The University of Cornell has chosen to launch the controversial anti-Israel Kehlani artist of his slope day after the president of the University, Michael Kotlikoff, said the initial decision “Division and Discord.”
The university was criticized for inviting Kehlani, described As a “vile Jewish enemy”, to act on his Ivy League campus. As Breitbart News reported, “Kehlani has a musical video that begins with” Long live the intifada “, an Arabic word that translates into” shaking “and the Palestinian context, is understood as a civil uprising.”
He has also published anti-Israel feelings on social networks, publishing maps that completely eliminate the state of Israel. However, Cornell initially defended the decision to present it, a spokesman who affirms that the holder was “selected by the Student Slope Day Planning Board after a student survey.”
“Kehlani was chosen based on his popular and the genre of his music. He recently acted in the expression or political incident of the University of Northeastern,” added the spokesman.
However, the reaction has been so severe that the decision has been reversed by President Michael Kotlikoff.
“Unfortunately, although it was not the intention, the selection of Kehlani, since this year’s holder has injected division and discord on the day of the slope,” hey fixedAccording to him New York Post.
“In the Days Since Kehlani was announced, I have heard grave concerts from our community that many are Angry, Hurt, and confused that Slope Day Would Feature feature a performer who has squused anti -Semitic, Ingelimans, and Hoolscrael, Heathms, Heathms, Heaths Contrames, HEATHS CONTENTS, HEATHTimes, and HEATHTimes, and Ontims, and Ontims, and Ontims, and Ontims, and Ontims, and Ontims, and Ontims, and Ontims. – Even if it’s hateful – But the day of the University’s slope “It is about joining our community, not dividing it.”
Cornell student, Amanda Silberstein, president of the Chabad Center of the School and vice president of the Cornell Student Group for Israel, was one of those who initially criticized the controversial election.
“For a university that claims to value inclusion and safety for all students, this decision is not just a deaf tone, it is deeply alienating,” said Silberstein.
“By inviting some with such a deeply worrying story or anti -Semitism to head one of our most high profile campus, Cornell is sending a message that Jewish safety and well -being are negotiable,” he added.
