The walkout occurred a few days after Clinton said calling for a ceasefire with Hamas would be a gift to the terrorists.

From Fox News:

Roughly 30 students of the class of 300 abruptly stood up and left the room a half hour into the lecture on women’s involvement in peace processes hosted by Clinton and Keren Yarhi-Milo, the dean of Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), according to The New York Times.

The students reportedly were demonstrating against the school’s response to a truck that appeared near campus last week broadcasting the message “Columbia’s Leading Antisemites” and showing images of students belonging to groups that had signed a statement claiming that Israel was at fault for the October 7 massacre by Hamas.

The students said the images of their classmates that appeared on the truck had been taken from a private online platform for students at SIPA and demanded that Columbia provide “immediate legal support for affected students” and “a commitment to student safety, well-being and privacy,” the newspaper added.

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. But word then spread that the lecturers instead had departed through a side door and avoided the crowd completely, the newspaper adds.

In a message from Yarhi-Milo to students on Tuesday, she wrote “I am deeply disturbed to see that SIPA students and faculty have been subjected to doxxing campaigns.

“I unequivocally condemn such actions and I’m doing everything in my power to bring these activities to an end on our campus and online,” she continued. “To that end, I have formed a SIPA Task Force on Doxxing and Student Safety, effective immediately.”
