Hamas Terrorists Storm Columbia University Barnard College Building, Hospitalize Security Guard, Terrorize Classes, Students

“After students forcefully occupied a building, hospitalized a security guard, disrupted classes, and blocked deans from moving through the building, Barnard College has decided to *grant amnesty* to these students. Barnard administration clearly hasn’t learned anything over the last year, and has no intention of properly disciplining these students. Instead, they’ve invited them to the negotiating table.” (Columbia’s Jewish students on X)

Time for Barnard to lose all federal funding and their accreditation.

Head of DOJ antisemitism task force: We’ll put Hamas supporters in jail ‘for years’ “Not for 24 hours, but for years,” civil rights attorney Leo Terrell warned.

(JNS) The U.S. Department of Justice-led Task Force to Combat Antisemitism will soon file federal hate crime indictments against campus activists “supporting Hamas and trying to intimidate Jews,” Leo Terrell, who leads the efforts, told Israel’s Channel 12 News on Wednesday.

“You see all these disorderly demonstrations, supporting Hamas and trying to intimidate Jews? We are going to put these people in jail—not for 24 hours, but for years,” Terrell, senior counsel to the assistant U.S. attorney general for civil rights, said in remarks translated to Hebrew.

Under the Biden administration, “local prosecutors did not take action to file hate crime charges,” the civil rights lawyer said. “In major cities like New York and Los Angeles, Jews have been harassed and denied access to universities. They [prosecutors] did nothing and failed at their job. We are about to do more in a month than Biden and Harris did in four years.”

Pro-Hamas students at Columbia University have violently taken over a building while chanting, “There’s only one solution, intifada revolution.”

Why do Jewish students need to be terrorized and live in fear? Why are they not expelled and arrested?

Pro-Hamas protesters seize control of historic Barnard academic building and assault college employee

By Chris Nesi,Shane Galvin and Valentina Jaramillo, NY Post, Feb. 26, 2025:

Dozens of keffiyeh-clad anti-Israel protesters took over a building at Barnard College for several hours Wednesday evening, assaulting a school employee while protesting the expulsions of two students who stormed a Columbia University class in January and threw around flyers loaded with hateful rhetoric.

Videos circulating online, posted on X by Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine, show the masked students lining a hallway in Milbank Hall, the oldest building on campus, beating drums and loudly chanting through megaphones.

One of the X posts made by the group — which proclaims “Long live the student intifada” in its bio — includes a list of demands, among them a reversal of the expulsions, amnesty for students punished during last year’s anti-Israel campus protests and a public meeting with dean Leslie Grinage and Barnard president Laura Rosenbury.

The group’s demands also include “abolition of the corrupt Barnard disciplinary process and complete transparency for current, past, and future disciplinary proceedings.”

The pro-Hamas student group claimed in a follow-up post that Barnard public safety officers have “harassed and shoved” several students, and knocked at least one to the ground. “Who are they really protecting?” the manic, all-caps social media post read.

But a Barnard spokesperson said the protesters “physically assaulted” a college employee, sending them to the hospital.

“They encouraged others to enter campus without identification, showing blatant disregard for the safety of our community,” Robin Levine, Barnard College’s vice president for strategic communications, said in a statement.

College administrators offered to meet with the unruly group if they removed their masks — but the protesters refused, according to Levine.

Levine said masked rabble-rousers had until 9:30 p.m. to leave the building, or the school would consider other actions.

“We have made multiple good-faith efforts to de-escalate. Barnard leadership offered to meet with the protesters,” Levine’s statement said. “They refused. We have also offered mediation.”

A representative for Columbia University also attempted to reason with the angry crowd — taking a conciliatory tone to the students in a video posted to social media.

Kristina Milnor, a classics professor at Columbia University, meekly extended an olive branch on behalf of the Barnard College administration — offering a meeting with administrators if protesters took off their masks, presented school IDs at the meeting, and promised not to post recordings of the proffered pow-wow on social media.

All of the proposals were met with groans and boos from the dissatisfied crowd, who seemed set on continuing their campaign of complaints.

“But let us be clear: their disregard for the safety of our community remains completely unacceptable.”

Wednesday’s demonstration was set off by the permanent dismissal of two Barnard students.

The two expelled students — who haven’t been publicly identified — barged into a “History of Modern Israel” class at Columbia University in order to distribute anti-Jewish literature, including a flyer depicting a boot stomping on a Star of David and another showing an Israeli flag on fire.

The caught-on-camera saga erupted on Jan. 21, the first day of the semester at the Ivy League campus. The students were quickly slapped with suspensions, and were permanently tossed from the university last week following a probe, according to Columbia’s Apartheid Divest — a student-led anti-Israel group.

“When rules are broken, when there is no remorse, no reflection, and no willingness to change, we must act,” Rosenbury told The Post in a statement, noting she couldn’t comment directly on a student’s disciplinary record, citing federal law.
