Student protesters block the entrance of Hamilton Hall at Columbia University after taking over it on Tuesday, April 30, 2024 in New York .As New York student demonstrators continue to protest Israel’s war in Gaza, their latest tactics have an echo of the past.

This time around, as they hung a “Free Palestine” banner from a window, the students renamed Hamilton Hall as “Hind’s Hall,” in tribute to Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. Dozens of Columbia students and community members have barricaded themselves inside the Hamilton building to protest the University’s complicity in the genocidal war on Gaza. Hundreds of students are picketing outside the building as well as the encampment.on social media that Hamilton Hall had been taken over by “an autonomous group,” and that the protesters planned to stay at the hall until the university agreed to stop investing in companies that do business in Israel.

Against the backdrop of Republican calls for a more forceful crackdown on the Columbia University protests, the White House denounced what it described as “the wrong approach.”
