Columbia University Refuses to Divest From Israel
As activists continue to harass Jewish students and obstruct their college, Columbia University’s president has refused to capitulate to their key demand.
From The Daily Wire. Columbia University will not divest from Israel, a top official at the Ivy League school said on Monday, rejecting a key demand of pro-Palestinian protesters who have set up camp at the New York City campus over the past couple of weeks.
Discuss issues you care about with other intercessors.
In a statement posted on the university’s website, Columbia University President Minouche Shafik said that talks between a small group of academic leaders and student organizers that began last week had broken down.
“Regretfully, we were not able to come to an agreement,” Shafik said, noting that the negotiators had sought a “path that would result in the dismantling of the encampment and adherence to University policies going forward.” …
Reports of anti-Semitic harassment led a campus rabbi to warn Jewish students to go home for safety. As efforts to uproot tents and detain protesters failed to quell the demonstrations, Colombia shifted to remote learning and hybrid classes at the main campus.
Columbia is still planning on holding a commencement — scheduled for May 15 — as Shafik said, “We owe it to all of our graduates and their loved ones to honor their achievement.” …

Father of lights, of all kindness and goodness and all that is true and right, I implore You to save the Muslims, the Islamists here in our country and around the world, especially those in high places with power and influence. Re-establish the universities to their original purpose for which they were founded: to train ministers of the gospel so that the gospel would be spread in our cities and country and around the world. Let Thy Kingdom come and Thy will be done. Amen.
Thank you Poppa God! Thank you Jesus, Son of HaShem!
Thank you for giving Shafik wisdom and courage to continue to support Israel, go to zoom classes and honor those hard sworking students who will graduate with a ceremony, for not caving to foolish, even dangerous demands of the misguided lawbreakers camped out on campus. Please bind the deceiving spirits that have captivated so many across the world and pour out Your Holy Spirit, of Love, Light, Life, to give truth and sound mind and humility to confess Jesus as Messiah. We don’t know how that could be done but we look to You Lord, cause it’s not too hard for You! Maranatha King Jesus❣️
Some trust in chariots and some in horses but we praise the name of Adonai our God. They will crumple and fall but we will arise and stand erect. Psalm 20
Dear Heavenly Father, we trust in You alone and praise You over this commencement. May these who intend good stand and may ever plan for harm, crumble and fall. Hear our prayers Lord for every campus under siege. Hear our prayers Lord for every deceived heart.. send Your help. I praise You Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I praise You today over this need and all needs. I will praise You today, tomorrow and every day of my life for only You can save us. I praise You in the Name of Jesus Christ, Messiah to all. Amen
