Signing an Anti-Israel Statement
On May 13, 2021, Logan signed an anti-Israel statement titled: “Recognizing and Condemning Violent Attacks Against Palestinians.”The statement, published on Cornell SA letterhead, said: “We, the undersigned, are writing to condemn the violent and vicious acts of terrorism, ethnic cleansing, and settler-colonialism, that have been plaguing Palestinians for years and specifically regarding recent events.”
The statement also alleged Israel carried out “illegal evictions” and deliberately targeted Palestinians celebrating Ramadan for violent attacks. Claiming “Mosques full of Muslims observing the last 10 days of Ramadan in solitude were attacked with grenades and ransacked,” the statement also alleged that Israel was considering an invasion of Gaza during the Islamic holiday of Eid.
Incitement around Al-Aqsa and Sheikh Jarrah were leading factors in Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorists firing over 4,300 rockets from Gaza at Israel’s major centers on May 10-21, 2021. In response, Israel launched “Operation Guardian of the Walls (OGW),” striking military targets in the terrorist-controlled enclave.
The statement then called on the university administration to “act immediately” to end “their relationship with Technion in Haifa, Israel” and “any relationship between the Cornell University Police Department (CUPD) and Israel.” The statement also called on the University to issue a statement in defense of Palestinian rights and to reconsider investments in Israel.On May 13, 2021, Cornell’s student newspaper, The Cornell Review, reported that Abd Elmagid, as well as Uche Chukwukere, SA Vice President of Finance and SJP Cornell affiliate, and Joseph Mullen, an SJP Cornell activist and incoming College of Arts and Sciences Representative, introduced the anti-Israel statement during the final SA meeting of the year.
The statement was signed by 23 students, but was neither voted on nor enacted by the SA.
