And the So, Oh, pro Palestine protests continue unabated at Columbia University ahead of the start of the Jewish holiday, Passover.

The school's president, Manus chafique, announced early Monday that classes will be

virtual as reports of anti-Semitic and offensive statements and actions on and near the campus escalate.

Someone just got arrested for things that generally got a lot more intense. With many Jewish students reporting that they feel unsafe, according to reports.

Demonstrators yelled at pro-Israel passer-buyers, one protester repeatedly,

chanted, We are Hamas.

Arguments rage in a battle for free speech.

I don't have faith that you'll do this.

You guys are all horrible human beings and Jesus probably would have killed you himself.

You were part of the protest just now?

Yeah.

Do you think free speech is being attacked?

Absolutely.

Has this been something which has only started happening in the last few weeks?

I think this is something which has started happening for years.

It's been happening since 1948.

The Palestinians have been speaking out for 75 years and they have been violently depressed.

A lot of us are members of minority communities who have experienced similar oppression

similar repression when we try to fight back.

I remind you that these holidays that we practice, that other people in the Global South practice believe in violent

revolution against their oppressors. There are these like two

narratives that are being presented that like you can either be a Zionist or pro-Palestinian and that's it.
