Cornell prof back on campus after calling Oct. 7 'exhilarating' part of protest that bashed Israel
who last year called Hamas’ depraved Oct. 7 attack “exhilarating” sparked more outrage after taking part in an anti-Israel march where protesters chanted “long live the intifada.”
The instructor gained notoriety when he celebrated Hamas’ sneak assault on the Jewish state that killed 1,200 Israelis and sparked the war in Gaza. “Cornell is spitting in my face and the face of the entire Jewish community,” Gekman told The Post. “They’re allowing professors to call for `intifida’, an end of the Jewish state.”
Video posted online by the group that spearheaded the demonstration, the Coalition for Mutual Liberation, shows protesters causing a ruckus inside the career fair, including crashing cymbals and banging on pots, as attendees attempted to operate around it.Cornell Vice President for University Relations Joel Malina said in a statement university police were pushed and shoved and guests felt threatened during the disruption.
