New Yorkers are losing their patience as pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University in Morningside Heights turned violent Tuesday when students stormed into and occupied a campus building, destroying property along the way.
Even before the violent uprising, New Yorkers from the Upper West Side to crosstown and beyond were getting fed up with the Columbia protestors. Students from the Ivy League school and other colleges across the country have been taking part in what appears to be a trend of protests for two weeks, demanding their schools do more to support Palestine — and less to support Israel — amid the ongoing war in the Middle East.
