Columbia University canceled all in-person classes Monday as pro-Palestinian protests continued to rock the Ivy League institution.

Last week, police arrested more than 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators at Columbia who had set up an encampment on the New York City campus, as Breitbart News reported.

Police arrested the anti-Israel protesters on a charge of criminal trespass. They were reportedly detained with no resistance.

Columbia President Minouche Shafik said in a note addressed to the school community Monday she was “deeply saddened” by what was happening on campus, according to the Independent.

What a complete joke. I think the high ups agree with the protesters and have to play both side,

[bgill]

The high ups don’t support the US so of course they’d support Hamas. Just wait for the online class program to be hacked.

[faithhopecharity]

the college administration should resign for having brought all these Islamo/Nazi/Communist enemy, guerilla, terrorist thugs onto the campus in the first place

[UnwashedPeasant]

This is like Columbia allowing the KKK to take over their school for massive rallies.

[MinorityRepublican]

Jewish donors won’t be happy.

[cnsmom]

Americans are weary of Soros led protests enough is enough.

They were Anti-Israel, now they're Pro-Palestinian, soon they'll be Pro-Peace Activists. That's the DNC talking point spewing media way.

Ah yes...America is having its Kristallnacht moments. Armed by Obama's para- military shock troops. Notice how impotent the rest of the body politic is. Remind you of anything? The party awaits your obedience.

[metmom]

The wrong people are in control of the university.

“Columbia President Minouche Shafik ...”

An Arab from Egypt.

Demographics is destiny.

Birds of a feather...

[aquila48]

Columbia President Minouche Shafik...

"She served on a number of boards including the Middle East Advisory Group to the International Monetary Fund,[49] and the Economic Research Forum for the Arab World, Iran and Turkey.[50] She is also active on the board and as a mentor to the Minority Ethnic Talent Association which supports under-represented groups to advance to senior positions in the civil service.[51] "

NOT acceptable! SUE the university!

[Spok]

Our colleges would make Adolf Hitler very proud. They should celebrate November 9, the anniversary of Kristallnacht.

[FlyingEagle]

Columbia University is now Nazi. Wow.

[Berosus]

Well, a lot of people already celebrate Hitler’s birthday, on April 20.

[rmlew]

I'm not surprised. It was a mess Sunday afternoon, when I was there. President Nemat Shafik has no desire to stop the protests. In fact, she called Islamic Terrorism a form of protest.
Columbia security did nothing about the Hamas supporters, but kept a Jewish professor off campus on Monday

[Eleutheria5]

Drop out. “Higher education” is morally and intellectually bankrupt now.
