Tarek Barzouk assaulted two Jewish @Columbia students and nothing happened until the federal government intervened. Why was he outside Columbia? Because Columbia students keep calling on VIOLENT protestors, such as WOL, to march outside the gates, endangering Jewish students. 🧵
Look at Barzouk’s text messages. They are openly antisemitic. This is who @Columbia protestors keep inviting to our campus. The protests are not anti-war or pro-Palestinian. They are filled to the brim with Jew-hatred. If you still don't see that, you're willfully blind. 2/ Image
Columbia protestors have been chanting intifada and “no Zionists” for nearly 2 years. This language leads to violence against Jews and Israelis. @Columbia students were assaulted. Young staff of the Israeli embassy were murdered in DC. This rhetoric is unacceptable. Enough. 3/3

THREAD: Many have described @Columbia’s response to the government’s conditions for returning funding as a “total capitulation”. It’s not. While there are some positive changes, let’s go through the response point by point, and discuss the good, the bad, and what’s missing. 🧵 Image
First, note that @WSJ reported that @Columbia was considering reforms on the government’s list since summer, and that there was “considerable overlap between needed campus changes” and the demands. It’s disappointing that it took governmental pressure to implement these changes. Image
Enforcement of disciplinary policies: The government asked @Columbia to complete disciplinary proceedings for the encampments and the takeover of Hamilton Hall. Columbia responded that they did that, and are continuing disciplinary proceedings. Unfortunately, that’s not the full story: Columbia has declined to discipline students who participated in the second encampment (which was set up on the opposite lawn after NYPD cleared the first one, and lasted much longer). Additionally, the appeals process for resolved disciplinary cases is still ongoing. Finally, participants who were arrested in the first encampment were let off with no additional punishment beyond the interim suspensions they had served.Image

🚨NEW: A shocking report from the @nypost announces a new federal investigation into @Columbia after janitors trapped in the Hamilton Hall occupation reported retaliatory harassment for reporting antisemitic conduct. Let's break it down. 🧵 nypost.com/2025/03/17/us-…
Lester Wilson and Mario Torres, two janitors who work @Columbia, started noticing an increase in racist and antisemitic graffiti in Nov. 2023. “No matter how many times Mr. Wilson removed the swastikas, individuals kept replacing them with more.”
Mr. Wilson lost track of how many swastikas he had to scrub, while Mr. Torres "pegged it in the dozens". Despite reporting it to his superiors, @Columbia did nothing, so Mr. Torres started throwing away chalk left in classrooms so the vandals wouldn't have anything to write with.

THREAD: There’s a lot of misinformation running around about Grant Miner, president of @Columbia’s graduate student union, and the reason for his expulsion. @UAW and other orgs have been trying to turn this into a labor or free speech issue. It’s not. Let’s clear things up. 🧵 Image
First, let’s make things clear. Grant is not a “peace activist”. On Oct 9th, 2023, he was photographed at a protest holding a sign justifying Oct 7th: “Resistance against occupation is a human right!”. Oct 7th was not "resistance", it was terrorism. Image
On Oct 12th, 2023, Grant, then vice president of the union, sent an email to the union supporting a statement praising Oct 7th. Grant called Hamas a "militant group" and Oct 7th a "military action". Instead of supporting Jewish union members, Grant actively made their lives worse Image

This week has been overwhelmingly chaotic and disappointing for students across @Columbia and its next door sister college, @Barnard. Much has happened, so let’s recap- a thread 🧵 (1/11)
After the Trump Administration threatened to pull all federal contracts from Columbia on Monday (a move that would seriously hurt the Jewish students and researchers at the university), CUAD felt the next day was a good time to release never-before-seen footage of the “Battle of Hind’s Hall” aka the occupation of Hamilton Hall last April. Choice moments include throwing large chairs at police officers entering the building through a window. We’ll soon see this was in planned foreshadowing of the days to come…(2/11)
Later on Tuesday, @CBHillel and @IGP hosted a discussion and Q&A with Naftali Bennet, former Prime Minister of Israel. During the event, kept under wraps to ensure the security of all attendees, hateful mobs swarmed in protest at Columbia’s main gate. The next morning, one of these protestors proudly filmed themselves harassing the Dean of the School of International Affairs, Keren Yarhi-Milo, simply because she is Israeli, and moderated the event.

🧵THREAD: @Columbia admins effectively sanctioned ANTI-ISRAELI DISCRIMINATION toward students in the Tel Aviv University (TAU) dual-degree program.
The @EdWorkforceCmte report exposes shockingly high levels of apathy from former President Shafik and senior administrators towards students in the program experiencing overt discrimination on campus. (Screenshots in thread from pgs. 52-56) (1/n)Image
Image
Students in the TAU dual degree program “reported experiencing harassment on campus” since October 7. Canceling the program has consistently been one of SJP, JVP, and CUAD’s principal demands of @Columbia. (2/n) Image
Image
When Student Councils of 2 @Columbia undergraduate colleges approved ballot referendums on ending the program in March 2024, the TAU students faced intimidation and were alarmed “with good reason” that their peers would be voting “whether we have the right to be on campus.” (3/n) Image

THREAD 🧵: We've compiled some of the worst incidents from @Columbia's disciplinary data in @EdWorkforceCmte's report. Let’s do a deep dive into what Jews at @Columbia have been reporting and, more importantly, how Columbia responded… (Data from Pgs. 141-186) (1/n) Image
A student reported being threatened by a protest “guard”, a former acquaintance, just for wearing a hat with Hebrew writing. The “guard” was not disciplined by @Columbia. (2/n) Image
Students reported being harassed at 1am, after the first large pro-Hamas protest at @Columbia, “cause you a jew.” Campus security excused it as “free speech,” and the university never followed up with the student. The perpetrator was not disciplined. (3/n) Image
