The only patently obvious thing is that may of the students at Columbia
- and their faculty enablers - are extremely hostile to Israel and Jews
in general, aside from the far left anti-capitalist Jews that support
Hamas. I see no reason to assume that the administration in general is
supportive of Jews or opposed to anti-semitism based on what they've
tolerated in the last several weeks. Omitting Jews from the original
statement seemed right on brand for them, not an oversight.
