Students and professors at several New York City universities plan to go on strike Monday in widespread protests against Israel on the anniversary of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack on the Jewish state by Hamas, according to reports. That's what it means.
The walkout is scheduled to begin at Columbia University around 11:30 a.m. Monday, and law enforcement officials told the Post that police and campus security are preparing to monitor and monitor the situation.
Jewish students plan to hold their own vigil in memory of the approximately 1,200 Israelis killed on October 7, 2023.
Strikes are also expected to occur at at least a dozen university campuses in the city. According to Daily News.
Columbia University became the epicenter of campus protests in the Big Apple last academic year, with anti-Israel encampments popping up on the school's main quad and frequent clashes between protesters.
The situation became so dire that security checkpoints were set up around the campus and lines stretched for blocks as students tried to get to class.
Anti-Israel groups eventually barricaded themselves inside the school building after the encampment was broken down, forcing the NYPD to storm the school building to remove the protesters.
