Princeton University is offering a course on “Gender, Reproduction, and Genocide” featuring a professor who denied the fact that Hamas militants raped women and killed babies during Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel.

“This seminar explores genocide through the analytic of gender, with a central focus on the ongoing genocide in Gaza,” a course description reads. “Drawing on decolonial, Indigenous, and feminist thought, we examine how genocidal projects target reproductive life, sexual and familial structures, and community survival.”

Students taking the course—catalogued as Gender and Sexuality Studies 245 and Anthropology 255—will learn from Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, a former senior lecturer at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

The Washington Free Beacon first highlighted the course and its controversial teacher.

An Anti-Israel Professor?

Shalhoub-Kevorkian resigned from the Israeli university in August 2024.

The university had briefly suspended her in March of that year after she said Zionism should be abolished and questioned the Oct. 7 rapes, the Times of Israel reported.

“It’s time to abolish Zionism. It can’t continue, it’s criminal,” she said. “Only by abolishing Zionism can we continue. … They will use any lie. They started with babies, they continued with rape, and they will continue with a million other lies. We stopped believing them, I hope the world stops believing them.”

Authorities arrested her one month later, in April 2024, on suspicion of incitement, but released her a day later.

The professor had also signed an open letter accusing Israel of genocide in October 2023, less than weeks after the Hamas attack.

She reportedly walked back these claims, however. During a meeting with professor Tamir Sheafer, Shalhoub-Kevorkian reportedly “clarified that as a feminist researcher, she believes the victims and doesn’t doubt their claims” and said she did not “deny that there were incidents of rape on Oct. 7.“

Princeton welcomed Shalhoub-Kevorkian to its anthropology department in October 2024.

More About the Gaza Genocide Course

“Drawing on decolonial, Indigenous, and feminist thought, we examine how genocidal projects target reproductive life, sexual and familial structures, and community survival,” the course description reads. “Students will engage reproductive justice frameworks, survivor testimony, and Palestinian feminist critiques of colonial violence, while situating Gaza within comparative histories of the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, and genocide against Black and Indigenous populations.”

Members of Congress have cited antisemitic attacks as evidence of a growing tide of Jew hatred in the United States, and college campuses across the country have become flashpoints for harassment of Jews amid loud protests against Israel’s military response to Oct. 7.

Neither Princeton University nor Shalhoub-Kevorkian responded to The Daily Signal’s request for comment by publication time.
