Police arrest over 100 pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia, including congresswoman’s daughter

LA Times  

New York police stand guard as demonstrators chant slogans outside the Columbia University campus Thursday. New York police removed a pro-Palestinian protest encampment at Columbia University on Thursday and arrested more than 100 demonstrators, including the daughter of a prominent Minnesota congresswoman. Several students involved in the protest said they were also suspended from Columbia and Barnard College, including Isra Hirsi, who is the daughter of Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. The students had been protesting on campus since early Wednesday, opposing Israeli military action in Gaza and demanding the school divest from companies they say “profit from Israeli apartheid.” Shafik issued a statement saying the school had warned protesters Wednesday that they would be suspended if the encampment was not removed. Pro-Palestinian protesters reorganized on campus a short time later, chanting, “Shame.” “We demand full amnesty for all students disciplined for their involvement in the encampment or the movement for Palestinian liberation,” the protest coalition said in a statement.
