The escalating war in the Middle East has spilled into American colleges and universities, as dueling demonstrations continue to generate anger and frustration among students and faculty.
At Columbia University in new York, hundreds of students gathered Thursday afternoon on one side of the main campus’s lawn, waving Palestinian flags and signs celebrating recent terror attacks they called “resistance.” A moment of silence for those killed in Israeli retaliatory bombings was observed before the crowd started chanting “From the river to the sea,” a popular slogan used by the Hamas terrorist group.
