Pro-Palestinian protesters staged a sit-in at Barnard College's Milstein Library, demanding the reinstatement of expelled students.
The demonstration escalated when a bomb threat prompted police to evacuate the building. Authorities later determined the threat was fake, but several protesters were arrested as the NYPD cleared the area. The protest is part of ongoing campus activism related to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
The incident highlights growing tensions over free speech and student activism in U.S. colleges.

Maybe if these so-called "activists" spent more time studying instead of causing chaos, they wouldn't need to resort to threats and disruptions.
So let me get this straight—peaceful protesters demanding justice get arrested, but the person who made the fake bomb threat walks free? This is just another example of how the state criminalizes dissent while ignoring real threats. Students have every right to protest genocide, and cracking down on them like this is pure authoritarianism.
It’s ridiculous how peaceful protesters standing up for Palestinian rights keep getting arrested while the real violence of occupation goes unchecked. The fake bomb threat was just an excuse to silence dissent and intimidate students who refuse to stay quiet.
The government cracking down on peaceful protests is always a problem, but making bomb threats isn’t free speech—it’s just giving the state more excuses to trample civil liberties.
