Jewish professor quits Columbia, citing 'systematic' anti-Israel bias on campus

A Jewish professor at Columbia University has resigned due to 'systematic' anti-Israel bias on campus. Prof. Avi Friedman cited the university's response to the Hamas attack and campus protests as reasons for his resignation. He condemned the appointment of a professor who celebrated the Hamas attack on Israel and called it a 'complete abandonment of academic integrity and unbiased scholarship.' Friedman stated that Columbia's values are fundamentally incompatible with his own and that he can no longer maintain his association with the institution.
