Anti-Israel protesters at Barnard College arrested after mob turns violent
Share and Follow

More protests broke out on Thursday at New York City’s Barnard College after a group of more than 50 anti-Israel agitators took over a building on campus the day before. 

The NYPD made several arrests after the protests reignited, with around 100 anti-Israel demonstrators gathering in front of the entrance to Barnard, once again wearing masks and keffiyehs and chanting, “Free Palestine.” 

Tension rose and became more chaotic as protesters marched from Barnard to CUNY’s City College campus, to protest outside Gov. Kathy Hochul’s event at CUNY, which was canceled due to the anticipated protest. 

The protesters were heard chanting criticisms of Hochul and “NYPD KKK,” and tried to breach police barricades and get close to officers’ faces.

The account also posted a list of demands accompanied by “WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL OUR DEMANDS ARE MET. FREE PALESTINE.”

The demands include an “immediate reversal of the two Barnard students’ expulsions” and “amnesty for all students disciplined for pro-Palestine action or thought. Drop all the charges now!”

They also requested a public meeting with Dean Leslie Grinage and President Laura Rosenbury, and the abolition of the “corrupt Barnard disciplinary process,” demanding complete transparency for current, past and future disciplinary proceedings.

The students vowed that they will continue to disrupt the campus until these demands are met.
