Danny Danon, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, has been invited to give a talk at Columbia University. Danon refers to African migrants as “infiltrators” and “a national plague”; he cheers the murder of activists delivering aid to Gaza; he wants to strip Palestinians in Israel of all rights unless they sign a loyalty oath to Israel “as a Jewish state”; he writes in the New York Times that Israel should annex the West Bank, abandoning even the pretence of the “two-state solution.”
We have come together to protest Donald Trump in recent weeks. Untroubled by the anti-Semitism of Trump’s closest advisors, Danon is a cheerleader for Trump and the Republican right. From racist walls to repressive border policing, Trump copies Israel. Danon is the official representative of a state born, like America, through savage ethnic cleansing of the original inhabitants. His is a state that has besieged and bombed the Palestinian people since its inception. Their alliances are global, and ours must be too. We will beat the far-right, but we will only beat them if we turn up everywhere to fight them.
We do not welcome virulent racists on our campus. Join us in protest on Monday February 13 at 6:45pm at Lerner Hall (2920 Broadway between 114th and 115th streets).
