Columbia University students say they are 'fighting for the total eradication of western civilization'

Columbia University students that joined together last year to protest Israel and advocate for the terrorists that massacred 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, kidnapping over 200, have announced that they are actually fighting for the "total eradication of western civilization." The group is called Columbia University Apartheid Divest and they spearheaded the Gaza camp protests and occupation at Columbia during the last school year.

In a post supporting revolution in Bangladesh, where students have been protesting—and dying— the "militants of Hind's Hall" say that in the continuation of their "fight for Palestine," they "draw inspiration from every struggle for liberation across the globe." These struggles, they say, include the "student protesters of Bangladesh."



"We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization," the American students studying in an Ivy League school in the City of New York state. "We stand in full solidarity with every movement for liberation in the Global South. Our Intifada is an internationalist one—we are fighting for nothing less than the liberation of all people. We reject every genocidal, eugenicist regime that seeks to undermine the personhood of the colonized.

"As the fascism ingrained in the American consciousness becomes ever more explicit and irrefutable, we seek community and instruction from militants in the Global South, who have been on the frontlines in the fight against tyranny and domination which undergird the imperialist world order."

They write further that "As we, the militants of Hind’s Hall, continue our fight for Palestine from within the belly of the beast, we draw inspiration not only from the Palestinian resistance but from every struggle for liberation across the globe. This week, we are inspired by the student protesters of Bangladesh as they wage a People’s Biplob (Revolution) against the autocratic Awami League—a party that has retained absolute power under prime minister Sheikh Hesina since 2009."

The students of Bangladesh were initially protesting for the elimination of a quota system that required 30 percent of jobs to be reserved for veterans. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina implemented curfews and military patrols, leading to deadly riots. That leader fled the country and a new one was put in place as an interim leader. More than 300 have died in riots since mid-July and rioters set the state-run television station on fire. The Columbia students vowed to learn from the Bengali protesters.

"The People’s Biplob in Bangladesh is a crucial piece of the universal struggle against American imperialism," Columbia students write. "It is the Intifada. And just as the Palestinian resistance escalated the Intifada on October 7th, it is now the people of Bangladesh who are escalating the global battle for liberation."

During the 2023-24 school year, agitators and protesters at Columbia University staged a Gaza Camp and takeover of administration building Hamilton Hall. Eventually, the occupation of the building had to be cleared by law enforcement, at the discretion of the school administrators. Among those protesters was the daughter of Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, Isra Hirsi, a Barnard student. Omar joined the protesters on campus and aided them in their cause.
