A massive new anti-Israel tent city took over Columbia University on Sunday, just days after an NYPD raid cleared another intrusive encampment there and cuffed more than 100 protesters.

At least 30 tents were sprawled across the Manhattan Ivy League school’s West Lawn along with piles of food and supplies as embattled university officials struggled to contain the growing crisis. The upheaval and threats to Jewish students have become so intolerable that a prominent rabbi at the prestigious school urged them Sunday to stay home — and university officials told them they could take classes online.

“We are looking for our demands, and we are going to continue that,” an encampment protester defiantly told The Post on Sunday. “We are here forever. We’re here as long as [it takes till] Columbia meets our demands.

It’s interesting that the 2nd major difference between socialism and fascism is that fascism lost WW II, and socialism didn’t. So guess who gets the bad publicity?

Are these protestors actual students? If so shouldn’t they be busy with... “learning”?

The riots of Antifa and BLM in 2020 still allowed Biden to steal the election. My initial thoughts were no way can he win. Said the same thing with Obama in 2012

They will stay forever or until it gets uncomfortable. I hope no predators sneak inside their camp. Some of them might get a lesson in how the real world works. Big surprise brainwashed college students are supporting Hamas. I would find it extremely difficult to feel sorry for any of these people. They probably think they are rebels but in reality they are sheep following the script written by their professors. A rebel would stand up against the liberal mindset that dominates college campuses

Oh the suffering of a bunch of spoiled brats pretending to be homeless at the most expensive college in America. Go set up your little virtue grandstand in Gaza and see what the real world is like. You will be begging for America in 2 hours.

“..Private property, trespass them, round them up, and take them to jail....”

The present NY squatter laws will likely prevent such action.

what’s to “struggle”? .... just call in the cops again and clear out the encampments, lock, stock, and barrel, while arresting everyone who hasn’t already cleared out ... just exactly like they did a few days ago ...

Box them all in with bulldozers with extra wide blades creating a kill box, then call in 1-2 Apache gunships to clean up the mess.

Have those responsible for these antics clean up the mess; if they refuse, dump the bodies in the front yards of those responsible for these antics and tell them, “it’s on you to clean it up and if it is not cleaned up within x amount of hours, you will join them.”
