A panel ([__flier__](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I9Xv3hk4M0dte3_lUhQjwnXX5JIWbn31/view?usp=drive_link)) with a number of virulently anti-Israel Columbia professors [Rashid Khalidi](/doc/403aef8b-d88b-429d-aecb-7ad27ed00da2), [Katherine Franke](/doc/fecfad2e-69d1-4160-bc6a-6d10cd251b8a), [Kayum Ahmed](/doc/977568b1-b250-4aea-911b-9df2b547800b), [Mahmood Mamdani](/doc/dfb547ec-e6cc-4c28-bc44-a54d4bfa7863)  and others was assembled for a discussion of the recommendations issued by the Columbia [__Task Force on Antisemitism__](https://president.columbia.edu/task-force-antisemitism). Two scheduled speakers do not show.  

The full-length [__audio__](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JRxplRnJwrlQzr9saPfKoCdkj4XcmvEJ/view?usp=drive_link) and [__transcript__](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IM3XXRhy_1fPitPCc6mn0ZUbxHCj6rh0/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=104586679312840664252&rtpof=true&sd=true) of the entire panel are available. Some highlights:

* Professor Katherine Franke doubles down on her call to exclude students who served in IDF from campus ([__video__](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IL3GlsFpV-IPmGUyrIgPNSTH0SW10v53/view?usp=drive_link), [__audio__](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ILCfVZ_qEdHxfJbeN01AH2EXaNzOAG-O/view?usp=drive_link), [__transcript__](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ILwxhXE8zN5E4jS0ALEq224b9j9gK0uy/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=104586679312840664252&rtpof=true&sd=true)). This would apply to almost all Israelis as the service in the IDF is mandatory in Israel.


* Professor Katherine Franke talks about how the April 17, 2024 congressional hearing might affect the situation on campus and whether Columbia is cracking down on the anti-Israel protests in order to show that they are doing something prior to the hearing ([__video__](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IIvyTtRauItbIY2AULSpgaiHPgh4bQdt/view?usp=drive_link), [__audio__](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IJ1sGvAz5Hwh8-j24wnOLFtT5oqzxTzY/view?usp=drive_link), [__transcript__](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IJ02pqTMH64574L-yoN1RXKJtoCUWil-/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=104586679312840664252&rtpof=true&sd=true)).
