Tech entrepreneur and X owner Elon Musk this week predicted that the entire Left will be anti-Semitic in the near future. Musk made the remarks in response to a post from Columbia University Assistant Professor Shai Davidai, a Jewish professor who was denied entry at the campus last week.
Davidai, in his post, criticized the anti-Israel protests that have gone on for weeks at Columbia and other colleges across the U.S.
“When all is said and done, and those who excuse, support, glorify, and identify with Hamas and the Islamic Jihad are removed from @Columbia and other U.S. colleges, I will not be happy. I will be relieved. But I will also be disappointed. Disappointed by the complete lack of leadership at @Columbia and @Harvard and @Yale and @CUNY and @Stanford and @UCLA and @UCBerkeley and @Penn and many other U.S. colleges,” he wrote.
“Disappointed by media outlets like @NYTimes and @60Minutes who, for six months, have been playing ‘both-sidesism,’ downplaying the risk of antisemitism and terrorism, and giving Hamas supporters airtime. Disappointed by the mayors of New York City and Chicago and Los Angeles and New Haven and Boston and Palo Alto and many other American metropolis who care more about polling averages than about doing the right thing,” he added.
According to Davidai, he is the most disappointed in Columbia University and others like it who have decided to “look the other way” and let anti-Semitism grow on their campuses.
“I’ve been personally warning about this for six months and none of your listened. I’m just glad you’re listening now,” he concluded.
When all is said and done, and those who excuse, support, glorify, and identify with Hamas and the Islamic Jihad are removed from @Columbia and other U.S. colleges, I will not be happy.
I will be relieved.
But I will also be disappointed.
Disappointed by the complete lack…

Musk responded to the tweet, saying, “The young on the left are obviously already openly anti-Semitic. As they grow in seniority, this will become the entire left.”

The remarks come as many lawmakers on the Left have supported the numerous anti-Semitic demonstrations that have sprung out of college campuses. Despite the protesters showing support for terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah, with some chanting “intifada,” a call for violent terrorist attack against Israel and its supporters, Democrat lawmakers like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have gone as far as visiting the demonstrators in a show of support.
