Columbia Student Group Retracts Apology, Advocates Violence

A pro-Palestinian group at University has rescinded its apology for a student's anti-Zionist remarks, now endorsing armed resistance against Israel.

Khymani James, a suspended Columbia student, reaffirmed his statement that 'Zionists don’t deserve to live' after his group's apology was retracted.
Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) apologized for previously distancing itself from James's remarks, citing pressure from media and public backlash.
CUAD's recent statement supports 'liberation by any means necessary,' including armed resistance, amid ongoing tensions over the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Columbia University condemned the calls for violence, emphasizing that such statements contradict the institution's core principles of non-violence.
James has filed a lawsuit against Columbia, alleging discrimination and improper handling of his suspension following his controversial statements.
