On January 21, 2025, anti-Israel protesters disrupted a 'History of Modern Israel' class at Columbia University by entering the classroom, handing out violent fliers, and causing a confrontation with students. Video footage showcased students expressing their opposition to the pamphlets, with some quickly crumpling them up. Columbia's interim president condemned the incident and emphasized that such actions and hateful imagery were unacceptable. The clash highlighted tensions surrounding discussions about Zionism and the impact of protest actions in educational environments.
"This is a civil rights violation, we're trying to learn," another peeved pupil said.
Interim Columbia School President Katrina Armstrong denounced the disruption, saying it was "unacceptable on our campus and in our community."
