Trump warns that arrest of Palestinian activist at Columbia will be 'first of many'
Columbia University's president and board co-chairs testifying on Capitol Hill today. The hearing is about the university's response to anti-Semitism on campus. Testimony on that topic is why the Harvard and UPenn presidents resigned last year. Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard's rules of bullying and harassment? Yes or no? It can be depending on the context. Specifically calling for the genocide of Jews, does that constitute bullying or harassment? If it is directed and severe or pervasive, it is harassment. The University of Southern California is also under scrutiny this week. It says it's pro-Palestinian valedictorian can't speak at graduation due to security concerns. I stand by human rights and I continue to. That's not something I'm going to apologize for. *** report out yesterday from the Anti-Defamation League shows. Record numbers of anti-Semitic incidents across the country last year. It says they skyrocketed after Hamas attacked Israel. We have never ever seen anything like this. The Council on American Islamic Relations says Islamophobia also has been on the rise since October. We've seen *** spike of almost 43 to 4 times the number of incidents, hate incidents, I'm Mimi Kly reporting.
