James, 20, made the comments in January during a disciplinary hearing on Zoom with Columbia administrators, which he recorded and then posted to social media.

Comparing Zionists to white supremacists and Nazis, he said “These are all the same people. The existence of them and the projects they have built, i.e. Israel, it’s all antithetical to peace. It’s all antithetical to peace. And so, yes, I feel very comfortable, very comfortable, calling for those people to die.”

He added that everyone should “be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.”

Following a viral post by the Daily Wire‘s Kassy Dillon, James posted the following statement.
