There is political shift among Jewish students after progressive groups came out in support of a professor calling Hamas' incursion in Israel 'exhilarating.'
ITHACA, NEW YORK – Jewish Cornell University students reported that many of their peers on campus have been questioning their allegiances to left-wing student groups after some came out in defense of a professor who called the Hamas terrorist attack in Southern Israel 'exhilarating.' Fox News Digital spoke to 'Cornellians' on background and on the record who said they were aware of a political shift among Jewish students.
CORNELL PROFESSOR WHO WAS 'EXHILARATED' AFTER HAMAS ATTACK ISSUES APOLOGY FOR 'REPREHENSIBLE' REMARKS Galperin added that he hopes progressivism will reform away from being willing to associate with antisemitic groups. 'But I don't think any of us believe that that stops us from advocating for progressive things. You know, we can be Jewish and progressive. We can hold those beliefs… we're not going to let this stop us from advocating for a better world,' he said.
