Over 100 pro-Palestine protesters arrested at Columbia University

Over 100 students and other protesters were arrested and issued summons for trespassing at Columbia University on Thursday. At the numerous protests seen across the US, pro-Palestine student activists called for an “intifada”, as reported by Fox News. According to Fox News, the protesters were also heard calling for the Jewish state to be destroyed. Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib has criticised universities across the US and supported the protesters' efforts. Tlaib posted to X to praise pro-Palestine protesters who reportedly engaged in anti-Semitic behaviour, according to Fox News. “From UM to Vanderbilt to USC to Columbia, students across our country are being retaliated against for using their constitutional rights to protest genocide. It’s appalling,” Tlaib writes on X.
