Zoe Bernstein, the president of the group 'Cornellians For Israel', told the Jerusalem Post about the increasingly hostile campus environment leading up to the threat.
Cornell has a bad history of poor mental health. They have a super diverse set of students. And as much as any Ivy League, they have those generational admissions who are just angry white kids spoiled rotten by brilliant or wealthy parents. I’d take any threat at Cornell seriously, even though this reads as trolling, the far right will take advantage of any and every crisis to post hateful things.
It’s like in 2020 people showing their garage door spray painted with “ANTIFA” and “Joe Biden Rulez BLM” or something, it’s such a classic move to claim pro-Palestinians as antisemitic that it’s cliche. Though you’re right that it’s not impossible to be a legitimate threat so it’s good to be careful.

Omg right! Hundreds of those fucking false flag incidents or whatever they’re called, over the last few years.
