Columbia University Faces Backlash Over ‘October 7th Blush Sauce’ Menu Label
- On Wednesday, a Columbia University dining hall sign labeled a pasta item "October 7th Blush Sauce," coinciding with the third anniversary of the Hamas-led attack on Israel.
- The incident occurred on a campus facing intense federal scrutiny, protests, and disciplinary cases since the Oct 7, 2023, attack, in which Hamas-led militants killed about 1,200 people and took about 250 hostages.
- Simone Saidmehr, a Haaretz correspondent, posted a photograph of the sign on Wednesday, and the post drew more than 1,500 likes within hours.

- Jewish students and outside groups have repeatedly accused Columbia of failing to protect them from antisemitic harassment, even as the university maintains its commitment to combating antisemitism.
