Anti-Israel Activists Seize Milstein Library at Barnard College

By Luke Tress

Police cleared anti-Israel protesters from the area of a library at New York’s Barnard Campus on Wednesday after a raucous demonstration and a bomb threat, the latest in a series of escalating incidents on the campus. A group of protesters entered Barnard’s Milstein Library, where they chanted anti-Israel slogans, waved Palestinian flags, beat a drum and carried an effigy of the college president. Jewish students at the scene shared photos showing the protesters distributed pamphlets by the “Hamas media office,” photos of the late Hezbollah terror chief Hassan Nasrallah, and wrote “Death to America” in the library guest book.
