Staff Reports
Columbia University has made headlines recently by taking action against three staff members for their involvement in promoting antisemitic tropes. This is not just any old prejudice – we are talking about good old-fashioned Jew-hatred here. And let me tell you, this kind of bigotry is as outdated as a pair of bell-bottom jeans.
The history of antisemitism is long and sordid. From the days of the Roman Empire to the horrors of the Holocaust, Jews have faced persecution and violence simply for being who they are. The fact that this kind of hatred still rears its ugly head in the halls of academia is both shocking and disappointing.

It’s not like Columbia University is some backwater community college – this is an Ivy League institution with a supposed reputation for excellence. Yet, when faced with a clear display of anti-Jewish sentiment on campus, they failed to act swiftly and decisively. It took a full-blown scandal and a public outcry for them to finally take a stand.
Now, the university claims to have “permanently removed” the offending staff members, but why all the secrecy? Why not name and shame these individuals for their despicable behavior? Could it be that their actions were so vile that Columbia is trying to save face by sweeping it all under the rug?
Make no mistake – antisemitism is a cancer that must be rooted out wherever it rears its head. Whether it’s in the form of subtle discrimination or overt hatred, we must stand together against this age-old evil. And if institutions like Columbia are unwilling to do so, then it’s up to the rest of us to hold them accountable. The fight against antisemitism is far from over, but with each small victory, we get one step closer to eradicating this hateful ideology for good.
