A Columbia University freshman who wrote an article praising the arrest and possible deportation of campus agitator Mahmoud Khalil was almost immediately besieged with unhinged messages from fellow students calling him “Zionist scum” and urging him to kill himself.
Lucca Ruggieri’s March 18 commentary in the Wall Street Journal voiced full-throated support for President Trump’s efforts to oust troublemakers like Khalil from campus — while questioning how someone who “harbors hostilities” toward American values was even admitted to the prestigious school in the first place.
“It’s like little kids. You say one thing that hurts their feelings, and they have a temper tantrum,” Ruggieri told The Post Thursday. “This is not the sort of person that one of our top institutions should be admitting.”
Ruggieri, 19, an economics major from Pennsylvania who eyed elite institutions like Yale and Harvard before deciding on Columbia, said he did so because it’s “an Ivy League school basically in the center of the universe” — despite its reputation as a “politically controversial place.”
Within hours of the article’s publication, Ruggieri said the rage started flooding in on Sidechat — an anonymous messaging app for Ivy League schools, which requires a student email address to use.
“Someone said, ‘Can we please end this Zionist scum,’ ‘We need to place a fatwa on him.’ Other people sent me messages saying to kill myself, those sort of things,” he said.
A fatwa is a formal ruling issued under Islamic law which, in some cases, is a call for a death sentence.
Someone even took the time to Photoshop his head onto a Nazi SS officer’s body.

They think they should never lose. As Justice Thomas observed.
It’s way past time these jerks pay a heavy, painful price.
The density of dunces at Columbia appear to be approaching critical mass. Encase those clowns in lead before they produce a fission cloud of stupidity. Ship that case back to some backward country ruled by the religion of hate and lies.
wake up
its a war
right now its property
lets go pam, leagally rip their throats out
We are at war.
Why on earth is Columbia receiving money from taxpayers in the first place? They have huge endowments of their own.
Cut their funding off. Every dollar of it.
Right back.
Right now.
But the former Jackass “judge”, John E. Jones III is worried about “somebody getting killed” because of the “rhetoric” being used by Americans against the black-robed DNC “pipe bombs” obstucting the Executive Branch of the Government WE THE PEOPLE elected. He’s a retard.
The simple truth is that Khalil would love to kill Jews if he could but thinks he can better serve his murderous masters by organizing others to kill them.
Time for another Kent State.
Well, Lucca, now you know: that “ivy League school” you thought was “at the center of the universe” turned out to be an academic black hole.
Didn't the student side fire first? Things went pell mell from there.
They were throwing rocks.
You should note that I am giving reference fo what I wrote -- and rocks are dangerous weapons, too. Rocks can kill.
They also burned down an ROTC building. Should have been a LOT more than 4.
