In a move on Friday that has sparked debates over the balance of free speech and safety on college campuses, Columbia University announced the suspension of two student organizations, Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace .
The university's action follows a walkout by hundreds of Columbia students who participated in a protest organized by SJP and JVP, urging the U.S. government to support a cease-fire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Both organizations have a national presence and are known for organizing contentious protests against the Israeli and U.S. governments.
JVP, describing itself as a Jewish anti-Zionist organization, has faced accusations of antisemitism, with its political position opposing the existence of the Israeli state. Critics argue that this stance is inherently antisemitic.
