New York, United States—Columbia University backed off late Thursday from an overnight deadline for pro-Palestinian protesters to abandon an encampment there as more college campuses in the United States sought to prevent occupations from taking hold.
The statement denied that New York City police were invited on the campus. “This rumor is false,” it said.A student, identifying herself only as Mimi, told Agence France Presse she had been at the camp for seven days. Photographs showed police wielding tasers as they wrestled with protesters on neatly manicured lawns.
“I’ve never felt more scared to be a Jew in America right now,” said Skyler Sieradsky, a 21-year-old student of philosophy and political science at George Washington University. US ally Israel launched its war in Gaza after the Hamas attack on October 7 that left around 1,170 people dead, according to an AFP tally of Israeli official figures.
