Columbia University Suspends Student Organizations Over Israel-Hamas Conflict Protests

In a move on Friday that has sparked debates over the balance of free speech and safety on college campuses, Columbia University announced the suspension of two student organizations , Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace .

The university's action follows a walkout by hundreds of Columbia students who participated in a protest organized by SJP and JVP, urging the U.S. government to support a cease-fire in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. Both organizations have a national presence and are known for organizing contentious protests against the Israeli and U.S. governments.

JVP, describing itself as a Jewish anti-Zionist organization, has faced accusations of antisemitism, with its political position opposing the existence of the Israeli state. Critics argue that this stance is inherently antisemitic.
