Robert Kraft, Alan Dershowitz have spines, Joe Biden doesn't

I've sometimes wondered what it'd be like if Joe Biden had a titanium spine like Michele Bachmann used to talk about when she was my congresswoman. Eventually, I realized that Biden still would be missing a brain. Still, I wish Joe had a spine, especially after reading this article.

The article opens by saying "A growing number of leaders and organizations have called on Columbia University and its president to protect students amid reports of antisemitic and offensive statements and actions on and near its campus, which has been the site this week of a pro-Palestinian encampment and protest."

No-Go Zone?

Is Columbia University's campus becoming a no-go zone? It's apparent that seccurity on Columbia's campus isn't what it should be. It's obvious because they've switched to remote learning:

Early Monday, Columbia President Nemat 'Minouche' Shafik said that classes would be held virtually Monday and that school leaders would be coming together to discuss a way to bring an end to "this crisis."

In a statement to the university community, Shafik said she was "saddened" by the events on campus, and denounced antisemitic language, and intimidating and harassing behavior.

"The decibel of our disagreements has only increased in recent days. These tensions have been exploited and amplified by individuals who are not affiliated with Columbia who have come to campus to pursue their own agendas," she said. "We need a reset."

Actually, what's needed is enforcement of this nation's laws. When pro-Palestinian students take over the campus and Jewish students feel threatened, it's time for a significant upheaval. That's where alumni come in.

Enter Robert Kraft

On Monday, New England Patriots CEO Robert Kraft issued this statement:

It was through the full academic scholarship Columbia gave me that I was able to attend college and get my start in life and for that I have been tremendously grateful. However, the school I love so much – the one that welcomed me and provided me with so much opportunity – is no longer an institution I recognize.

I am deeply saddened at the virulent hate that continues to grow on campus and throughout our country. I am no longer confident that Columbia can protect its students and staff and I am not comfortable supporting the university until corrective action is taken.

It is my hope that Columbia and its leadership will stand up to this hate by ending these protests immediately and will work to earn back the respect and trust of many of us who have lost faith in the institution.

It is my hope that in this difficult time, the Kraft Center at Columbia will serve as a source of security and safety for all Jewish students and faculty on campus who want to gather peacefully to practice their religions, to be together and to be welcomed.

This is Kraft's interview with Sean Hannity Monday night:

As disappointed as Kraft was, Prof. Dershowitz was mad as hell and he wasn't taking it anymore:

It's time for Christians and the Jewish people to unite. From a doctrine standpoint, our beliefs are almost identical. Further, there's strength in numbers. We're stronger together. If we want to defeat Hamas and their antisemitism, it'll require all of us, working together. Defeating Hamas and antisemitism is too important not to work together. Let's get it done.
