COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Muslim professor who praised Hamas massacre in Israel to teach course on Zionism
January 3, 2025
Columbia University will offer a course on “Zionism” in spring 2025 taught by a professor who described terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel as “awesome.” The course…directly creates an environment of hate and bigotry against Jewish students.
The College Fix The professor assigned to teach the course is Joseph Massad, who also instructs Modern Arab Politics and Intellectual History at Columbia. Massad is known for writing an article for The Electronic Intifada the day after the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel, in which he described the event as “astounding,” “incredible,” and a “stunning victory.”
“No less awesome were the scenes witnessed by millions of jubilant Arabs who spent the day watching the news, of Palestinian fighters from Gaza breaking through Israel’s prison fence or gliding over it by air,” he wrote.
Yaakov Menken, director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, said, “Joseph Massad does not belong on the faculty of any serious academic institution.” “He believes that rape, beheading of babies, kidnapping, and mass murder are all legitimate ‘resistance’ to ‘Israeli settler-colonialism’— in other words because the victims are primarily Jews,” Menken said.
