The pro-Palestinian activists who disrupted campuses across the nation are plotting their return for the new academic year.
Demonstrators say all forms of protest are still on the table, despite the more than 2,000 arrests so far, as students try to figure out a new strategy to demand their schools divest from Israel, among other goals.
“What we will see [is] the students will continue their activism, will continue doing what they’ve done in conventional and unconventional ways. So not only protests, not only encampments, kind of any — any available means necessary to push Columbia to divest from from Israel,” said Mahmoud Khalil, student negotiator on behalf of Columbia University Apartheid Divest.
“And we’ve been working all this summer on our plans, on what’s next to pressure Columbia to listen to the students and to decide to be on the right side of history,” Khalil added.
Students will be heading back into the classroom this month after a chaotic ending to the last academic year.
Dozens of schools across the country saw protests against the war in Gaza, including interruptions to multiple graduation ceremonies, and scores of students were suspended for their actions.
Since then, the war in Gaza has only escalated with thousands killed and no clear end in sight.
“There’s definitely conversations happening regarding how they can continue to advocate, to raise awareness about Palestinian human rights and genocide that’s happening in Gaza,” said Zainab Chaudry, director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations office in Maryland.

Activism has a price.
By all means, let’s “forgive” these poor student’s college loans!
How else can they disrupt the education of serious students trying to learn something useful?
Rioters are being financed by the outlaw Biden/Harris admin. with our tax money. What a scam!
I hadn't thought of it this way, but your point is spot on.
Fine by me. Fly your Palestinian freak flags high. Because them showing their arses works out well for Trump. Gets the undecided voting for The Donald, despite his bombast. You can be sure Trump will use this chaos in his speeches and out campaigning.
Go Muzzies go, and Antifa non-binary, black masked anarchy-chaos too. Go raise hell at the DNC convention, and on campus in September.
My thoughts exactly! This would serve two purposes: illustrate the irreparable rift that divides and is destroying the authoritarian leftist party once known as the Democrat Party, and to instill a sense of nostalgia for all us Boomers that remember the ‘68 Chicago Convention riots, Major Daley, the Chicago Seven and the subsequent trial that left the left with a very black PR eye for at least four years.
This is the BEST way to turn America against ALL Leftist universities. Dry up all donations, disrupt all classroom teaching and make it financially impossible for these propaganda mills to continue operations. The sooner American universities are destroyed, the quicker we can return to practical education for young people.
We also need to immediately deport from America the radical Muslim foreign students (who are nothing but terrorists) behind these riots.
These are NOT “students”. They are foreign born Islamist military soldiers. They are not here to study, they are here to infiltrate, agitate and take over America.
Every single one of them needs to be deported, but not before their skulls are cracked with a police baton. Send them back to their shithole countries in a wheelchair. /spit
They’re kids. Ignore them.
Too bad they have no clue that no one cares
“We demand that Columbia University acquire land suitable for building a facility to segregate the Zionist dog students, create holding quarters for them, and assign their living quarters in the camp. The facilities should be tightly guarded for the safety of the offspring of Satan and they should have the right to work in the camp. A quarry would be a good start.”
The only reason this behavior is tolerated on campus is because this is the optic desired.
“students”
Deep State’s rent-a-mobs.
Different name, same astroturf.
Students don’t know they will be War Fodder shortly!
That is what they are asking for!
1. give one genuine fair warning that they may leave unharmed
2. water hoses
3. tear gas
4. mustard gas
4. tanks
problem solved in nice easy humanitarian graduated stages, the evil slime gets cleaned out
I’ve got to go buy more popcorn.
It’s 1968 all over again. I feel 8 years old!
