Fact Check: Columbia University Apartheid Divest, it’s member organizations, and its allies(such as Within Our Lifetime, Students For Justice in Palestine, Jewish Voices for Peace, Neutering Karta, ANSWER coalition and Party for Socialism and Liberation) have promoted terrorist organizations (such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis), totalitarian regimes (such as Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, and Baathist Syria) and stated that they are “fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization”. All of these are reasonable grounds to label them as extremists.
