this will probably continue at other Universities Masked pro-Palestine protesters storm Columbia University library as students prepare for finals
I'm not sure why these people can't grasp that when you do this in a disruptive and annoying way it's more likely to sway public sentiment against you. I feel the same way about people who block roadways, throw paint on artwork, or glue themselves to the floor of buildings. Anyone who was at that library to study, regardless of how sympathetic they may have been to the cause initially, is now going to have negative feelings.
Do y’all really believe these stories as they are being told to you? I need to get in the take advantage of suckers business.
I'm not a big fan of this kind of selfishness and rudeness Police Remove Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators Occupying Columbia Library
Including those that are US citizens? Not defending any of them, they should all be prosecuted and those with student or work visas should be deported and if any of them have green cards their permanent residency status should be withdrawn. Just a guess it will probably turn out that a majority are US citizens since individuals with a temporary immigration status or even permanent residency wouldn't risk almost deportation. By the way they've been arrested. Over 75 anti-Israel protesters arrested after storming Columbia library during finals
Like I said, not a fan of that kind of rudeness … but if all they did was walk into the library and shout a few things … pull their visas and deport them? Really?
According to what was reported on tv, Columbia changed their rules and banned scarves and masks. So it looks like a lot of them broke school rules.
They were leaving of their own accord too to but they were prevented from leaving because they wanted to check people's IDs, that's what set off everything ... when they refused and tried to get out.
