BTW arabophobia *is* antisemitism and was recognized as such in this country until after the Holocaust and the Nakba.
Distributed AI Research CommunityTimnit Gebru (she/her) (@timnitGebru@dair-community.social)Columbia University's OWN faculty were targeting Mahmoud Khalil. One of those faculty was, surprise surprise, Shai Davidai.
The university has faculty & students who physically & chemically attacked students, & we are seeing what has happened to this particular student here being abducted.
Khalil knew that these people were working to bring ICE to terrorize him & wrote an email to the interim president asking for action REPEATEDLY. Shame on this shameful university.

@blogdiva I've been caught in this trap of on the one hand deploring the attacks on Columbia from this admin because they're bad in principle and will be used against everybody...and absolutely savoring watching the university get spit roasted for going along with fascism. They were trying pretty hard even before Trump got elected.
