“The people at the pro-Hamas rally could see the Jewish students through the @cooperunion NYC glass windows. They were banging on the windows in this video. That’s when they decided to try to get into the cafeteria (1st video) 2/3″…”This is the pro-Hamas rally calling for an intifada revolution. My source told me they also chanted“Free Palestine from the river to the sea” – which means to annihilate Israel and the Jews. @cooperunion NYC”

“Just spoke with the Uncle of one of the Jewish students barricaded in the Cooper Union Library by the Hamas Terrorists, His nephew refused to go out through the tunnels- he was led out the front door by a huge number of NYPD surrounded by the Hamas thugs.”

Viral message, “BREAKING NOW: my sources tell me several Jewish students @cooperunion 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.”
