Students at Columbia University set up a new anti-Israel encampment on campus Friday night as the school is in the middle of hosting alumni weekend.
The defiant demonstrators — members of Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine — set up camp on the Manhattan campus’ south lawns alongside a giant white party tent already in place for the alumni event festivities that end Saturday.
“We’re back bitches,” declared one sign the protesters put up, video from the New York Times shows.
Another banner redesignated the area — for the third time — a “Liberated Zone.”
Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine confirmed the latest encampment at the Ivy League school in a Friday night social media post.
The Post has reached out to the university for comment.
