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.

Pretty sad when the college's Christmas help is given a voice.
Somebody tell him it wasn’t a movie ...
Academia is a cesspool.
Concur your #2.
What Hamas did to the Jews, Democrats will do to us.
If the muzzies win, the chains go back on blacks. The blacks just don’t realize that yet.
Oh, yes. They will also learn the meaning of the term ‘eunuch’.
Almost all of these “top tier” schools, which incidentally, are the alma maters of most of the people in government, are hot beds of radical marxism. It’s no wonder our country is so screwed up; It’s been run by far left politicians and bureaucrats since the early 1900’s. LORD have mercy on us!
Cornell might do something about it - give him a raise.
True. Easy to hate a tiny minority that’s smarter than they are.
I am a graduate school alum and a (soon to be former) donor. I have made my views known to the university in no uncertain terms.
I suspect that many patriots have a list (as in Koko’s list from the Mikado) with the details of those who won’t be missed. And the left better not start going full war footing or some of the mouthier ones would get an unwelcome surprise.
What would go a long way to defusing the situation would be getting rid of qualified immunity for police and especially prosecutors so that the could be sued if they violated your rights. If there is no downside to them if they violate your rights, you really don’t have any rights. If you have no legal recourse when you’ve been wronged by government well that’s why the Democrats are so hell bent on disarming us and rendering us defenseless.
Likewise except I quit donating a long time ago.
Donors should stop donating.
And it isn’t just ivy league, either.
What would be truly energizing and exciting would be if some individual of Jewish descent terminated his employment.
Easy to talk 💩 when you’re thousands if miles away eh, assclown? 🖕.

He has an orgasm when he cuts himself
I checked out his Wiki page and he was brought up in a high-tiered academic famity and most likely has never wanted for anything, or done a day’s worth of real work, in his life. If red diaper babies are still a thing, he had to have been one. Typical dead-souled leftist parasite. Wrap him in a double layer of Depends and drop him into Gaza. He’ll get so exhilarated pretty soon he’ll be beside himself.
As I’ve said: Universities have morphed from Institutes of Higher Learning into cesspools of disinformation and most of the professors, like this one, are just the turds filling up the cesspool.
