NYU students jump on anti-Israel tent camp bandwagon, chant antisemitic, anti-cop phrases
New York University students are jumping on the anti-Israel tent camp bandwagon.
The downtown Manhattan university has become the latest pricey college to see students set up encampments on campus as they protest Israel and the war in the Gaza Strip.
The protesters made camp across NYU’s Stern School of Business in Manhattan on Monday morning as they called on the school to divest from the Jewish state and push for an end to its campaign across the Palestinian enclave.
The students were seen waving Palestinian flags on the streets and sidewalks, with others hanging up signs to “Honor the Martyrs of Palestine.”
Some students also proudly displayed another sign reading, “We Are All SJP,” referencing the Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine organization leading its own encampment protest at the Ivy League university on 116th Street.
By Monday afternoon, protesters were seen scaling the barricades placed around the encampment to join the protest in front of the business school.
The demonstrators could be heard shouting, “Let them in,” as a group hopped on top of the barrier, including a dog, and cheered to lead the protests.
“Palestine will be free,” the protesters shouted as they helped others over the barricade, with others yelling, “Not another knuckle, not another dime,” for Israeli aid.
“The barricade is open, you don’t need to jump over the wall,” another protester could be heard saying, instructing others to join in from the side.
Video footage obtained by Fox NewsDigital showed demonstrators also chanting, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which the Anti-Defamation League describes as antisemitic.
Another chant was directed at NYPD cops.
“No justice, no peace, F—k these racist a—police,” protesters screamed, according to Fox News.
The NYU protesters, united under the NYU Palestine Solidarity Coalition, are demanding that the university disclose and divest “its finances and endowment from weapons manufacturers and companies with an interest in the Israeli occupation.”
They are also calling on the school to shut down its campus in Tel Aviv, which allows students to study politics, history and religion in the Jewish state.
NYU’s business school — which is named after Jewish billionaire Leonard N. Stern, whose family fled Germany in the 1920s — costs more than $60,000 per year, with another $18,000 for housing, according to the school’s website.
Along with the demands related to the war, the students are asking that “racist” NYPD cops, who they claim are trained by the Israeli military, be kicked off campus.
“NYU must disclose its relationship with NYPD and remove their standing presence from campus,” the protesters wrote in their list of demands.
The fourth and final demand calls on the school to provide “full amnesty” to the students and faculty members who have been penalized for their recent activism.
Last October, first-year Hafiza Khalique was suspended after being identified in a viral video of three individuals ripping down posters of Israeli hostages of Hamas at an NYU building.
The hostages were captured during the brutal Oct. 7 massacre in southern Israel, which saw 1,200 people killed and more than 240 people dragged into Gaza against their will.
NYU did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The demonstration at NYU is the latest to spring up in Manhattan after students at the New School hijacked a university lobby on Sunday to set up its own “Liberty Zone” at the Union Square campus.
Both demonstrations were started in solidarity with the massive protest ongoing at Columbia, which was raided last week by NYPD cops in riot gear who arrested more than 100 protesters.
Students, however, returned and rebuilt the Columbia encampment less than 24 hours later.
