Columbia Moves to Virtual Classes After Days of Raging Antisemitism, Threats to ******* Students

Columbia University president Nemat “Minouche” Shafik said classes would be held virtually Monday and the school is planning to increase security on campus adding 35 security guards and more than 100 other safety-related personnel.

The move comes after days of campus unrest as pro-************ protestors using violent and threatening language create a threat to ******* students.

In some cases, students are identifying with the ******* group that attacked *******, chanting “We are ******.” In other cases, ******* students are being told to “go back to Poland” and “stop ******** children.” 

According to a shocking poll by

, 47 percent of Gen Zers believe that *******’s military campaign against ****** unjust.

“It is mindboggling to watch students and professors on campus openly calling for ********* and terrorism against Jews and Americans, including chants of ‘****** to *******’ and ‘****** to America,'” Duvi Honig, founder and chief executive officer of the Orthodox ******* Chamber of Commerce, wrote for

. 

“These groups are promoting messages of hate and *********, threatening the safety of ******* and ********* students not only on campus but also around the globe. The language being used is not only deeply offensive but also calling for ********* and a repeat of October 7th incites ***** of harm, especially in the ******* community,” he added. 

Shafik said school leaders plan to come together Monday–the first day of Passover–to discuss a way to end “this crisis.”

“The decibel of our disagreements has only increased in recent days. These tensions have been exploited and amplified by individuals who are not affiliated with Columbia who have come to campus to pursue their own agendas,” she said. “We need a reset.”

One ****** affiliated with the school is urging ******* students to leave campus, saying the school and the city can’t guarantee their safety.    

New York City Mayor Eric Adams says he’s ‘horrified’ by all the hate speech but can’t take action unless the school requests it.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement Sunday that protesters in and around Columbia cross the line if they say ********* should befall ******* students. 

“While every ********* has the right to peaceful protest, calls for ********* and physical intimidation targeting ******* students and the ******* community are blatantly antisemitic, unconscionable, and dangerous — they have absolutely no place on any college campus, or anywhere in the ******* States of America,” he said. 

Police arrested more than 100 people near the Columbia campus last week related to this latest outburst of antisemitism on America’s college campuses.
