More Anti-Israel Protests at Columbia

 If we give student visas to foreign students who want to come to America to receive an education that they can't get in their home country, shouldn't we expect them to be on their best behavior?  And if they aren't, shouldn't we just cancel their visa and send them home?

If we gave student visas to German men and they all formed THE NAZI PARTY of Harvard and started parading around campus with Swastika flags and making Jews very uncomfortable, doesn't it seem like common sense to send them home?

If we invite Muslims from other nations and they start calling for "Death for America!", and preaching the Islamic takeover of America and death to anyone who refuses to submit to Allah, wouldn't it seem fair and right to cancel the student visas and send them home?

Dozens of anti-Israel activists stormed Columbia University’s Butler Library on Wednesday only to find themselves trapped in a single room after university security staff confronted the protesters.

Wearing keffiyehs and chanting “Free, free Palestine” to protest Israel’s ongoing war against the Hamas terror organization, the demonstrators forced their way into the Butler Library at approximately 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, pushing aside a security guard.

Seizing control of the library, some protesters hung Palestine Liberation Organization flags and signs over bookshelves, defaced library walls, and scrawled graffiti on a glass case, while others beat drums and chanted anti-Israel slogans.

In the midst of the takeover, Columbia’s acting president, Claire Shipman, blasted the activists, adding that the university had no choice but to request that police arrest the demonstrators.

“Disruptions to our academic activities will not be tolerated and are violations of our rules and policies; this is especially unacceptable while our students study and prepare for final exams,” she said.

“Columbia strongly condemns violence on our campus, antisemitism and all forms of hate and discrimination, some of which we witnessed today.”

After the activists seized control over the library, university security guards cleared the main reading room of demonstrators, forcing them into a side room, where they were detained until police arrived on the scene.

Guards refused to allow protesters to leave the room unless they provided identification, with none of the demonstrators consenting to do so.

When officers reached the library, the roughly 80 protesters held in the side room were taken into custody.

The entire incident lasted roughly five hours, witnesses said.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said via X that any foreign nationals involved in the illegal protest would lose their visas and face deportation.

“We’re reviewing the visa status of the trespassers and vandals who took over Columbia University’s library. Pro-Hamas thugs are no longer welcome in our great nation,” he said.
