Cornell prof denounces Jews, claims “Violence is all Zionism Can Offer the World”

A professor at Cornell University plans to teach a class about the “plausible genocide” in Gaza, but the professor’s anti-Jew and anti-Israel rhetoric on Twitter makes it questionable as to whether the class will be rooted in truth or steeped in antisemitism.

Eric Cheyfitz — a longtime professor of American studies at Cornell — will teach “AIIS 3500: Gaza, Indigeneity, Resistance” next semester, according to the Cornell University Class Roster for Spring 2025.

Cheyfitz has long been an advocate of Students for Justice in Palestine, has supported the anti-Israel encampments that sprouted up on his campus last semester, has blamed Jewish people for the antisemitism they face, and has argued that Israel is negotiating in bad faith as means to continue their “genocide in Rafah” and elsewhere.

“It is Israel that is the terrorist organization,” Cheyfitz writes publicly on his Twitter.

“Israel is in its death throes. The symptoms: Violence, in its desperation, is all Zionism can offer the world” he continued.

He also says Jews are at-fault for the antisemitism they face.
