Hey the 1960s call they want their protest back LOL!
Demonstrators have occupied a campus building at prestigious Columbia University in New York, amid a growing pro-Palestinian protest movement across the US against the Israel's military operation in Gaza.
Student protesters entered Hamilton Hall and barricaded its doors with furniture, hanging a "Free Palestine" banner from a window. The hall was among the Columbia University buildings occupied by students protesting against the war in Vietnam back in the 1960s.
Students said they renamed the hall "Hind's hall," after a 6-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in Gaza.
Protesters are calling for the university's divestment of all financial holdings linked to Israel, alongside other demands. Protesters on Tuesday defied a deadline to end their sit-in, after which the university said it would suspend students.
