A new round of anti-Israel demonstrations has sparked at Columbia University, where a small group of protesters gathered to support the latest student encampment. The protests coincide with the university's alumni reunion weekend, and tensions rose as campus public safety officers attempted to dismantle the tents that were set up on Friday evening. Despite these efforts, several tents remained on the lawn as students spent the night in the encampment.
Named 'Revolt for...,' the new encampment features tents, food supplies, sleeping bags, and pillows scattered across the lawn. Signs with messages like 'we're back' were also displayed, signaling the protesters' determination. The decision to pitch the tents during the alumni reunion weekend was strategic, aiming to draw attention to their cause.
