Apparently, 50 to 100 anti-Israel activists were able to fit onto the packed coach.
Once on the train activists chanted,” Uptown A teach you will see. Palestine is nearly free”.
In response to anti-Israel protesters seizing power of Hamilton Hall, an intellectual building on campus, in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Columbia University limited access to its college for the majority of the semester.

Demonstrators were captured on video crushing glass, carrying in walls, and hanging pro- Israeli flags from the windows.
Additionally, the university threatened to eliminate the students who were now occupying the building in a diplomatic manner.

On April 17, Columbia University established its first anti-Israel campsite. Numerous students were suspended the following morning, and thousands of protesters were detained.
After the college removed the second camp, a second one popped up in its place.
Anti- Israel camps have even sprouted up at Harvard University, Rutgers University, the University of California Los Angeles, Princeton University, and George Washington University, among people.
