ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA IN THE MEDIA     Morton Klein to Newsmax: More Action Needed on Columbia Leaders By Sandy Fitzgerald (May 5, 2024 / Newsmax) A call from Columbia University's chapter of the American Association of University Professors for a vote of no confidence in university President Minouche Shafik and other officials for calling in the New York Police Department to clear out an occupied building at the school was an "extraordinary request" but not enough, Morton Klein, the president of the Zionist Organization of America, said on Newsmax Sunday. "We are also very unhappy with Shafik for different reasons because she has refused to expel students that were violating the law and violating Columbia University policies," Klein told Newsmax's "Wake Up America." "We're angry at the board for not making it clear that Shafik better change and get rid of these terrible students or they'll fire her." The school's chapter of the AAUP last week included the co-chairs of the board of trustees and Chief Operating Officer Cas Holloway in its call for a no-confidence vote after the NYPD was called to sweep Hamilton Hall and the campus from protesters, reports The Columbia Spectator. The chapter said the decision was "made without consultation with the University Senate, in violation of established procedures, by recourse to so-called emergency powers." Klein, meanwhile, criticized the Biden administration in part over the actions of Hamas and Hezbollah, saying that the Trump administration had left Iran, the country that funds the terrorist organizations, with almost no money.  "President [Joe] Biden and [Antony] Blinken and [Barack] Obama behind the scenes have funded Iran to the tune of $26 billion, this terrorist regime, and ignored sanctions, allowing Iran to earn another $40 billion, to $50 billion, to $100 billion. This is the money they've used to fund Hamas and Hezbollah."   CONTINUE READING     Share This Email Share This Email   DONATE     Copyright © Zionist Organization of America 2024, All rights reserved.
