A group of pro-Hamas student protesters recently invaded a Jewish history class at Columbia University with their faces covered with keffiyehs.
Over the last two years, progressive students at various schools have taken up the cause of protesting Israel and have come off as total antisemites in the process. Columbia University has been one of the worst schools for this.
You really have to wonder what kind of upbringing these students had. Do you think their parents are proud of this behavior?

‘Crush Zionism’: Pro-Hamas protestors barge into Israeli history class at Columbia
Anti-Israel protestors barged into an Israeli history class at Columbia University on Tuesday to pass out pro-Hamas flyers that showed the Star of David being destroyed.
“Four student activists, donning keffiyehs, marched into the class, ‘History of Modern Israel,’ filming themselves as they recited a script, passed out propaganda, and harassed students, most of whom are Jewish, according to a student in the class,” The Washington Free Beacon reported.
Columbia student Elisha Baker posted a video of the incident to X.
“So much for ‘academic freedom.’ Welcome to Columbia, 2025!” the student wrote.
The video shows an Israeli professor, Avi Shilon, telling the protesters to leave. “This is a civil rights violation. We’re trying to learn,” he said.
Baker also posted photos of the flyers the protestors distributed, which read, “The enemy will not see tomorrow,” “Burn Zionism to the ground,” and “Crush Zionism.” One flyer showed an Israeli flag on fire.

The Ivy League has allowed students like this to completely destroy their image. It’s amazing that this behavior is tolerated at American schools.
