Columbia University is confirming that Khymani James, an organizer of pro-Palestinian protests at the school, has been banned from its campus after a video surfaced where he is shown declaring that "Zionists don't deserve to live" and that people should be "grateful that I'm not just going out and murdering Zionists."
"I don’t fight to injure or for there to be a winner or a loser, I fight to kill," he wrote in the social media post. However, he also claimed that "far-right agitators" went through months of his social media posts and found one that they edited "without context." Columbia's move to ban James comes as protests over the Israel-Hamas war and the Gaza humanitarian crisis continue to grow.
