US House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, added his name to those demanding Columbia University President Minouche Shafik's resignation on Wednesday (April 24), and traveled to Manhattan to meet with Jewish students attending Columbia. Dozens of Columbia University Apartheid Divest members have camped out on a lawn at the centre of the Manhattan campus for the past week, calling on the university to end its investments in companies that support or profit from Israel's military actions in the occupied Palestinian territories. Columbia says the encampment violates school rules and was creating strife on campus. "If this is not contained quickly and if these threats and intimidation are not stopped, there is an appropriate time for the National Guard," Johnson said during his speech, which was drowned out by booing Columbia students and chants of “Mike, you suck!” #usa #israel #hamas #gaza #columbiauniversity #protest #palestine n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
