Columbia is covering itself with something lately, but it’s sure not “glory.” And, man – does it stink to high Heaven.
What people are failing to grasp about this kid’s mad hate speech rant is that the reason it’s been captured on video is because he delivered it to the Columbia University administrators themselves during a disciplinary hearing. And they let him walk away right afterwards! https://t.co/XbOGjSj3LK

The race-bating, Jew-hating, privileged do-ragger shooting his mouth off about “aren’t we lucky I’m not killing people who deserve to die” is a sad little man named Khymani James. Somehow – probably because his angry act is so polished – he’s the head of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment.
And will you listen to the masked sheeple following him? It’s like a Klan rally and damn near as lily-white.

Right there is how any of the European slaughters of the 20th century – from the Russian Revolution to the gas chambers at Auschwitz – happened. Locked arms and mindless repetition.
Let’s be honest right off the bat – during that stomach-turning spiel if he had had a MAGA hat on…no. You don’t have to even go that far. Had he just pale skin and a beard ranting away on TikTok or on Facebook – not even to his local community college board – the FBI and ATF would have been crawling up his asterisk so fast he wouldn’t have had a chance to undo his belt. They’d have busted in the back seam.
But he’s a POC – at an Ivy League university. He’s golden, man. Spewing his murderous venom at will, with paralyzed, woke, virtue-signaling administrators quaking at his words, too terrified of having “racist” and “colonizer” boomerang on them to call the racist, privileged sociopath out for the hate-monger he is.
I have no doubt that there were thrilling, secretly savored little frissons running up spines at that disciplinary meeting. James was so angry! So black! So defianty! So powerful!
Everything that the university’s progressive faculty lives for and fantasizes about was berating them. Their white guilt was right there in the flesh, throwing civilization back in their faces.
And so they let the performance ride.
People are now calling Columbia et al. “The Poison Ivies,” and this repellant he/she/they pronoun cretin is a perfect example of how richly deserved the moniker is.
This flashy sort of juvenile thug always has his hate-mentors, and it’s no different for James. He’s got himself a doozy of a gal to look up to for race-baiting how-tos and grievance politics.
It’s not really surprising that this once-venerated institution should spawn loathsome, pseudo-intellectual, bottom-feeding radicals alongside students of all life philosophies who love challenging environments and wicked good arguments. It’s that Columbia would nurture and protect the unhinged haters who transcend mere disagreement among peers, openly encouraging even wilder flights of intimidation and thuggish actions with tacit approval apparent in the university’s lack of any disciplinary measures whatsoever.
Columbia’s president, Minouche Shafik, took office on July 1 of last year but wasn’t “inaugurated” until October 4. The absolute horror of the October 7 Hamas butchery became muted with “…and the Israeli blockade and bombing” as the university and its president sought to straddle the middle ground without hurting anyone’s feelings on either side.
This past fall, the Middle East exploded in a fresh cycle of violence that shocked the global community. In the US, public outrage over the Hamas terror attacks on Israel and the Israeli bombardment and blockade of the Gaza Strip reverberated on college campuses. Passions ran high, rhetoric was charged, and Jewish and Muslim students alike reported harassment and intimidation.
…Students did express themselves. And amid the noise and the controversies — the protests and counterprotests, the student-group suspensions, the claims and counterclaims — many difficult, frank, and painful conversations were taking place. There was a sense that the University, even in its turmoil — especially in its turmoil — was fulfilling its role as a living laboratory for the clash of ideas, interests, and perspectives.
Since she took office on July 1, President Shafik has upheld the idea of the University as an institution that is set up to teach students how to think, not what to think. Her priority, she says, is to provide a secure and respectful environment that fosters teaching, learning, and understanding. Unlike a political organization or an advocacy group, Columbia aims to open minds to “different points of view” and to “create space for our scholars and students to fill with their own moral and intellectual conversations.”
President Shafik was so worried about everyone’s tender feelings she even testified to Congress that a Columbia professor who’d called scenes from the ghastly Oct 7 terrorist attacks “awesome” had been “spoken to.” Someone – not her, of course – had let him know, in a gentle fashion, that his words were unacceptable.
The problem is that no one at Columbia ever actually spoke to the professor to pass that message from the president along. He’s still doing his Jew-hate thing, too. And why not?
Columbia University President Minouche Shafik’s Wednesday testimony before a House committee on how the school responded to a professor’s controversial piece labeling Hamas’ October 7 attack a “resistance offensive” is at odds with the account the professor shared with CNN.
Multiple lawmakers at Wednesday’s hearing on antisemitism at Columbia took particular issue with the professor, Joseph Massad’s, use of the word “awesome” in the piece describing scenes from the day of the attack, though not the attack itself.
In the piece, Massad also said, “The sight of the Palestinian resistance fighters storming Israeli checkpoints separating Gaza from Israel was astounding.”
Shafik told members of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce that she condemned the statements he made in the piece and was “appalled” by them. A university spokesperson confirmed that Massad was under investigation for allegedly making discriminatory remarks, as Shafik noted in her Wednesday testimony. Massad told CNN the investigation was “news” to him and he was not aware of it prior to Wednesday.
…Massad told CNN no one said anything to him along those lines and he had not been reprimanded in any way.
“I was shown solidarity by my chair and deans based on the death threats that I received and the campaign targeting me,” he said in an email to CNN.
What’s good for Columbia’s Jew-hating faculty should be fine for the students they’re indoctri…sorry. “Educating,” right?
So it would seem. So it is.
Jewish students are being threatened. Jewish students are being harassed with slogans whose screamed chants are all about the annihilation of their kind. Jewish students are being physically blocked from entering university buildings by both students and faculty. And yet, the Columbia administration makes sure to condemn any harassment of both Jewish and Muslim students, as if there were any equivalence in the circumstances at all.
The pursuers are also always victims of their own hate rages.
It’s so convenient. So pathetic.
Cowards.
All the big bluster, silly chants, and do-rag chic can’t match one iota of this Columbia student’s courage in the face of the privileged tent mob.

Am Israel Chai, indeed.
Time to pack your pop-ups and skulk away, kiddies.
