LOOK AHEAD INTO YOUR WEEKEND. IT’S COMING UP. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU MICHELLE. INVESTIGATORS IN HIGH POINT ARE LOOKING INTO THE CAUSE OF A HOUSE FIRE. IT BROKE OUT YESTERDAY ON EVERETT LANE. FIREFIGHTERS ARRIVED ON THE SCENE, SAW SMOKE AND FLAMES POURING FROM THE HOME. NOW, NO ONE WAS INSIDE AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. TENSIONS ARE RAMPING UP ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES NATIONWIDE AS DEMONSTRATORS CONTINUE PROTESTING THE ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR. PRO PALESTINIAN ENCAMPMENTS POPPING UP NOT JUST ON IVY LEAGUE CAMPUSES, BUT COLLEGES LIKE NYU, MIT AND MICHIGAN. AS ERIN MCLAUGHLIN REPORTS, THE INCREASINGLY HEATED PROTESTS RAISING QUESTIONS ABOUT HATE SPEECH ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES. SHAME ON YOU. OVERNIGHT, A TENSE SCENE AT NEW YORK UNIVERSITY AFTER PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTEST WERE FORCED TO LEAVE A CAMPUS PLAZA FOR. NY PD MOVING IN WITH RIOT GEAR, POLICE BREAKING DOWN ENCAMPMENTS AS A SEA OF PROTESTERS MARCHED THROUGH THE CITY STREETS JOHNSTON IT COMES AS TENSIONS FLARE AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, NOW ENTERING ITS SEVENTH CONSECUTIVE DAY OF PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTESTS. PALESTINE, WITH THE SCHOOL ANNOUNCING MAIN CAMPUS CLASSES WILL BE HYBRID UNTIL THE END OF THE SEMESTER, STATING SAFETY IS OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY. AFTER THE UNIVERSITY’S PRESIDENT’S CALL TO DE-ESCALATE THE RANCOR, A MASSIVE NYPD PRESENCE WAS AROUND THE CAMPUS AS A GROWING NUMBER OF JEWISH STUDENTS REPORT FEELING UNSAFE. IT IS COMPLETE ANARCHY. STUDENTS LIKE ANDREW STEIN, WHO SAYS HE WAS ON CAMPUS LATE SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A PRO ISRAEL COUNTER-PROTEST, BUT LEFT TERRIFIED BY AN ANGRY MOB. THEY STARTED SAYING IN ARABIC, A HAMAS. HAMAS, OUR BELOVED POLICE BOMB TEL AVIV, STEIN SAYS. THIS VIDEO SHOWS HIM BEING FOLLOWED OFF CAMPUS. ME AND MY FRIEND HAD WATER POURED LIKE PHYSICALLY POURED IN OUR FACE AT THE PRO PALESTINIAN ENCAMPMENT IN THE HEART OF THE UNIVERSITY CITY. HEATED CONFRONTATIONS GO BACK TO POLAND IS NOT ANTI-ZIONISM. THAT IS ANTI-SEMITISM. AND THAT WAS SAID THE PRO-PALESTINIAN STUDENTS WE SPOKE TO SAY THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF ANY ANTI-SEMITISM ON CAMPUS SATURDAY NIGHT. ANYONE WHO MAKES ANY THREAT TO ANY JEWISH STUDENT, WE OPPOSE YOU. WE DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH YOU. PATRIOTS OWNER AND JEWISH ALUM ROBERT KRAFT, A MAJOR DONOR ANNOUNCING HE IS PULLING HIS SUPPORT UNTIL CORRECTIVE ACTION IS TAKEN. THAT TENSION NOW SPREADING TO OTHER CAMPUSES NATIONWIDE AND IN CALIFORNIA, STUDENTS SETTING UP ENCAMPMENTS AT BERKELEY AND POLICE MOVING IN AT CAL POLY, HUMBOLDT PROTESTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, HARVARD YARD CLOSING THIS WEEK, AND AT YALE UNIVERSITY, 45 STUDENTS WERE ARRESTED MONDAY AND LATER RELEASED AFTER THEY’D REFUSED TO LEAVE THEIR ENCAMPMENT AT THE CAMPUS CENTER. HERE WE WERE JUST EXERCISING OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH. MEANWHILE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY’S PRESIDENT IS FACING CENSURE, DRAFTED BY THE SCHOOL’S PROFESSORS. THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS ACCUSED PRESIDENT SHAFIQ OF VIOLATING THE REQUIREMENTS OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM AND STUDENTS RIGHTS. THE RESOLUTION STATES. SHE BROUGHT ARMED POLICE ONTO CAMPUS TO DEAL WITH THE UNREST. THE ASSOCIATION IS NOT CALLING FOR HER RESIGNATION. THEY JUST WANT HER TO RECOMMIT TO THE CORE VALUES OF THE UNIVERSITY. NORTH CAROLINA SENATOR THOM TILLIS IS REACTING TO THE PROTESTS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. IN A POST ON EX, SENATOR TILLIS WROTE IN PART, QUOTE, THIS KIND OF HATRED TOWARDS THE JEWISH COMMUNITY ON OUR COLLEGE CAMPUSES IS DISGUSTING AND REPREHENSIBLE.
