> Pro-Palestinian student protesters at Columbia University early Tuesday charged the same campus building that students advocating for racial justice occupied in the 1960s, a significant escalation at the elite institution that launched dozens of campus demonstrations across the world.

> “We will not leave until Columbia meets every one of our demands,” one of the students yelled from a balcony window. The demands include university divestment from Israel, disclosure of Columbia investments and protections for protesters.

Why post a comment like yours that can be disproven within 2 seconds of Googling?

There was literally a song written about this by Macklemore:

I'm curious what you think your sources say? You originally claimed that this protest leader participated in the act of selectively denying access to campus facilities for Jewish people. That Politico article does not support your claim.

[monideas]

I did not claim that he directly participated in that. If you simply google his name, in every article the word 'leader' is used to describe him in relation to the Columbia protests, protests which did include such acts.

[NewJazz]

You still haven't cited any sources that support your claim.

[monideas]

What claim?

[NewJazz]

He was a leader of protests at Columbia which involved physically blocking Jewish students from entering classes and other forms of overt discrimination and intimidation directed at Jewish and Israeli students.

This potential bullshit.

[monideas]

Which specific thing are you questioning?

That he was a leader of protests at Columbia? That the protests involved physically blocking Jewish students? That the protests involved intimidation directed at Jewish and Israeli students?

I appreciate the source and I'll get back to you with a detailed reply of my own once I've finished reading it and searching for corroborating details on the people who were there. Watch this space.

I will check back but there are literally pictures and videos.
