Cornell University professor calls Hamas terror attack 'exhilarating' and 'exciting'
2023-10-17
[NYPOST] A Cornell University professor was caught on camera telling students Hamas
...always the voice of sweet reason...
’ terror attack on Israel — which has left more than 1,400 dead — was "exhilarating" and "energizing."

The remarks were made at a pro-Paleostine protest by Russell Rickford, an associate professor of history
...gotta do something to make the ol’ CV stand out in these troubled times, and best to do it in way most acceptable to one’s peers. And besides, he’s a self-proclaimed anti-capitalist activist, which means Antifa, so he has a rep to maintain...
at the top-tier Ithaca, New York, school and posted online Sunday by a student who called them "shameful."

The footage of Rickford’s impassioned speech was also shared with The Post by two other tipsters. They declined to say when and where exactly the rally took place, but both said they were shocked by the brazen remarks.

The prof said the coordinated Oct. 7 attack, in which snuffies broke through concrete walls and paraglided into Israel to indiscriminately murdered civilians "shifted the balance of politics and punctured the illusion of invincibility" of Israel, which has imposed a blockade on the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip since terrorist group Hamas seized power there in 2007.

"That’s what they’ve done. You don’t have to be a Hamas supporter to recognize it," he said.

Associate professor doesn't have tenure. Now, will he be fired, or will this bring him tenure?
