Columbia University in New York City has allowed yet another anti-Israel encampment to form on its campus after police had to be called in last month to clear out-of-control agitators that managed to take over a building on campus. The school said the encampment formed Friday evening – just in time for alumni weekend. As of Saturday, the school said the encampment consisted of seven tents and about 25 to 60 people.
We look forward to resuming classes on Monday and continuing our education and research activities throughout the summer,' the school wrote. This all comes as anti-Israeli demonstrations have escalated at U.S. universities in response to Hamas' Oct. 7 attack and Israel's retaliatory attacks on Gaza, with many colleges, including Columbia University, seeing protests paired with antisemitic incidents that have left many Jewish students feeling unsafe.
