Columbia University banned Khymani James, a 20-year-old student protest organizer from its campus on Friday due to his violent remarks toward Zionists.

“I want to make clear that calls of violence and statements targeted at individuals based on their religious, ethnic or national identity are unacceptable and violate university policy,” the university spokesperson said., who is a student spokesman for the Columbia University Apartheid Divest coalition, made anti-Zionist remarks during a disciplinary hearing in January.

James took to X to apologize for his violent words, but he also expressed he was “frustrated” that his words “have become a distraction from the movement of Palestine liberation.”. “Far right agitators went through months of my social media feed until they found a clip that they edited without context. When I recorded it, I had been unusually upset after an online mob targeted me because I am visibly black and Queer.

“Zionists in my DMs wanting to meet up and fight,” James wrote. “I don’t fight to injure or for there to be a winner or loser. I fight to kill. See y’all in New York in January 2024.”
