Columbia University Protester on Jewish Students Saying that They Don’t Feel Safe: ‘Really False Narrative’

Jones: “How do you feel about them taking over the building right now?”
PRO-Palestine PROTESTER: “I think that their cause is a just cause, and I hope that the administration really hears their demands, I think their just demands.”
Jones: “Do you feel like it was right to hold three of the janitor workers hostage with inside of the building?”
PRO-Palestine PROTESTER: “I think that’s a really false narrative.”
Jones: “That’s what they — the janitors are saying that they weren’t allowed to leave.”
PRO-Palestine PROTESTER: “I think that’s a really fast narrative:”
Jones: “Even if the janitors are saying that, you’re saying that that’s not true?”
PRO-Palestine PROTESTER: “I think that it’s a really false narrative that students took anyone hostage.”
Jones: “How do you feel about some of the Jewish students saying that they don’t feel safe here on campus?”
PRO-Palestine PROTESTER: “I think that this is also really false narrative that’s being promoted.”
Jones: “Do you think that October 7th attack that happened is a false narrative? Do you believe that some of the women were raped?”
PRO-Palestine PROTESTER: “My colleague just came back on. One moment. Can you get out of my face, please?”
Jones: “So this is what you see at these protests. Once you get into the nitty-gritty of what happened on October 7th, the rape of women, what’s happening there, they deny what happened. As you know, that is actually factual now, that the janitorial workers were blocked inside of the building. And any time you bring that up, the Jewish cause, the Jewish people, the kids that feel unsafe on campus, they deny the reality of it, guys.”
