The Columbia University protests continued on the eve of Passover Sunday, as more disturbing reports of overt antisemitism during the pro-Palestine
continued on the eve of Passover Sunday, as more disturbing reports of overt antisemitism during the pro-Palestine demonstrations have emerged — and local leaders demanded action to quell the hatred.
All of these incidents have occurred days before Passover, one of the holiest celebrations on the Jewish calendar — and have caused great alarm among Jews both on and off campus. “Columbia University is a private institution on private property, which means the NYPD cannot have a presence on campus unless specifically requested by senior university officials,” Mayor Adams noted, who added that the NYPD stands “ready to respond if another request is made by the university, as they did on Thursday, when the NYPD successfully cleared encampments on Columbia’s South Lawn without any injuries.
Gov. Kathy Hochul echoed those sentiments: “The First Amendment protects the right to protest but students also have a right to learn in an environment free from harassment or violence. At Columbia or on any campus, threatening Jewish students with violence or glorifying the terror of Oct. 7 is antisemitism.”that “some of the rhetoric and harassment coming out of the demonstrations at Columbia right now is truly vile.
