Takeover at Columbia University is 'wrong' White House says

Students with the Gaza solidarity encampment block the entrance of Hamilton Hall at Columbia University after taking over it on Tuesday, April 30, 2024 in New York. Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine called for mobilization close to midnight. Once inside, protesters reportedly hung banners out of windows that read, "Free Palestine" and "intifada," as well as barricading doors with furniture.

President Biden has stood against repugnant, Antisemitic smears and violent rhetoric his entire life. He condemns the use of the term “intifada,” as he has the other tragic and dangerous hate speech displayed in recent days. President Biden respects the right to free expression, but protests must be peaceful and lawful. Forcibly taking over buildings is not peaceful – it is wrong. And hate speech and hate symbols have no place in America," stated Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates.

On Monday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said universities have to decide if they allow police on its campuses.
