Description

• SJP reposts a story on Instagram by Democracy Now of Law Professor Katherine Franke:  "Columbia has a program with older students from other countries, including Israel. It's something that many of us were concerned about because so many of those Israeli students who then come to the campus are coming right out of their military service. And they've been known to harass Palestinian and other students on our campus, and it's something the university has not taken seriously in the past" (screen recording).

• Professor Katherine Franke is making an unfounded accusation that Israeli students on campus are known to harass others and insinuates that Israelis should not be allowed on campus.
