Columbia University law professor Katherine Franke last appeared on Democracy Now! in January to discuss an attack on Columbia's campus targeting pro-Palestinian student activists with a foul-smelling liquid that led to multiple hospitalizations. Following her interview, Franke now faces termination after two Columbia professors filed a complaint against her claiming she had created a hostile environment for Israeli students; she also became a target for Republican lawmakers.
Franke joins Democracy Now! to discuss the campaign against her, the ongoing crackdown on pro-Palestine activism at Columbia and more. "There's an overreaction by the university, a weaponization of the disciplinary system against students and faculty in ways that in my over 40 years at Columbia I have never seen," she says.
We are also joined by attorney Kathleen Peratis, who is representing Franke along with the Center for Constitutional Rights after she quit her former law firm, Outten & Golden, because it dropped Franke as a client, saying she was too controversial. "What happened at Outten & Golden is the kind of thing that's happening all over," says Peratis.

Jeno cidal rhetoric and the crackdown on US universities harkens to WW2 and the Cold War/McCarthyism that followed in the US. The parallels are both harrowing and sickening

What is scarier is all of the US states that already have laws that we aren't allowed to disparage Israel.

@@Method9 That word has basically lost all meaning after how Israel has almost abused it worse than they abuse Palestinians.
Opposing IDF is common sense.
And claiming the IDF's insane actions are 'protecting the jewish community' is the true antisemitism.
Every Israeli has to do national service and most do it before college. So denying anyone who has served in the military is denying all Israelis. She knows this but assumes people like you are so stupid you don't know she is trying to impose a ban on Israeli citizens.
Opposing Hamas is not antisemitic (or anti-Palestinian) either. Now take that argument to the streets of Gaza and see quite literally how long you last.
I applaud the bravery of these two women. 💜
This country has gone insane. Where is common sense and decency?
Insane, indeed. Even in Russia or China their legal systems do not pile up criminal counts on the basis of mere, and shaky, legal theories. This is what before the shameful trial to President Trump in Manhattan Paul Manafort had exposed in his book, "Political Prisoner." Ambitious prosecutors stack as many criminal counts as they can get from all kinds of codes, make a legal theory to justify this, and secure a conviction no matter the legal merit of these criminal counts.
What are "students" that served in the Israeli GENOCIDE Force doing using a chemical weapon in the US?
THEY'RE ABOVE THE LAW - DIDNT U KNOW???
I'm surprised that a law prof framed the issue this way. She spoke of the tendency of IDF veterans to commit violent acts -- this is imputing a propensity to crime based on some characteristic. The point is that these people committed an aggravated assault and must be prosecuted. Stick to the evidence at hand. Their identity is irrelevant.
@@l.w.paradis2108 No. Their identity is totally relevant. You didn't answer the question.

Fathi Hamad, the interior minister in the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip, who cried out for Egyptian assistance during the IDF's operations in the area in March 2012, is another one who certainly had no intention of spoiling Erekat's theories of Canaanite-based land claims. Yet, there can be no misinterpreting his recent statements.
"When we ask for your help, it is so that we can continue the jihad," he said. "Praise God, we all have Arab roots and every Palestinian in Gaza and all over Palestine can prove their Arab roots, whether they be in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, or anywhere else. We have blood ties." "Speaking personally, half of my family is Egyptian," he said. "Where is your mercy? There are over 30 families in the Gaza Strip with the surname Al-Masri, 'Egyptian.' Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptian, and the other half are Saudi. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri whose roots are Egyptian! They come from Alexandria, Cairo, and Aswan. We are Egyptians. We are Arabs. We are Muslims."
Walid Shoebat, a former Fatah activist claims that everyone he met in Palestine "knew to trace the roots of their families to the country from which their great-grandfathers came." He stated: "We knew full well that our origin was not Canaanite, despite what they tried to teach us," he said. "My grandfather would often remind us that our village, Beit Sahour, near Bethlehem, was empty when his father arrived there with six other families. Today, there are over 30,000 residents in the village."
Now I know where the Jew Haters are.
? A lot of Gazans have keys to the homes they were kicked out of located in today's Israel proper.
Portland has unfortunately been hijacked by leftists.
Even Jewish people who speak out against 🇮🇱 cruel treatment of 🇵🇸 are ostracized. That should speak volumes!

Give the demonstrators one place on campus to gather. Signs are fine. No screaming, yelling interfering with or accosting other students.

Miss Peratis announcement that she has quit her law firm and continue to represent Franke brought tears to my eyes. And to later learn she is Jewish just underscored how principled this woman is. I've been following this genocide daily since the Oct 8th, each day hoping for a miracle and that Palestinians would finally get relief from the USA's murderous onslaught in the name of Israel's right to defend itself. I'm very proud of both these women....their humanitarian views and sentiment are growing worldwide however AIPAC and their racist white nationalist constituency are still in the drivers seat.....for now.
The tide will turn eventually as more and more people wake up, stand up and speak up. Our leaders and governments and institutions are no longer fit for purpose, we have voted in the wrong people who lack conscience or a moral compass, their days are numbered.

For viewers not aware, this commenters reference to Kapo and Goldschlag, implies MIss Peratis in the interview is a Jew who has become Jew traitor. Simply because Miss Peratis is showing humanitarian traits and has vocalized her opposition to the extermination of defenseless innocent Pales6tinians. While this genocide is the agenda of the Zionist Jews and AIPAC controlled congress, there are non-Zionist Jews all over the world who do not support the agenda of the Netanyahu regime.

I’ve been keeping up with Dr. Franke’s case, and while I’m all for free speech and academic freedom, I think there’s more to this that needs addressing. Dr. Franke talks about Israeli students being aggressive on campus, and while any kind of harassment is a real issue if it’s happening, I don’t think the answer is to label all Israeli students based on their military service. Let’s not forget, serving in the Israeli military is compulsory, so to use that as a reason to treat students differently seems unfair.
Another thing that concerns me is how the bigger picture is being LEFT OUT-like how Hamas deliberately puts civilians in harm’s way to gain international sympathy. This is a calculated tactic that’s causing real suffering in Gaza, yet it’s barely mentioned in these discussions. Instead, we’re seeing Jewish and Israeli students being singled out, which isn’t helping anyone.
We need a balance. We can and should talk about what’s happening in Gaza, but we also need to be mindful not to create an environment where people feel unsafe for their identity or background. Free speech is about opening up the conversation, not fueling hostility or fear.
Good comment, but good luck finding balance around here!
If you read Herbert Marcuse's "The one-dimensional man" you will find out that this fascistic college milieu is the one-dimensional society that suppresses true dissent.
nobody here talks about the bigger lies told by israel because everybody watching this knows that what actually happens is israel kills palestinians for no reason and then lie by claiming hamas was hiding with civilians,
there is no such thing as balance between the truth and lies.
Stefanik’s political ideology, like McCarthy’s, seems to be rooted in opportunism above all else. Several Jewish politicians and public figures are uneasy about Stefanik’s apparent transformation into a warrior against anti-Semitism given her past willingness to tolerate anti-Semitic tropes within the Republican Party. In her bad faith assault on free speech criticizing Israel, Stefanik is a fitting heiress to the late Senator McCarthy.
Uh huh. Normies hate this crap.

If she represents the college, she shouldn't be expressing public opinions. We don't send our kids to college to have professors or college administrators to act out or speak out on political issues.

KEY WORD: "STUDENTS" can be politically active, they don't need instructors guiding them into it!
Eh, just because you have a job, doesn't mean you stop being an individual entity with independent thoughts. Her freedom of speech is enshrined in the Constitution. She didn't say her thoughts as a representative of her workplace but as an individual. People are not defined by their jobs.
Having a job doesn’t mean you should be censored. Universities should be all about free thinking and critical approach. Secondly shouldn’t you want teachers who will defend your child against attacks from foreign soldiers? Or if your child was sprayed with a chemical weapon it would be A-okay and you wouldn’t want the teachers to speak up about it?

In the 50's my Dad worked a modest job, Mom stayed at home and raised the kids, and they lived a nice middle class lifestyle including owning a home. Nowadays both I and my partner works and can barely afford to make ends meet. Soon the kids and family dog will need to work to keep this household going. It's the destruction of the American dream right before our eyes.
I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation
I feel Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and.exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or a licensed expert in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields
Tracy Britt Cool Consulting was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Tracy.
Immense gratitude for the professors and people of America who oppose censorship - 1st amendment is sacred
This is shocking and terrifying.
"she needs to understand that these students, they have been fighting this enemy and they see this enemy being given 'protected status' from the school and this professor and they are needing to fight the enemy on all fronts, and this professor is trying to besmirch and terrorize these students who are afraid for their own safety, having just come from their honourable service in their military and be intimidated and to be made to feel as if they are under attack for the service to their country, to the point of needing to react to the attacks and harassment by the pro-hamas antisemitic rioters. And this professor is backing them, is attempting to appear as if the harassment to the Israeli students is just acceptable, as they are hampered in their studies, as they are forced to sit in class and have their nation, their religion, their service denigrated and questioned. It is unacceptable, the antisemitism and lack of interest in creating a safe space where all students can learn and proceed in their studies to be members of a productive and democratic society when they graduate."
Or I assume that's what some of the claims are.... Just completely blind to the fact that those same students often go looking for these people to harass, or that there are Palestinian students, students of Palestine descent, Palestinian-American students who are just as entitled to feel safe in their school. Except that their safety is ACTUALLY being hampered, instead of their feelings getting hurt. The desire for divestments or for a ceasefire is not the same as the desire for genocide... And the person desiring a ceasefire has far more humanity and right to claim antisemitism than the one claiming that people in Palestine should all be killed, whether they know the person they're saying it to has friends or family in Palestine or that their home is or was there or that they have any connection to Palestine.... The young adults who are attacking students protesting for PEACE, who are harassing protestors by claiming that they and all the people like them should go to Gaza and be killed like the "rest of the animals" or that the only way to bring peace is to kill and resettle gaza and the west bank.... Those students are antisemitic. They just can't believe that semites are anyone other than them, they have the only claim to that type of hate. They have the only claim to persecution, especially for ones religion or ethnicity... As they do so to another group but believe it is their right because they have a collection of writings that says that God is going to give them that land ... Although, I suppose it might be idolatry to claim England is God. I mean, that might be a little bad in their religion, but whatever, it's the same result, they claimed dibs.
I hate this claiming and decrying of antisemitism for political advantage without any kind of self reflection or understanding. Because no, antisemitism does NOT just apply to the Jewish ethnicity, and certainly not just the religion. Also, a state is not a religion. A state is not an ethnicity. Unless they want to claim that Israel commiting genocide is antisemitic because..... It is somehow in the nature of Jews to seek to commit genocide? It's somehow in the religion that they must destroy all who have what they want..... I don't *think* that is in the religion or DNA of the ethnicity or race. I think that's propaganda put out by a state to influence the people into considering that they are in danger by the mere existence of a people who they ethnically cleansed and who they have allowed little control over their own lives, has constantly been bullied and ruled in an apartheid state.... Basically they took the ways the US handled the native population, and the newly freed black population.... And they say, this worked, we will follow this course. And I guess since the US has never truly come to terms with it's past, how can the US hope to hold Israel to task for doing the same thing? Because it's a different time and people are capable of seeing the horrors of their states past actions and attempting to stop the wrongs they committed. But if the US held Israel to task about it, well, Israel would just laugh and say you can't tell us anything cos you still haven't done anything about your own same actions. Just like the ICC and UN - if the US was okay with the acceptance of all that attempt to hold Israel accountable - well then maybe someone would attempt to hold America responsible..... It's terrible. And america SHOULD be held responsible and choose to reject an attempt to do it again.
I am glad you bring all these guests in the platform. We learn a double standard at its best/worst if it comes to Israel
🙏 Power to these two ❤
Students please 🙏 rise AGAIN ❤
Seriously. I've never felt like the kids were more alright than when the protests kicked off.
Their bravery, our hope.
Due Dissidence - Kamala affirms unequivocal unwavering support for Israel
I am for freedom for Palestinian people, but Trump will be way worse when it comes to Israel.
Yeah vote for Trump he is definitely a better choice. 😂
@@williamolsen20genocide isn’t a “issue” and when it comes to Palestine/Israel it doesn’t get any worse than genocide.
@@williamolsen20 I am not a Trump supporter; I despise the man; but I disagree with you. What decides my vote is this: Harris will sell out to AIPAC DESPITE the base, and Trump will sell out BECUASE of his base. The only way the DNC crowd will learn to heed the core values of their base is for Harris to lose. I do not care what else will happen as a result; I want the Dems to lose and for the monster to win so that they know NEVER to betray those values. This is how we make our votes count for the future. it is the only way to end the DNC double talk. I am going to repeat that on these threads as often as I can.
@@williamolsen20 The DNC double talk on this issue is what decides my decision. Harris will cave in to the lobby despite the sentiments of her base and Trump will sell out because of his base. If our votes are to have meaning in the future, we need to end the double talk on this issue: I am voting for a man I dislike intensely and if enough of us do that the message will be heard: you can't say one thing and then sell out to power and money.
_From the River to the Sea, Israel shall always be_
Free Paletine!🇵🇸, amd Free US!🇺🇸 from AIPAC🇮🇱🤮
We need a lot more role models like professor Franke .Columbia is acting more like an illegal settler colonial entity 🇵🇸
We are told that our democracy and free speech would be under threat by a Trump presidency. What a joke. Life under a Uniparty. I am glad they are standing up for free speech.
Democracy dont include that you can tell a group that serve their nation as dangerous.
Im Swedish
I served my nation
if she say "all Swedish soldiers are dangerous " its racism so she will get fired ....
@@David31567I know who the LIARS are.
the United States of Israel
Love it when Frankie said ‘inshaAllah’. I respond with inshaAllah (if God wills). These ladies are writing history! So proud.
Discretion is sometimes the better part of valor. She could have said the same thing without raising a question of partisanship.
This equally scares and angers me. As far as Israel goes, the curtain's been pulled aside, we have all seen who the Wizard of Oz really is.
She said idf not Jewish, not even Israeli. And, they already have an allegiance to Israel first
Wow Colombia University is a shame and members of the congress are complicit and should be supporting the professor for standing up to what is moral. SHAME.
Campus is really terrible now, students can actually get to class, also no one is chanting Intifada and River to the sea, not even a soul flashing swastikas and Hamas flags. It's really terrible that there are no more riots and occupying buildings. Students actually have to go to class and study now. Quite a shame....
So chanting death to jews and destroying univercity property is ok?
The univercity principle leader says its ok on camera.
ah the double standarts.
Zionism, Serial Mass Murder Sociopathic Madness.
Sociopathy, also known as antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), is a mental health condition that causes people to have a long-term pattern of antisocial behaviors. These behaviors include:
Manipulating others
Exploiting others
Violating the rights of others
Lack of empathy
Aggression
Deceit
Impulsivity
Irritability
Difficulty planning ahead
Sociopathy is different from other mental health conditions because it's chronic, while other conditions are episodic. People with ASPD may not seek help or realize they have a problem.
The biggest Zionist was Abraham and Moses.
@@semsemeini7905 No proof Moses ever existed and there was no such thing as Zion or Israel during Abraham's lifetime.
Greetings from Ireland .. BDS apartheid Israel .. Free Palestine!
So much for freedom of speech, stay strong colleges and universities.
very disturbing. elise stefanik is a variation of joseph mccarthy, and i'll be she thinks that's a compliment. we've seen the privatization of education including the predatory monetization of our universities, this is a result of that takeover.
It’s the teeth-to-tail ratio that makes universities unaffordable; it’s the growth of administrators and staff.
Katherine, you are good, decent, and standing by humanity . The US system is corrupt and owned by the Israeli lobbyist. The lady lawyer is amazing as well as she is doing the right thing
I love when AG asked the lawyer if she was Jewish and she paused to let it sink in... that was a great question. This lawyer is an exemplary example of true justice.
A Kapo? No different than Stella Goldschlag. Listen to Professor Davidai for the correct information.
This is absolutely disgusting behaviour. Murderers allowed on campus and yet innocent are castigated. Sick. Sick. Sick.
Who are these murderers?
@@MrAlexsegal The IDF soldiers obviously.
Unbelievable times. Where's the freedom of speech? Just on paper!
Catherine Franke: a noble soul.
Great segment - great work by Democracy now!
"There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not." -- Arab Princeton Professor, Philip Hitti, before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry in Jerusalem in 1946.
In 1937, Secretary of the Arab Higher Committee to the British Peel Commission, Awni Abd al-Hadi stated: “There is no such country as Palestine. ‘Palestine’ is a term the Zionists invented.”
"We [Palestinians] were never an independent state in history, we were part of an Arab state and an Islamic state.” -- Palestinian Hamas Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahhar (quoted in The Economist, February 2, 2008)
"Never forget this one point: There is no such thing as a Palestinian people, there is no Palestinian entity, there is only Syria. You are an integral part of the Syrian people, Palestine is an integral part of Syria." Syrian President Hafez al-Assad [Addressing the Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization Yasser Arafat during a meeting with leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1976].....................
This is insane. - Good to see two fierce women.
Except they're not antisemitism at all. This is simply racists claiming racism. Unfortunately it's very typical behavior
Shame on Columbia too.
I am sorry to what both are facing ; I thank you for your voice to support the rights of others who are facing such atrocious situations.
We are the citizens of the Arab countries are overwhelmed with your actions and while we are grateful; still we are doing nothing but praying for this nightmare to end.
Absolutely correct - Our institutions are failing us.
When the left went pro kangaroo courts and pro censorship they never thought the same bs fascism would be used against them. How did that hopey changey stuff work you for you?
I don’t feel safe around Israeli soldiers (idf) or any soldiers especially if I know they just came back from war!!
Good grief.
Smart move would be to get rid of the professor. She just creates problems…..for everyone.
Free Columbia now!
I nominate Kathleen Peratis for national public office. She's what we need- bright, principled, and unfortunately what we in America are currently lacking.
100 per cent.
What happened to the 3 Israeli thugs ? Why is this not mentioned ?
“Our institutions are failing us.” An examination of our history would prompt one to ask whether there was ever a time when they weren’t.
"F" the IDF
She said right, idf soldier are a threat
