Supporting Palestine: Columbia University facing criticism
Demonstrators in support of Palestinians are still camped on the Columbia University campus in New York, a week after police arrested over 100 of them. The action has attracted international attention, sympathy demonstrations across the country and controversy.

Criticizing Israel for its genocide that it is committing in Gaza is not antisemitic Israel is a country, Judaism is a religion don’t mix the two together those students have every right to protest against a Zionist regime in Israel.

Support who you want. It's your right. And Americans can have a say how there tax dollars are spent.
Different types of REAL antisemitism: True antisemitism: hate of all Jewish people, specifically for their faith, culture, and/or ethnicity. Antisemitism by proxy: hate of Israel’s actions, unfairly extrapolated to all Jewish people. *This is an important one because, while the antisemitic sentiment is real, it does not come from an antisemitic place; but rather from a place of outrage against Israel’s actions. If Israel were to stop their human rights violations, this goes away. What antisemitism ISN’T: protests and criticism of Israel for their egregious crimes against humanity.

It is not antisemitic but protest against genocide against palestine.
This is the equivalent of people claiming the Allied Forces and the Soviet Union were committing genocide in Berlin in 1945.
Stop the Genocide. I'm deeply grateful to everyone here for organizing this historic rally in solidarity with Gaza and Palestine. Your passion reflects our shared connection to their struggle. Despite devastating bombings and losses, the people of Gaza remain resilient, their spirit unbroken. It's heartbreaking to see innocent civilians, especially children, suffer. Yet, they continue to fight for dignity, humanity, and the right to exist. We stand united against any compromise on Palestinian rights and condemn those who betray their cause. Let us draw strength from our faith and unity all over the world for the sake of humanity, to support the Palestinian cause and oppose tyranny and oppression.

Who is he to call on someone to resign? He need to focus on his job. Why are universities funding other countries to begin with? If I were a student I'd want to know if my tuition was going towards non educational purposes as well.
The term Antisemetic has been for so long accepted to mean, a hatred of jews. We forgot "Semetic" is a term used by scholars referring to a group of languages spoken, or to the many people who speak them. Among those, is Hebrew spoken by jews and another, among others, is Arabic, spoken by Arabs. So you see, hating Arabs, it may be argued, is antisemetic as well. Modern usage has the term committed to meaning, a hatred to jews, only one of the many semetic people. So, do you see why the Hamas (Arab) attack on Israelis (Jews) cannot have been motivated by antisemitism.

In accordance with our Constitution, the students have a right to protest: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Protesting Israeli policy and US involvement is not anti- semitism.

Renowned Canadian Jewish author and columnist Naomi Klein called for an "exodus from Zionism," denouncing the ideology as a "false idol" that has strayed from the core values of Judaism, in an op-ed for The Guardian. In her piece, Klein used biblical allegory to draw attention to the recent conflict between Israel and Gaza, condemning Zionism for turning the "transcendent idea of the promised land" into a "deed of sale for a militaristic ethnostate." Klein's piece directly challenged the traditional view of Zionism as a movement for Jewish liberation, instead portraying it as an ideology that has justified oppression, colonialism, and violence in the name of Jewish safety.
