In a scathing response to Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's recent comments on "nonviolent" anti-Israel protesters, Columbia professor Shai Davidai, who was barred from campus after hosting a pro-Jewish rally, criticized the congresswoman and expressed concern for the safety of Jewish students at Columbia University.

Speaking to "America's Newsroom," Davidai referred to Ocasio-Cortez as an "agent of chaos" and expressed his anticipation for future generations to read about this chapter in history, which he believes will include a list of "rabid antisemites," including Ocasio-Cortez herself. He further stated that the protests were not peaceful and accused Ocasio-Cortez, along with Rashida Tlaib and Cynthia Nixon, of lying to the public, drawing parallels to outlets like The New York Times.

Ocasio-Cortez's comments came after chaos erupted on Columbia's campus, raising concerns for the safety of Jewish students. One rabbi even warned Jewish students to leave campus, citing the inability of the NYPD to guarantee their safety. Chants from anti-Israel protesters, such as "Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!" and "We support your rockets too!" added to the climate of fear.

Davidai, who has been critical of Columbia's handling of the protests, had his access to the campus deactivated and planned a counter-demonstration. Jewish students at Columbia showed their support for him by chanting, "Let Shai in!" In a social media post, Davidai disclosed that Columbia University refused him entry, claiming that his safety as a Jewish professor could not be protected, drawing a comparison to the events of 1938.

Davidai spoke of Jewish students' fear and their tendency to flee campus in light of the ongoing chaos. He also mentioned his continuous efforts to address antisemitism and the alarming support for Hamas among the protesters, but claimed that campus leadership had never responded to his messages.

Columbia University President Dr. Nemat "Minouche" Shafik expressed deep sadness over the turmoil at the campus. She acknowledged the fears for student safety and announced additional actions to address security concerns. As a temporary measure, all classes would be held virtually on Monday to allow for a "reset" and an opportunity to deescalate tensions.

This situation is emblematic of the growing divide between extremists on both sides of the political spectrum, with Davidai emphasizing the need for moderate voices from both Republicans and Democrats to unite for the sake of America.
