Jewish students at Cooper Union college in New York City apparently were reportedly forced to be barricaded into the college library by campus security today... for their own protection.

BREAKING NOW: my sources tell me several Jewish students
are currently locked in the school library as a pro Hamas rally outside of the cooper Union building learnt the Jews were afraid and sitting in the library, then brought the protest inside and are barricading all exits. Police have been called for 40 min and are afraid to get involved. Security locked the students in as they are worried they cannot protect the Jews rn.
AG Hamilton has video that purports to be from inside the library as the crowd chants from outside the locked doors banging loudly on them.

You thought they would stop with chanting?

The goal is to terrorize Jews and the only question is if we allow it. https://t.co/0EcVNaSj3l
The scene looks terrifying for these students, horrendous stuff. Hamilton also includes another video from earlier, before the protestors invaded the library looking for... what? We can only imagine what they mean by their 'resistance' being justified.

Here are the same protesters a few hours earlier chanting pro-terror slogans:

Crowd should be charged with false imprisonment/ kidnapping.

Please tell me this is somehow a misrepresentation or there's context I'm missing...

It's hard to see what context could make this less terrifying, but we'd really like to find out that this isn't exactly what it looks like as well.
But yes these rallies and reactions are definitely all about the big bad Israel and have nothing to do with people just simply hating Jews https://t.co/0jHkupt5WD

Anyone who still believes that this is only about Israel should have their head examined at this point.
If you've ever wondered how people all over Europe could have just sat by and watched during the Holocaust, stop wondering. https://t.co/zI8dP2NnVB

Imagine if white nationalist students were doing this to black students? SWAT would be called in.

The original source has since reported that the students have been safely led out of the building by security, thank God.

This is scary stuff indeed, but we all should hope that this stops at scary looking... and doesn't go farther. For all of our sakes.
