On Saturday, The New York Post<\/a> posted an article about some of the consequences of the pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University last spring.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Columbia University saw donations at its annual fundraiser drop nearly 29% after the spate of anti-Israel protests on campus earlier this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The annual \u201cGiving Day\u201d event brought in $21.4 million in 2024, compared to $30 million in 2022, the last time the event was held, according to campus newspaper Columbia Spectator.<\/a> Giving Day was postponed in 2023 due to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack and the ensuing protests.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ivy League university also saw a nearly 28% drop in the number of gifts, falling from 19,229 in 2022 to 13,870, the lowest since 2015, the paper said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

\u201cColumbia is fortunate to have a dedicated community of alumni, parents and friends who recognize the impact their financial donations, volunteer time, talents, advice and mentoring make in assisting students and supporting the mission of the university and its schools,\u201d a Columbia spokesperson said. \u201cTheir participation and support is ongoing and sincerely appreciated, and they continue to ensure the ongoing success of the university.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The school has faced criticism for its mishandling<\/a> of the demonstrations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Anti-Israel protests resumed<\/a> in September as the 2024-2025 school year commenced.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Columbia was one of the Ivy schools to be investigated by the Department of Education for civil rights violations under Title VI in December.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Someone needs to sit down with our university students and give them an honest history of Israel and the ‘Palestinians.’<\/p>\n

Consider the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe considered ourselves Jordanian until the Jews returned to Jerusalem. Then all of the sudden we were Palestinians \u2013 they removed the star from the Jordanian flag and all at once we had a Palestinian flag.\u201d ~ Walid Shoebat<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walid Shoebat is also credited with saying:<\/p>\n

One day during the 1960\u2019s\u00a0I\u00a0went\u00a0to\u00a0bed\u00a0a\u00a0Jordanian\u00a0Muslim, and when\u00a0I\u00a0woke\u00a0up the next morning, I was informed that I was a Palestinian.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the original mandate for Palestine:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ‘Palestinian refugees’ should be asking for land in Transjordan–not at Israel. If you study the history of Israel, you discover that the Palestinian refugees are not actually refugees–they left their property in Israel in 1948 because the Arab nations promised them that the Jews in Israel would be driven into the sea and the ‘Palestinians’ could then have the entire country to themselves. Obviously, it didn’t work out that way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
