“We Will Honor All the Martyrs”: Hamas Supporters at Columbia Smash Windows, Take Control of Hamilton Hall in Overnight Attack

Dozens of Hamas supporters who have been staging a campus 'occupy protest' against Israel and the United States smashed windows and stormed the building apparently unimpeded by law enforcement while hundreds more gathered outside the building to secure the entrances.

Hamilton Hall has been the sight of protest actions, such as a 1985 protest calling for divestment from South Africa.

Occupied: Smashing windows to secure the door with a u-lock: Doors being blocked: A couple students intervened to prevent a door being blocked by protesters.

No police after two hours: The peaceful counter-protesting students were assaulted by the mob: Same chant as at GWU riot last night: The student newspaper Columbia Spectator is doing a good job posting updates: At around 1:28 a.m., protesters draped a Palestinian flag from a window on the third floor.

Protesters unfurled a banner from the leftmost side of Hamilton, reading "Gaza Calls Columbia Falls," at around 1:38 a.m. From the Hamilton balcony, protesters unfurled another banner at around 1:40 a.m., reading "Hind's Hall." The name refers to Hind Rajab, a six-year-old Palestinian who was killed by the Israeli military in Gaza on Jan. 29.

"We will honor all the martyrs, all the children, sons, and daughters." The protesters on the balcony led several call-and-response chants with those gathered outside the building.

Protesters chanted "Columbia, you will see, Palestine is almost free" and "This building is now liberated." Following the chants, the protesters announced that they would occupy Hamilton until "Columbia meets every one of our demands." At around 1:56 a.m., protesters draped another banner from the top of the building's facade that read "Intifada." Protesters began chanting "No divestment, no commencement" at around 2:23 a.m. Minutes later, protesters unfurled a fourth banner which read "Student Intifada" from a Hamilton window facing the Sundial.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

  Multiple U.S. states governed by Republicans are withdrawing state funds from BlackRock's management, as they disapprove of the ESG investment policies of the world's top asset manager, the Financial Times reports. In recent weeks, Louisiana, South Carolina, Utah, and Arkansas have announced they would divest funds from...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
