The campus of Columbia University has become a battleground as anti-Israel agitators have escalated their protests to a dangerous level, with one professor even going as far as to label them a terrorist organization. Business professor Shai Davidai told Fox News Digital that the pro-terrorist student organizations have “crossed the line” and are now considered a terror organization.
The protests, which have been ongoing since the outbreak of war in Israel, have taken a disturbing turn with demonstrators openly expressing support for the terrorist organization Hamas. Videos from the protests show protesters chanting in support of Hamas and calling for violence against Jewish students on campus.
The situation has become so dire that the Orthodox rabbi at Columbia University and Barnard College has advised students to leave campus until the situation improves, citing extreme antisemitism and anarchy.
Despite the alarming escalation of the protests, New York politicians, including Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, have remained silent, drawing criticism from those who believe they should be taking action to protect Jewish students on campus.
As the protests continue to spiral out of control, calls for intervention from the National Guard and for the expulsion of students involved in the protests are growing louder. Alumni of the university have also expressed their dismay over the situation, with some vowing to withhold donations until the issue of campus antisemitism is addressed.
The events at Columbia University serve as a stark reminder of the importance of standing up against hate and discrimination, and the need for swift and decisive action to protect the safety and well-being of all students on campus.
