An alarming situation is developing at Columbia University’s campus where a group of pro-Hamas rioters have forcefully entered Hamilton Hall. Footage reveals several individuals in traditional Middle Eastern attire breaking windows with hammers. The rioters have now barricaded themselves inside the building using picnic tables. It is worth noting that Hamilton Hall was previously occupied by Vietnam War protesters in 1968. As of now, no arrests have been made due to the restriction preventing police from entering the private university’s campus. Jewish students are advised to evacuate the campus without delay.

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY: Students have taken over Hamilton Hall.
This escalation is in line with uprisings in 1968, 1985 and 1996, which Columbia repressed then and celebrates today.
All power to students putting their bodies and livelihoods on the line to stand against genocide. pic.twitter.com/YstaG9l9iZ
