A massive new anti-Israel tent city took over Columbia University on Sunday, just days after an NYPD raid cleared another intrusive encampment there and cuffed more than 100 protesters.
At least 30 tents were sprawled across the Manhattan Ivy League school’s West Lawn along with piles of food and supplies as embattled university officials struggled to contain the growing crisis.
The upheaval and threats to Jewish students have become so intolerable that a prominent rabbi at the prestigious school urged them Sunday to stay home — and university officials told them they could take classes online.
“We are looking for our demands, and we are going to continue that,”

Where I live a farmer would drive up with a liquid manure wagon and start spraying. The squatters would disappear instantly.

Columbia's administration cannot bring itself to act against Leftist demonstrations. They have been coddling them for decades after all.

Great! A 'Palestinian' refugee camp in NYC. They better shut it down because they won't leave on their own. How old are the PLO camps in the Middle East?

NYC police have horses, right? Let the horses do their business in the middle of these tent cities.

Pork. Yes -- bacon, ham, pork chops, ribs. Pork is like kryptonite to a Muslim. That's how they ended a violent Muslim "problem" in the Philippines a century ago.

Ending a few federal research grants or other federal money to Columbia and a few of the other universities where terrorist protesters are allowed free run would end these protests really fast. Nothing like losing some federal money to change a universities mind about something.

Do not expect any meaningful or effective solutions from the Biden administration because they cannot afford to lose the Muslim vote. So it is hands off from them. Likewise Columbia University is so entrenched in their own leftist narrative that they will be feckless. It is difficult to walk a line between these protests and their Jewish students. So, therefore, they will be useless to deal with this problem. New York State will not weigh in any way as they are feckless and afraid. These protestors know this. They are not stupid but they are stubborn bullies who as Poster #6 says will not leave on their own. They would love nothing more than to set up a permanent camp in this country. They want to be a thorn in our sides. It is what they do.
What must be done is to get rid of this camp as soon as possible. When they start putting up any kind of a structure, that automatically moves this from protests to an unlawful trespass. Then the arrests come. Book them. Get their identities on record and trespass them from ever coming back on campus. Those who are students are expelled. The rest are arrested and held without bond for a month. Unlawful? Tell that to the J6 political prisoners. Democrats have already set the precedent. Make it clear protests are to be peaceful, lawful, and they are not opportunities to set up tent cities on any property, private or public. Your are going to need a real leader to pull this off and we don’t have one that has the desire to buck this group of people so don’t expect anything more than indulgence by Biden’s regime and media coverage fawning over the right of the students to protest.
However, this has gone beyond any definition of protest. This is an unlawful trespass by lawless bullies who believe they have the right to act out in any way without any pushback. It is outrageous and they came to this country for this very reason. They want to create chaos and most of all they want to spread anti-semitism and the lie that Palestine is even a state. They were offered a solution which they did not deserve and turned down many times. This tells me they want to use this issue for political purposes just as democrats use abortion. They have no desire to live in peace with Israel if they were to be given everything they want. Ultimately, they want Israel to cease to exist and that is not going to happen. This is a religious war that will not end. It can only be contained and managed. While Israel would and could live in peace with them. These Muslims would rather die, live in abject property and wage war for the next thousand years instead of giving their children a future worth living. You cannot reason with a religious zealot and all this goes directly back to the command in their holy book to kill the Jew.

Firehoses, full pressure will clear the feces off the lawn! Even though Columbia very much deserves this attention and destruction, they probably will not correct their evil ways!

If they are dumb enough to gather in one visible place, nuke 'em. (figuratively) They don't believe in a cause, they are paid agitators. Take their supplies and drop hornets and snakes in there.

#14 I doubt they can come up with 20 student IDs. They are probably the same "activists" that Soros paid during the black lives matter protests.

Much like Occupy Wallstreet, these people are being funded by someone. Who's funding them? Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked to discover the Biden Administration is funding them. But, definitely coming from Dem allies and Dem dark money.

How many of them are actual students at Columbia? For security reasons they should not be able to wear masks.

Israel has the Technion where inventions, discoveries and innovations are made in science, engineering,medicine, technology and agriculture. The muslims with their 7th century mentality, spend their time yelling death to Israel, death to America. Which group is in step with the civilized world?

All this direct action is timed for Passover which begins at sundown tonight and lasts until the 30th.
