A group of anti-Israel students protesters Columbia University On Saturday, the Trump government’s decision criticized to dissolve more than $ 400 million in federal subsidies at the university about its alleged failures to tackle anti -Semitism on campus during demonstrations in the afterpath of Hamas’ on October 7, 2023, attack on Israël.
The student group, Columbia University Apartheid, responded on social media on social media for the first time since the announcement of the decision of the administration, which struck the group as a “transparent shock tactics”.
“The announcement of the Trump administration that it is planning to cancel $ 400 million in federal subsidies and contracts to Columbia is a transparent shock tactics,” the group wrote on an Instagram show performance. “The decision has nothing to do with the manufactured accusations of anti -Semitism that they use as a thin coverage to lower the financing.”
“The federal government again tries to extend the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza and the Western Jordoever by the US by the indignation of the US in genocide in genocide in the decolonial student protesters who undoubtedly the post-it-allched,” went further.

The group said that the last two months of a “hack -lane” by President Donald Trump And his senior adviser Elon Musk to “destroy public institutions” has made it clear that the billionaires in the government systematically dismantle every institution that does not enrich them privately. “
The interim president of the university, Katrina Armstrong, responded on Friday to Trump’s financing reduction by saying that the university is “very serious” and is willing to work with the federal government on its “legitimate worries”.
“When I accepted the role of interim president in August 2024, I knew that Columbia needed a reset of the previous year and the chaos of camps and protests on our campus,” Armstrong wrote. “The university also had to recognize the damage and repair to our Jewish students, who were the target, harassed and felt unsafe or undesirable on our campus last spring.”

“Columbia University has bent back to saturate the Zionist Death Machine – his own students (sic) brutalize their own students, who award former IOF (Israel occupation power) soldiers thousands of dollars after attacking demonstrators, the surveillance and closing of the Harlem community – was it worth it?” The group wrote in the caption of the Instagram Post.
“The institution will never keep us safe,” it went on. “These cuts will not hurt the bags of Armstrong, instead our most marginalized communities will be the majority of the impact. It is up to us.”
The Social Media Post contained various slides, including one that said: “Zionists will never love you” and another who called on “organized resistance to clear injustice”.
