Columbia Task Force Finally Weighs In: Yes, Anti-Zionism Is Antisemitism

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 23: People with signs demonstrate near Columbia University on May 23, 2024 in New York City. Demonstrators gathered to protest against New York Mayor Eric Adams’s association with wealthy business owners and investors calling for they city's student protest encampments to be disbanded. Several of New York's prominent business owners reportedly offered political donations to Mayor Adams in an effort to influence public opinion towards Israel, while others suggested payments for private investigators to aid the NYPD in handling the student protesters, according to a Washington Post investigation of conversations made via on-line chats. According to City Hall, the NYPD did not use any donations in their handling of the protesters. (Photo by John Lamparski/Getty Images)

The plan was not announced in any direct communications from the university. Rather, it was reported by Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

An anti-left, anti-Palestinian coalition has spent the past seven months, and the last few weeks in particular, manufacturing an entire alternate reality where the United States is in the grip of a hate movement akin to Nazi Germany.
