A clueless Columbia University protester who once worked for a lefty consulting firm hired by Bill de Blasio demanded Tuesday that the school help get “basic humanitarian aid” such as food and water to the anti-Israel rioters illegally occupying a campus building.
“Like, could people please have a glass of water?’’ the young woman told reporters outside Hamilton Hall, which a defiant mob of pro-terror protesters violently stormed early Tuesday and took over.
“Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill even if they disagree with you? If the answer is no, then you should allow basic, I mean, it’s crazy to say because we’re on an Ivy League campus, but this is like basic humanitarian aid we’re asking for,’’ the protester said, according to footage posted to X.
An incredulous reporter replied, “It seems like you’re sort of saying, ‘We want to be revolutionaries, we want to take over this building, now would you please bring us some food and water.’’’
The protester — who studies Marxist principles at Columbia — replied, “Nobody’s asking them to bring anything.
“We’re asking them to not violently stop us from bringing in basic humanitarian aid.’’
Asked if the university had tried to stop supplies from being brought to the illegal occupiers, the protester admitted she actually didn’t know.
“We are looking for a commitment from them that they will not stop it,’’ the woman said.

That's adorable.
Calling Soros .
Yes !
I wish they would all croak
They are lucky I am not God...
Lock the building from the outside. And call it a temporary Holding Center while you process the arrests
ha ha those elitist pricks.... they think they are in gaza.
i hope they are all expelled, force to pay back student loans, it’s a shame the nypd was not as forceful as i’d like them to be.
they have legs, they are free to walk to a mcdonalds and get food. the school have water fountains, i mean ny’s tap water is suppose to be among the top right?
when i was in college, i had a meal plan too, the thing is, IF i don’t make it to the dining hall, i don’t get to eat.
i think i really have a anger issue, i want to punch each one of those students in the face.
Great movie! I have it on Blu-ray.
Geeez, Missy! If anyone is hungry or thirsty, let him walk out to the nearest food court and use some of daddy’s money to buy something!!!
Ew, water cannons. I really like water cannons.
Dehydrate in a building with running water. Is drinking from a tap a lost skill?
Note to all non-leftist Americans: These are the sociopaths who will hold the reins of power in a few short years. They are narcissistic infants in adult bodies who think they are "good" people, whose hearts are filled with seething hatred for that which is good, true and beautiful, who revel in degeneracy, who lack personal restraint and who are out for revenge against the same society that granted them the privileges they now abuse.
If "good men" don't step up and stop them by using any means necessary, they, like their communist/nazi predecessors, will soon bring total hell on earth to the West.
This makes little sense. I think she meant: "...just because they disagree with you.."
Is this a trick question?
Never mind. I can see what she was intending now. My poor Boomer brain doesn’t process Gen Z 20s-speak very easily.
I heard this person on the news late last night.
These students are not mentally ill, they are Possessed.
Asking for water? Does the building not have water, toilets, etc. Did the authorities shut off the water, I think not.
But back to the tactic she was trying to employ, there is not one sane person hearing this that can find an ounce of empathy for them. These folks are going to get a slap on the wrist and then released. These ‘useful idiots’ will then walk amongst us again. They are demon possessed.
Non-resident aliens enrolled at Columbia are over 35%. Deportations need to be their commencement rewards. We have long worried what is coming over the border, we should be concerned with the foreign leaders being trained inside our universities.
The campus is infested with non-resident alien students. Nearly 40%!!
Leaders here in America, future leaders of the world.
Donald Trump should send her a gift basket as she’d be great campaign advertising material.
They so want to look, feel and sound like they are reminiscent of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s that they’re oblivious to how shallow they really are. The emphasis on image over substance can take them only so far for so long. Allegations of genocide are totally debunkable and their rationale is inexplicable. One of the major takeaways from these events is that they are incorrigible in the face of common sense, which makes it all the more absurd. The more they speak the more they insult the intelligence of Americans who are 2 or 3 times their age. They will not be effecting change and they won’t be inheriting the earth. The future belongs to everyone. They don’t know that they don’t know. They’re making it up as they go along but they’re so amateurish that they don’t notice how utterly ridiculous their demands are. Where are all the Buddhists who can remind them how desire is the cause of their “suffering”? They so want to be relevant, they so want to be respected...but they don’t know the meaning of the word. I am by no means a maturity snob but I ain’t no man-child either. If 60 is the new 40 then 35 must be the new 15. Send them all to bed without dinner!
Good news is, if this country did go into the civil war, their side won’t last very long.
