Columbia Students Distribute Antisemitic Newspaper

Columbia University's Students for Justice in Palestine club has launched an antisemitic newspaper titled 'The Columbia Intifada,' which contains inflammatory articles that refer to Jews as 'colonizers' and promote anti-Israel rhetoric. New York Congressman Mike Lawler has called for severe consequences, including revoking the university's federal funding and deporting visa-holding students involved in the publication, citing the need to protect Jewish students. Columbia University has condemned the newspaper, stating that it violates the institution's values by glorifying violence and targeting individuals within the community. The school is currently investigating the incident to determine appropriate actions. The newspaper's distribution comes amidst a backdrop of tension on campus, where anti-Israel protests have previously led to safety concerns. This incident has sparked outrage among some students who feel threatened, while others argue for the importance of diverse opinions on campus.
