Since everything in American private universities is about cash, clearly the Ivy League has counted the dollars it gets from various sources and decided there is more money to be had pandering to Jew Haters than to squelching evil on campus.
Below I copy completely an article from the Jerusalem Post along with one from The College Fix.
Both focus on a Jew Hater named Joseph Massad, a professor at Columbia University who is on the record repeatedly praising the evil massacre, gang rapes and hostage-taking of October 7th.
Joseph is teaching a class on Zionism next semester. Oh, my. I guess The Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan will be teaching a graduate seminar on the Black American Experience soon.

Columbia adjunct professor resigns after academic who praised October 7 to teach Zionism course
Professor Lawrence Rosenblatt sent a resignation letter to the Columbia administration in response to professor Joseph Massad's course on Zionism.
A Columbia University adjunct professor announced his resignation on Monday in response to aJerusalem Post report that an academic who praised the October 7 Massacre will be teaching a course on Zionism.
International and public affairs adjunct professor Lawrence Rosenblatt sent a resignation letter to the Columbia administration in response to professor Joseph Massad's scheduled teaching of the undergraduate course, History of the Jewish Enlightenment in 19th century Europe and the development of Zionism.
"I hereby resign my position as a member of the Columbia University faculty, effective immediately," said Rosenblatt. Massad "has advocated for the destruction of the State of Israel and celebrated the October 7 attacks."
Rosenblatt said that having Massad, who authored an October 8 Electronic Intifada article positively describing Hamas operations as "astounding" and retaliatory, teach a course on Zionism was "akin to having a White Nationalist teach about the US Civil Rights movement and the struggle for Black equality, or having a climate denier teach about the impact of global warming, or a misogynist teach about Feminism."
"While Massad has a right to think what he thinks, and speak what he believes, Columbia has a responsibility to teach objectively and fairly," wrote Rosenblatt. "At best perhaps one could tolerate a class on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict co-taught from the many diverse Israeli and Palestinian perspectives, though not by someone who advocates for the eradication of a group of people."
Massad wrote that "the major achievement of the resistance in the temporary takeover of these settler-colonies is the death blow to any confidence that Israeli colonists had in their military and its ability to protect them."
"In the interest of safeguarding their lives and their children’s future, the colonists’ flight from these settlements may prove to be a permanent exodus," said Massad. "They may have finally realized that living on land stolen from another people will never make them safe."
Rosenblatt said that the past 15 months he had continued to teach at Columbia, which has been the locus of the anti-Israel encampment protests, because he believed the values of the institution were not the same as the destructive values of some students and staff.
"Columbia has lost not only its moral compass, but its intellectual one," said Rosenblatt. "The institution of Columbia, in officially sanctioning this class and this professor, has harmed the Academy it once was. As it is gone, I cannot remain. My hope is that Columbia will correct this travesty, and if so, I would be open to returning."
Rosenblatt is not tenured faculty, and was not scheduled to teach during the spring semester.
Massad’s course drew criticism from the Israeli embassy in the US on Saturday, which questioned on X how many students the professor had "managed to indoctrinate."
‘The course…directly creates an environment of hate and bigotry against Jewish students,’ one Jewish advocate said.
Columbia University will offer a course on “Zionism” in spring 2025 taught by a professor who described terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel as “awesome.”
Titled Palestinian-Israeli POLIT/SOC, the course covers “The History of the Jewish Enlightenment (Haskala) in 19th century Europe and the development of Zionism through the current peace process between the state of Israel and the Arab states and the Palestinian national movement.” It is intended to provide an overview of the “Zionist-Palestinian” conflict, according to the course description.
The professor assigned to teach the course is Joseph Massad, who also instructs Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia. Massad is known for writing an article for The Electronic Intifada the day after the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel, in which he described the event as “astounding,” “incredible,” and a “stunning victory.”
A rabbi criticized Professor Massad in an emailed comment to The College Fix.
Yaakov Menken, director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, said, “Joseph Massad does not belong on the faculty of any serious academic institution.”
“He believes that rape, beheading of babies, kidnapping, and mass murder are all legitimate ‘resistance’ to ‘Israeli settler-colonialism’— in other words because the victims are primarily Jews,” Menken said.
He also criticized Columbia for allowing Massad to teach the course because it is focused on a revisionist history in which a European “colonialist moniker, ‘Palestinian,’ applies uniquely to a subset of Arabs and excludes Jews.”
“The course, being antisemitic incitement from beginning to end, directly creates an environment of hate and bigotry against Jewish students,” Menken told The Fix.
“If it does not cancel the course, Columbia proves it deserves no federal funding…” he said.
Similarly, columnist and MIT student Eyal Yakoby wrote, “American higher education continues to show the country that it is both filled with radicals and a waste of money” on X.
George Mason University law Professor Adam Mossoff also condemned the course in a post on X, stating, “This means @Columbia university will now hire members of the Nazi party to teach the history of World War II and KKK members to teach post-Civil War history.”
“It’s exactly the same as having an explicit pro-Hamas supporter and cheerleader for October 7 teach about Zionism,” he stated.
In response, many have rallied behind an online petition that condemns Massad’s comments in his The Electronic Intifada article and demands his removal from the university.
In the article, Massad wrote, “The sight of the Palestinian resistance fighters storming Israeli checkpoints separating Gaza from Israel was astounding.”
“No less awesome were the scenes witnessed by millions of jubilant Arabs who spent the day watching the news, of Palestinian fighters from Gaza breaking through Israel’s prison fence or gliding over it by air,” he wrote.
The petition has garnered nearly 80,000 signatures and claims that many students “feel unsafe in the presence of a professor who supports the horrific murders of civilians.”
“We call on Columbia University to hold Massad responsible for his comments and immediately remove him from the Columbia faculty,” the petition reads.
Earlier this year, Columbia University President Minouche Shafik told Congress that Professor Massad had been reprimanded and removed from his position on the Academic Review Committee. However, Massad remains in good standing and has denied being punished after his Oct. 8 op-ed, The Fixpreviously reported.
The Yavneh Board, the Orthodox student community on Columbia’s campus, told The Fix that it does not “wish to comment” at this time.
Professor Massad, Columbia University, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the school’s Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies, the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, the Middle Eastern Studies Association, and Koach, the Traditional-Egalitarian community of Conservative Jewish students at Columbia, did not respond to multiple requests for comment about the course.
The moral and intellectual front of WW3 is playing out before our very eyes. The presidents of Ivy League schools “need more context” before deciding to condemn Jew Hatred on their quadrangles and now cannot even be bothered to forbid an entire class based on vilifying Jews.
In rational, moral places like Florida, terrorist organizations like “Students for Justice in Palestine” have been made illegal. There are almost no incidents of Jew Hatred - or no more than pre-7 October 2023 baseline normal - on any Florida college campuses or in our streets.
The same goes for all States which have not violated their citizens’ Second Amendment rights. I wonder if that has something to do with the absence of keffiyeh dress up, face-hiding pussies chanting “Death to the Jews!” which has become commonplace in Canada and Democrat-run States and cities.
There is a fresh Purge coming, to rid our universities of this Marxist Jew Hating propaganda. Joe McCarthy had the right idea. He just lacked follow through and commitment. Fortunately, those are qualities many of us have in abundance.
