Columbia University protest leader who threatened to kill Zionists suspended over anti-Israel rhetoric

Khymani James, a Columbia University student who had emerged as one of the leaders of the anti-Israel protests on campus, has been placed on “interim suspension.”

James, 20, was placed under suspension, according to the New York Times, citing a notification the student received from the school that was shared with the outlet. During this interim suspension, the school will decide if he will be allowed to return to class, or officially expelled. He was previously banned from campus on Friday after video of him redoubling his comment that “Zionists don’t deserve to live” resurfaced.
