Since doxxing, suspensions and arrests didn’t work; taking away housing & food didn’t deter - the establishment has gone back to the tried and tested formular of labeling students & protesters at Columbia as “antisemitic” to try discredit an unprecedented & historic movement

NEW: Law makers grilled Columbia U president M Shafik about 'antisemitic' remarks by several professors, including Mohamed Abdou.
