New York City police have entered the Columbia University en masse and are arresting students.

The NYPD told the BBC officers have entered Hamilton Hall, an academic building recently occupied by pro-Palestinian protesters.

The activists had taken over the Hamilton Hall building nearly 24 hours earlier amid two weeks of campus protests over the Israel-Gaza war.

The police were authorised to go in by university authorities, after student demonstrators defied a deadline to disperse.

  1. Without a doubt these protestors are being led and controlled by demons and they think they are in control.

  2. reminder that these are the SAME people who stood in the hallways in uvalde doing nothing while the innocent angels were massacred by a sh00ter because they “couldn’t do anything”. same people. 
    Your lives mean nothing to them.
    They do what israel tells them.

  3. Bewakoof Americans supporting muslims😮😮

  4. How dare the police attack the students ?

  5. พวกปัญญาทึบให้มุสลิมปั่นหัว

  6. It is a news entertainment complex of how they give coverage of battles to entertain illiterate masses of modern day bread & Circuses just like a Bradbury dystopia.

  7. 1960s and early 1970s redux of hippie riots

  8. Religion is Politically Correct schizophrenia since Islamic Moslems are an Atwoodian extreme of monotheism so notice how they do not appreciate NATO's response to 1990s Serbian Halloween to have only instigated hostilities with Russia.

    Europe has a problem of how Middle Easterners sneak into Europe so the Middle East is known as "Graveyard of Empires" so it is not worth getting involved.

  9. Religion is the alcoholism of Europe and the Middle East,

  10. Are they really anti-war demonstrators or are they wishing the atrocities on the other side?

  11. The White House is no longer respected it’s covered in blood

  12. If you want free palastin all the Muslims get out from all Europe and Go to Palestine and fight for Palestine,

  13. This generation is frightening

  14. パレスチナに自由を
    米国に自由を 
     
     
     

    香港デモ? 
    米国のマイダン革命?
    米国の六四天安門事件?
    工作員だらけ?

  15. China & other authoritarian governments : "Welcome to the club !" 👏👏👏

  16. These terrorists are horrifying. They are hateful, violent and have every intention of harming America. And whats worse is they have hijacked our college campuses, are recruiting the outcasts and liberal freaks, and block real students going to class. I watched muslims hold a line that blocked jewish students from going to class. How is this racism allowed, because theyre white??? This is sickness. Its absolute madness and our kids are paying the price of this terroristic liberal stupidity!

  17. The American president is a dictator. He is attacking the people of his country for Israel. Israelis are more important to him than his own citizens. This kind of hypocritical politics can only be seen in America. The right to speak has been lost.

  18. MOST AMERICANS CAN GIVE A CRAP.

  19. People's power it's coming back.

  20. America will then blame it to China, no big deal~

  21. I am confused…. Israel operate their government policy or they have freedom????

  22. Us teach democracy to other country…but dominated own citizens and students just for Israel.. those who related with genocide…. How funny….the students are the future leader….. Where is their democracy???

  23. AIPAC controls the US government and all public opinion tools, including YouTube LOL

  24. what if new york has US Embassy…

  25. These kids are Sickening.

  26. Just incredible, Russia brainwashed even American students 😢

  27. All the staff and students should be put to disciplinary action..with regards to what they did..the staff should educate their students not to brainwash them see what happened ? They became more angry and did violence instead of educating them to be lawfully abiding citizens..very sad…I pray that their will be peace in Israel and all the country…I pray that love will be abound that hate!!

  28. I wonder if students subconsciously identify with Gazans because they used to live in their parents house (like Gazans used to live in Israel) for free but have been pushed out and are being pushed around by more powerful older people with money, they want their parents house back without the parents in it. Understandable but I think it is more civilized when students identify with purportedly egalitarian ideologies, commies or anarchists .

  29. This is not a war between good guys and bad guys. It's a war between sons of b. The problem with the US is that it knows that Israel is a son of a b state, but as Roosevelt would say, it is our son of a b. The problem with supporting its commercial interests over its values ​, is that the United States ends up losing the respect of the world and its own people.

  30. God Bless Israel ❤️❤️❤️

  31. what about the mass graves found in gaza? will you cover this too bbc? I bet not..

  32. “Anti-war protesters” 😂🙈

  33. "Palistine" first established in 1923.
    🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱
    Israel 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱
    4000+years established.
    Viva Zionists 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 VIVA IDF 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱

  34. America decided that freedom of speech (and freedom of protest) is actually not as important as protecting the interests of Israel.

  35. Pseudo Democracy
    Democrats fchuk ing Democrats 😊
    Its Brother's F chuk ..😅
    Enjoy .

  36. "Thank you for showing pictures of what is happening in New York, because this is the only place in United State where you can talk. This is a beautiful scenery worth remembering. " by Nancy Pelosi

  37. I am a far left Democrat. I am a Christian.
    I believe in free speech. But it's not unlimited
    Dear Squad, I have nothing against any of you personally. But
    You helped give us Trump in 2016, attacked Cuomo viciously wo any evidence, and now brought Hamas to our campuses who have NOT only spoken their contemptible views (which is their right) they have terrorized and physically attacked and threatened Jewish students and their supporters. They have disrespected Holocaust and Oct 7 victims.
    Stop calling yourselves left Squad. You are not Democrats.
    And spare me any civil rights equivalent. You damn well know antisemitism is a violation of Jewish civil rights. So is saying Israel doesn't have a right to exist, which, if the pogroms return like they threaten to, will be the haven for Jews.
    A shared space and private institution has a right to ban hate speech. They can say it, but not here.
    And MLK was FOR Israel

  38. if other country did the same thing,what will US say?

  39. I sincerely hope and wish that these students are banned from these universities with immediate effect in whichever country. If they hold study visas they should be deported immediately and not be permitted to return.

  40. Kids that do not like killing in Gaza? Great. How about killing in Izrael? How about that in Gaza or Palestine, you won't be able to have protest like this at all, opposition at all, culture and education at all? Killing is wrong, on both sides. Do these kids know that Hamas killed all the opposition in Gaza? And there are Muslims living and working in Izrael?

  41. "… a protestor who became unconcious-" gee, wonder how that happened…

  42. コロンビア大学とハーバード大学とイェール大学とプリンストン大学は、中国人を阿片中毒にして儲けた金で創設された。中国人には復讐の好機が到来した。

  43. These are not "protests". These are riots. Too, Israel has not committed any genocidal acts against Palestine when you look at the centuries long history of this conflict and the facts. Israel has offered concession after concession while Palestinians reject every single overture of peace. Palestine harbors and supports terrorist organizations while endlessly chanting "Death to Israel". Hamas and other backed Palestinian terrorist groups have always place their weapons caches, terrorist command centers, etc in Palestinian schools/hospitals/residential areas to use Israel's defending itself as fodder and propaganda. They ignorant and weak-minded fall for the lies. The totally unprovoked, barbaric attack on Israel on 10/7/23 proves how closed minded the Left is to this whole issue. The identical same thing happened in 1930's Germany and you see what happened then. I openly challenge everyone to study this for yourself and you will see. College staff and administrators have created this very hostile, bigoted, and dangerous environment for students and it has been happening for years. Censorship on campuses reigns. These terrorist sympathizers have committed violent insurrectionist take-overs on college campuses all over the nation and even held two janitors hostage at Columbia University. That this is allowed to go this far is mind-blowing. That George Soros is allowed to openly fund these acts of treason and incitement of violence for the last 7-8 years is even worse. I am a political Independent and don't like political parties. But with THIS, plus the hyper obsession with identity politics from the Left, I will not vote for any Democrat this November or ever again. I've had it!

  44. This is beginning to look like Russia and China! These students are lucky to live in a democracy where they can protest. This shows the stupidity of university management. It’s licensed this anti Jewish rhetoric, and now it’s out of control.
