Bravo! Columbia University Students Re-Occupy Campus to Protest Israel Ties
May 10, 2025
Dozens of pro-Palestinian activists have staged a protest at Columbia University in the United States.
Footage posted on social media showed demonstrators standing on tables, chanting and beating drums inside the university’s main library.
Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a pro-Palestinian student group, said it had occupied the library to protest the university’s links to Israel.
“Over 100 people have just flooded Butler Library and renamed it the Basel Al-Araj Popular University,” the group said on Substack, referring to the Palestinian activist and writer who was killed by Israeli forces in 2017.
“The flood shows that as long as Columbia funds and profits from imperialist violence, the people will continue to disrupt Columbia’s profits and legitimacy. Repression breeds resistance – if Columbia escalates repression, the people will continue to escalate disruptions on this campus.”
