Columbia group's antisemitic newspaper draws outrage from NY lawmaker, as university investigates

Columbia issued a statement about the paper on Friday.

"Using the Columbia name for a publication that glorifies violence and makes individuals in our community feel targeted in any way is a breach of our values," it reads. "As we have said repeatedly, discrimination and promoting violence or terror is not acceptable and antithetical to what our community stands for. We are investigating this incident through our applicable offices and policies."

The publication disturbed some Jewish students, according to the Post.

"When I see stuff like that, the title, 'Myth of the Two-State Solution,' these people don't want peace," Brooke Chasalow, 20, said.

Another student who refused to provide her identity said she is "supportive."

"I encourage the diversity of ideas in a school when we're being censored," she told the Post.
