Openly Pro-Hamas Students Take Over Administrative Building at Sarah Lawrence College

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.

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.
