifada,'” the lawsuit said.
The university has allowed classes to be attended online for the rest of the school year due to the unrest on campus, but that was an unacceptable resolution, according to the lawsuit.
“By implementing a hybrid learning approach, the university fails to address the underlying safety concerns while creating a stark divide in the educational experiences of Jewish and non-Jewish students,” it said.
Edelson said in the interview it is “insane” Columbia is negotiating with the student protesters and that this lawsuit fights back for Jewish students.
“The difference is, this isn’t the 1930s. We’re not in Germany. We’re going to stand up and we’re going to fight back. We filed this class action lawsuit, and we’re not going to sit by the sidelines. This is not going to happen again,” he said.
Well, I’ve seen more than a couple “final solution” signs, so I’d say this is obvious.
Didn’t take long to turn Nazi,did it?????
It ain’t Nazis. It’s more like Stalin and the Bolshevik Jews.
They must have pretty lax rules of decorum there if this is acceptable.
Whatever it takes. Cops, National Guard, water cannons, massive helicopter water drops, every single Hamasnazi tased, rubber bullets.
The FBI was willing to burn down the Koresh compound (no, I’m not suggesting tanks, though that didn’t stop MacArther in 1932), but Columbia and every other college is bowing down to the terrorists, when they should be attacking them with every means at their disposal.
Even Mayor Richard J. Daley knew how to take care of college thugs, and he was no friend of conservatives.
That’s right.
BTTT
Them boolets fly booth ways yall.
Sorry, I am anti-Clinton.
These people need a beat down. A good hard beatdown.
Look at this poor fellow just trying to go to class, and the mega a-holes won’t let him through. There need to be mass lawsuits against the people doing this. Hold them accountable... and the institutions allowing it to go on.

Hit me up for some sympathy when the Jews stop voting democrat in lockstep.
“If they mean to have a war, let it begin here.” - Co. John Parker, 1775.
That ship has sailed. It's our country that's being overtaken by Hamasnazi thugs and their leftist useful idiots. If you won't do it for Israel, do it for America.
That is pretty much anyone with differing views on society when leftists roll. How long until these idiots begin taking hostages? I say by Memorial Day they will have hostages in American cities as they demand (________) fill in the blank.
apparently there’s some confusion on who is and who isn’t a Nazi.
Meanwhile the economy burns.
There was also a call for Jewish kids to “Go back to Poland.” That stumped me, until another Freeper pointed out that the Auschwitz death camp is in Poland.
Who gives two shits about sympathy?
Do you realize those behind this are not your friends, regardless of how they feel about Jews?
