Cornell U. DEI Director Under Fire for Describing Hamas Terror Attacks as a ‘Resistance’

I hope this entire situation is a wake-up call to America about what is happening on our college campuses. This insanity is everywhere.

The New York Post reports:

Cornell University official slammed for disturbing posts calling Hamas terror attacks a ‘resistance’A diversity and inclusion director at Cornell University has come under fire over disturbing social media posts supporting Hamas and dismissing the terror group’s slaughter of innocent civilians as a “resistance.”Derron Borders, of the Cornell Johnson Graduate School of Management, voiced his support for the Palestinians and criticized Israel following the devastating invasion by Hamas terrorists who killed more than 900 people.“When you hear about Israel this morning and the resistance being launched by Palestinians, remember against all odds Palestinians are fighting for life, dignity, and freedom — alongside others doing the same — against settle colonization, imperialism, capitalism, white supremacy, which the United States is the model,” Borders wrote on his Instagram Story.“F–k your fake outrage at Palestine when you’ve literally been silent about the violence perpetuated by Israel against Palestine every day,” Borders wrote on the day of the Hamas invasion.On Monday, he posted that Hamas’ massacre was inexcusable, but continued to compare it to the Israeli government’s past actions against the Palestinians.“The atrocities and violence towards innocent people in Israel is absolutely horrifying and should be condemned,” he wrote. “The state-sanctioned violence and denial of self-determination for the Palestinian people by the Israeli government is also terrible and should be condemned.”Borders’ statement came as a shock to Itai Liptz, a Jewish man and director and CEO of RIMAR Capital, who has called for Cornell to fire Borders for his tone-deaf comments amid the violence and kidnappings experienced by the Israeli people.“This is especially saddening given Mr. Borders position, which is one of influence and one that is expected to promote inclusion and harmony,” Liptz wrote.
