A Columbia student with a lengthy resume in the art of protesting has posted a livestream of himself in which he stated that 'Zionists don't deserve to live.'

Rising Columbia University senior Khymani James, who uses 'he/she/they' pronouns, is currently one of the leaders of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment that has overtaken the New York City school's campus.

In a recording of the stream posted to X by Daily Wire journalist Kassy Akiva, James meets with employees of Columbia's Center for Student Success and Intervention over an Instagram post of his that warned Zionists in his DMs that he 'fights to kill.'

An employee asked him: 'Do you see why that's problematic in any way?' He responded: 'No.'

He continues to defend his position, that all Zionists 'don't deserve to live,' sprinkling  cackles and tone shifts throughout the video. 

Seems like a nice person! https://t.co/G3odqeb1Uw

A rally in support of Israel is held outside the gates of Columbia University on April 25, 2024 in New York City. Israel supporters are reacting to the growing number of college campuses throughout the country whose student protesters are setting up pro-Palestinian tent encampments on school ground - police threatened Wednesday to evict the group by Friday

Reasoning through his logic to the university employees, James said: 'I think that taking someone’s life in certain case scenarios is necessary and better for the overall world. I personally have never killed anyone.

'Thank the lord that no one has put me in that position.'

For not the only time in the video, James then compares Zionists to Hitler and Nazi soldiers, as well as Haitian slave owners, whose slaves had to kill them 'in order to gain their independence. 

'These were masters who were white supremacists. What is a Zionist? A white supremacist. So let’s be very clear here, I’m not saying that I’m going to go out and start killing Zionists. 

'What I am saying is that if an individual who identifies as a Zionist threatens my physical safety in person, i.e., puts their hands on me, I am going to defend myself and in that case scenario, it may come to a point where I don’t know when to stop,' he added, narrating the logic he would apply to a situation in which he might, potentially kill a Zionist.

'Zionists don’t deserve to live comfortably, let alone Zionists don’t deserve to live.

'The same way we are very comfortable accepting Nazis don’t deserve to live, fascists don’t deserve to live, racists don’t deserve to live. Zionists, they shouldn’t live in this world,' he said, after calling the meeting both 'institutional violence' and 'a joke.'

'I feel very comfortable, very comfortable, calling for those people to die,' he said just before the stream ends. 

According to the Daily Wire's report, James appears to still be a student at the Ivy League university and a spokesperson for the Columbia University Apartheid Divest group.

On Wednesday, he publicly announced that the school had confirmed it will not call law enforcement to break up the encampment.

A rally in support of Israel is held outside the gates of Columbia University on April 25, 2024 in New York City. Israel supporters are reacting to the growing number of college campuses throughout the country whose student protesters are setting up pro-Palestinian tent encampments on school grounds

The Columbia encampment, launched last week, has sparked similar demonstrations at college campuses across the country, including those at Yale, Boston and Michigan universities.

On Thursday, students in Austin and SoCal also came to blows with authorities ordered to break up the demonstrations.

Dozens of cops clad in riot gear were also patrolling the Columbia campus perimeter Wednesday, as security guards made sure non-students did not enter the campus grounds.

The NYPD, on Wednesday morning, gave the students 48 hours to leave the camp or face arrest.

But defiant students have vowed to stay as the hours bleed into Friday morning.

Tahia, a New York resident in her late twenties who was leading the 116 Street curb-side rally Wednesday said older demonstrators would also be present on the surrounding streets for as long as the student camp continued.

'We’re here in solidarity with the student encampments in Columbia, and in full solidarity with their demands for divestment, for full financial transparency,’ Tahia, who was wearing a keffiyeh over her hair, told DailyMail.com. 

‘We’ll be here every day as long as the encampment is going on,’ she added.

‘We’ll be out on the streets for a grander, bigger demand to stop the genocide in Gaza, an end to all US funding in Israel, an end to western complicity in Zionism.

‘The fact that 40,000 Palestinians have died, have been murdered, and the US is complicit in the 75 year occupation of the Israeli state.’

As protesters started chanting ‘genocide Joe has got to go’ she added: ‘I am by no means voting for Biden.

‘I think the uncommitted vote speaks for itself.

‘Hundreds of thousands of people in the United States are saying that the two party system does not represent them.

‘Whether it’s Biden or Trump, both sides are supporters of genocide … Biden does not represent us.’

She added that she considers Biden, Hillary Clinton and Eric Adams ‘war criminals.’

NYPD officials watch as people demonstrate in support of Israel outside the Columbia University campus amidst the student protest encampment in support of Palestinians

Speaker Mike Johnson held a press conference at Columbia in support of the Jewish students on Wednesday afternoon after describing the pro-Palestine protests as a sign of ‘a troubling rise of virulent antisemitism on America’s college campuses.’

During the conference, the current House Speaker said Jewish students and Israel will 'never stand alone' in the United States. 

Tahia rejected this characterization, telling DailyMail.com that ‘students are on the right side of history right now.'

‘We know we are on the side of justice and peace and we will stay on that side,’ she said.
