Anti-Israel protesters at Barnard College arrested after mob turns violent
More protests broke out on Thursday at New York City’s Barnard College after a group of more than 50 anti-Israel agitators took over a building on campus the day before.
The NYPD made several arrests after the protests reignited, with around 100 anti-Israel demonstrators gathering in front of the entrance to Barnard, once again wearing masks and keffiyehs and chanting, “Free Palestine.”
Tension rose and became more chaotic as protesters marched from Barnard to CUNY’s City College campus, to protest outside Gov. Kathy Hochul’s event at CUNY, which was canceled due to the anticipated protest.
The protesters were heard chanting criticisms of Hochul and “NYPD KKK,” and tried to breach police barricades and get close to officers’ faces.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., spoke out against the protests.
“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” Johnson wrote in a post on X.
“Pro-Hamas mobs have NO place on our college campuses. Barnard College & Columbia University must put an end to the antisemitic chaos on campus.”
Robin Levine, Barnard’s vice president for strategic communications, confirmed that a faculty member was injured during Wednesday’s protest and sent to the hospital, but did not offer further details.
“They encouraged others to enter campus without identification, showing blatant disregard for the safety of our community,” Levine said in a previous statement.
The school warned that if the students were not gone by 9:30 p.m., officials would be forced to take “additional, necessary measures to protect our campus.”

The protesters began leaving the building by 11 p.m., according to reports by FOX 5 New York.
The students were protesting the expulsion of two students who stormed a Columbia University classroom in January and allegedly threw around flyers filled with hateful speech.

The account also posted a list of demands accompanied by “WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL OUR DEMANDS ARE MET. FREE PALESTINE.”
The demands include an “immediate reversal of the two Barnard students’ expulsions” and “amnesty for all students disciplined for pro-Palestine action or thought. Drop all the charges now!”
They also requested a public meeting with Dean Leslie Grinage and President Laura Rosenbury, and the abolition of the “corrupt Barnard disciplinary process,” demanding complete transparency for current, past and future disciplinary proceedings.
The students vowed that they will continue to disrupt the campus until these demands are met.

Will the Boston Red Sox cut ties with Aroldis Chapman before the 2026 Major League Baseball trade deadline?
That’s going to be the biggest question hanging over the organization ahead of the deadline if the Red Sox aren’t able to fully turn their season around. After taking down the New York Yankees on Friday, Boston has a 27-35 record. The Red Sox’s contest against the Yankees was postponed on Saturday and the two American League East rivals will conclude their brief series at Yankee Stadium on Sunday.
Boston clearly has a lot of work to do right now. With the club currently struggling in the standings, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale wrote that Chapman is “expected” to join his eighth different team this summer and get moved.
What Will Boston Do With Aroldis Chapman?
“Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman is expected to join his eighth different team, and potentially be in the postseason with his sixth different team,” Nightengale wrote. “He is the top reliever available on every contender’s target list, converting 28 consecutive saves dating back to last season, one shy of his career record.”
If the Red Sox are eight games below .500 at the beginning of August, like they are now, then this idea unfortunately, would make sense. But it’s important to note that on Saturday, The Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey reported that Boston has fielded calls on Chapman, Justin Slaten, and Garrett Whitlock but has told teams that the trio currently isn’t available. The idea of Chapman being moved is fully contingent on whether the Red Sox can make progress in the standings over the next two months.
Right now, the Red Sox are just three games out of an American League Wild Card spot, so it’s not the craziest idea in the world to believe they can make up some ground here. Plus, let’s not forget that some point Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony will be able to return.
So, right now, the Red Sox are in a tough spot, which gives some life to Nightengale’s point, but it’s still a bit too early to fully jump to conclusions. If the Red Sox can go on a little run, then all of a sudden the perception will shift around Boston. If not, then the club will end up getting a haul in exchange for Chapman if the club actually does end up moving him before the deadline.
