James, 20, made the comments in January during a disciplinary hearing on Zoom with Columbia administrators, which he recorded and then posted to social media.

Comparing Zionists to white supremacists and Nazis, he said “These are all the same people. The existence of them and the projects they have built, i.e. Israel, it’s all antithetical to peace. It’s all antithetical to peace. And so, yes, I feel very comfortable, very comfortable, calling for those people to die.”

He added that everyone should “be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.”

Following a viral post by the Daily Wire‘s Kassy Dillon, James posted the following statement.

The Kremlin shrugged off a trip to China by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken during which he raised concerns about Chinese support for Russia’s military, saying Moscow and Beijing would continue to develop their own ties.

Blinken raised concerns on Friday about China‘s support for Russia’s military, one of the many issues threatening to sour the recent improvement in relations between the world’s biggest economies.

Despite its “no limits” partnership with Moscow, China has steered clear of providing arms for Russia’s war in Ukraine, but Blinken said its supply of so-called dual-use goods was “having a material effect in Ukraine.”

China has said it has not provided weaponry to any party and is “not a producer of or party involved in the Ukraine crisis.” However, it says that normal trade between China and Russia should not be interrupted or restricted.

“China is an absolutely sovereign state, a powerful state that is able to defend and protect its interests,” Peskov told reporters when asked about Blinken’s trip and the U.S. pressure on China.

“At the same time, it (China) is our close partner. We will further develop our co-operation.”

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and several international officials will be in Riyadh this week for talks aimed at pushing for a peace agreement in Gaza to be held on the sidelines of a World Economic Forum meeting, the WEF’s president said on Saturday.

“We do have the key players now in Riyadh and hopefully the discussions can lead into a process towards reconciliation and peace,” Børge Brende said at a news conference in Riyadh, adding that Gaza’s humanitarian crisis would be on the agenda.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will attend the meetings alongside regional leaders including Qatar’s prime minister, Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister, Oman’s crown prince and Bahraini officials, Brende said.

Egypt’s foreign minister, Brende said, would be there to update officials on a round of talks Egyptian negotiators held in Israel on Friday in an effort to restart stalled efforts to end the war in Gaza and return the remaining Israeli hostages.

“There is now a bit of momentum for negotiations on the hostages and also a possible ceasefire,” Brende said.
