Jessica Costescu of the Washington Free Beacon reports on the latest target of Columbia University agitators’ hate.
Dozens of anti-Israel students at Columbia University gathered outside former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s “sham class” on Wednesday to protest her “war crimes” and urged attending students to walk out.
Clinton teaches a fall semester course at Columbia called “Inside the Situation Room,” which is open to students by application only. Videos of the sit-in, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, show students outside the former secretary of state’s class demanding the school divest from Israel, chanting, “From the sea to the river, Palestine will live forever.” The protesters displayed several banners and cardboard signs that said, “Resist until victory,” “Resistance is justified when people are occupied,” “The Palestinian resistance is alive, not dead,” and “Fa[s]cist bootlicker we know [yo]u.”
The sit-in was organized by the Columbia School of International and Public Affairs Palestine Working Group. A poster advertising the event featured a bloody image of Clinton with crossed-out eyes and a caption that read, “Welcome to IGP: Israel Global Propagandists.” The acronym is a riff on Columbia’s Institute of Global Politics, which Clinton heads.
“JOIN US in a sit in as we speak out against the war criminal Hillary Clinton,” the Palestine Working Group wrote. “Tell Columbia & SIPA, we will not stand for genocide, propaganda and the militarization of our campus! We call on all students to walk out of Hillary’s sham class! #copsoffcampus.”
Columbia University Apartheid Divest and the school’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter similarly promoted the event on social media, declaring that Clinton is “not welcome on campus.” A day earlier, the group praised Hamas leaders and promised that protests would continue.
“We’re making it clear: War criminals are not welcome on campus. Hillary Clinton has actively engaged in war crimes against the peoples of Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Palestine,” the Students for Justice in Palestine chapter posted on X.
