Recent events at Columbia University have highlighted concerns regarding antisemitism and the composition of its antisemitism taskforce. Jewish students at Columbia are urging the university to address antisemitism, especially as a Washington D.C. hearing approaches. This follows an anti-Israel protest led by Deen Haleem, a student leader of Columbia Law Students for Palestine and member of CUAD, who argued against conflating anti-Zionist and pro-Palestinian statements with antisemitism. Additionally, an investigation by V24 has revealed that Rashid Khalidi, the Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia and former PLO press agency director, criticized the university's choice of members for the antisemitism taskforce, labeling them as extremists and bigots.
