Police beatings can’t keep them down.
Jews doxing them and telling them they’ll never work again can’t keep them down.
They just keep coming.
Students at Columbia University set up a new anti-Israel encampment on campus Friday night as the school hosts alumni weekend.
The defiant demonstrators — members of Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine — set up camp on the Manhattan campus’ south lawns alongside a giant white party tent already in place for the alumni event festivities that end Saturday.
“We’re back bitches,” declared one sign the protesters put up, video from the New York Times shows.
They are once again demanding that the school divest from Israel-associated companies, amid the Jewish state’s ongoing retaliatory military offensive in Gaza.
Shortly after the encampment was erected, Columbia security guards moved in and began removing some of the tents, according to the student newspaper, The Columbia Spectator.
The protesters, about two dozen or so, then began sitting in other tents so they could not be removed and chanted “shame” at the security personnel, the paper reported.
“We are aware of the encampment erected this evening and are monitoring the situation. We remain committed to hosting a successful weekend for our alumni,” a university spokesperson said in a statement.
Why not just cut ties to Israel, Columbia?
Is it because of money, or it is something else?
Are you afraid of being personally destroyed by the Jews?
Maybe the officials at Columbia refusing to cut ties with Israel should at least explain their thinking, no?
Just lay it all out there so we know what exactly is going on here.
