Anti-Israel protester claims Jewish students aren't under threat, walks away when asked about Oct. 7

Columbia University's Jewish students aren't under threat, one anti-Israel protester told Fox News. 'I think that this is… a really false narrative that's being promoted,' the protester, who identified herself as Lillian, told 'Fox & Friends' co-host Lawrence Jones in New York City, outside the Ivy League university's campus on Tuesday.

Jones asked a series of questions in light of ongoing demonstrations that escalated when pro-Palestinian protesters took over an academic building on campus, just hours after Columbia University administrators began suspending students who failed to leave their encampment. 'I'm here in support of the students, and, I think that it's really important that everyone who stands with Palestine and Gaza right now is also standing with these students who are leading the way in the U.S.

When asked a series of follow-up questions on the issue, she repeated her response. After the focus switched to Columbia's Jewish students feeling threatened, Jones asked the protester if she believed the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israeli civilians were also a 'false narrative,' and she walked away, refusing to answer any further questions. 'This is what you see at these protests.
