| 2025-05-09 | ||
| [FoxNews] Majority of those detained were female students who renamed Butler Library the 'Basel Al-Araj Popular University' The New York Police Department arrested 61 females after anti-Israel agitators stormed Columbia University's Butler Library on Wednesday as students were studying for finals. In total, the NYPD made 80 arrests – 19 males and 61 females, according to a source. A source also said at least 50 of the 80 protesters arrested were Columbia University students.
At the entrance gate to Columbia University, a security guard said, "Nobody comes in, nobody comes out." Claire Shipman, Columbia's acting president, said in a statement on Wednesday that the NYPD was called to help "secure" the building. She added that two university police officers were injured. "Sadly, during the course of this disruption, two of our Columbia Public Safety Officers sustained injuries during a crowd surge when individuals attempted to force their way into the building and into Room 301," Shipman said. "These actions are outrageous."
“Violence and vandalism, hijacking a library — none of that has any place on our campus,” Shipman says. “Let me be clear: Columbia unequivocally rejects antisemitism and all other forms of harassment and discrimination.” Shipman says 900 students were forced out of the library during the protests.

| #4 The consequences of mission failure? Same might be said for failed "hunters and gatherers." They 'miss the boat' and stomp their tiny feets. Defy the laws of nature and the natural order at your own risk. How motherhood helps women expand their identities and perspectives. |

| #3 So to show support for the Terrorist supporting Palo's that seek the deaths, rape & kidnapping of even children, and physical harm of any non-Muslin/Islamic. A group that has Honor Kills of Females. These, Mostly Female Vandals, defaced and destroyed their own College Library? With estimates at around $250k+ in damages. A library needed by28,000+ other students who attend the college to learn and apply their education to doing things of a NON-VIOLENT nature. Is there any reason why the College shouldn't expel, sued for damages and BAN them from college property for life? |
