Pro-Hamas Rioters Take to NYC Streets Over Arrested Antisemitic Advocate at Columbia

March 11, 2025

Thousands marched in New York City and demonstrated at the mayor’s residence Tuesday to protest the arrest and green card revocation of an anti-Israel activist for his support of terrorist organizations.

Activists gathered outside the Gracie Mansion to pressure for the release of Columbia University Apartheid Divest leading member Mahmoud Khalil, who had been arrested on Saturday evening.

Within Our Lifetime sought to disrupt Mayor Eric Adams’s Iftar dinner, with the anti-Israel group claiming that it was a “sham” and “disgraceful photo-op” that needed to be disrupted. WOL claimed on X that Adams had attempted to change the location of the dinner to hide, but “we refused to let him use our faith and traditions for political cover.”

“Republicans you can’t hide! You get rich off genocide! Columbia you can’t hide! You get rich off genocide! Democrats you can’t hide! You get rich off genocide!” activists chanted in a WOL video.

Masked activists clashed with police, according to Freedom News TV, with the protesters pushing back barricades that officers had erected.

Earlier in the day thousands marched through the city, waving Palestinian flags from the area of Washington Square Park to Broadway. The NYPD said that multiple people had been arrested, with 11 being released with summons for disorderly conduct.

“We’re in the streets with tens of thousands of New Yorkers who’ve come from all across the city to demand the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil,” said an activist in a Palestinian Youth Movement NYC Instagram video. “Mahmoud was illegally abducted by DHS agents, he is being held in ICE detention and this is a clear attempt on the part of the Trump administration to suppress the movement for Palestine and strip us of our rights of speech and due process.”

City University of New York for Palestine said on social media that several activists had been arrested during the protests, which had originally been called by National Students for Justice in Palestine to challenge the federal government’s Friday cancellation of $400 million in Grants to Columbia University over campus antisemitism.

The call to action by NSJP, WOL, and PYM did not manifest into widespread campus takeovers the groups had urged, but sporadic protests occurred outside of New York.

Stanford SJP held a walk out at White Plaza in support of Khalil, with one student being temporarily detained by local law enforcement after allegedly being misidentified as an “outside agitator.”
