Columbia University’s Department of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies (MESAAS), has for years been criticized for its anti-Israel sentiment and academic intimidation of Jewish and pro-Israel students.

MESAAS’ professors have openly supported the anti-Israel BDS (Boycotts, Divestments, and Sanctions) campaign, endorsed anti-Israel petitions and resolution, denied Israel’s right to exist and called for the destruction of the Jewish state. They have even expressed blunt anti-Semitic views.
