Columbia University has deactivated the ID card of Shai Davidai, the Israeli-American professor at Columbia Business School whose crusade against pro-Hamas student activity has brought global attention, Davidai claimed on Monday.
"They deactivated my card," Davidai said in a video circulating on social media, adding, "We just want to be Jewish on campus." Further videos showed Davidai attempting to enter the campus but being blocked.
Davidai had earlier advertised a "PEACEFUL sit in at Columbia's declared 'Liberation Zone,'" inviting followers on X to bring Israeli and American flags.
