Columbia Anti-Israel Group Posts “Death to America” After Strikes Kill Iranian Supreme Leader

A radical anti-Israel student organization operating under Columbia University’s name posted “Death to America” in Persian following successful U.S. and Israeli military strikes that eliminated Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the weekend.

Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) brazenly declared “Marg bar Amrika” on social media Saturday, openly siding with America’s enemies in a shocking display of anti-American extremism that confirms what conservatives have long warned about: radical leftist groups on college campuses now actively root against their own country.

The group’s treasonous post came as President Donald Trump confirmed the successful elimination of Khamenei during “Operation Epic Fury”—a massive joint U.S.-Israeli military operation that decapitated Iran’s terrorist-sponsoring regime.

Radical Group Doubles Down After Platform Suspension

When social media platform X forced CUAD to delete the inflammatory post to regain account access, the group defiantly announced Saturday evening: “X forced us to delete our ‘marg bar amrika’ tweet in order to gain back access to our account but the sentiment still stands.”

This wasn’t a moment of poor judgment. This was deliberate solidarity with an Islamic theocracy that has murdered tens of thousands of its own citizens, funds terrorism across the Middle East, and chants “Death to America” as official state policy.

The audacity is breathtaking. While Iranian citizens worldwide celebrated their liberation from decades of brutal oppression, privileged American radicals hiding behind a prestigious university’s name mourned the death of one of history’s most murderous tyrants.

Trump Confirms Historic Operation

President Trump’s confirmation of Khamenei’s death marks a watershed moment in Middle Eastern geopolitics. The operation successfully removed the architect of Iran’s terrorist network and regional destabilization efforts.

Trump made clear that diplomacy has become “much easier now” and indicated he knows “exactly who” could replace Khamenei. Both Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have framed the campaign as creating conditions for genuine political transformation within Iran—regime change led by the Iranian people themselves, not imposed from outside.

While carefully avoiding characterizing the action as formal “war,” Trump emphasized the mission’s clear objective: eliminating direct threats to the United States and its allies. This is what peace through strength looks like.

The Context These Radicals Ignore

“Operation Epic Fury” came after months of escalating internal turmoil within Iran. Massive nationwide protests erupted in December following the regime’s economic mismanagement and continued prioritization of funding terrorism over caring for its own citizens.

The regime’s response? Wholesale slaughter. Conservative estimates suggest over 30,000 Iranians were massacred in just one month as the Islamist dictatorship desperately clung to power through bloodshed and mass graves.

This is the regime CUAD mourns. This is the government these campus radicals defend. This is the tyranny they celebrate while enjoying the freedoms America provides.

Iranians Celebrate Liberation

While cosplayed revolutionaries at Columbia posted propaganda in Persian—a language most of them likely cannot even read—actual Iranians around the world took to the streets in celebration. Iranians living under the boot of radical Islamist oppression rejoiced at the news of Khamenei’s death.

The contrast could not be starker: oppressed people celebrating freedom while privileged American leftists lament the demise of their oppressor.

These celebrations weren’t isolated incidents. From Los Angeles to London, from Toronto to Tel Aviv, Iranian diaspora communities erupted in joy at the possibility of genuine change in their homeland. They understand what CUAD refuses to acknowledge: Khamenei’s death represents hope for millions suffering under theocratic fascism.

Columbia’s Belated Disavowal

Facing intense backlash, Columbia University issued a statement claiming CUAD “is not affiliated with the school” and asserting “there is no evidence that anyone currently in control of their account is a current Columbia student, staff, or faculty member.”

The university declared the group “illegally using the Columbia name.”

Too little, too late. Where was this forceful rejection when CUAD spent months organizing anti-Israel protests, spreading propaganda, and creating the hostile environment that made Columbia’s campus a no-go zone for Jewish students?

Columbia’s sudden discovery that this group operates independently rings hollow. For years, universities have provided cover, resources, and legitimacy to radical organizations exactly like CUAD. Only when these groups commit public relations disasters—like literally posting “Death to America”—do administrators suddenly claim no connection.

The Poison on Campus

This incident exposes the rot within American higher education. These institutions have become breeding grounds for anti-American radicalism, where students are indoctrinated to despise their own country and lionize its enemies.

CUAD’s response to Khamenei’s death wasn’t an aberration. It’s the logical conclusion of decades of leftist academic poisoning. When students are taught America is inherently evil, Israel is illegitimate, and Third World dictators are freedom fighters resisting imperialism, this is what you get.

The same campuses that demand safe spaces from uncomfortable words have become dangerous spaces where openly supporting terrorist regimes draws no institutional consequences—until the public notices.

A Clear Choice

The contrast between the Trump administration and these campus radicals illustrates the fundamental divide in American politics.

On one side: leadership willing to take decisive action against terrorist-sponsoring regimes, defend America’s interests, and support genuine freedom movements.

On the other: campus radicals who side with theocratic murderers, spread enemy propaganda, and actively celebrate America’s adversaries.

This isn’t about foreign policy nuance or legitimate debate over military intervention. This is about choosing sides between freedom and tyranny, between America and its enemies, between civilization and barbarism.

CUAD made its choice clear. Every American should remember which side these radicals chose when it mattered.

The question now is whether Columbia and other universities will finally hold accountable the extremist elements operating under their institutional protection—or whether “Death to America” is simply another viewpoint deserving equal consideration in the campus marketplace of ideas.

The answer will reveal whether American higher education can be salvaged or whether these institutions have become irredeemably compromised by anti-American radicalism masquerading as academic freedom.
