    Columbia University student of Jewish descent files lawsuit against university after participating in anti-Israel protest

    The Columbia University campus was rocked by controversy after a Jewish student was suspended for releasing “novelty fart sprays” during an anti-Israel rally. The student, known as “John Doe” in court documents, claimed that his actions were harmless and meant as a form of expression against the pro-Hamas pro-Palestine message being promoted at the rally.

    The gag gifts, called “Liquid Ass” and “Wet Farts,” were purchased on Amazon for $10.99 and sprayed into the air, not directed at any specific person. However, following the incident, members of the university groups Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace reported experiencing headaches, fatigue, and nausea from the smell, which they described as “raw sewage” and “dead mouse.”

    The student, who is a former member of the Israeli military, was suspended for a year and a half for disruptive behavior, harassment, and endangerment. His lawyer, Jeff Lichtman, argued that the university’s investigation was flawed and biased, leading to an improper finding of responsibility.

    The lawsuit filed against Columbia University accuses the institution of violating civil rights laws and breaching contract. It also alleges that the student received death threats and was forced to leave his apartment due to safety concerns.

    Despite the allegations of harm caused by the spray, there has been no medical evidence to support the claims. The lawsuit claims that the spray is harmless, non-toxic, and available for purchase by anyone on Amazon.

    The incident has sparked a debate on campus about free speech, expression, and the handling of controversial actions during protests. Columbia University’s president was expected to address issues of antisemitism on campus, further highlighting the tensions surrounding the incident.
