The radical Cornell University prof who lauded the Hamas terror attack on Israel as “exhilarating” and “energizing” dodged any punishment and is now back teaching at the upstate Ivy League school.
Shamed history Professor Russell Rickford was out for the past year on “voluntary leave” after widespread public outcry when he was recorded at an off-campus anti-Israel rally cheering Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, invasion that slaughtered 1,200 Israelis.
““It was exhilarating, it was energizing ….I was exhilarated,” Rickford said at the time — before apologizing for applauding the mass murder of innocent civilians.
...
Rickford is now teaching at least two courses at Cornell this semester — African Americans Vision of America and Socialism in America — and a seminar.
...
Cornell confirmed in a statement to The Post on Sunday that the university did not discipline Rickord for his hateful remarks.

Cornell, though a private university, receives $127 million in state funding to help fund the four State University of New York schools it operates

Antisemitism has been so widespread on New York’s college campuses since the Mideast war began that Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered the state’s former chief judge, Jonathan Lippman, to conduct an independent review of the situation. His report is expected to be released within weeks.
As for Rickford, upstate Rep. Claudia Tenney said she is sending a letter to Cornell interim President Michael Kotlikoff to protest his return.
“I am deeply disgusted by Cornell’s decision to continue employing Mr. Rickford after his horrific statements that celebrated the murder of innocent people and incited violence,”
...
The protests aren’t going away. Anti-Israel vandals defaced a campus building on the first day of classes last month.

Send him to a Gaza tunnel.
Total ‘tard.
High above Cayuga’s waters, there’s an awefull smell…
Fropressor Russell Whackjob.
Does he have a pager?
As expected. Just another day in the City of Evil.
Let’s give him a free pager. I picked it up in Lebanon cheap.
We can hope.
Come on, Mossad. Do your job.
2001 is becoming a while back.
Nothing to forget.
Too bad my memory is unlikely to go beyond 100 years…
Send Rickford a pager. If not that then send him a Candy Gram for Mongo.
Something tells me he is probably staying away from phones, pagers and other technology..../s
Let him ruminate.

The man is a very bright person, but a atheistic Marxist racist.
It’s always a shame to see such intellect used for evil.

Let’s perform a science experiment. Let’s see what falls faster from the new World Trade Center—a dumbbell named Rickford or a set of 2 metal balls attached by a bar running between them. How utterly despicable that a state funded institution of higher learning has a position open to employ such a morally bankrupt-—set on ZERO-—’tard to instruct young minds.
