Police storm Yale University’s campus with riot gear as hundreds of students stage anti-Israel protest​

Emily Crane

Police clad in riot gear early Monday started swarming Yale University’s Connecticut campus, where hundreds of students have been staging an anti-Israel protest.

Footage posted online showed cops arriving at the Ivy League school and blocking off entrances to a plaza at the New Haven campus where roughly 200 protesters were gathered.

Cops have started warning protestors they risk being arrested if they don’t clear out, the Yale Daily News reported.

It wasn’t immediately clear if anyone had been arrested yet.

The situation comes after protests at Yale turned violent over the weekend when a Jewish student journalist reporting on the encampment, which was erected Friday, was stabbed in the eye with a Palestinian flag Saturday night.

Sahar Tartak, editor-in-chief of the Yale Free Press, was covering the protest when she was suddenly surrounded by demonstrators.

“There’s hundreds of people taunting me and waving the middle finger at me, and then this person waves a Palestinian flag in my face and jabs it in my eye,” Tartak told The Post.

“When I tried to yell and go after him, the protesters got in a line and stopped me.”

Yale president Peter Salovey sent students an email late Sunday warning the school “will pursue disciplinary actions according to its policies” amid the ongoing demonstrations.

“Many of the students participating in the protests, including those conducting counterprotests, have done so peacefully. However, I am aware of reports of egregious behavior, such as intimidation and harassment, pushing those in crowds, removal of the plaza flag, and other harmful acts,” he wrote.

“Yale does not tolerate actions, including remarks, that threaten, harass, or intimidate members of the university’s Jewish, Muslim, and other communities.

“The Yale Police Department is investigating each report, and we will take action when appropriate, including making referrals for student discipline.”

The arrival of cops comes after more than 100 protesters were cuffed and hauled away when the NYPD was called in to clear out a similar protest at Columbia University last week.

This is a developing story, please refresh for updates.

This student says they ‘hold the power,’ and ‘run the campus.’ They want their demands met.

So let them issue diplomas to themselves and go find a job with that.

There might be an employer who will actually give them a job - yunno - an employer connected with Hamas that makes bombs or guns. Let them live their demands.

Or die by them.

Ilhan Omar daughter barred from campus housing, dining hall after anti-Israel protest suspension, she says​

Ilhan Omar's daughter says she has no access to dorm, dining hall during Barnard College suspension​

Rep. Ilhan Omar's, D-Minn., daughter says she has nowhere to go and nothing to eat following her suspension from Barnard College after taking part in anti-Israel protests at Columbia University last week.
Isra Hirsi was among more than 100 people arrested and issued a summons for trespassing on Thursday after protests at Columbia University. Hours earlier, she said she had been suspended from Barnard College for "standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide."
The 21-year-old has gone into more detail about the suspension. Along with not being able to go to classes, she said she has been evicted from campus housing and banned from using the dining hall with her meal plan.
"I was a little bit frantic, like, where am I going to sleep? Where am I gonna go? And also all of my s--- is thrown in a random lot. It’s pretty horrible," she told Teen Vogue. "I don’t know when I can go home, and I don’t know if I ever will be able to."

The student said she reached out to campus administration, but did not hear back until 48 hours after her suspension was handed down, when she was told she could pick up a prepackaged bag of food.
Barnard College is one of four Columbia undergraduate schools that has an independent admissions process, curriculum and financial structure, as well as a separate administration, according to the New York Post. The college did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.

Dozens of anti-Israel activists began protesting at Columbia University on Wednesday morning, creating an encampment on the main lawn in protest of Israel's war against Hamas. Protests continued into the overnight hours with calls for an intifada and the death of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Omar praised her daughter's participation in the protests. Earlier in the week, she questioned Columbia administrators during a congressional hearing on Capitol Hill about anti-Israel activism on the Ivy League campus.

During the hearing, Omar sounded the alarm about what she called an "attack" with a "toxic chemical substance" at an anti-Israel protest at Columbia University. However, according to court documents, the substance was a non-toxic flatulence spray called "Liquid A--" and "Wet Farts."
Fox News Digital has reached out to Omar's office.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., suggested Hirsi's suspension was a reprisal for her mother's questions.
"The day after @IlhanMN questioned Columbia leadership's commitment to free academic expression, the school suspended her daughter?" Bowman posted online. "It's clear what is happening here. Our educational institutions should not be in the business of political reprisals."

Some of them are. But not enough.

Ilhan Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, says she’s homeless, cries poverty after suspension from $90K-per-year college over anti-Israel protests​

Nika Shakhnazarova and
The privileged daughter of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar amazingly claims she’s homeless and can’t get food after being kicked out of her prestigious $90,000-per-year Barnard College dorm following her arrest at last week’s anti-Israel protests on Columbia University’s campus.

Isra Hirsi, 21, and a handful of other Barnard students were slapped with suspensions after they were among the more than 100 protestors cuffed and hauled away for refusing to clear out from a tent encampment on the Ivy League school’s campus last Thursday.

“I was a little bit frantic, like, where am I going to sleep? Where am I gonna go?” she whined to Teen Vogue after learning she’d been evicted from campus housing and banned from using the dining hall.
“And also all of my s–t is thrown in a random lot. It’s pretty horrible,” said the disgraced student still supported by her Democratic “squad” member mom, who said she is ” enormously proud” of her daughter.

“I have like four shirts, two pairs of pants,” Hirsi complained. “I don’t know when I can go home, and I don’t know if I ever will be able to.”

Hirsi, who is a member of the anti-Israel student group Apartheid Divest, had already received notice of her suspension early Thursday — hours before the NYPD was called in to arrest protestors and help dismantle the anti-Israel protest encampment.

Barnard administrators had initially started warning their students late Wednesday that they risked being suspended if they didn’t clear out.

When Hirsi sought help from Barnard administration after being cut loose from jail on Thursday, she whined that she’d heard crickets.


“I sent them an email like, ‘Hey, I rely on campus for my meals, I rely on my dining plan,’ and they were like, Oh, you can come pick up a prepackaged bag of food, a full 48 hours after I was suspended,” she told the magazine.

“There was no food support, no nothing.”

Speaking about her arrest, Hirsi said she was held in custody for roughly eight hours.

“We had so many people who were born female in our group that they didn’t have enough space for us,” Hirsi told Teen Vogue of her arrest. “It was a very slow process in getting everybody into the cells.

“I was zip-tied for about seven hours and wasn’t released for about eight,” she added.

Elsewhere, she also complained about Barnard’s president, Laura Rosenbury, was taking a tougher stance on students that Columbia University.

“Only Barnard students are evicted, and I think it’s pretty crazy,” Hirsi griped.

“I think it’s really on a school-by-school basis, and Barnard has decided to take a very egregious stand against us,” she continued.

I get the need to punish students who break laws, but kicking them out of school, or out of the country, or failing them in their classes, or taking away their scholarships, or any of the other long line of "punishments" that folks think should be implemented to stop students from protesting, feels like a violation of the 1st amendment. As a person who has been visited by the alphabet agencies, and wakes up every day wondering if this is the day that I get hauled off to the gulag for protesting, and has lost opportunities in life because my protesting is offensive to some, I must admit that I do sometimes struggle to see the difference between the left and the right. It seems both sides are fine with protests, as long as what is being protested aligns with their beliefs, and very against protests (to the point of wanting to punish the act) that do not align with their beliefs.

As an American, I believe that anyone should be allowed to protest anything they like, as long as no laws are broken. Call me old fashioned.

Jack Posobiec/Darren Beattie at Human Events Daily addresses EXACTLY this.

I'll summarize but Beattie does it so much better - but you have to listen to the whole thing.

In summary, everyone should be allowed their "protest" - but "laws" must be enforced. And this an area where American Education has been sorely lacking, and reluctant. And the students know this. RT 10:01

That was not a peaceful protest. Additionally they were interfering with the rights of others.

You break the rules, you pay the price.

I understand your point. I’m not talking about people who are simply protesting Or exercising their rights to free speech. I’m talking about people making terroristic threats and committing hate crimes. People carrying Hezbollah flags and calling on Al Qasam to kill Jews in America. Where is the line? Do we wait for one of them to feel emboldened enough by inaction of the authorities that they kill a Jew in the street?

The students that were arrested at Columbia last week were arrested on private property at the request of the administration.

I WAS here.
I was on the other side of the barricades.
And I grew up.

These powdered, molly-coddled kids NEED to understand "CONSEQUENCES" when they happen. Looks like these kids have almost never been told "NO!" or "DO NOT do that!" in their lives.

I grew up with 2 teachers as parents, both Depression survivors with "Old Country" attitudes. I FULLY UNDERSTOOD "Consequences".
These kids need some.

I agree with everything you said, as one can clearly see from my bolded statements above, with the exception of YOUR exception to their carrying a flag that you find offensive. Sorry....anyone should be able to carry an flag they please. Anything else is a very slippery slope.....if I recall that is the exact argument used by the left when WE fly flags that they "find offensive".

Lets just make sure our indignation and response to protestors is reflective of our Constitution, and the rights we all expect, and not a reaction based on whether or not we like what they are protesting, or whether it aligns with our own political views. Theoretically, this is what makes the left different from the right.

I say this as the parent of a recent Columbia graduate, conservative, and veteran, who was often targeted by students and faculty for voicing thoughts that did not align with the majority agenda at this school. I fought for his rights while he was there, and will fight to extend those same rights to others, even if I don't agree with their ideology. Anything else is hypocrisy.

Again....see bolded statement above. This does not apply to those breaking the law or infringing upon the rights of others.

I agree with your point about the flags. Are the people waving Hezbollah flags breaking the law? No. However, Hezbollah was designated a foreign terrorist organization by the Department of Stare in 1997. If the powers that be decide to suspend students for supporting terrorist organizations or if their immigration status is looked into because of their actions, so be It.

The university's foment this action. The instructors breed protestors for such days. Then they turn them loose, and let the chaos run rampant. Then they bring in their private police force and crack down for effect, to be seen nationwide. Rinse and repeat. Useful idiots, children, brainwashed to action. As no action is action. So they must, they must organize and protest, like good little useful commies.

Omar, she doesn't have a credit card? I bet she has half a dozen, with all but no limits....poor thing.

I'll be running this radio spot next week. I'm doing two a day, on various topics related to our lives and the commies influence on things.....stuff like that. AM 1400 Penny for your thoughts. They've been showing at 9:45 and 9:55 for the most part.


Mark Thompson, Marketing the truth.

We place our children in public education, which is 100% public indoctrination. They often mold those young impressionable minds, into mush. They brainwash them, they create good little useful idiots.

Look at who’s protesting. College kids. Who taught them, their professors and TA’s. They mold them into a protesting machine. To do nothing is to act….they teach them they must get in the game, to protest, no matter the lack of understanding expressed repeatedly in their words.

So the university trains them to protest. They give them the space and exposure to protest. By the way, It's lots of fun.

So to repeat, they train them and encourage them to protest, they give them space to protest, then they call in their very own university police to suppress them…which creates more quality video and audio footage to distribute and manipulate.

It’s all at the feet of the university machine, which does not have the countries best interests at heart, let alone the students who are used over and over like a two-dollar whore at a truck stop in a blizzard. They abuse those young impressionable minds. I call them political pedophiles for a reason.

Public education is fully compromised, and has been since it’s inception. It’s doing what It was designed to do. The name of the protest machine on the U of I campus is AWARE, Anti War Anti Racist Effort. Are you AWARE? Are you a useful idiot?

It’s never too late to change. Till it is.

Protect the rights of these students to protest. Protect them from those who would harm them. Put a protective fence completely around their encampment. Make it a strong fence to protect them. Make it a permanent, impenetrable fence to protect them. Make it a high fence that cannot be scaled to protect them. Keep them and their speech safe. Do not allow anything to enter that free speech zone. Let them speak.
