Officials at Columbia University, facing surging tensions on campus that raised safety concerns, have announced all classes will be virtual on Monday as Passover begins.

Columbia President Minouche Shafik said in a statement the decision was made to “deescalate the rancor and give us all a chance to consider next steps.”

The move underscores how tense the situation has become at the Ivy League school and the enormous challenge facing Shafik to get the situation under control.

    I’m actually shocked to have someone say theyve seen no antisemitism in these protests.

    Literally you.

    Is this really your exit strategy here? Instead of just admitting you have no evidence of antisemitism at the protests you’re just going to keep pretending I’m changing the subject by talking about the protests instead of your vague anecdotes?

    Unbelievable the mental contortions zionist apologists will put themselves in when called out.

    Just be honest with yourself. Like, holy christ. The world will not end.

      No, I’m going to keep pointing out that you are blatantly and patently not debating in good faith. I’m happy to actually stick to the point, but if you are just going to lie about what I said, and make no amends when I correct you, you’ve made your intentions clear.

      So if you want to be honest, feel free. I’ll be here.
