ON BROADWAY 113TH

Columbia issuing a shelter-in-place order before unleashing the NYPD on its students is beyond bleak. The Student Movement is once again stripping bare the ugly, racist face of this Zionist country. Liberation within our lifetime.

Arrests underway on 114th as NYPD clears protesters from the area surrounding campus. They’re shoving people into buildings and blocking the doors. NYPD has kicked all legal observers out of the area.

The first in a series of excepts from Israeli scholar Maya Wind's book 'Towers of Ivory and Steel' documenting the extensive complicity of Israeli academic institutions in Israel's decades-long regime of apartheid.
