Anti-Israel Encampments: 133 NYU Students, Faculty Arrested and Columbia Goes Virtual for Remainder of Semester

The anti-Israel dumbs are still at it today. It got testy last night at NYU, though.

Let’s keep an eye on each campus, shall we? Keep in mind, though: It’s not about Gaza. It’s not about Palestine. It’s not about Israel.

It’s about Jews. Remember, Jewish people celebrate Passover this week.

New York University

The encampment no longer exists.

New York University (NYU) told the anti-Israel encampment protesters to leave its property.

The dumbs refused to leave even after NYU tried to accommodate them. The school called the police after the dumbs shouted antisemitic and intimidating chants:

The school set up the barriers at Gould Plaza, Fountain Walker:

“The one safety requirement we made was that no additional protestors could enter Gould Plaza. With the breach of the barricades early this afternoon, that requirement was violated, and we witnessed disorderly, disruptive, and antagonizing behavior that has interfered with the safety and security of our community,” the university said in a statement.”We cannot tolerate people getting hurt. You will need to clear the plaza by 4:00 pm. If you leave now, no one will face any consequences for today’s actions—no discipline, no police.”

Arrests began at 8:30. Thankfully, everything eventually calmed down.

Columbia University

Columbia is going virtual because the administration lacks a spine:

Further details for classes on Morningside main campus:All faculty whose classrooms are located on the main Morningside campus and equipped with hybrid capabilities should enable them to provide virtual learning options to students who need such a learning modality. Faculty in other classrooms or teaching spaces that do not have capabilities for offering hybrid options should hold classes remotely if there are student requests for virtual participation. If the class does not permit adapting to the remote offering format, we encourage faculty to provide other accommodations liberally to students who have requested support for virtual learning this week.

Jewish students are scared:

“The campus has been an absolute disaster over the last couple of days. Jewish students are extremely scared and extremely frightened,” Jacob Schmeltz, a senior at Columbia, told CNN on Monday.Schmeltz, vice president of the Jewish on Campus Student Union, said he decided to stay with family in New Jersey instead of celebrating Passover on campus as he has done at times in previous years.“Jewish students have had enough and it’s gotten to the point that we feel safer off campus than on it,” he said.

UC-Berkley

UCB Divest, which includes staff, faculty, and students, organized the encampment.

The school said it would take the necessary steps if it gets out of control.

MIT

The MIT encampment is small.
