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.
Annoying.
“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.
What a jerk.
Come again?
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
are part of this guy’s excitement?
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.
there has to be a zillion jews at Cornell....Cornell and Ithaca College nearby.....so where are they?
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.
You are absolutely correct!
Antisemitism is rampant among blacks.
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 - what a sick leftist joke.
Cornell’s alumnus might do something, like refuse to write more checks while Professor Bloodlust remains in the faculty with tenior.
He looks like another BLM bandit
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?
