The White House condemned the antisemitic protests taking place at college campuses across the U.S., including Columbia University in New York City.
The White House condemned 'in the strongest terms' ongoing anti-Israel protests at colleges across the U.S., including at Columbia University in New York City, on Sunday, saying they have no place anywhere in the U.S.
Protests have called for an intifada and the death of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. One Jewish Columbia University student was even told to 'kill yourself' and repeatedly kicked in the stomach during the protests. Tensions continued to build, and on Thursday, the New York City Police Department arrested 108 people who refused to leave the encampment, each of whom was issued a summons for trespassing.
Fox News Digital reached out to President Shafik for comment on the protests. The university issued a statement about the protest. As President Shafik has said repeatedly, the safety of our community is our number one priority,' the university said. 'Columbia students have the right to protest, but they are not allowed to disrupt campus life or harass and intimidate fellow students and members of our community. We are acting on concerns we are hearing from our Jewish students and are providing additional support and resources to ensure that our community remains safe.
