The Cornell Professor Who Called the Terrorist Slaughter of Jews "Exhilerating" Is Takes a Leave of Absence

He initially refused to retract his statement.

Now, after being told, I'm sure, he would be fired unless he pretended to recant, he pretends to recant.

Oh and of course he's black so Jake Tapper will just not run his picture when he talks about Trump MAGA Republicans stirring up all sorts of antisemtism.

The Cornell professor who called the Hamas terror attack on Israel "exhilarating" and "energizing" is now on a leave of absence until at least the end of the semester.
Russell Rickford, an associate professor of history, went viral for the incendiary remarks to students during a pro-Palestinian protest soon after the Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel killed 1,400 people, mostly civilians.
"It was exhilarating. It was exhilarating, it was energizing," he was seen telling the crowd, claiming "you would not be human" not to feel the same.
"I was exhilarated!" he said to a smattering of applause.
After initially standing by his statements, the embattled professor later apologized "for the horrible choice of words," admitting they were "reprehensible" -- before his students were told he would no longer teach this semester.

"Professor Russell Rickford has requested and received approval to take a leave of absence from the university," the Ivy League school confirmed to the campus newspaper, the Cornell Review.
His students first became aware Friday in an email from Professor Tamika Nunley saying she would be taking over his course on post-Civil War African American history.
"Professor Rickford will be taking a leave of absence and I will assume teaching responsibilities for this course for the remainder of the semester," she wrote the students in an email obtained by the Review.
A petition demanding Rickford's termination has gained almost 11,000 signatures on Change.org, the outlet reported, noting that among those who called for his resignation are US Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and US Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY).
In an Oct. 17 statement signed by Cornell president Martha Pollack and board of trustees chairman Kraig Kayser, the school condemned Rickford's remarks.
"We learned yesterday of comments that Professor Russell Rickford made over the weekend at an off-campus rally where he described the Hamas terrorist attacks as 'exhilarating,'" Pollack and Kayser wrote.
"This is a reprehensible comment that demonstrates no regard whatsoever for humanity," they continued. "The university is taking this incident seriously and is currently reviewing it consistent with our procedures."
In his recent apology, Rickford said in a statement: "I apologize for the horrible choice of words that I used in a portion of a speech that was intended to stress grassroots African American, Jewish and Palestinian traditions of resistance to oppression.
"I recognize that some of the language I used was reprehensible and did not reflect my values," he added.

Right right right right right. When the trustees started making noises about your remarks being reprehensible -- and therefore fireable -- suddenly you saw the light, right, hero?

25 Pollock and Keyser are treating the Hamas slaughter as a PR problem. So Rickford's comments are not seen as moral breakdown but instead as a PR issue. They condemn his comments but not Hamas evil.

56 Shooter was not a firearms instructor & was prohibited from owning guns

In an updated statement, U.S. Army said Card was not trained as a firearms instructor, as police had originally reported.
He had been in a mental health facility for 2 weeks this summer & that he had reported “hearing voices and threats to shoot up” the military base. No information was provided about Card’s treatment or diagnosis.
Katie Card, said he’s had acute episodes of mental health struggles over the past year. She said Card began hearing voices that weren’t there – especially the voices of people “bashing” him, including at the bowling alley & Schemengees bar, & he would get angry when he was told the voices were just in his head.
According to the State Bureau of Investigation, Card is categorized as “Federal Firearms Disqualified Status,” though it remains unclear what law barred him from possessing a firearm. Mainers who have had their weapons confiscated through the state’s “yellow flag law” does not appear to include anyone matching Card. A spokesperson for the state police did not respond to a message asking for clarification about why Card was prohibited.

Hamas co-opted the former phrase, but among Palestinians it is seen as a call for liberation, not genocide.

I guess MLK must have been calling for the destruction of America when he said this then by that logic.

"So let freedom ring from the hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania"...etc

Im my conversations with my daughters' classmates, many of whom are politically active, NONE of them were aware of the history of Israel in the 20th century. Most assumed that "Paltestine" was sovereign nation that "colonial" European Jews seized by force.

History in this country needs a rework incredibly bad. It's been severely censored. Case in point - the fight against CRT & the lack of atrocities committed against First Nations people.

Miss Linda is a few years younger than me. On top of that she never watched "popular" TV much, except for Trek and The X Files. When one of the over-the-air channels had a WKRP marathon a year or so back, I got her to watch the turkey episode.

She said everybody on the episode was making fun of the turkeys' deaths. I give up.

I read an article by a young Jewish mother this morning… 10 years ago she was in college and of course as liberal as can be and even appeared in debates taking the Pali side. She happened to see a disgusting video of some hateful trans ghoul tearing down posters of missing Jews kidnapped by Hamas calling them “calabra” which means “dog” in Arabic…. Just completely disgusting behavior. Punchline: she had been friendly with the ghoul in college. I hope she’s waking up to the fact that her political “friends” want her and her children dead. Even more irony: the trans ghoul is blind to the reality they’d throw her off a building in Gaza…

154 Bass family recovers $20,000.000 from Yale:

The announcement followed a series of articles in the Wall Street Journal capped by a scathing editorial Tuesday that lambasted Yale for failing to implement a Western civilization curriculum mandated in the 1991 donation from Bass, a 1979 graduate. The Journal said Bass demanded a refund after reaching “the logical conclusion about Yale’s treatment of his endowment.”

The final blow apparently came when Yale refused to honor Bass’ request to approve faculty appointments to the Bass Program of Common Study in Western Civilization. Bass envisioned the curriculum as focusing on the ancient thinkers, artists and writers who shaped the European culture on which much of modern American society is based.

I knew a landlord (well, slumlord - it is a college town, after all) there who told me he paid his property taxes monthly and that the check was about the same size as the one he sent to the bank for the mortgage.

Every month.

Ithaca is known throughout the Southern Tier for being ludicrously expensive. It's also where I saw two different absurd political messages in one day. The first was a house with a flagpole. The flags were, in ascending order, the flag of they City of Ithaca, the flag State of the New York, the American flag and the flag of the United Nations at the top of the heap.

The second was a Volvo with a full-width bumper sticker, white text on a red field. The text read, "Make Living Wage Jobs, Not War." Like the president has big control lever in the Oval, with "jobs" on one side and "war" on the other.

Ithaca is a bad joke. Pretty, though.

Early in their investigation of the shooting at Covenant School, police announced they recovered writings by the suspect they described as a manifesto.

These writings will remain sealed until the case is sorted out in court.

Oh, yeah.

So, it was a commie thing. The "currency" was called the "Ithaca Hour" and it was supposed to represent one hour of labor at a "living wage." At that time, I think it was like $8 or something, but there was no fixed exchange rate to real dollars. Some businesses would accept "Ithaca Hours," most would not. The bills themselves were just xeroxed images on plain paper.

Maybe. I don't remember the name. Had a very nice L-5 Gibson from the late 50s. I picked it up and realized it was heavier than Gibson Jazz Bass. I ended up buying an Eastman in Fredericksburg, VA. That thing has doubled in value since.

Crime writer John D. MacDonald lived in Central NY after WWII; he may have grown up there, I don't know. A few of his postwar novels are set there. But about 1957-58 he headed down to Florida and lived there, and wrote about that state, for the rest of his career and life.

Maybe now we know why he left.

"those bowlers had it coming ... it is ALL their own fault"

To be an affirmative action hire is exactly like being a "special" bowler for whom bumpers have been installed in the lane's gutters.

> You never roll a goose egg;
> No matter how you deliver your roll (your pitch), you score an impressive number of dropped pins; and
> You stand a greater than normal chance of dropping ALL the pins while possessing average skill in he art.

With their playground so rigged, their loud and continual crowing is all braggadocio based on lies.
