Dozens of anti-Israel protesters stormed a Columbia University academic building and occupied it on Tuesday morning – hours after the school began suspending students who refused to vacate their camp.
Columbia University students occupied Hamilton Hall, the campus’s main administrative building, last night.

The breach began after the university had suspended students who refused to leave the “Gaza solidarity” camp for nearly two weeks. Hundreds of students formed a human chain in front of the building, where civil rights and anti-war protesters demonstrated in 1968.
The students unfurled a banner on a Hamilton Hall balcony window that read “Hind’s Hall” in honor of Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old girl killed in the city of Gaza by the Israeli army.
Vandals vandalized the property, which has been the site of anti-Semitic protests for weeks. They hung a banner with the inscription: “Student Intifada” – evoking the violent uprising against Israel.
At this point, we must ask ourselves what the next events will be that chaos propagators will use to ignite the squares. The first true fact is that Hamas and its sympathizers (such as George Soros) are very effective in the propaganda war through social networks, using the university masses as a maneuvering instrument, spreading chaos and false propaganda. Both Israel and Europe and the United States will have to take this into account.
The criminals, masked at Columbia, are destroying infrastructure by breaking windows, vandalizing properties with graffiti, and violently invading various school buildings. They are subversive mercenaries operating with impunity. The University administration is doing nothing.
What is happening at Columbia University is no longer a peaceful protest but rather pro-terrorism acts. New York has become a time bomb, ready to explode.
