The Democratic superlawyer who resigned in disgrace from the #MeToo organization Time's Up after helping former New York governor Andrew Cuomo (D.) discredit his accusers is now defending Columbia University against a lawsuit alleging that it fosters a pervasive culture of anti-Semitism. Roberta Kaplan filed notice last month to represent Columbia and its sister college, Barnard, against lawsuits that accuse school leaders of enabling an "antisemitic hostile educational environment" in the wake of Hamas's terrorist attack on Israel. Students Against Antisemitism and a group of five Columbia students allege that school leaders have turned a blind eye as anti-Semitic activists...

Some wealthy Jews would like to influence American public opinion. They also appeal to their elected representatives. That is the "news" in a Washington Post "exclusive" that ran Thursday, and the paper makes clear that there is something very untoward about it. The piece, by reporters Hannah Natanson and Emmanuel Felton, is based on an inside look into an online chat that included New York City mayor Eric Adams and several wealthy New York businessmen. In that chat, several people pressed Adams to send the New York Police Department to clear out Columbia University’s dangerous, disgraceful, and violent pro-Hamas encampment,...

Columbia Law Professor Says Columbia University Violated Federal Laws, Fostered A "Hostile Environment" On Campus .. Professor Joshua Mitts (Columbia Law School) argues that Columbia university violated the civil rights of Jewish and Israeli students by fostering and tolerating a hostile educational environment on campus. Mitts writes: Since October 7, Jewish students at Columbia have been subject to appalling episodes of antisemitism both on campus and just outside the campus gates, which intensified with the establishment of the encampment. As documented in an open letter signed by hundreds of faculty and thousands of community members, these included chants like “Go...

Some of the anti-Israel protests taking place at U.S. college campuses, including the recent demonstrations at Columbia University, have been supported by organizations that traveled to communist Cuba to receive resistance training, an ADN investigation has uncovered. ADN’s investigation coincides with a recent Sunday report published by the New York Post that revealed a radical NYC based organization known as The People’s Forum familiarized anti-Israel activists with Black Lives Matter protest techniques just hours before they stormed Hamilton Hall at Columbia University, and that the group was incited by Manolo De Los Santos–a radical activist organizer with deep ties to...

More than 1,300 people have been arrested at pro-Palestinian protests on at least 40 college campuses across the U.S. over the last two weeks. Why it matters: University administrations have cracked down on student demonstrators in unprecedented ways as protests grow in size and intensity. The majority of arrests have occurred at encampments and sit-ins. Dozens of smaller-scale college protests haven't seen altercations between demonstrators and police. More than 100 universities have had encampments or sit-ins.

A “Gaza solidarity encampment” popped up at Fordham University on Wednesday, just hours after tent cities at the other two schools were destroyed by police. Seven tents were erected inside the University’s Leon Lowenstein Center, and 25 students have occupied the building. The University has unfurled blue tarps over the windows of the building, and has allegedly warned the pro-terrorist campers to leave or face arrest. Two prison buses have arrived at the encampment. “There are police coming in and out. They have barricaded some parts of the lobby," a demonstrator told The Post. “The administration refuses to meet with...

Students defied Columbia University's orders to vacate their pro-Palestinian protest by 2 p.m. Monday, despite warnings of suspension and after the school's president said it would not divest from Israel — a demand that has sparked protests on college campuses across the country. "We have begun suspending students," Ben Chang, vice president for communications and a spokesperson for the university, said around 5 p.m., about three hours after the deadline passed. The university had told student demonstrators to vacate by 2 p.m. or else “be suspended pending further investigation” and barred from completing the spring semester. At the encampment, now...

Columbia University failed to bring disruptive anti-Israel protests under control Monday, as hundreds of protesters openly defied the school’s 2 p.m. ultimatum to vacate the campus encampment or face suspension and loss of access to dorms and class buildings. “We will not back down,” student leaders proclaimed in a statement before the deadline expired. As the deadline ticked away, hundreds of protesters remained on campus, beating drums and chanting slogans like “free, free, free Palestine” as they marched, beat drums and lounged around the tent city. Police sources told The Post Monday afternoon that busloads of NYPD officers were standing...

Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters were arrested at college campuses across the US on Saturday after fed-up administrators said “enough is enough.” Officials at Columbia University, meanwhile, are continuing to dither — allowing a Gaza Solidarity Encampment to remain and dropping a deadline to remove it while they negotiate with student leaders who are holding the campus hostage. Over 200 protesters at colleges including Northeastern University in Boston, Arizona State University in Tempe, Indiana University in Bloomington and Washington University in St. Louis were arrested Saturday.

Antisemitic demonstrations have been erupting all over the world since October 7, 2023, but nothing like what has been taking place on US university campuses. Columbia University seems to be leading the pack in what are some of the most violent antisemitic protests. These are very reminiscent of the BLM and Antifa protests, and that is because they are probably the same kids marching and chanting, but it went from BLM to PLM (P for Palestine.) It really doesn’t take long to see that these protests are not spontaneous or founded on any truth. Many of the campuses are occupied...

This is all Obama. What you see happening right now in New York City. It all started at Columbia University way back in the early 1980’s. Obama was my Columbia U classmate. And now it’s all full circle back to our roots (excuse the pun). Columbia University is the canary in the coal mine. George HW Bush talked about “1,000 points of light.” Obama uses “1,000 points of destruction” to achieve his goal- the intentional destruction of America. You can see it all happening just blocks apart right now – all built around Columbia University and NYC. Upper Manhattan is...
