Another deranged comment from this fellow, who appears to be protected by Columbia Univ. administration. Whereas anti-Zionist teachers are fired for opposing Israel's genocide - this clownshoe says actual crazy shit regularly without so much as a reproach.

Oh you should see the Columbia reddit page. It is bad enough that it has made me lose any interest in attempting to transfer there after they reached out to me. Obviously it is still difficult for a broke non-legacy like me to get into, but you honestly could not pay me to go there now. I'll stick to my non-ultra-zionist state university, tyvm

That said, imagine how this guy would act if they tried to fire him. It's like staying in an abusive relationship because you're sure they'll kill you if you try to break up with them. Davidai is the sort of zealot that authorities should have their eye on

Fwiw, speaking as an alum who posts there semi-regularly, most people on that page (at least, commenting on the posts related to Israel or Palestine) have nothing to do with Columbia. Everyone I know who’s a current or former student thinks Shai Davidai is an embarrassment. Also, keep in mind that last year’s encampment started after Columbia College (and Barnard College) voted in favor of divestment from Israel (and non-Israeli companies that back the occupation) by a pretty huge margin. The actual student body (and many if not most faculty) is pretty firmly pro-Palestine, even if they may not connect with some of the harsher rhetoric CUAD has adopted recently. Unfortunately Columbia admin sucks, and that’s always been the case.

Imagine having your university sub Reddit brigaded. What a fucking nightmare. What do you do? create a new sub Reddit only for people with a Columbia email address? What a drag
