We write in outrage at Princeton University’s decision to offer a course titled “Gender, Reproduction, and Genocide” that calls Gaza an “ongoing genocide” and places it alongside the Holocaust. By doing so, it falsely equates Israel with history’s worst crimes and weaponizes genocide studies to demonize Israel and the Jewish people.

The course is taught by a professor who has denied Hamas atrocities, stating that “we stopped believing them, I hope the world stops believing them,” and claiming that Israelis “started with babies, they continued with rape, and they will continue with a million other lies.”

She has also openly called to “abolish Zionism,” expressing disturbing views that Zionism, the self-determination movement of the Jewish people, “can’t continue, it’s criminal. Only by abolishing Zionism can we continue.”

These are extremist positions that falsify history, fuel antisemitism, and create a hostile environment for Jewish students. Princeton should not legitimize such views under the banner of scholarship, especially at a time when antisemitism on college campuses is at record levels.

We call on Princeton University to cancel this disturbing and problematic course immediately. Antisemitism must have no place in Princeton's classrooms.
