WHITE MAN TAUNTS PALESTINIAN, COPS IGNORE

In this 30 April video, a person identified in the original X post as a Columbia University student and as a Palestinian tried to lodge a complaint with New York police officers about a white man spitting in his ear outside of campus. That's where an encampment demanding the university divest from Israeli investments has taken place since 17 April, drawing pro-Israel protesters to the perimeter of the urban campus.

However, this video showed the offender walked scot-free.

It isn’t an isolated incident as US police forces have stood idly by as pro-Palestine supporters have reported pro-Israel 'mobs' have wreaked havoc across encampments that began popping up on university campuses. US police have had a history of doing nothing or protecting right-wingers, as seen during the 2017 'Unite the Right' rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, among other instances.

So far, police have arrested more than 2,800 protesters on more than 50 US campuses, according to an Associated Press tally.

Meanwhile, new congressional legislation has enshrined a broader definition of anti-Semitism into the US Civil Rights Act of 1964, an anti-discrimination law. While complaints of anti-Semitism on campuses have risen, Jewish students have played a significant role in these encampments and have denied these encampments are anti-Semitic.
