Students at Columbia University set up a new anti-Israel encampment on campus Friday night as the school is in the middle of hosting alumni weekend.
The defiant demonstrators — members of Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine — set up camp on the Manhattan campus’ south lawns alongside a giant white party tent already in place for the alumni event festivities that conclude tomorrow.
“We’re back bitches,” declared one sign the protesters put up, video from the New York Times shows.
Another banner redesigned the area — for the third time — a “Liberated Zone.”
Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine confirmed the latest encampment at the Ivy League school in a Friday night social media post.
The Post has reached out to the university for comment.
Columbia’s alumni weekend kicked off on Thursday with events scheduled through Sunday.
On April 30, NYPD officers swarmed Columbia’s campus and cleared out the encampment as well as the university’s Hamilton Hall, which had been taken over by rogue rioters. More than 100 people were arrested — many of them not affiliated with the university.
A little over a week earlier, another 100 protesters were hauled away by police as they dismantled the first campus encampment — but demonstrators returned the following day.
Elsewhere in the Big Apple on Friday, hundreds of anti-Israel protesters stormed the Brooklyn Museum, flying a banner from the top of the building and damaging artwork in the process. Several people were seen being taken into custody.
Earlier in the day hundreds of New York City high school students walked out of school and staged a pro-Palestinian protest outside of the Department of Education headquarters t the Tweed Courthouse in Lower Manhattan.
