Anti-Israel protesters say they spray-painted the front of a Columbia University building and "cemented" the sewage lines of another building to mark the one-year anniversary of a Palestinian girl who was killed by Israeli forces in 2024.
Three groups, in a joint post, uploaded a video to social media on Wednesday showing evidence of their defacement, while Columbia University says it is working with law enforcement to investigate the incident, which included "disturbing, personal attacks."

Were any on student visas?
Trump just said that if they keep letting this happen and not stop the anti-sematic rhetoric he will stop any public funding. I have a feeling they will clean things up quickly.
Raghead college students are America’s strength.
Sarc/
Why are they protesting this one girl allegedly being killed by Israel? Starting a war results in people dying. What realistically did these protestors expect would happen after the Muhammadeans attacked Israel on Oct 7?
Yes. Saw an item that Trump Administration was looking at a guy who spoke at rallies for deportation on account of anti Semitic and Hamas support comments.

So Anti-Israel protesters are upset the Israeli accidentally kill a child yet they don’t condemn Hamas or Palestinians in general for the Oct. 7th attack when they cut babies throats or burned them alive and laughed while doing that. Satan’s Army loves killing babies.
Send them to Gitmo
I’ll bet some were.
Pronto.
That’s because they’re unholy abominations.
It seems the Hamas have taken over the university
Cement in the sewage system would be pretty substantial damage and costly to repair. Would fall under the “Terrorist” label.
Protesters.....Time to start spraying them down with “Skunk” and purple dye. If they want to be offensive to everyone need to help them to be that.
“I have a feeling they will clean things up quickly.”
nope ... not unless and until the Federal dollars are ACTUALLY withheld ...
“The three anti-Israel groups — the Palestine Solidarity Working Group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) and @nycresistswithgaza”
“The Palestine Solidarity Working Group”—a bunch of these “working groups” have been set up by the Institute for Policy Studies (founded by Jamie Raskin’s father Marcus Raskin), which has partnered with its EU-based counterpart the Transnational Institute (TNI) to promote Palestinian terrorist groups since the 1970s, with support from Russia, then-East Germany, Cuba, the Vietcong, etc.

Palestine Solidarity
palestine-solidarity@dsasf.org
The Palestine Solidarity working group (PSWG) seeks to build upon our chapter’s past anti-imperialist work and provide a local organizing home for practicing solidarity with Palestinians in their resistance to Zionist occupation and their fight for liberation and decolonization, as well as a place to concretely tie internationalism to DSA SF’s other local organizing efforts. It supports mass mobilizations for Palestinian solidarity, joining coalition marches and other efforts.

Introducing the BDS and Palestine Solidarity Working Group!
Greetings. We wanted to introduce our new working group, The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) and Palestinian Solidarity Working Group (BDSPSWG) to you all, tell you a little bit about ourselves, and invite you to join us in our organizing work going forward.
The North Jersey BDSPSWG arose from the debate around DSA endorsed (and DSA member) Representative Jamaal Bowman voting for a package of military funding for, and making a diplomatic visit to, the apartheid government of Israel. These actions violate DSA’s well-established support of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement. The increased visibility of this issue following the Bowman incident helped us realize how much work we needed to do locally and nationally to support Palestinian liberation. We started meeting informally in December. As of February, we officially became a chapter working group, with Brian F. as our co-chair.
What have we been up to?
At our January convention, we introduced and passed resolutions dissenting from the decision of DSA’s National Political Committee’s “failure to expel or otherwise discipline” Jamaal Bowman and calling on them to reconsider their vote to censure and/or revoke their pre- vious endorsement and to commit to refusing to endorse Bowman in 2022. The resolutions also called for improving organizational issues including discipline for candidates and elected officials, more transparency, and better communication.
We also took part in our first Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW). We kicked off the week by hosting Alex and Laurie, members of the BDS national working group at our March chapter meeting to educate our members about Palestine and discuss the importance of the BDS movement. Later that week, we held a screening of Naila and the Uprising. We were excited to be able to screen and host a discussion on this powerful film of Palestinian resistance to Israeli oppression. That week, our working group also released a tweet each day, highlighting apartheid, resistance, and local events. We hope to expand our efforts for next year’s IAW.
What are we doing now?
Our primary ongoing focus is on local organizing. We are engaging in outreach with local groups organizing on behalf of Palestinian solidarity, especially Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim led organizations. These groups include: The NJ Coalition for the Liberation of Palestine, Palestinian-American Community Center, American Muslims for Palestine-NJ, Jewish Voice for Peace North/Central NJ, Rutgers Students for Justice in Palestine, Jews for Palestine Right of Return, People’s Organization for Progress, Palestinian Youth Movement NYC and more There is a substantial Palestinian population in North Jersey, and we know our work needs to be informed by those most impacted on the ground here.
We have recently joined a letter campaign calling on Rutgers University to cancel its recent Memorandum of Understanding with Tel Aviv University We have also initiated a petition endorsed by seventeen other organizations/branches, calling on Rutgers President Holloway to repudiate US Representative Joshua Gottheimer’s recent slander of Rutgers supporters of Palestinian rights with false accusations of antisemitism and of having “sided with the terrorists.” We also note that Rep. Gottheimer’s attack is part of the well-documented Zionist campaign to smear Palestine advocacy into silence, on college campuses and beyond.
We are encouraging all our members and everyone in North Jersey to sign a pledge card to support the BDS movement, and boycott brands that profit from the apartheid Israeli regime. (bit.ly/DSAforBDS).
We are also wholly supportive of repealing New Jersey’s shameful anti-BDS law that prohibits the investment of state funds in companies that honor the BDS picket line. New Jersey should be taking the lead in joining the BDS movement, just as it did in protesting apartheid South Africa, not targeting those who would affirm the humanity of Palestinians.
The BDSPSWG meets every other Monday at 7:45 PM If you have any questions, would like to learn more, or would like to join our working group, please reach out to BDS channel on Slack (if you’re a member) or contact us: nnj.bds@dsanj.org
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
