Okay everyone. You'll all be pleased to hear that I'm going to be off this site for the duration of Passover. Bye.
Outside the Columbia campus some asshole wearing a mask is harassing Jewish students. Scumbags like these always turn up at protests and try to hijack them and sow division. I hope someone will unmask him and make him fuck off.

Everyone should read this and take it seriously. Especially the last paragraph, which applies as much to Columbia faculty as to Columbia students.

Oy Oy Oy. I have been going to this shul for the high holidays for over a decade. Rabbi Kanofsky, a student of Elie Wiesel, is a treasure. Painful to see this. 💔

They hate Jews so much. It’s unreal.

This is really awesome advice for contingent and non-tenured folks. But tenure in fact has a very good track record of protecting careers. Penn can’t even get rid of Amy Wax. Paranoia is far too normalized in academia, *especially* among the tenured. It’s an excuse for cowardice.

Well that backfired.
I think that if you screamed “assault!” at someone for draping her arm around another person’s shoulder at a Berkeley garden party, you should have the good taste to wait more than a week before laughing at a pro-Israel activist getting smashed in the face outside Columbia.
I was on a thread the other day where someone quite smart and who I respect a lot told me that pro-Palestinian activists, unlike Zionists, aren't wishing death on their opponents. I knew he was wrong but didn't have an example handy at that precise moment. I'll bookmark this.

A good way to show solidarity with Prof. Nadera is to read and share her academic work. Here are a few recommendations:
1/ The arrest of Prof. Nadera Dhalhoub Kevorkian, an arrest made because of academic articles she published, has been thrown out by a lower court judge. Advocates of individual liberties were aghast at the attmepted curtailing of academic freedom and rallied to her defense. --->
She had A heart—how shall I say?— too soon made glad, Too easily impressed; she liked whate’er She looked on, and her looks went everywhere. Sir, ’twas all one!

Straightforward assault. I watched the longer clip and the police definitely arrested the wrong guy. My understanding is he’s been released, thankfully. But yeah, this attack was totally unprovoked.

Nadera Hearing: The judge ordered Nadera's release with 2k bail from her and a third party.

931K Followers 800 Following OSINT guy, PAI enjoyer, journalist @hntrbrkmedia, my views/freezing cold takes are my own. Standard spiel about not endorsing retweets, likes, and comments.Outside the Columbia campus some asshole wearing a mask is harassing Jewish students. Scumbags like these always turn up at protests and try to hijack them and sow division. I hope someone will unmask him and make him fuck off.
Jewish students get harassed trying to leave @Columbia’s campus tonight. You can hear someone yell “Yehudim Yehudim”- “Jews Jews.” They curse and yell “go back to Poland.” Antisemitism has become the new normal here.
These actions will lead to a smearing campaign against all pro-Palestine protests as antisemitic. We have a responsibility to call out this behavior to ensure the integrity of our protests.
Jewish students get harassed trying to leave @Columbia’s campus tonight. You can hear someone yell “Yehudim Yehudim”- “Jews Jews.” They curse and yell “go back to Poland.” Antisemitism has become the new normal here.
The lack of clarity on this is a huge problem, and one that could be mitigated by students at the on-campus protests disavowing such actions.
Noting that I have no way of knowing, for sure, whether any of the people who fomented and enacted actual violence on campus last night were Columbia students. Based on how student and non-student protesters have acted in past, it seems more likely that most were not students.
An update on the dynamics of physical safety for Jewish students on and around Columbia’s campus, opinions my own:
This is really awesome advice for contingent and non-tenured folks. But tenure in fact has a very good track record of protecting careers. Penn can’t even get rid of Amy Wax. Paranoia is far too normalized in academia, *especially* among the tenured. It’s an excuse for cowardice.
Speaking out while working for a #university ? Some tips to protect your career— cuz neither tenure nor the union will be enough. (1) Put a copy of every file & email you care about your *own* computer or cloud. Do not leave anything valuable solely on university computing.
Visited the Walnut St Shul where my father’s family first attended when they came to America. My great grandfather was a founder. Sat in his seat- still marked!- a beautiful relic of the Jews of Chelsea MA:
A lot of people telling me he humbly plays it straight so the guest can shine
@credenzaclear2 Really admirable of him to suppress his natural magnetism behind a facade that says “what if a guy with CTE was addicted to benzos”
1/ The arrest of Prof. Nadera Dhalhoub Kevorkian, an arrest made because of academic articles she published, has been thrown out by a lower court judge. Advocates of individual liberties were aghast at the attmepted curtailing of academic freedom and rallied to her defense. --->
Faculty at elite universities around the country have ceded their governing authority to administration in exchange for crumbs, smoke, and mirrors. What surprise is it that those same admins don’t even bother asking for permission anymore?
Exec committee of Columbia Univ Senate—the body that the President should consult pursuant to Section 444—did “not approve the presence of NYPD on our campus at this time,” Shafik "consulted" but did not gain agreement & then invited in NYPD riot squad. columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/1…
suspending students was a bad overreaction for protest in a public place
Columbia Professor Rebecca Jordan-Young: "The faculty who are supporting the students do not all agree on the issue of Israel and Palestine...[but] we are astonished and disgusted with the way the university has cracked down on the students."
Among the new demands issued by student "Berkeley Law for Palestine" group after Chemerinsky/Fisk dinner: Correct Erwin Chemerinsky's understanding of the First Amendment.
