Columbia Professor: Terrorism Is The Point

A Columbia professor shares his experience with the protests.

Adaam is joined by Shai Davidai, an Israeli-born assistant professor at Columbia University, to discuss a viral moment in which he was denied entry to Columbia’s campus and how the university’s administration is failing to protect Jewish students.

The Agenda:
—Shai Davidai’s background, from Israel to Columbia
—The antisemitism he was warned about
—Dialogue with protesters
—The administrative involvement in the protests
Play-by-play of Davidai’s experience on Columbia’s campus
—Are Jewish students safe on college campuses?
