The anti-Israel protest on Columbia University’s campus has reached its breaking point. Radical progressives, now openly spreading antisemitism, broke into a building and barricaded themselves inside.
They were demanding the school give them food and other resources. Instead, the school finally brought in the NYPD to bring this chaos to an end.
From The Post Millennial:
The NYPD moved in on protesters occupying a Columbia University administration building on Tuesday evening, blocking off the streets from 113th to 118th and surrounding the Morningside campus…By the end of the night, NYPD had cleared Hamilton Hall.
It’s unclear what Columbia will do to students who violated the law and school policy. Some say they will do nothing, while the city will likely press charges. The police released information they’ve uncovered during their investigation. And they have exposed who was behind this chaos.
From Fox News:
The New York City Police Department released a video showing a professional “protest consultant” who was seen on other social media videos instructing a mob of anti-Israel agitators as they took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University overnight Monday.“This group…is an outside agitator with a history of escalating a situation and trying to create chaos… They are not here to promote peace or unity or allow a peaceful display of one’s voice. They are here to create discord and divisiveness.”

The NYPD released footage showing professional “protest consultants” advising Columbia students. According to the mayor, this was an outside group of agitators who trained students how to build barricades, vandalize cameras, and resist arrest.
They apparently were using the discord and confusion of the protest to “serve their own agenda.” It is not clear what this group’s agenda was, but it is likely they were pro-Palestinian progressives pushing a Marxist ideology.
This comes after conservative experts predicted that “foreign influences” were helping to fund and train college campus protests. Students were taught slogans and chants while using identical tents regardless of what school or city they were in.
College protests have broken out in nearly every major city in America. Students violated school policies by building encampments on school grounds. They spread dangerous rhetoric against Israel and Jewish people, inciting violence against fellow students.
Key Takeaways:
- New York police cleared away the protestors who took over a Columbia building.
- The city revealed that professional protest consults, agitators, were training the students.
- This comes as progressive college students become increasingly hostile to Jewish Americans.
