Video of arrested students at Columbia
University from the vantage point of John Jay, where students and press have been BARRICADED INTO THE BUILDING. DISCLOSE, DIVEST, WE WILL NOT STOP WE WILL NOT REST.
Video of police at Columbia University pushing every single person including legal observers, medics, press, and ordinary students all the way into John Jay on the opposite side of Hind’s Hall. They do not want us to bear witness to their brutality.
TO BE CLEAR, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HAS CALLED THE COPS ONTO ITS OWN STUDENTS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS, ON THE 56TH ANNIVERSARY OF WHEN THEY LAST CALLED THE POLICE ONTO CAMPUS TO ARREST OVER 700 PROTESTING THE VIETNAM WAR & HARLEM GENTRIFICATION ON APRIL 30TH, 1968
In the building where I'm currently blocked in by police, they won't let me out despite showing many of them my NYPD press pass, students chant as more are lead away in zip ties who'd been blocking "Hinds Hall"
The Jerusalem Post has removed and now retracted an article on its website and also two tweets which falsely claimed Muhammad Hani Al-Zahar, a 5-month-old Palestinian baby who died in Gaza yesterday, was "a doll" and not real.
Our leaders must call for immediate ceasefire & deescalation; demand protection of all civilians, secure the release of hostages; & tell the Israeli govt to turn on electricity in Gaza & allow humanitarian aid for Palestinians to enter!
