Columbia Teachers College professor’s office vandalized with swastikas, anti-Semitic slurs

The open hatred of Israel on university campuses, in the mainstream media, and now corporate America, is what is driving the surge in anti-Semitic incidents across the United States. The significant increase in anti-Israel activity (which began to increase under President Obama) is a direct result of high levels of Muslim immigration.

“Columbia Teachers College professor’s office vandalized with swastikas, anti-Semitic slurs,” by Karen Xia, Columbia Spectator, November 29, 2018:

Midlarsky is a professor of psychology and education whose research interests include altruism, religiousness, and the Holocaust.A Teachers College spokesperson was unable to comment on the specifics of the incident but provided a statement made by Teachers College president Thomas Bailey….
