Protests at Columbia University over the Israel-Hamas war continued for a fifth straight day Sunday, sparking more safety concerns for some students on campus. CBS New York's Shosh Bedrosian reports.

I am a graduate student in Japan, studying Frankfurt school, especially Walter Benjamin, and also read other Jewish philosophers like Hannah Arendt and Jacques Derrida. I am in solidarity with Columbia students who stand up and speak out for peace, justice and human rights.

Say whatever you want but here are the TRUE facts. The Jewish students respect the American flag, don’t protest the American way of life, and don’t harass their fellow classmates. The same CANNOT be said about the Palestinian protesters.

This university, was once great- and just like the city itself, it is now a disgrace.

[mackthnife]

This isn’t going to stop until stronger interventions are used, like water cannons. Water never killed anybody but it sure makes jumping around like a third world country, more taxing.

[ethancook]

It’s time for those spoiled little brats to grow up.

[atsusa]

Columbia university head should resign immediately. She is not worth to be in this position.

[digitalnomadcasa]

Defund Columbia University after November?

[chipbower]

They could have been in Gaza by now, but these snowflakes are not THAT committed.

[elroythegreat]

Encampments are the thing all over America.

[billionaireist]

Why have the students been removed? The President of the school needs to be removed for lack of leadership.

University President thought sending in the cops earlier this week to break up a peaceful protest would save her job, but it backfired.

[jsin]

Don’t they have class or have to study or something

[solvingpolitics]

No recruiter should hire a Harvard or Columbia graduate. Could you imagine the damage these people would do to your business? Not worth it.

[eliasfanta]

Many jiwish students are part of the protest and in peace with every body

[YAGO]

Take your problems to your country. Stop disrupting the peace in USA

[oldgreen]

Bring in the national guard. it is getting out of hand. what a disgrace

[damnjustassignmeone]

These students have the temerity to issue demands.

[slingblade]

Payroll isn't disturbed I'd bet.

[jonathangan]

Dad asked his kid: "Son, how's your studies? Your student loan is quite hefty." Son: "Doing good Dad, were protesting until the end of the semester or when the bombing/occupation of Gaza stops." This is a university campus, not Gaza. This will not stop future deaths as long as the hostages are with Hamas. You are damaging your future.

I'm interested to know the following;
1) What are the exact demands of the protesters? Are they demanding to stop US weapon supply to Israel?
2) How these protests make Jewish students unsafe?
