A professor at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, called the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel on October 7 “thrilling” and “energizing.” Russell Rickford, an associate professor of history at American University and a far-left activist, told a pro-Palestine rally that the attacks “altered the political balance and shattered the illusion of invincibility” of Israel and gave hope to the Palestinians. ” “It was exciting and energizing. And if you weren’t excited about this challenge to the monopoly of violence, about the displacement of violence from power, then you wouldn’t be human. I was elated,” Rickford told the crowd of pro-Palestine protesters, and then continued : “That’s what they did. You don’t have to be a Hamas supporter to recognize it.”
The people who filmed the video did not say whether the demonstration took place on the Ithaca campus. Many of the participants shouted slogans such as “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” Words considered anti-Semitic by Jewish groups, according to which their meaning is a call for the complete elimination of Israel. Global controversies continue with frightening phrases about the Jewish State.
