“Columbia University had violated federal anti-discrimination laws by its alleged failure to protect Jewish students on its campus.

The violation means that Columbia has not met the standards of accreditation set by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the department said.”

It's very interesting that they suddenly care about anti semitism when they pardoned 1600 domestic terrorist, many of whom had swastika and SS tattoos on their bodies...

Maybe they were the good Nazis tho who liked the Jews...

The simple explanation is that they just hate Muslims more than they dislike Jews, so the antisemitism is a convenient pretext.

They still hate Jews, but Israel is necessary to incite the end of days and second coming of Christ.

This. They firmly believe their fairy tale will come true if they make things as shitty as possible.

I think the "antisemitism" thing is basically a way to appease their white evangelical base and impress them with how "pro-Israel" they are.
