New York Post columnist and part-time Columbia University student Rikki Schlott shares what she witnessed during several days of pro-Palestine protests on campus.

Columbia University was the epicenter of the latest string of pro-Palestine protests erupting in New York City. Despite mass arrests, students and ant-Israel agitators continued with their 'shocking' display. One part-time Columbia University student argued the ordeal illustrates how the post-October 7 'craziness' has reached a 'fever pitch.

would never have imagined that I would watch NYPD officers in literal riot gear need to break up hundreds of Columbia students who are willfully getting arrested in support of of Palestine and in support of, I think, a cause that they really clearly don't fully understand.' Schlott, who is in her first semester at Columbia, had a 'front row seat to the madness' that unfolded on Thursday and Friday.

Over the several days of protests, Schlott said she heard demonstrators shout 'Intifada,' 'we are Hamas,' 'Divulge, Divest,' and others. 'Students were trespassing and were clearly in violation of school rules, were being arrested. I saw Lesbians for Liberation, which is really a rich one, considering that it seems like these students don't really understand how LGBTQ people are treated in Palestine,' the part-time student said.
