What is happening on Columbia's campus, and on campuses throughout the country, is appalling. Protesters are chanting in support of the attacks on Jews on October 7 and Hamas - a terrorist organization that has an avowed goal of eradicating all Jews. Students are supporting Iran because Iran is anti-Israel. In Iran you can be sentenced to death for having same-sex relations. Iranian security forces have committed rape and torture against their Kurdish minority. Universities should be helping these misinformed students understand that they are espousing hatred and violence. Instead, professors are marching with them. There are still over 130 hostages being held. One was recently pictured with his hand cut off. There should be protests and encampments for their release - not in support of their kidnappers. It is shameful.
