It&#8217;s unclear how and whether the university will follow through on those threats and enforce its suspension of Parisi. Columbia did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Columbia informed Parisi of his suspension last Wednesday, making him unable to participate in classes and extracurriculars or to enter campus without prior arrangements. The student was given 24 hours&#8217; notice to leave his campus apartment.<\/p>\n<p>The now-infamous &#8220;Resistance 101&#8221; event, which the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> attended virtually, was hosted by Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a coalition of student groups, on March 24. The event featured speakers who explicitly endorsed terrorism against Jews.<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte Kates, a member of the Israeli-designated terror group Samidoun, praised Hamas&#8217;s Oct. 7 terror attack for showing &#8220;the potential of a future for Palestine liberated from Zionism.&#8221; Khaled Barakat, a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine activist, also lauded the terror group&#8217;s airplane hijackings as &#8220;one of the most important tactics that the Palestinian resistance have engaged in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Kates and Barakat, the March 24 event featured Within Our Lifetime founder Nerdeen Kiswani, who has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/resources\/blog\/nerdeen-kiswani-and-within-our-lifetime-united-palestine-what-you-need-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called for<\/a> Israel to be &#8220;wiped off the map.&#8221; The three speakers routinely praised Hamas and Hezbollah, advocated for armed resistance against Israel, and encouraged attendees to &#8220;be of service \u2026 to the resistance movements that are on the front lines fighting Zionism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Columbia University Apartheid Divest hosted another unsanctioned <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/campus\/columbia-students-hold-unsanctioned-pro-palestinian-rally-setting-up-showdown-with-university-administrators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rally<\/a> in the wake of the &#8220;Resistance 101&#8221; event, testing the will of the university to follow through on its threats to discipline attendees.
