A Cornell University professor was caught on camera telling students Hamas’ terror attack on Israel — which has left more than 1,400 dead — was “exhilarating” and “energizing.”
The remarks were made at a pro-Palestine protest by Russell Rickford, an associate professor of history at the top-tier Ithaca, New York school and posted online Sunday by a student who called them “shameful.” The footage of Rickford’s impassioned speech was also shared with The Post by two other tipsters. They declined to say when and where exactly the rally took place, but both said they were shocked by the brazen remarks.

The University swiftly condemned his remarks in the strongest terms, but made no mention of his being fired. Remember, they knew his radical politics when they happily hired him. Now they are only afraid of losing donors like Harvard.

It is now blatantly obvious that many, if not most institutions of higher education are radical and anti-Semitic! Moreover, I believe that these same institutions are anti-Constitution therefore anti-American! We, the People are going to have to take action against these institutions, cut their funding and make them accountable! Nothing less is acceptable!

My fondest wish would be to have my seconds call upon this man at dawn and offer him the first shot.

No doubt a person who has done little in life more exciting than to hike an oft trodden local trail with his pet Pomeranian. We should send people like him to camp out in Gaza for a week with a few basic provisions, like a Boy Scout knife and some string. After two days he'd be eating his Pom.

Never have I posted a recommendation of violence but in Prof. Rickford’s case possibly he would find it exhilarating and energizing to be roughed up a little.
What a fool.

When I was in college, I noticed that my teaching associates had plans to stay in academia throughout their careers. I though it odd at the time, but now realize that many people like this Cornell professor don't want to leave the comfort of their college campus and deal with the real world. They prefer to stay in their academic bubble and be a big fish in a very small pond.

Cornell should remove this sick disgusting professor from its ranks.

Another academic sociopath hired by more senior, tenured sociopaths. That’s what higher education has become in the United States: normalizing insanity by a scant percentage of the population. It’s totally evil!

Just because they have brilliant minds doesn't mean they can't be evil.

Is anybody shocked to learn that Cornell employs terrorists? Veery probably seeks them out in the name of DEI.

I live near Ithaca. It's a very leftist city. Is it any wonder Cornell U. is a leftist haven? There are a few right-leaning professors at Cornell, William Jacobson, of Legal Insurrection [ https://legalinsurrection.com/ ] , being one of them. They've tried to force him out in the past.

It's heartening to see that not every student swallows the hook and line put out by the professors. This leftist idiot needs to go.

What do you reckon the intersectionality between pansies and college perfessors is?

How many college professors does it take to replace a light bulb? Four. One to hold the bulb and three to rotate the ladder.
Did you hear about the college professor who drew up plans to land humans on the sun? When asked how he’d avoid having them burn to death he said that was the easy part, they’d land at night.
Did you hear about the college professor who said he found the cure for cancer? He said cancer would be eradicated if we killed every single Jew in the world.

Any human animal who professes to find murder, rape, mutilation, and kidnapping "exhilarating" and "exciting" needs to be sent to a psych ward, immediately, before any further contact with the public.
The guy is a sociopath.
To wit:
Hamas engaged in religious genocide when they used every lethal weapon they had to target only noncombatant, nonstrategic Jewish civilians (men, women, children, infants) for murder, rape, mutilation, and kidnapping, and they did it in the name of a sadistic, blood-thirsty desert moon god.

Maybe this will be a wake-up call for the leftists who contribute vast sums of money to big-name universities. They're contributions bought this man and his views. Somehow I doubt this will be a "teaching moment" for leftists.
