According to a Fox News report, anti-Israel protesters allegedly assaulted an employee at Barnard College in New York City while carrying out a building takeover Wednesday night.
From Fox News:
A group of more than 50 anti-Israel protesters took over a building at New York City’s Barnard College and allegedly assaulted an employee Wednesday evening.
The students were protesting the expulsion of two students who stormed a Columbia University classroom in January and allegedly threw around flyers filled with hateful speech.
Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine displayed videos on X of masked students in a hallway beating on drums and chanting on megaphones.
The account also posted a list of demands accompanied by the text, “WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL OUR DEMANDS ARE MET. FREE PALESTINE.”
The demands include an “immediate reversal of the two Barnard students’ expulsions” and “amnesty for all students disciplined for pro-Palestine action or thought. Drop all the charges now!”
They also requested a public meeting with Dean Leslie Grinage and President Laura Rosenbury, and the abolition of the “corrupt Barnard disciplinary process,” demanding complete transparency for current, past and future disciplinary proceedings.
“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Pro-Hamas mobs have NO place on our college campuses. Barnard College & Columbia University must put an end to the antisemitic chaos on campus,” Speaker Mike Johnson posted on X.

“On the same day that the world was mourning the burial of the Bibas family murdered by Hamas terrorists, an antisemitic pro-Hamas mob violently took over Barnard College. Students committing these crimes should be immediately expelled and prosecuted by law enforcement. As President @realDonaldTrump outlined in his executive order, any visa-holding student participating in these antisemitic acts must be stripped of their visa and be deported,” Elise Stefanik posted.
