[QUOTE="JosephZ, post: 77650210, member: 396496"] The harassment of Jewish students appears to be taking place off campus and by people who do not attend Columbia University. [I]Demonstrations [B]just outside Columbia’s gates[/B], which are currently closed to the public, took an especially dark tone over the weekend, when protesters who[B] did not appear to be connected to the university [/B]were accused of celebrating Hamas and targeting Jewish students. Nemat Shafik, Columbia’s president, said in a statement early Monday. “[B]These tensions have been exploited and amplified by individuals who are not affiliated with Columbia who have come to campus to pursue their own agendas.[/B] We need a reset.” “Go back to Poland!” one masked protester who clutched a Palestinian flag shouted[B] outside the Columbia campus gates[/B], according to a video posted on X. Some on-campus activists said over the weekend that[B] outside agitators were responsible for the antisemitic episodes[/B] and distanced themselves from the agitators. “[B]There’s so many young Jewish people who are, like, a vital part” of the protests,[/B] said Grant Miner, a Jewish graduate student at Columbia who belongs to a student coalition calling on Columbia to divest from companies connected to Israel. That group said in a statement, “We are frustrated by media distractions focusing on inflammatory individuals who do not represent us,” and added that the group’s members “firmly reject any form of hate or bigotry.”[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/22/us/columbia-university-protests.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
