"Students Demand Accountability for Professor's Controversial Statement at Cornell University"

Students at Cornell University are calling for action against associate professor Russell Rickford after he expressed his exhilaration over Hamas' assault on Israel, which resulted in the deaths of 1,400 people. Two students, with families in Israel, expressed concern for their safety on campus and accused Rickford of inciting violence. Rickford defended his remarks, stating that they were in support of Palestinian resistance against Israeli war crimes. The controversy has sparked student protests and calls for accountability from the university's board.
