Jewish alumni rip Columbia University over antisemitic incidents, tell administration to 'do their job'
[NYPOST] Jewish graduates of Columbia University tore into their alma mater for allegedly failing to rein in antisemitism on campus — telling administrators they need to "do their job."
"Who could have ever imagined that Columbia University would be the site for rallies calling for Intifada, for swastikas scrawled on campus property and for Jewish students to be intimidated and followed as they walk home from class," said Matt Schweber, a member of the newly formed Columbia University Jewish Alumni Association.
"Our message today: enough is enough," Schweber said in a statement provided to The Post. "It must be stopped. The administration must do their job."
The alumni association also provided The Post with a link to video of what it called an unauthorized rally on campus last week, with hundreds of anti-Israel protesters chanting "intifada, intifada!" and "From the River to the Sea, Paleostine Will be Free!" Critics say the phrase calls for wiping the Jewish State of Israel off the map.
Others held BDS signs — the initials for the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against the Jewish State.
