Antisemitism at Columbia U. leads to lawsuit; Arab American News Journo facing 5 years in prison

 

Jewish students sue Columbia University

over ‘severe and pervasive’ antisemitism

by Katherine Donlevy, New York Post, February 21, 2024:


Jewish students hit Columbia University with another lawsuit Wednesday over claims the prestigious school has allowed “rampant antisemitism” to flourish amid the ongoing Hamas-Israel conflict.

The suit — filed by five students and two nonprofits — alleges that Columbia has not substantially intervened as Jewish hate intensified on campus in the months since the Middle Eastern war broke out.

Columbia, one of America’s leading universities, has for decades been one of the worst centers of academic antisemitism in the United States,” documents filed in Manhattan federal court states….


 


‘Death to the Zionist’: American Journalist Arrested After Threatening to Kill Jews, Zionists, and Federal Workers


by Jack Elbaum, Algemeiner, February 21, 2024:

After making death threats against Jews and government officials, a freelance journalist for the Dearborn, Michigan-based publication The Arab American News, was arrested earlier this week and now faces up to five years in federal prison.

Forty-one-year-old Jeffrey Stevens, who lives in Indiana, was charged with one count of making threats using interstate communication, which carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison.

He reportedly wrote “I am going to kill every Jew in ft. Wayne, and there is nothing you can do to stop it because you are stupid n***ers,” in a Facebook message to Indiana’s Fort Wayne Police Department. He continued, “I am going to make sure I kill every one of you, especially the dark ones, and there is nothing you stupid n***ers can [do] about it.”

According to an affidavit, he also threatened to “shoot every pro-Israel U.S. government official” and “make sure that every CIA member who is pro-Israel is eliminated.”

He claimed he had “strong Palestinian, Hezbollah, and Iranian contacts.

In December, Stevens also allegedly wrote “People will remember me. I am going to be the pro-Palestinian who finally had enough that i started eliminating CIA operatives. You will only be remembered as one of the many bitches who were slaughtered. I am going to make sure that every CIA member who is pro-Israel is eliminated. I am so confident that I will give you my phone number, and there is nothing you can do about it because you are a botch [sic]. I will f**k you up.”

He admitted to making such threats during an interview with the FBI in early February, according to reports. He claims that he was drunk when he did so.

His writing is so bad that I wouldn't be surprised if he was drunk when he wrote most of that. However, that should not be an excuse.
