Columbia FACULTY Form Human Chain Around Pro-Hamas Encampment

Karine Jean-Pierre was asked Monday about the occupation of the Columbia campus by Hamas sympathizers. She didn't have much to offer; the White House is letting universities handle these protests on their own. We're not sure what's going on at Columbia. The administration said on Saturday that it would not be calling the police again to clear the encampment, saying it would be counterproductive and inflame tensions. But on Monday we heard that the protesters were being given until 2 p.m. to pack up their Gaza Liberation Zone and head out or face disciplinary measures. Not surprisingly, 2 p.m. has come and gone, and the inmates are still running the asylum. Someone bought high-visibility vests for the Columbia faculty, who locked arms around the student encampment to prevent any disruption. Unbelievable. Columbia faculty lock arms to prevent police from clearing the encampment. Why do they still have jobs? At least they had the foresight to wear their COVID masks.
