In response to Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art, and Planning’s (AAP) October 5 event with Brown University professor Ariella Azoulay that featured brazen dehumanization of Jewish immigrants to pre-state Israel, our international campus director Aviva Rosenschein made the following statement:
“Unfortunately, many US universities, including some of the most renowned, have propagated radical and inaccurate anti-Israel sentiment, often first introduced by professors. However, dehumanizing the Jewish people by blackening images of them during an academic lecture because the professor ‘can’t bear to look at them’ is some of the most grotesque and antisemitic behavior to occur within a university setting. Azoulay cannot hide behind her Jewish heritage to justify her virulently antisemitic propaganda that portrays Jews as subhuman, evil creatures.”
