Cornell University professor calls Hamas terror attack ‘exhilarating’ and ‘exciting’
NY Post ^ | 10/16/2023 | By Jesse O’Neill

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.

Board members and donors are going to pull money.

That may get the schools attention.

I read that 2 Harvard billionaire board members resigned. This needs to happen at all these schools. American schools need to stop turning away American students for foreigners. It's been going on way too long.

Since he finds it so titillating, maybe all those exciting things should be done to him too.

“cornell alumni need to cease ALL donations instantly”

I’m guessing that at least 50% of Cornell’s alumni age with this freak. It’s been a lib sh!thole for decades.

So today’s news photos of an entire Jewish family of five who were slaughtered in their home and another young woman abducted and now held hostage

Excellent ideas.

Like PBS and NPR there is no need to boost the high rollers of the Left academia. They’re rich and spreading more woke propaganda tonight.

U of Michigan’s current endowment (not tuition, housing and state aid income) is $17.3 billion.

“The university’s endowment climbed $325 million during the FY ‘22 to a market value of $17.3 billion as of June 30. The university’s long-term investment portfolio has a 20-year annualized return of 9.9%. Oct 20, 2022

Article headline in The University Record was:
University’s endowment saw modest growth in FY ‘22.

Cornell gave us the Hanoi Lobby of Prof. George McT. Kahin in something called the SE Asia Project or something like that in the late 60’s -/early 70s. The names of some of these proHanoi/Khmer Rouge include George Hildebrand and D. Gareth Gary Porter, someone named Doug, etc. Hildebrand wrote for the MARXIST weekly The Guardian, an American paper.

Disgusting weirdo. This country has a lot of them. Idiots with degrees they probably didn’t earn.

Marxists have been trying to take over this country’s universities since the 1960’s. It’s been a long slog, but now they’ve succeeded. I feel sorry for the serious students. The clowns running the show just want to use the school as their podium.

Cornell’s alumnus might do something, like refuse to write more checks while Professor Bloodlust remains in the faculty with tenior.

Need to go after the endowments.

If they leave those be while raiding our IRA’s and 401(k)’s to keep SSI solvent for a couple of years, makes for a pretty clear signal that they could give a rats furry butt about real people, hmmm?
