Approximately 300 were arrested overnight at CCNY and Columbia after the NYPD was called on to clear out anti-Israel protesters who had been occupying the campuses.

Police officers of the New York Police Department have restored order on the CUNY City College of New York campus after it had been overrun by anti-Israel protesters.

CUNY officials said they asked the New York Police Department for assistance in clearing protesters, including a "large crowd" of people who had marched from Columbia University to City College.

Approximately 300 were arrested overnight at CCNY and Columbia after the NYPD was called on to clear out anti-Israel protesters who had been occupying the campuses. According to numbers given to NBC News by the NYPD, police arrested 230 people at Columbia, and the rest were arrested at CCNY.

After clearing out protesters from CCNY, police officers tore down a Palestinian flag hung on a flagpole on campus and replaced it with an American flag.

“An incredible scene and proud moment as we have assisted City College NY in restoring order on campus, culminating in raising Old Glory once again on their campus flagpole,” said NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry.

I intend to stand shoulder to shoulder with my Jewish brothers, wherever I can.

[Judge Bean]

And Jewish Sisters.

Some of them side with the PROpals. So, have the arrestees been released yet with no bail required?

[xoxox]

Doesn’t say whether or not it was Hunter College (part of CCNY) - where Bella Dodd taught, notorious seedbed of communism and practical subversion.

Now all the Columbia leftists in the admin and students can all get back to hating on the cops

Seems like it was forever ago that most of us, black or white or somewhere in between, talked more about Whitney Houston singing the Star Spangled Banner in the 1991 Super Bowl than we talked about the close game itself.

That was back when even Dims allowed their followers to every now and then express love for God and country and their fellow man. Now the Dim leaders expect their cult followers to always hate God and country and their fellow man.

Imagine someone coming out of a ten year coma and reading that headline. He just might have a relapse.

I hope all protesters are still in jail today and for many days.

BTTT

[Thank You Rush]

“”I hope all protesters are still in jail today and for many days.””

We can hope the buses they were put on went straight to one of the rivers to dump the load.

Blm arrested then let go with no charges

Antifa arrested then let go with no charges

Code pink arrested then let go with no charges

Liberals rioting arrested then let go with no charges

Black criminals with long rap sheets arrested then let go with no charges (especially in ny)

Mexican criminals with long rap sheets arrested then let go with no charges

White liberal criminals with long rap.sheets arrested then let go with no charges

We’ve seen the movie before- I will be shocked if any arrested hamas coddlers/violent agitators do time or have to pay anything.

[Bon of Babble]

“Approximately 300 were arrested overnight.”

Let me guess the outcome: All charges dropped.

[nwrep]

I salute the NYPD and Old Glory.

Now if somebody will kick the “judges” in the ass and make them do their jobs correctly, we’ll start getting somewhere. Unfortunately, when the cops bring these turd rolling bozos into their courts, the “judges” award them $10,500 for being “wrongly” arrested.

Letter From the Director of Yad va Shem (hand of God), Holocaust Museum to Dr. Minouche Shafik, President of Columbia University:

Jerusalem, April 26, 2024
Dr. Minouche Shafik
President
Columbia University
Dear President Shafik,
I write to you in several capacities: as Chairman of Yad Vashem, the flagship institution of Holocaust remembrance; as a former Consul General of Israel to New York (a position in which I collaborated frequently with your predecessor); and last but not least, as the proud father of a Columbia alum (GS ’21 and SIPA ’22).
Madam President, the Presidency of Columbia University is one of the most important leadership positions in the academic world. The President of Columbia is not – as erroneously considered by some – an administrator. He or she is chosen to be a Leader.
All the decisions you recently made were administrative in nature: to call the NYPD to evacuate the illegal encampment, to allow its re-establishment, to activate or deactivate credentials, to move to online teaching. Even your decision to negotiate is administrative in nature.
Madam, the time requires leadership decisions. Your illustrious career brought you to the Presidency of Columbia not to be a CEO or a Crisis Manager, but to lead. To lead academically and, even more important, to lead morally.
President Shafik, when thousands of Columbia faculty, staff and students call for the elimination of the State of Israel and the abolition of Zionism, you must take a stand. Not a political stand. A moral stand. When it becomes crystal clear that abolishing the existence of the Jewish State is a prevalent ideology in Columbia – the President of the institution cannot remain silent. The Talmud teaches us that “Silence is consent”. Silence will inevitably be interpreted as tolerance or, even worse, consent.
Your decision to deal only with the behavior – or the manners – of the demonstrators is not sustainable. A polite KKK member is as despicable – and probably more dangerous – than a thuggish one. A moral leader will fight both with the same determination.
Madam President, the time has come for you to take a stand: can the promotion of the elimination of Israel – with or without the genocide of its Jewish population - be a legitimate cause, advanced in academic syllabi, lectures, events, demonstrations and encampments in Columbia University or – like apartheid, misogyny, homophobia, white supremacism – be so despicable that it will not be tolerated. Each day, each hour that you evade making a public decision of this nature and act accordingly – you actually decide affirmatively.

There is a naïve belief that academia is immune to bigotry and the causes that students and professors lead are inherently “good causes”, even if sometimes ahead of their time. Nothing is further from the truth. Heidelberg University in Germany was not less prestigious than Columbia. In the 1920s it was a center of liberal thinking. A decade later a mob of Heidelberg students burned Jewish and other “corrupt” books in Universitätsplatz (”University Square”). Its faculty developed pseudo-academic fields like race theory, eugenics and forced euthanasia. Heidelberg did have administrators. Unfortunately, it lacked moral leadership.
The Jewish People was dispersed for two millennia, subject to persecutions, forced conversions, discrimination, pogroms and finally the extermination of six million Jews in the Holocaust. We returned to our ancestral homeland. Pursuing the destruction and erasure of the Jewish State is no less abominable than racial laws. Will Columbia be remembered as Heidelberg? To a very large extent, it is up to you, Madam.
Madam President, Elie Wiesel, the Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace laureate, defined indifference as “the most insidious danger of all”. And the great civil rights leader and fellow Nobel laureate Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. added that “the hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.” A great moral conflict was delivered to your doorsteps. Rise to the occasion. Lead with moral principles, not only with administrative regulations. Speak up.
Sincerely,
Dani Dayan
Chairman

I wonder what the average height and weight of the new hires is...?

[i_robot73]

Why did the cops come as CCNY+ wants to defund the police, if not eliminate entirely?? It was DAYS of lawlessness, what’s a few more weeks? CCNY could have just ponied up some $$ from their endowments to hire whom they needed when.
