The suspended Columbia University student that proclaimed “Zionists don’t deserve to live” stood by his incendiary remarks Tuesday after an anti-Israel campus group walked back an apology it offered over the shocking statement last school year.  

Khymani James made clear he doesn’t regret spewing the hateful declaration before he was banished from the Ivy League school amid disruptive protests critical of Israel following the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack.

“I will not allow anyone to shame me for my politics,” he tweeted on Tuesday. “Anything I said, I meant it.”

During a January disciplinary hearing with the university that he livestreamed and blasted on social media, James said that “Zionists don’t deserve to live comfortably, let alone Zionists don’t deserve to live.”

“Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists,” James added. “I’ve never hurt anyone in my life, and I hope to keep it that way.”

The videotaped remarks reemerged in April as anti-Israel protests intensified on campus. Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a student group of which James was a member, then posted a statement that read “Khymani’s words in January do not reflect his view, our values, nor the encampment’s community agreements,” the New York Times reported at the time.

But the anti-Israel organization apologized in an Instagram post Tuesday, stating the previous mea culpa “does not reflect Khymani or CUAD’s values or political lines.”

The group also said while the statement appeared to be on behalf of James, he had no involvement in it.

“We caused irrevocable harm to you by contributing to the ostracization you experienced from your fellow students, fellow organizers, the media, and the public,” the group posted online while stating James faced anti-blackness and queerphobia in the aftermath.

“By issuing a so-called ‘apology,’ CUAD exposed Khymani to even more hatred from white supremacist and queerphobic liberals and fascists, along with the neo-liberal media.”

In the same social media post where James stood by his repulsive remark, he thanked the group for setting “the record straight once and for all.”

The reversal from CUAD, which is made up of dozens of student organizations, incensed Jewish students that attend the university.

“They’re telling me very explicitly that I, as an Israeli, as a Zionist, and as a Jew have no right to live, much less study at the same institution as them,” PhD student Alon Levin told The Post.

“The justification of the desire to murder Zionists and the support for US designated foreign terrorist organizations by CUAD is entirely unsurprising because it’s nothing new,” said undergrad student Eden Yadega, who is part of Students Supporting Israel.

“The question is, why does Columbia still tolerate it? What line will these students have to cross before Columbia takes action?”

A Columbia spokesperson stressed it condemns any comments calling for violence.

“Statements advocating for violence or harm are antithetical to the core principles upon which this institution was founded,” the spokesperson said. “Calls for violence have no place at Columbia or any university.”

James filed a lawsuit against the school last month, arguing he was denied proper protocol when he was suspended in April.

James was actively involved in the anti-Israel encampment protest that took over Columbia starting in early April.
