EXCERPT:
CHEMALI: "So, when I saw the protests of the professors yesterday, I was — I was really displeased with that, and the reason is because, if their argument — their argument is that they are doing it to protect students and that they view that one of the key responsibilities of a professor is to protect a student regardless of that student's views. Fine. No, I don’t have a problem with that per se. But if that is your argument, then where were those professors in protecting the Jewish students when they were being verbally attacked, when some of them had their yarmulkes lopped off their heads, when some of them had their Israeli flags taken and shredded or burned? Where were they with that? They were Jewish students who required escorts to go to seder dinners? That is a New York City in 2024 in America. That’s absurd and I don’t see the professors being equal about that."
