During a raid on a pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia University, NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry and the Deputy Commissioner of Operations discovered various items including gas masks, knives, and a 'Death to America' pamphlet. Additionally, a book titled 'Terrorism: A Very Short Introduction' by a British historian was highlighted by the NYPD as potentially radicalizing students. This book, however, is an academic text published by Oxford University Press, focusing on the history of terrorism. The NYPD's portrayal of the book and other items found during the Columbia pro-Palestinian protest has sparked discussions on the nature of the protest and the implications of such educational materials.
