Columbia University students walked out of Hillary Clinton's class to protest how the school responded to backlash surrounding an anti-Israel statement.
Dozens of Columbia University students staged a walkout from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's class there on Wednesday in protest of the school’s handling of a truck seen near campus displaying the images of students belonging to groups who signed an anti-Israel statement, a report says.
Clinton herself has expressed support for the state of Israel and recently has rejected calls for a ceasefire. There also were dozens of other protesters who gathered near the lobby of the building where the walkout was unfolding, according to the New York Times. When the class ended, the demonstrators fell silent, expecting Clinton and the dean to walk past them while leaving.
