Campus Antisemitism: Condemnation, Concerns, and Tensions Amidst Israel-Hamas Conflict

Shai Davidai, a Columbia Business School assistant professor, has criticized Columbia University's leadership for remaining silent on Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel and accused the media of biased coverage. Davidai, who went viral after calling out the university president, expressed his disappointment in the administration's lack of response and highlighted the broader issue of antisemitism on college campuses. He also criticized media outlets for quickly moving on from the atrocities committed by Hamas. Davidai emphasized the need for accountability and defended his stance as pro-Palestine but anti-Hamas. Over 100 Columbia professors have signed a letter defending students who supported Hamas' actions, while Davidai expressed shock at their failure to mention Hamas in their statement.
