NEW YORK - Columbia University announced on Monday the revision of its anti-discriminatory guidelines, introducing new policies explicitly addressing the use of terms like “Zionist” when employed to target Jews or Israelis, in an effort to combat antisemitism and provide clearer criteria regarding harassment. The 73-page document prohibits coded language and includes a detailed checklist for students filing complaints.

Columbia’s actions emulate those of other universities, such as NYU, which announced last month that anti-Zionist discrimination may violate its student conduct rules.

    There were many Jews in the protests nobody was calling them Zionists.

    People protesting against Genocide know the difference between Zionists and Jews. The administration is just lying because they are Zionists.

      This type of argument may make you feel better, but it doesn’t really help anything but make you think better of yourself. Listen to what others say in discourse, or they won’t listen to you.

      Far too many make enemies out of allies and hurt their own cause in the process.

        Anyone supporting israel deserves to be shamed. What’s next, inclusion for people who wave around Swastikas?

        I’m going to call a Nazi a Nazi and a Zionist a Zionist. Zionism is the name their death cult gave themself in the 1900s.

          The problem is you want to feel better. Not change something. Some people just like feeling better than others, others like making other things better.
