FOX News reports:
Columbia student banned from campus after remarks about ‘murdering Zionists’
The Columbia University student who discussed “murdering Zionists” was “banned from campus” Friday, according to a university spokesperson.
Junior Khymani James expressed “regret” early Friday after he went viral online for previously suggesting people should be “grateful” he wasn’t “murdering Zionists,” whom he likened to “White supremacists” and “Nazis.”
Without explicitly mentioning what they were, James copped to inflammatory comments that were first reported by The Daily Wire, during a livestream of an official Columbia inquiry in January.
“I actually kind of hope they do kick me out because I’ve been meaning to travel to South America,” James said of whether he would remain on as a student at Columbia during the livestream.
University sources told Fox News Digital disciplinary proceedings are now underway.
Before the news James was banned, Columbia put out a campus update calling the video “extremely alarming and upsetting.”
“Calls of violence and statements targeted at individuals based on their religious, ethnic, or national identity are unacceptable and violate university policy,” the statement said. “When there are violations of student conduct policies, they are reviewed and disciplinary measures are applied.”
“What is a Zionist? A White supremacist,” James said in the resurfaced video.

So, let me get this straight . . . .
James made the statements in question in an official Columbia disciplinary hearing *months* ago. Ergo, the Columbia administration has long known what kind of a nutcase they had on campus . . . but did absolutely nothing until the Daily Caller blew the whistle this week.
Now they are shocked, SHOCKED, to find that there are antisemites in their midst that need to be expelled.
Meanwhile Prof. Shai Davidai, who first blew the whistle on Columbia’s refusal to protect Jewish students, has been banned from campus since April 22 or earlier.
I don’t actually blame him. He has been coddled and everyone has let him speed his nonsense since he was 14 so he doesn’t know better.
I heard audio today of his hearing from months ago with the university where he let this stuff fly. He is trying to say right wing sights are taking him out of context. Nope, it’s exactly how it sounds. A more entitled, arrogant little brat is hard to imagine. How he claims victim hood when he is the epitome of the American Dream ( single poor immigrant mother raised in poverty to attend one of the best Universities in the nation) is beyond farce and satire.
He was probably admitted because of this sort of activism. Otherwise (back when there were academic standards) it’s hard to imagine such a character being admitted to Columbia, and still being enrolled 3 years later.
Oh, and by the way, of course I blame him. He is an adult and is responsible for all his own words and actions. We cannot have a society where some adults, with the powers of adults, are only held to the standards of children if that.
Don’t infantilize. It’s no excuse for them.
Don’t mistake point. I don’t blame him for how he turned out as he has been indoctrinated since childhood and encouraged at every step to be this way. This does not mean that he should not face the consequences of his actions as an adult. I’m dubious at the university or legal system making his crash into reality happen
The university is only disciplining him now because it came to light otherwise he received no punishment whatsoever. Basically they support his muderous rhetoric.
He is the black David Hogg. A legend in his own mind.
Expelled from Columbia and Harvard bound. How fitting. Anyone with an Ivy degree post 2010ish is not fit to run a lemonade stand much less be a valuable employee outside of gig work for Soros’ destroy America ‘revolutionary occupations’ and protests. I would hire Joe Schmo with a degree from Bubba’s Bait Shop and College before I’d hire anyone from the Poison Ivies.
