Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and other members of the far-left 'Squad' are facing a class action lawsuit alleging that they incited and encouraged anti-Israel protests and encampments at Columbia University earlier this year. The lawsuit, filed anonymously by five students, also names Democratic Reps. Jamal Bowman of New York and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, along with roughly a dozen anti-Israel organizing groups.

The lawsuit claims that the Gaza Encampment at Columbia University involved extreme and illegal conduct that violated university rules. The occupants of the encampment were accused of harassing, following, physically blocking, intimidating, and bullying Jewish students on campus.
