The White House has condemned anti-Semitic remarks from a Columbia University student protest organizer who said that “Zionists don’t deserve to live in this world.”

White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement on April 26 that spreading this kind of “dangerous” rhetoric should “serve as a wakeup call.”
