#Trump, a [purely self-interested] #Republican, is also trying to #deport some pro-Palestinian #international #students at #US #schools, saying their presence could *harm* US #ForeignPolicy interests [utter crap].

The #protesters in the library also demanded the release of #MahmoudKhalil, a #Palestinian activist & #Columbia graduate student who remains in a Louisiana immigrant #jail after he was among the first to be #arrested for #deportation.

Continued thread

The #university said 34 #protesters were #arrested, & charges of trespassing, property destruction & disorderly conduct were referred to prosecutors.

On Wed, it said the 21 #students who were among those arrested have been #suspended & #banned from all of the school's campuses.

#Columbia was at the forefront of a pro-#Palestinian & anti-war student #protest movement that swept across US campuses last year over #Israel's war in #Gaza, which began in 2023.

"Before “fake news” gained traction in the modern day, the #Damascus #BloodLibel became a clear example of the damage that could be done. On February 5, 1840, a Capuchin monk, Father Thomas, and his Muslim servant disappeared mysteriously. Their disappearance fueled the fire for a false and malicious rumor quickly spread, alleging that the city’s #Jews had #kidnapped and #murdered them to use their blood for baking #Passover #matzah.

The #French consul in Damascus at the time was known for his #antisemitic views and took the opportunity to take the allegations and formally accuse the #Jewish community of ritual murder. This led to severe repercussions — Jewish leaders were #arrested, subjected to brutal #torture, and many were coerced into giving #falseconfessions. The wave of persecution shocked the global Jewish community, triggering an unprecedented international effort to intervene on behalf of Damascus #Jewry."
