The First Amendment protects the right to protest but students also have a right to learn in an environment free from harassment or violence. At Columbia or on any campus, threatening Jewish students with violence or glorifying the terror of October 7 is antisemitism.
@GovKathyHochul If Jewish students are pogromed in an American university on your watch Gov Hochul, history won’t be kind to you. Call the national guard.
Tweet after tweet, all I see is “threatening” and “antisemitism”. Yet, not one has shown where Jewish students have actually been threatened, and not one defines what is antisemitism. Criticizing Israel is not antisemitism. Calling to divest from Israel isn’t antisemitism. That’s where you are losing us.
@GovKathyHochul Peaceful protest
@GovKathyHochul Call in the National Guard - before someone gets killed!
@GovKathyHochul So what are you going to do about it?
@GovKathyHochul You do realize it's going to require more action than a tweet, right?
@GovKathyHochul Sooooo, what are you going to do about it other than post on X?
@GovKathyHochul So the best and only thing you are doing about it is tweeting. Disgusting Disgraceful FAIL
