Columbia University faced a wave of fury over antisemitism on campus from billionaire donors Monday — with one calling pro-Palestinian mobs on the campus “f—ing crazy.”

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, a Columbia graduate, said he was stopping donations immediately and charged the college with failing to keep its Jewish students safe.

Billionaire investor Leon Cooperman, a business school graduate, said he would stick with a stop on donations which began shortly after the October 7 Hamas massacres.Sources told The Post that other billionaires, including industrialist Len Blavatnik may also consider pulling back as the campus is rocked by pro-Hamas protests which have left Jewish students traumatized.

Little late for Kraft and Cooperman to notice the damage their unsupervised contributions have done.

Columbia’s $13 billion endowment won’t notice the absence of their contributions now.

Maybe if Bob spent less time at those massage parlors he might have noticed.

Take away their tax exempt status. They are for profit and political organizations.

Bob didn’t give 2 $41TS about Columbia having openly racist anti-white curriculum.

What’s different now?

People shouldn’t go to universities.
Trade schools or junior colleges. Just research to make sure they haven’t been destroyed by DEI.

They would have continued donating except for the bad optics of it. Now they have to pretend they're offended.

The Anti-Israeli mob is proving how easy it is to control the weak minded that are unable to think for themselves no logic ever used like a dog chasing cars.

Stupidity is out of hand it shows home many parents have been under control for so many years.
