The latest in campus antisemitism horror has seen Jewish students at Cornell dehumanized and threatened with death. “If i see a pig male jew i will stab you and slit your throat,” read one threat, posted online on a Greek life website; “eliminate Jewish living from Cornell campus,” read another. A third vile message read “gonna shoot up 104 west,” referring to the kosher dining hall on campus.
The university has responded by making the usual noises about not tolerating antisemitism — but has cravenly advised staff and students to avoid that dining hall. In other words, the school caved to the hate-spewers, taking a step toward precisely what one demanded: the elimination of Jewish living from the Cornell campus. Hardly a shock, given that this is the same school that employed historian Russell Rickford — who found the Hamas terror attacks “exhilarating” and “energizing.” The surge of antisemitic, pro-terror activities across elite colleges seems to face no real opposition from the adults nominally in charge.
