Since the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel by the terrorist group Hamas, Campus Reform has reported on 18 professors who have showcased their anti-Semitism. However, not one of them has been fired.
At the University of California, two professors, William I. Robinson and Annie McClanahan, signed a letter blaming Israel for Hamas’ attack.
In addition, conservative academic Chris Rufo recently exposed eight elite academics who signed a letter justifying the attack: Adhy Kim and RH Lossin of Harvard University, Eman Abdelhadi of the University of Chicago, Sophie Lewis of the University of Pennsylvania, Marty Cain of Cornell University, Addie Tsai of the College of William and Mary, Aaron Aceves from the University of Texas, and Joshua Nguyen of Tufts University.
Several academics went a step further, taking to both social media and the public to spread anti-Semitism and pro-Hamas rhetoric.
Russell Rickford of Cornell University was recently exposed by Libs of TikTok for calling Hamas’ attacks “exhilarating.”
Lisa Hajjar of the University of California at Santa Barbara posted an image of a bulldozer with a Palestinian flag plowing through a border fence.
Ayesha Khan of Vanderbilt University took to Instagram to defend Hamas’ actions, stating that the terrorists “deserve to resist their oppressors by any means necessary.”
Jemma Decristo of the University of California at Davis threatened Jewish journalists, stating that “they have houses w addresses, kids in school” and that “they can fear their bosses, but they should fear us more.”
Mika Tosca of the Art Institute of Chicago took to Instagram to call Jews “pigs” and “excrement.”
Joseph Massad of Columbia University called the attacks “awesome” and “stunning” in his publication, The Electronic Intifada.
Laura Mullen of Wake Forest University took to X to celebrate the attacks by writing “So it’s kind of a Duh but if you turn me out of my house plow my olive groves under and confine what’s left of my family to the small impoverished state you run as an open air prison I could be tempted to shoot up your dance party yeah even knowing you will scorch the earth.”
Ameer Hasan Loggins of Stanford University allegedly rounded up Jewish students in his class and downplayed the Holocaust, stating that “Colonizers killed more than 6 million. Israel is a colonizer.”

Though Rickford has gone on leave voluntarily and Loggins has allegedly been suspended, none of these professors have been fired from the universities at which they teach. In contrast, the private sector has held those making anti-Semitic statements accountable.
