What This Jewish Professor At Columbia Wants You To Know

For over seven months, a dominant conversation in the U.S. news media has been about alleged and increased antisemitism on American campuses - culminating in the coverage around student encampments. The “Gaza solidarity encampment” at Columbia University, in particular, has received a lot of attention which sparked encampments across the country -- as well as university-backed police repression and violence. In this interview, AJ+ speaks to Dr. Bruce Robbins, a Jewish professor at Columbia University who supported students protesting Columbia University’s investments in companies and programs that uphold Israeli apartheid and the genocide in Gaza.

They can call you antisemitic but they can never call you a liar! Lies is what they stand on!

Minouche Shafik is a sell out and this Jewish professor is a legend and on the right side of history

[pawshands]

This country won't acknowledge the genocide occupation. Any honorable Jew would never accept this in their name. I stand with humanity...I STAND FOR PALESTINE ❤❤❤

[ismailmookadam]

Thank you, Professor, for standing for what is right

[barzdinstone]

What a gross double standard, thank you for speaking out.

Dear Professor, Dr. Bruce Robbins, THANK YOU for speaking up, for speaking out!

Thank you professor Chris for your humanity and speaking up against the ongoing massacring of Palestinians by Israel.

Thank you Professor. As a boomer Jew, I agree with you.

Can't pull the wool over this mans eyes - very powerful

Thank you, Professor! You're on the right side of history.

Protesting against a brutal genocide and 75 yrs Apartheid and occupation is a moral responsibility.

[Rades]

Shafik must resign. She does not have the moral leadership skills needed to be the president of an Ivy League university that is known for activism and social justice.

[anjanit]

Thank you, Professor. Free Palestine!

[barbaraeslick]

As a 55 year old white woman from Alabama I proudly stand with the people of Palestine and the student protests. People have forgotten or never learned the true value of peaceful protests in this country.

[aamiin_yarabbal_alamiin]

Thank you to all students and professors of the world for being brave and for being human supporting the Palestinians. You showed us there are still humanity on this planet. Take care.

[salimbaasba]

I still can't believe this is happening in this century
