   Cornell University is set to host a panel—on the holiest day of   
   the year for Jewish students—featuring a professor who compared   
   the Jewish state to Nazi Germany, claiming that Palestinians in   
   the Hamas-controlled Gaza strip are living in an "extermination   
   camp, run by Jews."   
      
   The Cornell Institute for Comparative Modernities panel, which   
   is titled "Palestine and Indigenous North America," is the final   
   event in a series about "Settler Colonialism, Sovereignty,   
   Apartheid." The panel includes Cornell American Studies   
   professor Eric Cheyfitz, who has compared Israel to Nazi   
   Germany, and University of Kansas professor Robert Warrior, a   
   vocal proponent of the anti-Israel boycott movement, who claimed   
   that Israel "illegally confiscates Palestinian lands, it   
   literally blows up Palestinian homes, house by house."   
      
   The event comes as Jews on college campuses are facing increased   
   incidents of anti-Semitism, with the federal government   
   investigating allegations of anti-Jewish harassment at multiple   
   schools, including the University of Southern California and the   
   University of Vermont.   
      
   The event will take place on Oct. 5, which falls on Yom   
   Kippur—precluding many Jewish students and community members   
   from attending. Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year for   
   Jews during which they are required to fast and refrain from   
   working.   
      
   "The terrible ironies of history: Gaza has become an   
   extermination camp, run by Jews," Cheyfitz, the Cornell   
   professor, wrote on Twitter in 2014.   
      
   Cheyfitz equated Gaza, the Palestinian territory that Israel   
   withdrew from in 2005 and which is controlled by the Hamas-led   
   government, to the Warsaw Ghetto under Nazi Germany.   
      
   He also described Israel as a "terrorist organization,   
   projecting its crimes on the defenders of human rights," and   
   claimed "Apartheid Israel is in its death throes. The symptoms:   
   Violence, in its desperation, is all Zionism can offer the   
   world."   
      
   The panel seeks to draw comparisons between Palestinians and   
   colonialized groups, while discussing "settler colonialism and   
   the comparative context of Palestine," according to an event   
   description. It is part of a yearlong series of panel   
   discussions.   
      
   Cornell did not respond to a request for comment.
