Police arresting students. Helicopters buzzing over New York City. Demonstrators shouting and lawmakers condemning university officials. Videos of the campus protests, shared widely on TikTok, X and elsewhere, are spreading on social media and show the most visceral aspects of the demonstrations. Much like the war in the Middle East itself, the images can inform and inflame viewers — and serve as a reminder that in the modern age, videos spread on social media can shape public opinion.
The New York City Police Department arrested more than 100 Columbia students on Thursday and 120 NYU students on Monday after receiving permission from university leaders. ProtestsLawmakers from both sides of the aisle have spoken out about the unrest on Columbia’s campus, and all New York House Republicans are among those calling for Columbia President Minouche Shafik’s resignation.
Former President Donald Trump condemned the pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia’s campus on Tuesday, saying it’s a “disgrace to our country.”Colleges in about a dozen states have seen pro-Palestinian student protests within the past week, from the East Coast at Yale University, Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to the west at California State Polytechnic at Humboldt and to the middle of the country at the University of Minnesota.
