Students protesting for Palestine are being threatened with arrest if they do not disperse immediately. Fordham university is threatening to send in the NYPD to incite another cop riot!

Delete this tweet BBC News (UK). Horrifically misleading. The acts of violence were *against* the ‘pro-Palestinian protest’.

The students declare: NYPD is not welcome here.

Yeauuuux where are my outside agitators with incriminating terroristic equipment at?

Israel’s partners and neighbours are speaking with one voice: Rafah must not be attacked.

We all demand the immediate release of all hostages.

The elimination of Hamas cannot come at the unbearable cost of thousands of civilian deaths. 1/2

NYPD beats up some students and faculty and it’s basically Iwo Jima.

Hamas made the bike locks in the tunnels

Columbia President Minouche Shafik:
'With the support of the University’s Trustees, I made the decision to ask the NYPD to intervene to end the occupation of Hamilton Hall…I thank the NYPD for their incredible professionalism and support.'
Cites 'outside activists' as a concern.

Here is katie honan confronting Deputy Commissioner of Public Information with evidence that the chain he wielded to imply that “outside agitators” barricaded Hamilton Hall is a common bike lock that Columbia University itself sold to their students

NOW: Protesters are rallying outside Fordham University’s Lincoln Center campus in support of the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ which was set up earlier this morning

Students inside encampment are rallying with the crowd outside through the windows

Eric Adams Admits Columbia allowed the NYPD to conduct a swat raid because of 'Anti Israel Attitudes were pervasive' This is what you call Fascism!!!!

in america, if you don't say you love israel - either the police will beat you directly, or they'll wait around and watch as fascists gangs do it on the behalf of the state!

From Ali Bauman on CBS New York to other right wing outlets in NYC. They straight up lied about the 'wife of known terrorist'. There is no evidence against her!!
This was done moments before NYPD ESU (swat) raided Columbia with guns drawn. To create the narrative of fear.

NYC Mayor Adams admitted in his PressCon that #Columbia students were spied on, attacked & arrested by police because he didn’t like their “anti-Israel” views, as part of a larger “operation” to prevent “radicalization” of students. This is literal #Fascism

UPDATE FROM ONE POLICE PLAZA:
- No press allowed inside Hind’s Hall, including WKCR.
- Multiple Columbia students were taken straight to the hospital due to severe injuries by NYPD.
- Students had swollen faces from being kicked repeatedly by police.

Hey Ali Bauman are you going to apologize about your obvious mayor’s office propaganda?

Students have only been in there for about an hour. Police/security are locking down the building. Also doing this: dropping a tarp to obscure signs on the windows.
