Columbia's anti-Israel protesters say Trump pulling $400M in grants from university is a 'scare tactic'
Fox News
Student protesters at Columbia University criticized the Trump administration's pulling of $400 million in federal grants to the university.
"The Trump administration's announcement that it plans to cancel $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia is a transparent scare tactic," the group wrote on an Instagram slideshow. "The decision has nothing to do with the fabricated charges of antisemitism they are using as a thin cover to slash funding."
"The federal government is once again attempting to prolong the US-backed genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank by redirecting outrage from the US's role in genocide to the decolonial student protesters who it baselessly labels antiemetic," the post continued.
