A huge crowd of faculty members who teach at Columbia University in New York held a mass walk-out on Monday afternoon to protest the institution having called police to arrest students at a pro-Palestinian encampment protest last week.
Hundreds of members of the teaching cohort at Columbia walked out in solidarity with the students who were arrested by the New York police department last week and also suspended by the university.
The solidarity protest came as students put protest tents back up in the middle of campus on Monday after they were torn down last week when more than 100 arrests were made.
The university on Monday morning announced that classes would be held remotely after further days of unrest on the New York campus, following the arrest of pro-Palestinian protesters there last week.
I was just shocked that there are apparently people who don’t hear “zionism” and have the same reaction as hearing the word “Nazism”. The whole article is written from the perspective of a Zionist (bad).
Exactly, you have people protesting a genocide, and then there are students carrying the flag of the genocidal nation to provoke the protestors. To me, I would probably treat it as a white supremacist carrying a Nazi flag to a George Floyd protest.
I agree with the other poster, this article is revolting in it’s one-sided treatment of the issue.
