Police crack down on Columbia University Gaza protest

Local media and social media users are reporting that the New York City Police Department has stormed the campus of Columbia University, where students have been camped out in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, demanding that the institution divest from Israel.

Photos show the police on campus a short while ago, and video verified by Al Jazeera shows arrests being made.

University management had given the students a deadline to leave, which the majority of them ignored.

Earlier this week, leaders from Columbia University appeared before a committee in the United States Congress to face questions about alleged instances of anti-Semitism on campus. The hearing was a sequel of sorts to a similar panel held in December, featuring the presidents of Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Lol the US news calls it anti-Israel protesters, not surprised.

This is absolute corruption and injustice. Why are people allowing the media and the police to do this, call people anti-israel protestors and put them in busses. Then the US considers itself a democracy, it's all fake.

A guy got permabanned from the politics forum due to a post at the begining of your thread for pointing out factual ties between Israel and the United States government, but now we see that the protests are called anti-israel and not pro-palestine for a very clear reason, high-placed people in the US with Jewish affiliation are feeling pressured and triggered, and so the media is weaponised against the protests. But the protests can't stop because nobody will stop protesting when children are dying. I also am quite upset at vgchartz for censoring people, it is not much different than the media calling protestors anti-Israel and protestors being forcefully put in police Buses.
