░░░░░░░░ students held an emergency ░░░░░░░░ and news conference on ░░░░░░░░ today and response to ░░░░░░░░ policy changes watch The ░░░░░░░░ cut of all was ░░░░░░░░ Friday in the late ░░░░░░░░ when our own administration ░░░░░░░░ s administration issued an ░░░░░░░░ for page memo acquiescing ░░░░░░░░ many of the government ░░░░░░░░ demands Why was that ░░░░░░░░ memo so bad a ░░░░░░░░ to extortion

thanks for ░░░░░░░░ the leventhal report on ░░░░░░░░ has your experience been ░░░░░░░░ as a student at ░░░░░░░░ Do you feel safe ░░░░░░░░ really and I think ░░░░░░░░ this past week has ░░░░░░░░ that there isn t ░░░░░░░░ salaried at the same ░░░░░░░░ I m really not ░░░░░░░░ that guess new step ░░░░░░░░ the Columbia administration and ░░░░░░░░ the Trump Administration is ░░░░░░░░ going to make a ░░░░░░░░ and I m certainly ░░░░░░░░ that it well and ░░░░░░░░ these new demands are ░░░░░░░░ put into place Honestly ░░░░░░░░ have no way of ░░░░░░░░ knowing and telly to ░░░░░░░░ what happens What what ░░░░░░░░ it been like for ░░░░░░░░ Witnessing and being surrounded ░░░░░░░░ all of these anti ░░░░░░░░ protests on your campus ░░░░░░░░ the streets of New ░░░░░░░░ City It s very ░░░░░░░░ it s very tiring ░░░░░░░░ just ready to go ░░░░░░░░ class and I just ░░░░░░░░ to learn and you ░░░░░░░░ a few weeks ago ░░░░░░░░ had mid terms in ░░░░░░░░ protest interrupting everyone studying ░░░░░░░░ midterm season and we ░░░░░░░░ got back from spring ░░░░░░░░ everyone s getting ready ░░░░░░░░ take gear out for ░░░░░░░░ rest of the mid ░░░░░░░░ season and to get ░░░░░░░░ for finals and it ░░░░░░░░ been very hard to ░░░░░░░░ study for my classes ░░░░░░░░ to actually attend my ░░░░░░░░ in the first place ░░░░░░░░ as a Jewish sitting ░░░░░░░░ particular it s been ░░░░░░░░ overwhelming just knowing that ░░░░░░░░ any moment something like ░░░░░░░░ could happen again See ░░░░░░░░ if it was one ░░░░░░░░ my two daughters go ░░░░░░░░ Colombia or barnard or ░░░░░░░░ any of these schools ░░░░░░░░ being surrounded by these ░░░░░░░░ Israel anti Jewish protest ░░░░░░░░ would be rattle the ░░░░░░░░ of the administration so ░░░░░░░░ be on the phone ░░░░░░░░ them everyday same What ░░░░░░░░ you doing to protect ░░░░░░░░ daughter What are you ░░░░░░░░ to stop this and ░░░░░░░░ obviously we re not ░░░░░░░░ enough so I have ░░░░░░░░ parents tried to to ░░░░░░░░ in on this You ░░░░░░░░ of other students whose ░░░░░░░░ have had enough What ░░░░░░░░ you think about what ░░░░░░░░ been happening and you ░░░░░░░░ that concessions that Columbia ░░░░░░░░ is enough to stop ░░░░░░░░ I don t I ░░░░░░░░ t really know that ░░░░░░░░ s enough I won ░░░░░░░░ say My parents have ░░░░░░░░ very supportive of me ░░░░░░░░ on the news and ░░░░░░░░ standing up and showing ░░░░░░░░ face and my friendships ░░░░░░░░ an eye Palette publish ░░░░░░░░ open letter a few ░░░░░░░░ ago saying that we ░░░░░░░░ t stand with the ░░░░░░░░ sitting government and their ░░░░░░░░ for the reinstatement of ░░░░░░░░ students who and expelled ░░░░░░░░ I know many parents ░░░░░░░░ Columbia and barnard students ░░░░░░░░ alumni in Columbia barnard ░░░░░░░░ signed that letter which ░░░░░░░░ certainly appreciated We had ░░░░░░░░ 13 hundred signatures but ░░░░░░░░ ll release just have ░░░░░░░░ see what happens in ░░░░░░░░ of whether these demands ░░░░░░░░ make any changes on ░░░░░░░░ because the Columbia administration ░░░░░░░░ technically acquiesce to many ░░░░░░░░ the terms that the ░░░░░░░░ Administration put in place ░░░░░░░░ they didn t really ░░░░░░░░ it in the ways ░░░░░░░░ that it was laid ░░░░░░░░ So we have a ░░░░░░░░ of work to do ░░░░░░░░ name and nervous and ░░░░░░░░ to see how it ░░░░░░░░ on campus Well earlier ░░░░░░░░ students and faculty gathered ░░░░░░░░ protest the policy changes ░░░░░░░░ in black to quote ░░░░░░░░ the loss of academic ░░░░░░░░ Isn t there protests ░░░░░░░░ sign of support for ░░░░░░░░ Semitism and can you ░░░░░░░░ protests supporting discrimination against ░░░░░░░░ other ethnic or racial ░░░░░░░░ like Asians or African ░░░░░░░░ There s no way ░░░░░░░░ administration would put up ░░░░░░░░ that So why are ░░░░░░░░ putting up with it ░░░░░░░░ I m really not ░░░░░░░░ I mean this is ░░░░░░░░ of been the story ░░░░░░░░ Jews for all time ░░░░░░░░ we just keep getting ░░░░░░░░ hatred and I m ░░░░░░░░ not sure why But ░░░░░░░░ know that these these ░░░░░░░░ are really like they ░░░░░░░░ they re protesting for ░░░░░░░░ that I don t ░░░░░░░░ under stand there calling ░░░░░░░░ free speech even though ░░░░░░░░ don t know how ░░░░░░░░ can call this free ░░░░░░░░ because to me it ░░░░░░░░ very clearly an incitement ░░░░░░░░ violence calling for an ░░░░░░░░ calling to globalize the ░░░░░░░░ saying there is only ░░░░░░░░ solution and that solution ░░░░░░░░ revolution It s kind ░░░░░░░░ terrifying to me that ░░░░░░░░ only students but professors ░░░░░░░░ be agreeing with this ░░░░░░░░ teaching it to their ░░░░░░░░ Yeah I I was ░░░░░░░░ shock when I saw ░░░░░░░░ footage of protesters wearing ░░░░░░░░ handing out leaflets that ░░░░░░░░ a boot stomping on ░░░░░░░░ or stop it on ░░░░░░░░ Jewish star going inside ░░░░░░░░ or make it all ░░░░░░░░ of noise and interrupting ░░░░░░░░ at actual lesson in ░░░░░░░░ and the school didn ░░░░░░░░ shot That I m ░░░░░░░░ shocked that they didn ░░░░░░░░ do more to protected ░░░░░░░░ kids and stop these ░░░░░░░░ Americans They won t ░░░░░░░░ students on campus and ░░░░░░░░ these protests now down ░░░░░░░░ Princeton in New Jersey ░░░░░░░░ university president had a ░░░░░░░░ things to say about ░░░░░░░░ s policy changes The ░░░░░░░░ wrote to the Atlantic ░░░░░░░░ the attack on Columbia ░░░░░░░░ a radical threat to ░░░░░░░░ excellence and to America ░░░░░░░░ leadership and research Universities ░░░░░░░░ their leader should speak ░░░░░░░░ and litigate forcefully a ░░░░░░░░ threat Do they not ░░░░░░░░ the actual radical threat ░░░░░░░░ playing out on all ░░░░░░░░ these campuses across America ░░░░░░░░ radical threat are these ░░░░░░░░ wearing radicals who are ░░░░░░░░ Jewish students It just ░░░░░░░░ so obvious to me ░░░░░░░░ and mouth mood coolio ░░░░░░░░ is just deported has ░░░░░░░░ in or who is ░░░░░░░░ the process of potentially ░░░░░░░░ depart in he s ░░░░░░░░ detained He we just ░░░░░░░░ out that he didn ░░░░░░░░ declare that he was ░░░░░░░░ member of under ah ░░░░░░░░ this is making so ░░░░░░░░ connections in my brain ░░░░░░░░ we ve heard of ░░░░░░░░ how many people who ░░░░░░░░ for enron are also ░░░░░░░░ of Hamas and so ░░░░░░░░ if not politically it ░░░░░░░░ not really a member ░░░░░░░░ Hamas He clearly supports ░░░░░░░░ and so this participation ░░░░░░░░ he had an all ░░░░░░░░ the protests at Columbia ░░░░░░░░ not surprising at all ░░░░░░░░ is it that you ░░░░░░░░ like to see that ░░░░░░░░ and other schools I ░░░░░░░░ are still not doing ░░░░░░░░ What can they do ░░░░░░░░ make a difference The ░░░░░░░░ thing I need to ░░░░░░░░ is that this mask ░░░░░░░░ is actually put into ░░░░░░░░ and that everybody is ░░░░░░░░ to keep their faces ░░░░░░░░ and enter not conceal ░░░░░░░░ identities other than or ░░░░░░░░ or religious exemptions not ░░░░░░░░ at protests but in ░░░░░░░░ and another big thing ░░░░░░░░ adopting the ira definition ░░░░░░░░ anti Semitism which is ░░░░░░░░ of the most widely ░░░░░░░░ definitions of anti Semitism ░░░░░░░░ there and Columbia was ░░░░░░░░ to accept that definition ░░░░░░░░ they haven t done ░░░░░░░░ yet but I think ░░░░░░░░ one working definition of ░░░░░░░░ anti Semitism really means ░░░░░░░░ going to clear up ░░░░░░░░ of these confusions and ░░░░░░░░ intricacies that are going ░░░░░░░░ in terms of discipline ░░░░░░░░ Well I would add ░░░░░░░░ more item to that ░░░░░░░░ wearing bad If you ░░░░░░░░ going to wear a ░░░░░░░░ for religious or health ░░░░░░░░ you can t take ░░░░░░░░ in a protest Sorry ░░░░░░░░ that s of Scott ░░░░░░░░ make that a strict ░░░░░░░░ no mask in protest ░░░░░░░░ because out dolls are ░░░░░░░░ for religious reasons Well ░░░░░░░░ If you re that ░░░░░░░░ just you shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ out there attacking Jews ░░░░░░░░ get out of a ░░░░░░░░ out of the protests ░░░░░░░░ keep your mouth gone ░░░░░░░░ s how it s ░░░░░░░░ be that we have ░░░░░░░░ leave it there though ░░░░░░░░ berman good luck with ░░░░░░░░ studies Good luck With ░░░░░░░░ finals Coming up and ░░░░░░░░ for joining leventhal report ░░░░░░░░ gets helmet come on ░░░░░░░░ the United States and ░░░░░░░░ held talks today on ░░░░░░░░ ceasefire negotiations after a ░░░░░░░░ of drone attacks between ░░░░░░░░ warring nations.
