Pro-Ahamas protests have revived in an important university campus, and students are asking for a stronger action of administrators.
Barnard College The first -year student Shoshana AUFZien criticized the management of the incident by the school, saying that the administration’s response lacked emergency.
“The university condemned the incident. I thought his words were a bit dazzled,” said AUFZien on Friday about “United States Writing Room. “” I’m not looking for lipstick. I want action. “
The protest broke out after several students were expelled by Anti-Israel Panflets Distribution and interrupt an Israeli history class last month. The protesters broke into a building on the Barnard campus, which is part of the Educational System of the University of Columbia and located next to the main campus of Columbia
Aufzien said that the protest caught her by surprise and that initially he did not realize how serious the situation was.
“I had no idea that there was going to be a protest,” he said. “When I walked through the doors and I saw a huge banner of ‘free Palestine’ wrapped in the landing of the second floor, I assumed that it was just a sitting. I didn’t realize how violent it would be.”

The small group of protesters, many of whom covered their faces with traditional Middle Eastern masks or Keffiyehs, occupied the building, preventing students and staff from entering. According to reports, a school employee was sent to hospital After being physically assaulted.
While the protesters accused the employees of Barnard to harass and push the students, the school administration tried to negotiate with the protesters. The conversations broke when the officials required that the protesters were removed the covers of the face as an additional discussion condition.
Aufzien expressed his frustration with the way the school handled the confrontation.
“Barnard spent hours negotiating with protesters, but the terms of the negotiations should have been immediately and present identification, or we are calling the police,” he said. “I am really disappointed because the administrator literally like the cards of the protesters delivered from the jail.”
The demonstration is the last of a series of protests from the campus throughout the country in response to the Israel-Ahamas War. Columbia University previously fought to break a pro-palestine camp on its property last year, which led to the mass arrest of more than 100 students and the waiver of the president of the University.

Aufzien warned that without serious consequences, the situation could increase as last year’s protests.
“Literally I just want to go to class. It’s mid -period season at this time,” he said. “(My parents) are paying $ 95,000 a year to be educated and I can’t even access that education. It is pathetic.”
He also emphasized the severity of protesters’ actions.
