 Ken Cedeno/ReutersSeveral hours after students at Columbia University set up a "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" in the middle of campus on Wednesday—demanding "divestment and an end to Columbia's complicity in genocide"—the Ivy League school's president was questioned by a congressional panel in a fiery back-and-forth about antisemitism among the student body.
Members of the Republican-led House Committee on Education and the Workforce grilled Minouche Shafik, Columbia Board of Trustees co-chairs Claire Shipman and David Greenwald, and Columbia Law School Dean Emeritus David Schizer, a leader of the school's newly formed Task Force on Antisemitism, during the highly animated session. Jewish students have recently been assaulted and spat on by others at Columbia, and pro-Palestinian students have publicly chanted slogans such as ??"Death to the Zionist state." Rep.

The Western corporate media is failing in its coverage of Israel's war on Gaza, says Palestinian independent journalist Dalia Hatuqa.
