Videos & photos on social media showed #protesters, most wearing masks [given the givens, wouldn’t you?], standing on tables, beating drums & unfurling banners saying "Strike For Gaza" & "Liberated Zone" beneath the chandeliers of the Lawrence A. Wein Reading Room.#Trump had lashed out at #Columbia over pro-#Palestinian #protests on campus last year, saying they were *#antisemitic* & showed a failure to protect Jewish students.#law #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #FreedomOfAssembly #Israel #Gaza

#Student #protesters, including many #Jewish organizers, counter that #Trump & *conservative* politicians who are strongly pro-#Israel are unfairly conflating pro-#Palestinian #protests & #antisemitism. [yup]#Columbia's board of trustees has been *negotiating* w/the Trump admin, which announced in March that it had canceled hundreds of millions in #grants to the #university for #scientific #research.#law #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #FreedomOfAssembly #Palestinians #Israel #Gaza #war

The #university has said it has worked to combat #antisemitism & other #prejudice on its campus while seeking to fend off accusations from #CivilRights groups that it was giving in to #Trump government intrusions on #AcademicFreedom.#Columbia #University said late on Wed that it had requested #NYPD assistance "in securing the building," & that 2 of its public safety ofcls were hurt in the standoff.#law #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #FreedomOfAssembly #Palestinians #Israel #Gaza #war

An #NYPD spox confirmed "multiple arrests" of #protesters who occupied the library but did not provide an exact number.Before police arrived, #Columbia #University public safety personnel were seen locking the front doors to the library, preventing any more #students from entering the building & sparking a brief episode of pushing & shoving outside.One student appeared to have been injured in the fracas. Another individual was seen being carried out of the bldg on a stretcher.#law

@Nonilex Arabs are Semitic peoples Arabic is a Semitic language. Ashkenazi (European) Jews are not Semitic peoples and Yiddish is not a Semitic language. The majority of Zionists and the ruling faction of Jews occupying and ruling over Palestine are Ashkenazi Jews who moved from Europe after World War 2. They are not the Semitic Hebrews who are indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa. Zionism is Antisemitic.

The #university said 34 #protesters were #arrested, & charges of trespassing, property destruction & disorderly conduct were referred to prosecutors.On Wed, it said the 21 #students who were among those arrested have been #suspended & #banned from all of the school's campuses.#Columbia was at the forefront of a pro-#Palestinian & anti-war student #protest movement that swept across US campuses last year over #Israel's war in #Gaza, which began in 2023.#law #Constitution #FirstAmendment

@Nonilex ""Everyone has the right to peacefully protest. But violence, vandalism or destruction of property are completely unacceptable" – is of course a way of saying "no violence, vandalism or destruction of property actually occurred but we want you all to think it did."

#NYPD officers, some in riot gear, "responded with force multiple times" while 100+ #protesters #picketed around #Columbia’s campus last night, according to the Columbia Spectator. This followed the arrest of 75+ pro-Palestinian protestors at Columbia's main library.#law #Constitution #ColumbiaUniversity #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #FreedomOfAssembly #RightToProtest #CivilRights #Dictatorship #AmericanAutocracy #Trump #AbuseOfPower https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/05/07/nypd-officers-respond-with-force-to-protesters-picketing-around-columbia-after-arrests-at-butler-library/
