Openly Pro-Hamas Students Take Over Administrative Building at Sarah Lawrence College
Students and faculty are handing out fliers with Sinwar’s face, describing how successful Oct. 7th was.
Anti-Israel student radicals at Sarah Lawrence College in New York recently took over the school’s main administrative building in the middle of the night. While their ‘occupation’ did not last long, an encampment grew in front of the building.
Now there are students handing out pro-Hamas literature at the site. The school is not doing much of anything to stop any of this.
Samuel J. Abrams reports at Minding the Campus:
Sarah Lawrence Has Fallen
In the dead of night on November 21, a group of students linked to Sarah Lawrence College’s (SLC) Divestment Coalition stormed Westlands, the school’s main administrative building, and announced their occupation through social media. This was no quiet protest. Hiding their identities behind masks, the group decorated the building with signs, barricaded doors, and blocked windows with plywood, effectively shutting down the school’s operations. Dozens of students living in the dormitory above were trapped and access to key school offices were blocked. Outside, an encampment took shape, turning the scene into a spectacle broadcast across social media for the world to witness.
Over the course of the first chaotic day, the school’s administration failed to condemn the behavior or intervene to end the occupation of the building. By remaining silent and inactive in response to such a highly visible breach of rules, the school effectively took a political stance against Zionism. This inaction stands in direct contradiction to its March declaration to “ provide an environment in which all of our students — regardless of background, belief, or circumstance — have the unimpeded opportunity to actively and fully participate in the educational experience that is at the center of Sarah Lawrence’s mission” (original emphasis).
To date, no public statement condemning the actions of the Divestment group has been made by SLC’s President, Cristle C. Judd.
Only in an email to SLC community members did she say that the situation merely required the “relocat[ion] [of] some classes and administrative functions out of Westlands and temporarily suspend shuttle service.”

Watch this video clip and note the cult-like chanting from the protesters.

Look at what’s being passed out at the encampment.

Just stunning.

This video includes a statement from a student spokesman that must be seen to be believed.
Algemeiner notes that much of this is being directed by the usual suspects of Students for Justice in Palestine:
A mob of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) members has taken over the Westlands administrative building at Sarah Lawrence College in New York and vowed not to surrender it unless school officials adopt the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.
The action, the first of its kinds since the spring “uprising” of encampments on colleges across the US, appears to have been precipitated by the college’s declining to accept SJP’s divestment recommendations — which aim to compromise Israel’s national security and leave the world’s lone Jewish state vulnerable to jihadist extremists…
“ALL OUT TO SARAH LAWRENCE COLLEGE! DEFEND THE STUDENT INTIFADA! For over 400 days our institutions have ignored the genocide for our people in Gaza, we demand that they disclose their financial investments and they DIVEST FROM DEATH 🇵🇸🇵🇸,” the group, which is linked to a slew of terrorist organizations, tweeted.
This is madness.
The incoming Trump administration should make life painful for any school that continues to tolerate this.

Comments
In the wake of the protests against the war in Vietnam, my state university erected an administrative building fortress that was purpose built to thwart this kind of nonsense. Brutalist architecture, moat-like entrance and other features make it pretty difficult to attack, never mind occupy.
Perhaps after tossing these entitled idiots out of school, Sarah Lawrence should give the fortress idea a look.
A big punch in the mouth would do it
Several would be better.
Suppose the KKK conducted a similar demonstration. How long before a SWAT team showed up with machine guns, tear gas, shock grenades, and arrested everyone? How many of said demonstrators would charged with a felony? The double standard we have in this country is both shocking and outrageous. How about making the wearing of a mask in public illegal?
All this is happening with the cooperation of the faculty, and administration. Many of our colleges are not safe for Jews. Yet even American Jews won’t fight back with any real force. For the most part most American Jews just take it. No comprehension of historical lessions.
The president of SL should be immediately removed for cause and the trapped students take legal action.
It may not be high on AG Bondi’s list, but I bet there are Federal civil rights violations in many of these actions on campuses.
Pro-Hamas students are students who are Muslims along with idiot students influenced by Muslims. They will take over the entire country if at all possible.
Saturday people first. Then Sunday people.
Exhibit A: France
Exhibit B: Belgium
Exhibit C: Sweden
Any questions?
Yeah, one question: what about Netherlands & UK?
My analogy of Islam to cancer is spot on. The two are so much alike that it is uncanny. They are both fatal. They both cause tremendous fear. They metastasize and spread unless treated with a violent response. There is nothing good about them. They are unwanted by anyone with a choice. They are responsible for more deaths of civilians worldwide than any other cause other than war.
It really surprises me that any reasonable 20 year old would really care about this. I wonder if they are paid to do this like the original activists at Kent State.
Secularism creates a vacuum of purpose. Nature abhors a vacuum.
Hamas is now taking American territory.
Naturalization should be conditional, at least for 2-3 generations and birthright citizenship ended, not based on where they are born, but on at least one patent being a citizen. There should also be a process to revoke citizenship. If they don’t like America as it was created, toss their sorry tails out.
“Dozens of students living in the dormitory above were trapped “
This is in violation of safety codes for fire evacuation.
If I were to be trapped in this building in the this situation I would just pull one of the fire alarms.
this also constitutes hostage taking.
they do not have. the legal authority
to hold anyone against their will.
Should setup big movie screen and force them to watch Oct. 7 videos like

First cold snap and snow will see these children pack up for their dorm rooms.
Why are they here?
EVERY time I see one of these “takes over” headline, I think, “Isn’t there a crime about taking over a building that doesn’t belong to you?” I mean, yeah, there’s the trespass thing. But I’m thinking “conversion” or something.
And then I think “Why don’t the people who own and use the building just roll on up and remove these wankers?” Yeah, I know, “that would be wrong!” But, would it? Just walk up and take them one at a time by the arm and walk them out, like a bouncer at a bar. And if they won’t go, then you bust a kneecap or tow and haul them out. I guarantee they won’t do it again.
GWB that would be common sense
college doesn’t allow that any more.
There are always 10 Percent who don’t get the message.
Sadly, the president of this college is among them.
Only in an email to SLC community members did she say that the situation merely required the “relocat[ion] [of] some classes and administrative functions out of Westlands and temporarily suspend shuttle service.”
Why this is happening is explained in part in Glubb’s FATE OF EMPIRES.
Go to section XXIV, The Arab Decline. No it is not Woke.
Isn’t Hamas considered a terrorist origination? Regardless, why is the college allowing a group of students to take over a building.
Where is the 1970 ohio national guard when you need them?
Police should be arresting them, deport any green card, student visa’s, and jailing Americans.
Isn’t this the most expensive school in the country? Where are the parents in all this?
And look what is headlining the current issue of the campus paper opinion page. It doesn’t get any more disgusting.
