Masked anti-Israel activists, some of them possibly students, occupied Columbia university’s Butler library, where students were trying to prepare for finals, leaving the frustrated students outside.

No one expelled them.

Students who could not enter the library gathered outside.

Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), the campus coalition of leftists, issued a video in which they stated, “BREAKING: THE BASEL AL-ARAJ POPULAR UNIVERSITY HAS JUST LAUNCHED, RECLAIMING BUTLER LIBRARY FOR THE PEOPLE … Over 100 people have just flooded Columia University for Palestine.”

The group issued a list of demands, including, “Full financial divestment from zionist occupation, apartheid and genocide. Academic boycott of all complicit institutions, including the cancellation of the Tel Aviv Global center. Cops and ICE off our campus. … Amnesty for all students, staff, faculty and workers targeted by Columbia University’s discipline.”

Last year the Columbia University Apartheid Divest coalition publicly acknowledged a deeper truth: they are fighting to “eradicate” Western civilization. They joined with the university’s Bengali Student Association to post a statement on Instagram, as Campus Reform reported.

“We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization,” they stated. “We stand in full solidarity with every movement for liberation in the Global South. Our Intifada is an internationalist one—we are fighting for nothing less than the liberation of all people. We reject every genocidal, eugenicist regime that seeks to undermine the personhood of the colonized.”

”As the fascism ingrained in the American consciousness becomes ever more explicit and irrefutable, we seek community and instruction from militants in the Global South, who have been on the frontlines in the fight against tyranny and domination which undergird the imperialist world order,” they continued.

Columbia University also administers the Pulitzer prizes, awards that recognize excellence in American journalism, arts, and letters, named after newspaper Joseph Pulitzer, who was Jewish.

This year, the Pulitzer committee awarded a Pulitzer to Palestinian Mosab Abu Toha, who denied that Israelis taken and kept by Hamas in the October 7, 2023 massacre of over 1200 Israelis were hostages. Toha claimed that an Israeli civilian who was shot twice and abducted from her home was not a hostage; referred to another young woman abducted by Hamas as a “hostage,”: with quote marks around the word, and declared Israeli soldiers celebrating Hanukkah was “what true antisemitism looks like,”
