Columbia U. Encampment Leader Says ‘Be Grateful That I’m Not Just Going Out and Murdering Zionists’
“a junior and spokesperson of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest group, has been the visible face of the protests that have garnered national attention”
A Columbia student name Khymani James is reportedly a leader of the anti-Israel encampment on the school’s campus right now. He was recently recorded making some rather shocking statements. It’s difficult to imagine that law enforcement wouldn’t look into this.
These protests were already radical but the students keep upping the ante.
The Daily Wire reports:
‘Zionists Don’t Deserve To Live’: Meet The Leader Of Columbia University’s Anti-Israel Encampment
One of the most vocal student activists leading the anti-Israel Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University, Khymani James, openly stated in an live-stream of an official university inquiry in January that “Zionists don’t deserve to live.”
James, who states in the hearing that he goes by “he/she/they” pronouns, live-streamed his meeting with Columbia’s Center for Student Success and Intervention, where he doubled down on an Instagram post that sparked the report. In the report, which he reads aloud at the start of the meeting, James warned Zionists who may want to “meet up and fight” and that he “fights to kill.”
“Do you see why that’s problematic in any way?” a Columbia employee asked James during the hearing, to which he responded: “No.”
James, a junior and spokesperson of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest group, has been the visible face of the protests that have garnered national attention. He appears to still be a student at the university, and has been one of the key organizers of the encampment.
Take a look at the clips below:
“Be glad — be grateful — that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists. I’ve never murdered anyone in my life, and I *hope* to keep it that way.” This is a top leader of @Columbia’s encampment, with whom the school is “negotiating,” expanding on his thoughts about how Israel… pic.twitter.com/ugodO4O7M5

On a related note, what’s happening at Columbia and other schools is definitely being coordinated. To make matters worse, they’re just getting started.
The Washington Examiner reports:
‘First we take Columbia’: Pro-Palestinian activists spread occupation guidebook to overrun schools
Pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia University and Yale University are circulating a guidebook to activists across the country encouraging more occupations and teaching them how to be successful.
The pamphlet, titled “First We Take Columbia: Lessons from the April 1968 Occupations Movement,” was anonymously written by protesters at the Columbia and Yale encampments and published in left-wing dissident magazine Ill Will on Saturday. It was distributed by hand at the Columbia encampment on Monday.
Since its distribution, occupations have popped up at a growing number of universities across the country, including most recently George Washington University in Washington, D.C. The pamphlet is available in English, French, Turkish, Chinese, Spanish, and Japanese.
“When you seize a town, a campus, get hold of the power stations, the water, the transportation, forget to negotiate, forget how to negotiate, don’t wait for De Gaulle or Kirk to abdicate, they won’t, you are not ‘demonstrating’ you are fighting a war, fight to win, don’t wait for Johnson or Humphrey or Rockefeller, to agree to your terms take what you need, ‘it’s free because it’s yours,’” the letter begins, quoting American poet Diane Di Prima’s Revolutionary Letter #15.
This is all going to get so much worse if it isn’t stopped soon.
James tried to walk back his comments.
You can’t claim you “misspoke” in a video that’s over 1.5 hours where you continually said the same unhinged things over and over.
I have the whole video. https://t.co/aMi3Inn9MS

How is it that Columbia doesn’t expel this scum?
A junior at Columbia? I’d like to see that guy’s SAT scores. I need a laugh.
Everyone should really watch the full 6+ min video. There are some edits .. I have no idea who did them, but it still should be watched. And keep in mind that the main part of the video was this moron having a meeting with Columbia – BACK IN JANUARY.
He is the odds on favorite to be next year’s valedictorian.
I’d like to see your SAT scores? Care to publish this for us, and have them authenticated?
I’d like to see Obama’s grades. Any of them. Why would a purportedly highly intelligent man who was president want to hide them??
He didn’t hide them; he just never released them, because it’s not common for other politicians to release theirs, so he saw no reason to release his.
If it had not become customary for all presidential candidates to release their tax returns there would have been no objection to Trump not releasing his, and he could not have been accused of “hiding” them.
In other words, he hid them.
No, he didn’t hide them. It’s not “hiding” to refuse to release something that n0 one has any expectation of being released. You can’t just demand anything you want and then accuse the person of “hiding” it when he refuses to give it to you.
So would I but I agree with you. Why should he as I don’t remember seeing college transcripts for politicians being released on a regular basis.
How about you post a link to Powerline’s assessment to LI? It’d be considerably easier to verify than a rando’s SAT score.
LOL. Logic is not one of your strong points, I see.
What I will say is that I can tell from the “reasoning” behind your post that you scored south of 600 on the math section of yours. But don’t be sad, it’s pretty clear that Barky didn’t break 450 on the math section of his SATs … and he was able to worm his way into the Oval Office as Precedent of the United States.
I wouldn’t mind seeing your kindergarten diploma, dingus.
Care to publish this for us, and have them authenticated?
You’re always more interested in starting personal fights with the people commenting here rather than discussing the actual subject at hand.
Just because you can be an asshole, doesn’t always mean you should. It’s boring.
Bro… SAT scores are not an IQ test. I never took them getting into a state college after military service then transferring to a University and graduating Summa Cum Laude with a Biology degree.
SAT’s prove you can take a test really good not succeed in College or life.
He/she/it is probably interning at the Manhattan DA’s office.
Suppose another person at Columbia said:
“Blacks don’t deserve to live”, or
“Asians don’t deserve to live”, or
“Whites don’t deserve to live”.
Would there be any repercussions?
Bueller? Anyone?
For blacks or Asians, yes. Whites, no.
Not legal repercussions. And this guy did have internal college repercussions, as evidenced by the very fact that this hearing was held in the first place. The university was clearly disturbed by his words. That is the same that would have happened in your hypotheticals.
But nothing happened so it was a show trial to tick the “we did something” box. Asshat should have been expelled on the spot so tell me again who has privilege?
The kicker is that Khymani is non-binary, which I guess means it is not digital? It’s analog? Cue up the bad jokes now.
Digital? Wellll…. yes and no…
Means more than two fingers to, you know, the thing
“It” is real
Proud of itself
Bet the parents are thrilled
Black crazy gay racist thug…
What we really need is someone to go around these mob gatherings and photograph every idiot supporting it. Those photos need to be permanently embedded in a historical text that everyone has easy access to – maybe as “free” NFTs on the Ethereum or Solana blockchains – so that these treasonous retards can be branded for life.
Photographs of everyone involved, memorialized for life. These are the lowest scum and they deserve to be identified and permanently registered for the public to see. Forever.
At this point all you need to know is if someone graduated from one of the so called elite universities… they are a moron… they are either engaging in crap like this, you hire them and they are nothing but whinny entitled crybullies, or they ticked off some identity box and got in with low scores and no accomplishments and didn’t have to work or pass classes because of equity, or they are complete idiots for even wanting to go there. All Ivy League grads resumes 100% straight into the trash.
Don’t worry. There are a whole bunch of Wall Street, Big Law Firms and Corporate types watching this and deciding the woke points are not worth it or as a Stanford Prof said “is the juice worth the squeeze”? No, no it is not
The first time I heard that line was in the movie “The Girl Next Door”. Excellent movie. Sort of an updated “Risky Business”.
First time I heard it was 1973, when I first visited Arizona and marveled at the orange trees dropping fruit all over the public parks and streets in an incredibly wasteful manner. After taking a bucketful home for the squeeze, we learned why.
Joel Pollak attempted this at UCLA but they blocked his every step with their keffiyehs, blankets, whatever etc.
He’ll be the new chair of the DNC any day now.
And/or anchor at MSNBC.
Can’t wait for Chicago. Going to be lit
Literally!

Well this much seems clear enough, the ‘protesters’ (who are in actuality a braying mob of woke, lefty, Marxist antisemitic thug wannabes) are not interested in good faith negotiations. Instead they are overgrown adolescents throwing a tantrum. They sought attention, fine, give them some attention but from LEO backed by the National Guard as they are all arrested, charged, booked, fingerprinted, subjected to a records check and this info sent to the Univ and to ICE. Revoke the Student and other Visa or TPS which makes them subject to removal from the USA. Deport the aliens and hold without bail anyone with a warrant offer up extradition as required to other jurisdictions and set high bail for the remainder.
Shoot on sight. “They don’t deserve to live.”
When someone calls for a certain group to be killed, apply the same facts to the group that is causing the trouble. If that creates an “ick” factor in someone’s mind, then it stands to reason that calling for the death of a certain group should be a red flag.
His saying that zionists don’t deserve to live is protected speech. Your saying that he and those like him should be killed is likewise protected; but doing so would not be justified.
It would be well justified … it just would not be legal.
Clearly, his hate of zionists is protected. People are allowed to hate anyone they want, and to announce how much they hate people. Nothing wrong with that. Hate is a fundamental freedom. This guy’s problem is that he’s a moron. Columbia’s problem – and it is a major problem – is that they are abusing their reputation to vouch for morons like this and send them out to infest positions of power in our society. COlumbia should be held somewhat liable for the destruction their affirmative action pets cause in society, largely facilitated by their COlumbia degree, or even their acceptance by Columbia, whether they graduate or not.
America needs new and better Sedition Acts with teeth.
They would be unconstitutional, just like the first lot.
All well and good until you get administrations like the present one, or Obama’s.
When you have a treasonous administration it really doesn’t matter what laws are in place. They will either abuse existing laws or just do whatever they want, anyway. Their despicable abuse and persecution of the Jan 6th people shows how the laws don’t matter. They will turn and pervert anything they can find … and we have seen that there is no respect for logic or reason in our judiciary to save anyone from this. The Trump show trials demonstrate this.
Agree 100% Griz! The last the Federal Govt needs is more arrows in its quiver. The Feds have plenty of power. The issue here with these pro Hamas mobs using threats and intimidation tactics is a lack of resolve by the ‘authorities’. Every student participating in this or any other action that interferes in a meaningful way with the purpose of the Univ, basic commerce or others rights of movement/travel should be:
1. Expelled
2. Eligibility for additional Student loans revoked
3. Eligibility for ‘forgiveness’ of Student loans revoked
4. Student Visa, DACA and/or TPS immigration status revoked with those individuals arrested + immediately deported to Nation of Origin.
Do that and these events become far less disruptive and far more peaceful. Of course that would upset the far left loony wokiesta thug wannabes and upset the pro immigration gravy train that lots of grifters have their snouts in the trough for. Those folks also happen to donate heavily to political coffers. Plenty of power in the hands of govt at all levels to deal with these loons but the level of willingness and resolve is very much lacking.
And to forestall any free speech challenges, it should be made clear that this will be the rule from now on, for all demonstrations, no matter what the cause. Because it should be, even if they’re demonstrating for a cause we agree with. Not that demonstrators for such a cause are at all likely to behave like this, but they should know that in the hypothetical event that they ever did they would be dealt with the same way.
Milhouse,
Yep. One set of rules that are transparent, easy to understand and apply with all the various flavors subject to enforcement. If ‘save the puppy’ blocks traffic on a road or bridge or blocks access to pedestrians or the entrance to an airport or to those trying to access a building then they should be held immediately accountable for their uncivil actions.
Suppose another person at Columbia said:
…“Whites don’t deserve to live”.
Hasn’t that been said already?
Guess Google Gemini AI was right when it pictured a black Nazi!
Touché!
Planet of the apes was interesting. There was a lesson, take care of the apes before they destroy civilization. Society must pay attention and implement course corrections.
That was not the message of the movie.
Maybe looking forward to rape and pillage as a Muslim
Ohhhhhhh! JR gonna get you!
I think JR is mad because of an inferiority complex and TDS. Does anyone think I am wrong?
I think he’s one of those Ukranian trolls.
At least, they’re better than the ones from the old Pakistani boiler rooms.
Hey, lay off Ukrainians.
I just adopted a nice 19 yr old who needs a better life. Now, how to tell the wife
And murder, don’t forget murder
Looks like a street hustler who services older, white, male, closet-queer judges. Any relation to Obama?
Doz’ lips. Chrome on a trailer hitch needs to look out!
Criticize him for his ideas, not the way he makes his living
I bet no one at FBI or DHS is watching this…thing. They probably don’t even know its name or want to know its name. They’re too busy shuttling illegal aliens around the country and rounding up those who are flying Gadsden Flags and passing out Bibles.
Lots of time for Catholic Mass and school board meetings but none for threats of actual violence. Still think the government cares about you?
Why would they watch?
I have it on
good authoritysworn Congressional testimony that they don’t monitor protests.Come and bring it.
FAFO.
Strange how all of this seems to happen in blue cities where the subjects are effectively disarmed and can’t protect themselves.
“Come and bring it” is exactly what he’s telling zionists. He explicitly said that he doesn’t want to kill anyone, and that if they don’t start up with him he won’t have to. You can’t argue with that, as much as he’s full of sh*t. If anyone attacks him he does have the same right to defend himself as anyone else does.
You need to listen to everything this larper has said.
First step when the mentally twisted threaten to harm you – believe them.
It’s amazing how quiet the resident trolls get when these terrorists come to light. It’s like they know their Fellow Travelers are holier than them and thus cannot be denounced. Their silence is violence.
“Resident trolls.”🙄
Assuming this means anyone who doesn’t think every Muslim is a bloodthirsty jihadist.
Is it really that important to reiterate the obvious – that this Khymani James idiot is a smarmy little POS who should be punched in the face as should the overwhelming majority of these obnoxious, privileged little turds? You really need affirmation on a comments section that badly?
What is “obvious” simply cannot be taken for granted anymore. Once upon a time, it was obvious that one should not abuse one’s authority as a schoolteacher to “transition” other people’s children. Now, it’s Cathedral orthodoxy.
A hit dog will holler.
Yes, that was quite the self-report.
Good luck flying his pride flag in gaza. His body would get dragged through the streets.
Before or after his “flying” lessons off a multistorey building?
Is it really flying if you can’t spread your wings? Besides, it’s not the fall that hurts. It that sudden stop at the end.
POS needs to be stripped naked, shaved, tattooed and thrown in a cattle car with hundreds more like her wearing nothing but burlap pajamas. Take those glasses and smash them while we’re at it. When she gets to camp and is sorted out she’ll have time to think. Time until the work details start. Swine!
Not a she
She sure as heck looks like a she. Doesn’t seem to have masculinity oozing out of her pores. And …
Probably an IT.
The way that things are going, I expect that that the Left will soon start murdering “zionists” as part of the Pogrom in higher education. When that happens, at least some will claim that it was justified because the “zionists” were Untermenschen. In Leftist jurisdictions, at least some prosecutors will consider that as grounds to drop charges, and in some they may actually do so.
The American Social Contract is gone. The replacement process is going to be most untidy.
Subotai Bahadur
The American Social Contract has been gone for some time; we’re just seeing some of the results now.
Paraphrasing Peter Drucker when asked to make predictions about the upcoming new millennium: “I don’t predict the future. Sometimes I describe things that have already happened, that people don’t know about yet.” He proceeded to “predict” a bunch of things that have since come to pass.
Any reset of The Social Contract is going to similarly work on two time scales.
In the immediate, behave insisting people act as if the social contract were in place, at least with you and yours. This will get a bit spicy from time to time.
In the long term, encourage sensibilities, conventions, and consequences as if everyone followed, and was expected to follow, that social contract. We’ll know that worked when immediate deviations become exceptions. Could take a while.
Demands you call him “they.”
Refers to himself as “I.”
Lol
“you are not ‘demonstrating’ you are fighting a war”
And you have no idea what a war is child. But if you insist, game on.
Been there. Messy, brutal and sucks in every way you can’t imagine. This kid has been larping his whole life and never seen the nastyness. Let’s introduce him up live, close and personal
He “fights to kill.”
His opponents will thank him posthumously for that carte blanche.
it may very well find out … and not like it very much …. esp. when blindsided .or odds are 10 to 1 … or higher … or
just a simple sniper 800-1000 yds out. it would be dead before it heard the shot.
Come and try to take what I have, larper. Please try.
I am too old to go on the offensive, but well prepared for defense. I hope (almost) everyone here is prepared.
me .. I am just a broken down harmless old man…
20 years navy
10 years DOC sarg. in seg housing.
16 years DOD contractor.
just a harmless old man who likes to garden now that Im finally retired.
The guy tried to walk what he said on the video back. Saying (sic) it was out of context. One person said, “It’s an hour long video, with you repeating the same things. How can one take it out of context?”
At this point, only a fool would hire this individual. He’s a walking liability.
He has also stated that he intends to move to “South America where I can live my best life”.
I’m looking forward to him finding out what they to to punk ‘revolutionaries’ like him,
Maybe the $PLC has a place for him,
That little scumbag, keyboard warrior has never been punched in the face, and it shows.
Now that the punk has bragged about killing, it will be much easier to to establish self defense 🙂
No, it won’t. On the contrary, since he explicitly said he had no intention of attacking anyone, but if attacked intended to defend himself with deadly force, how’s he any different from you? He’s saying exactly what dozens of commenters right here say routinely.
I love it when this kind of rhetoric comes out full throated. It makes the sense of entitlement and delusion so obvious.
The revolution will be glamorized.
Paul Lynde was shockingly unhinged but sure wasn’t threatening. I never expected a lisping assassin.
As weirdo’s go, Paul Lynde was almost adorable…
Absolutely. His deadpan delivery and self-depreciating bragadosio is what made him so…adorable!
Apparently he was kicked out.
I need something more than a random comment.
The NY Post is now reporting, without details as to suspension or expulsion, that he is “banned from campus”.
https://nypost.com/2024/04/26/us-news/columbia-anti-israel-encampment-ringleader-once-said-zionists-dont-deserve-to-live/
Yes, and now he claims “words deserve context.” Hahahahahaha, now get me fries and a cherry pie.
A vile, obnoxious, goose-stepping, Jew-hating, genocidal Islamofascist, Nazi thug “of color” — that’s what the utterly corrupt American education system has churned out.
Never in the field of human history has so much been given to people who are so ungrateful lowly as these thugs.
Right now elite universities are without doubt where the next generation of leaders are coming from.
A degree from Harvard or Columbia is worth a lot more then any state school.
What we need is to figure out how to change that unless you want this scumbag to be a ceo or a senator or a judge.
My answer: “I’m your huckleberry.”
This so-called “activist” is hilarious. What an embarrassment to their “cause”.
Histrionic idiots like this aren’t the type you need to be worried about.
I respectfully dissent, because you never know what these malignant narcissists will do to win attention, plaudits and the approbation of their peers. Sure, the odds are against these thugs doing anything, but, you never know.
I believe theses idiot terrorist sympathizers and Islamofascist enablers/allies are fairly taken seriously as a threat.
Agree totally. The way I see it is that it wouldn’t take much to set these mobs on rampaging violence. A false claim that a Jew did something to one of them could cause our very own Kristallnacht. The match would be thrown and the festivities would begin. What would happen if when these crowds become large enough and form in more places they decide to turn on the government? After all it is supporting Israel, isn’t it?
And then what will happen?
Chicago is the powder keg, the various groups (BLM, Antifa, Anti-Israel nitwits, media) are the tinder, and the Democrats are the match that will light the fire.
And, it will be at this point we find out the following:
1) The police will be on the side of those issuing the pay checks, not on the side of what is right.
2) That – now that something really IS happening – groups the old Minutemen who sent out “you have a target on your back” warnings to demonstrators do… nothing.
3) That the tough-talking “from my cold dead hands” F250 four-by drivers will do… nothing.
4) That the common man, not at all vocal, will be the ones to step up and take action. Same for those with the rooftop Korean mentality.
That’s a fair point.
as said earlier … people who make decisions on hiring are watching
and noting names and faces and schools.
wasn’t it a large law firm that stated the students that signed a letter praising the attack would find it hard to get hired … that is a clue dick tracy …
That’s why they end up in the government bureaucracy, or working for the ACLU or SPLC.
Is that a male, she-male, “in-progress” eunuch, or what? Looks like a sissy to me. It looks like Soro’s legacy.. If he thinks that the IDF is his greatest threat, he truly knows nothing about how GI’s feel about him and his raison d’etre.
Someone needs to ask a person like this straight up: “So Do Jewish Lives Matter?”
He would undoubtedly say that they do, unless they’re zionists.
This is in line with the left’s decades-long attempt to create daylight between anti-zionism and antisemitism. In theory there is a valid distinction; in practice there very rarely is.
The University of Florida sent a letter to students that if they engage in some listed activities, they will be expelled and trespassed from the school for three years.
The school went further saying that faculty members engaged in the prohibited activities would be summarily fired and trespassed for three years.
Clearly the school is not willing to see what is happening in other schools – even other SEC schools.
source (amongst many): https://www.clickorlando.com/news/florida/2024/04/26/uf-sets-student-free-speech-boundaries-threatens-3-year-ban-for-rulebreakers/
Some of the restrictions would be very difficult to enforce. Those would include sleeping (no sleeping in dorms or on the green spaces that students have traditionally slept on between classes) and “amplified sound” (no stereos in dorms?)
The Gators ain’t playin’.
Sleeping and amplified sound are only prohibited at demonstrations, not in dorms, or in other places when not part of a demonstration.
What is there for them to look into? His words are very clearly protected speech.
Not only did he not make any threats, he explicitly said he had no intention of engaging in any violence except in self-defense. That’s no different from what many commenters here say all the time, and is supposed to be what our side of politics is all about. “Don’t start anything and there won’t be anything”.
He’s a silly twisted boy.
