Columbia student workers walk out in support of protesters
By Desheania Andrews

Workers at the encampment are handing out cups of water to those marching around it.

Some students in the march are wearing T-shirts that say, “Student Workers of Columbia UAW Local 2710."

A student confirmed a few of those workers walked out in support of the encampment earlier today.

Oh look who was leading this effort.

Khymani “all Zionists should die” James. Someone allegedly banned from campus, but Columbia isn’t enforcing their rules.

Columbia deserves all the damage it is receiving. It will be studied for years as a cautionary tail on what NOT to do when outside agitators and communist professors indoctrinate young minds full of mush try to take over your institutions.

There is nothing to see here, folks, just a group of young Biden voters dressed up like HAMAS terrorists taking students hostage at Columbia University.
Keep in mind that Biden's Gestapo FBI is still rounding up Trump supporters who took selfies in the Capitol on January 6th

BTW, they've taken hostages. I'm not kidding.

They are not "defiant", they just do not give a single shit about what the fools in the university administration say because they know they are unserious cowards.

BTW: As a supporter of Israel, I approve and applaud everything these students are doing to Columbia University.

Let the pali "insurgents" take over the entire Columbia campus.

Just walk away and leave it to them.
Let it become a mini ghost town of once-beautiful buildings.

I'd also tell the throngs of migrants in NYC:
"We don't need that place any more. If you can go in there and take it over, it's yours to live in, rent free".

Then... stand back.

If the goal is to gain support for the rapist murdering barbarians in Hamas, these students are doing all the right things and are making all the right moves. Keep going! Israel supports you!

Columbia University locks down campus buildings following overnight mutiny: 'Effective immediately'
The lockdown came as an unruly mob of anti-Israel protesters broke into Hamilton Hall shortly before 1 AM
By Lawrence Richard Fox News
Published April 30, 2024 8:59am EDT

Columbia University has been forced to close its campus indefinitely after an anti-Israel mob broke into an academic building early Tuesday morning.

In a statement hours after anti-Israel agitators stormed the iconic Hamilton Hall on the Manhattan campus and barricaded its doors, the university said it would remain closed "until circumstances allow otherwise."

"Effective immediately, access to the Morningside campus has been limited to students residing in residential buildings on campus (Carman, Furnald, John Jay, Hartley, Wallach, East Campus and Wien) and employees who provide essential services to campus buildings, labs and residential student life (for example, Dining, Public Safety, and building maintenance staff). There is no additional access to the Morningside campus," a statement from the university said.

It added: "This access restriction will remain in place until circumstances allow otherwise."
