Two students involved in a February 16 anti-Zionist protest at Brooklyn College received a verbal warning after interrupting a faculty meeting and allegedly calling one faculty member a “Zionist pig”.

Approximately ten students were present at the February protest, demanding the removal of Zionists from Brooklyn’s campus and “racist” class offerings. Students called the Chairman of the Faculty Council, Yedidyah Langsam, a “Zionist pig” after he told the students they were out of order. Some faculty members applauded and encouraged the students, and the faculty meeting ultimately had to be adjourned early.
