Demonstrators told the media on Tuesday they want Columbia University to divest from Israel.
NEW YORK -- Pro-Palestinian demonstrators say they want Columbia University to cut financial ties with Israel .Some protesters who attend Barnard College held a news conference Tuesday in front of Columbia President Minouche Shafik's home to drive home the point.'I speak during Passover to talk about bravery of our people,' a student named Soph said. 'When I was marched out of encampment in zip ties, I didn't flinch. I can't remain complacent.
Students who opted to attend in-person Tuesday said the situation is making it difficult to focus on their upcoming exams.'It is pretty disheartening to see all this on campus, I will say. I think a lot of people are misguided. And at the same time, I'm kind of confused because, I mean, being here at Columbia, I mean I have so much work and I know a lot of these students do, as well,' junior Michael D'Agostino said.
