Last week, Cornell University in Ithaca, New York abruptly withdrew its invitation to singer Kehlani to perform at an upcoming campus event. In a letter to students, Michael I. Kotlikoff, president of Cornell, accused the singer of antisemitism and cited a need to avoid “division and discord.” Kotlikoff’s false and contemptible charge of antisemitism is based solely on Kehlani’s public opposition to Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians. Acting as an arm of the US government, the Cornell administration seeks to silence opponents of the Zionist state’s crimes against humanity.
