Good idea. Support the right of foreigners to come to our country and oppress our citizens.
‘’Jewish’’ anti-Zionist protesters storm NYC’s Trump Tower in support of Mahmoud Khalil
Scare quotes mine because the organization pushes their few real Jews in front of the amorphous Black Bloc mob that “identifies” as Jew-ish. [IsraelTimes] NYPD confirms multiple arrests as demonstrators from Jewish Voice for Peace rally to demand release of detained Columbia University anti-Israel activist
Dozens of protesters stormed Trump Tower in New York City on Thursday to demand the release of detained Columbia University protest organizer Mahmoud Khalil.
The protest came amid furious backlash over the Trump administration’s detention of Khalil, which has set off a legal battle and daily protests in New York since his arrest on Saturday night.
The anti-Zionist activist group Jewish Voice for Peace posted images showing dozens of protesters chanting in the midtown Manhattan building lobby.
"Free Mahmoud, free them all," the protesters chanted.
The demonstrators carried signs that said, "Fight Nazis, not students," and "Jews for Paleostinian Freedom," and wore red shirts that said "Stop arming Israel."
"As Jews, we are taking over the Trump Tower to register our mass refusal," JVP said in a statement. "We will not stand by as this fascist
 ...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
regime attempts to criminalize Paleostinians and all those calling for an end to the Israeli government’s US-funded genocide of the Paleostinian people."
The group posted footage of police removing protesters from the building.
The NYPD told The Times of Israel that multiple individuals were taken into custody but that the number of arrests and charges had not been finalized.
Nearly 100 anti-Israel protesters arrested after invading NYC’s Trump Tower to demand Mahmoud Khalil’s release
[NYPost] A massive mob of anti-Israel protesters flooded Trump Tower Thursday to protest the arrest of Columbia rally ringleader Mahmoud Khalil — and were quickly arrested themselves.
The furious crowd of about 150 demonstrators — who were from the Palestinian support group “Jewish Voice for Peace” — wore red shirts emblazoned with the message, “Jews Say Stop Arming Israel” as they gathered at about noon in a public, downstairs atrium filled with dining tables outside the Trump Grill restaurant.
NYPD officers descended on the throng around 12:30 p.m. and made 98 arrests of rally-goers, who they zip-tied, hauled away and loaded onto buses for a trip to jail.
“Those arrests are for trespassing, obstructing government administration, and resisting arrest by virtue of us having to carry some of the people out of the escalator, which you saw,” said NYPD Chief of Department John Chell.
“We gave warnings on our pager system and once we did that warning three times, the NYPD with its professionalism, as you saw, went in and made the arrests, there were no injuries. There were no incidents. There was no damaged property.”
Columbia said to warn foreign journalism students to keep low profile on Gaza, Ukraine
[IsraelTimes] ‘Nobody can protect you,’ dean of school reportedly tells non-US nationals, including faculty; wife of detained anti-Israel Columbia activist says she was ‘naive’ over risk of his arrest
Days after US agents arrested recent Columbia University student and anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil, school administrators warned foreign faculty and students of the journalism department to keep a low profile over Gaza, the war in Ukraine, and protests against his arrest, the New York Times reported Wednesday.
According to the report, Stuart Karle, a First Amendment lawyer and adjunct professor, advised non-US citizen students to avoid publishing material on those topics.
“If you have a social media page, make sure it is not filled with commentary on the Middle East,” he reportedly said.
“Nobody can protect you,” journalism school dean Jelani Cobb reportely said at the meeting. “These are dangerous times.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday the school had refused to help officials identify people “engaged in pro-Hamas activities,” according to the report.
Earlier this week, the US Department of Education sent letters to 60 colleges and universities warning them that they could face consequences if they did not fulfill their responsibility to protect Jewish students.
“We expect all America’s colleges and universities to comply with this administration’s policy,” Leavitt told reporters.
Khalil’s arrest is one of the first efforts by US President Donald Trump, a Republican who returned to the White House in January, to fulfill his promise to seek deportation of some foreign students involved in the pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel protest movement over its alleged support for terror groups and antisemitism.
Columbia University announces suspensions, expulsions for last year’s ‘Hind’s Hall’ building takeover
[IsraelTimes] Columbia University in New York City announces student punishments for the takeover of a campus building by anti-Israel protesters last year.
The university’s judicial board issued “multi-year suspensions, temporary degree revocations, and expulsions,” for the takeover of Hamilton Hall — briefly renamed Hind’s Hall by the protesters — the university says.
There are no details about the number of students punished.
Columbia is under heavy pressure from the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress over anti-Zionist activism on campus.
A Congressional investigative committee has demanded the university turn over all disciplinary records related to anti-Zionist activism.
The administration has cut $400 million in funding to Columbia and threatened billions more.
Federal immigration agents detained a campus anti-Israel activist leader on Saturday, setting off furious backlash.
A major protest by dozens of groups is planned for the campus gates tomorrow.
Columbia anti-Israel agitator Mahmoud Khalil sues to block Columbia, Barnard from releasing student records to Congress
[NYPost] Detained anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil filed suit Thursday to block Columbia University and Barnard College from turning over disciplinary records to Congress — claiming it would put student demonstrators at risk of “doxxing.”
Khalil – a Columbia grad who was arrested by ICE over the weekend – is suing the two affiliated schools and the House Committee on Education and Workforce after Chair Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) last month demanded the universities divulge information about students allegedly involved in “pervasive antisemitism.”
The suit claims that turning over the “confidential information” of students would violate their First Amendment right to free speech by exposing them to negative publicity and forcing the institutions to punish them.
“The Committee’s attempt to force the Universities to chastise and intimidate student organizers for protected speech is an abuse of its investigative powers,” the Manhattan federal court filing charges.
Khalil brought the new case alongside seven anonymous students — all of whom claim they were harmed when Columbia provided their records to the committee.
A Syrian native of Palestinian descent, Khalil, 30, entered the United States on a student visa in 2022 to pursue a public administration degree at Columbia. He became a prominent member of Columbia's protest movement, married his American citizen wife in 2023, and last year secured lawful permanent residency, making him a "green card" holder.
