Antisemitic riot at Columbia reaches boiling point as agitators take over academic building, barricade doors

Anti-Israel protesters dialed up their demonstration at Columbia University by taking over an academic building after the school suspended students who did not abandon their encampment.

Other footage showed the agitators in New York smashing windows, unfurling a Palestinian flag over a window and chanting: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" and "Palestine will live forever." Outside the facility, the anti-Israel rebels, many of whom wore masks, locked arms in front of Hamilton Hall to form a human barricade.

The students are demanding three things from the university: divest their financial support of Israel, become more transparent with the university's investments and provide blanket amnesty to students who have taken part in the disruptive, weeks-long demonstration.
