Comment on Student Leader of Columbia Protests: ‘Zionists Don’t Deserve to Live’

The subtitle is pretty important to the headline here:
Khymani James, a junior, apologized for his statements — made before he joined the demonstration — after video surfaced on social media.

Yeah, he apologized after people noticed that he person leading the “peace” demonstration was in favor of mass murder. Not an ok situation.

Would you rather they have not apologized?
Being young and immature means not having a whole lot of subtlety and nuance. That develops overtime. That evolution is very rapid during college, I wouldn’t want to be judged for anything my sophomore year that I did my freshman year.
Also, that is a typical reaction to injustice that is not being addressed. Kill the perpetrators.

An apology is better than none, but the rest of the protesters need to disassociate with him.
The reaction you’re describing is how you end up with the modern settler movement — they see the Arab hate, the ongoing rockets, and and decide to kill and seize.
