Two janitors at Columbia University have filed a lawsuit against more than 40 students who allegedly assaulted them and held them hostage during a pro-Palestinian protest that occupied Hamilton Hall last year. The workers reported being locked inside the building, physically attacked, and subjected to antisemitic slurs such as "Jew-lovers" and "Zionists." The incident has drawn attention to broader concerns about intimidation and antisemitism on university campuses, with reports of chants like "No Zionists allowed" and "We are Hamas" during protests. Leaked documents suggest some campus protests may be orchestrated by external groups, raising questions about the nature of such unrest. The lawsuit and related commentary highlight ongoing tensions at institutions including Columbia University, Sciences Po Strasbourg, and Tolbiac, where faculty and staff have also faced intimidation. The Columbia janitors’ case has been described as reminiscent of historical hate group tactics, underscoring the severity of the alleged harassment during the Hamilton Hall occupation.
