As Jews around the world commemorated Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, radical Columbia University students planned another violent and hateful encampment targeting their Jewish peers. Similarly, at Yale University, a new “encampment” gathered on April 23 to terrorize Jewish students. As a Columbia graduate disturbed by her alma mater’s moral and institutional failures, I have no choice but to decry this travesty.

For the last two years, Columbia has been essentially paralyzed by its surrender to Hamas supporters, the terrorist organization responsible for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of Jews. In fact, Columbia’s leading anti-Israel organization, Students for Justice in Palestine, which has been tied to Hamas directly, may have had advance knowledge of the Oct. 7 attacks. It reactivated its social media account and posted cryptically to “stay tuned” a mere three minutes before the attacks were carried out.
