Columbia University professor Shai Davidai, who has previously faced harassment from antisemitic faculty and students, has recently been threatened by a Hamas-supporting imam.

In a public video, the imam, Tom Facchine, was seen instructing the Students for Justice in Palestine group to act against the Israeli professor to "create a situation that gets him into trouble and takes him out." The imam also mentioned that such actions could "silence" another 100 Jewish professors.

In response, Davidai posted on the X platform on Saturday night, stating, "Students for 'Justice' in Palestine at Columbia invited an imam who instructed them to target me and 'create a situation' that gets me in trouble." He added, "Hey Columbia, Are you OK with a pro-terror student organization inviting a Hamas-supporting imam that's telling students to 'take out' one of your Jewish professors?"
