US EditionColumbia University Anti-Israel Group Posts ‘Death to America’ After US and Israel Kill Khamenei
Columbia revoked recognition of CUAD, which led over 80 student groups and distributed pro-armed struggle literature, after its anti-American post violated university policies.
- The Columbia University Apartheid Divest , an anti-Israel group co-founded by Mohsen Mahdawi, posted 'Death to America' in Persian on social media after a U.S.-Israel strike killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
- Columbia University stated that CUAD is not a recognized student group, is illegally using the university's name, and distanced itself from the group.
- CUAD deleted its original post under pressure but later reaffirmed and then deleted the sentiment again.
- The controversy led to backlash, with some Columbia faculty supporting CUAD despite university efforts and legal actions to restrict CUAD's use of the university's name.
