Columbia’s Leading Antisemite

Sydney Johnson is Co-Leader of the Reproductive Justice Collective at Barnard, an activist group at the university. As a leader of the Reproductive Justice Collective, she signed onto a letter sponsored by the anti-Israel, pro-terrorist Columbia University Apartheid Divestment (CUAD) that called for the school to divest from funding Israel.

That means Johnson was a leader of a group that backs “‘armed resistance’ by Hamas,” according to the New York Times. It is also a group that withdrew an apology it made on behalf of a member who said that “Zionists don’t deserve to live.” CUAD even recently called for Hamas to “besiege” Israeli and American embassies.

CUAD supports terrorists, and as a co-signer, Reproductive Justice Collective under the leadership of Sydney Johnson does as well.

Columbia University’s failure to confront antisemitism head-on has led to uncontrollable escalation. Now, the administration must hold these individuals accountable and apply standard policies to prevent this hatred from continuing to thrive on campus.
