#2 It’s a looong article. More key bits:

In its report looking at protests on campus last year, the Canary Mission identified more than 300 Columbia faculty, students and others who were “influential in promoting Hamas ideology at Columbia” after the terror group’s October 7 attacks on Israel, which left 1,200 Israelis dead and saw 250 taken hostage.

However, most of the people who took part in the protests were “outside agitators” and only 68 were Columbia students, according to the 53-page study “From Tehran to Columbia: Inside America’s Student Intifada.”

Current University President Katrina Armstrong later made a statement, saying: “We strongly condemn this disruption, as well as the fliers that included violent imagery that is unacceptable on our campus.

“Disrupting academic activities constitutes a violation of the Rules of University conduct … We will move quickly to investigate and address this act.

“Any act of antisemitism, or other form of discrimination, harassment, or intimidation against members of our community will not be tolerated.”

Elsewhere across Columbia Tuesday — despite a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war — protesters banged drums, chanted and distributed the clearly antisemitic propaganda.

Vowing to continue their protests in 2025, the groups Columbia University Apartheid Divest and Within Our Lifetime wrote “We will not stop” in a social media post calling on people to attend their rally.

Columbia students Aidan Parisi as well as Andrew Timberg, a student in the Department of Religion, have also been heavily involved in the protests. Timberg was the spokesman for Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), a coalition of 80 anti-Israel groups, the study says.

“SJP chapters on college campuses across the US serve as student arms of Iran’s terror proxy, Hamas,” the report says, adding that Columbia hosted the first national SJP conference, during which it adopted “points of unity,” which included the destruction of Israel.

A spokesperson for Columbia said the school “strongly condemns antisemitism.”

“We are resolute that calls for violence or harm have no place at our University,” the spokesperson said.

“Since assuming her role in August, Interim President [Katrina] Armstrong and her leadership team have taken decisive actions to reinforce Columbia’s academic mission, make our community safe, and strengthen and clarify our disciplinary processes.”

So we see.

#4 I suspect New York City has anti-KKK laws about covered faces to hide identities while in public. They, like so many others, have just chosen not to enforce them for favoured groups.
