Columbia Girl With Ring in Nose Doesn't Know What She's Protesting About

 

A Columbia University student who joined a pro-Palestine protest at NYU told an interviewer she wasn't certain what they were protesting against. 

Both New York City-based schools have made headlines over their incessant demonstrating this past week, with both schools now home to several encampments on campus. 

In an interview posted by former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, the undergrad was asked why she was there. 

'I think the goal is showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stops... I honestly don't know all of what NYU is doing... I really don't know.'

She then asks a friend, wearing a facemask, what the protest is meant to be about and the friend also appears unaware.

'I wish I was more educated,' the second protester admits.

The camera then turns back to the first protester, who said that students at NYU needed assistance due to an increased police presence.

'I heard there was lots of cops, some people were saying it was getting dangerous,' the protester said. 

The video has been viewed over a million times and re-posted by over 10,000 people on social media platform X. 

More than 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators camped out at Columbia were arrested Thursday, with dozens more people arrested at other campuses. Many now face charges of trespassing or disorderly conduct.

There have been anti-Semitic chants and messages at and around the Columbia campus, and similar problems have occurred at other universities. Jewish students say they´ve felt unsafe on campus. 

The White House denounced what it called an 'alarming surge' of antisemitism, saying it 'has absolutely no place on college campuses, or anywhere in our country.'

Four Jewish Democratic members of Congress toured Columbia´s locked-down campus with members of the school´s Jewish Law Students Association. 

They condemned the fact that things had escalated to the point where Jewish students felt unsafe and the university had to cancel in-person classes. 

Columbia said it would use hybrid remote and in-person learning through the end of the spring term.

The protests as things stand are in violation of university rules and only people with a university ID will be allowed on campus going forward. 

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik (Muslim) met with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and other members of Congress.

Johnson waded into hostile scenes at Columbia University as he confronted a mass of anti-Israel protestors.

He brushed off the boos and jeers of students and instead condemned the protest, calling it a 'virus of antisemitism'. 

Johnson slammed the crowds in Columbia as being 'lawless agitators and radicals' and questioned their ability to become 'leaders of America' - as he praised the Jewish students who remain committed to their education. 

'We will not be silent while Jewish students are expected to run for their lives,' Johnson warned. 

The crowd yelled and jeered in an attempt to rattle him but Johnson was unperturbed. 

A spokesperson confirmed that Columbia University President Minouche Shafik met with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and other members of Congress Tuesday afternoon

'Enjoy your free speech!' he replied as he left before issuing one final slap down: 'Stop wasting your parents money'. 

The Louisiana lawmaker arrived at the New York campus hours after he called for the Columbia president to resign on a morning radio show. 

'What we're seeing on these college campuses across the country is disgusting and unacceptable,' Johnson said. 

'Every leader in this country, every political official, every citizen of good conscience has to speak out and say that this is not who we are in America, and we have got to have accountability.'

Both NYU and Columbia students have been asking for an end to the war on Gaza but also for their specific institutions to divest from Israeli companies and military contractors. Columbia students are also protesting the school's attempt to open a campus in Tel Aviv, according to Teen Vogue.
