The coalition of 116 student groups at the Ivy League school — who call themselves “Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization” — also led the charge in the violent raid of Columbia’s Hamilton Hall last April.
Local and state leaders, including Gov. Kathy Hochul condemned the protests, calling on school officials to enforce disciplinary codes and impose “swift actions” to punish wrongdoers, a source told The Post at the time.
Khalil told a Post reporter during September’s raucous protests that anti-Israel student organizers were undeterred, and promised to ramp up their actions, including establishing future encampments.
“As long as Columbia continues to invest and to benefit from Israeli apartheid, the students will continue to resist,” Khalil said.
