Please help me force a response out of Columbia by reposting this.

Dear Katrina Armstrong, the Interim President of @Columbia University,

At some point, the bullshit needs to be called out.

At some point, your silence must be addressed.

Why haven’t you said anything about @ColumbiaBDS, the faculty-supported student organization that operates like an ideological terrorist cell?

(They would never strap-on a suicide belt, but they praise and support those who do)

Why haven’t you said anything  about Prof. Joseph Massad who, on your shift, spoke at a conference in praise of the worst massacre in Israel’s history? 

Why haven’t you said anything  about the hundreds of students and faculty who protested a memorial service for the victims of that massacre?

(That, too, was on your watch)

You know perfectly well that they aren’t criticizing @Israel’s policies. 

You know perfectly well that they’re criticizing its existence. 

It doesn’t take much to say that dehumanizing Israelis is wrong. 

It doesn’t take much to say that praising the death of Israelis is unacceptable.

Silence isn’t violence, but it surely enables it. 

And true leaders never remain silent.

Shame on you for not saying anything.

Shame on you for your silence.
