Anti-Israel protests at Columbia a frightening 'attack on American values,' student says

A senior at Columbia University decried her institution and classmates who took part in anti-Israel protests on campus and in greater Morningside Heights. Katie, who described herself as being of Iranian descent with elders who escaped the theocratic hardliner regime in Tehran to avoid religious persecution, said she had to move off campus because the demonstrations in Morningside Heights became too overwhelming.

think Columbia certainly has a lot of culpability in this. They've hired professors who have said that these attacks on Oct. 7 were awesome, were great victories for the Palestinian martyrs, and who have been known to be antisemitic,' Katie said. She highlighted one Arab studies professor who was invoked during a recent House Education Committee hearing where the school's president was being grilled. Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich.

On 'The Story,' Katie cited Massad as an example of a factor that could lead to students protesting so virulently. 'You wonder how these students get indoctrinated with these beliefs, but I think it goes even deeper than that, honestly. I think it's a rejection of American values,' she said.

cannot wait to get out of there, and I will never return,' she said, adding she also moved off campus. 'So many people, including people who I was friends with, turned out to support the murder of my friends and family,' she added. Katie said the protesters' claims the IDF are an imperial, bloodthirsty militia are not grounded in fact — as she compared the Israeli military to that of U.S.
