Columbia University is facing renewed criticism for its handling of anti-Israel protests, with some students and faculty calling for action against agitators who have disrupted events and intimidated opponents. The latest incident occurred during a talk by Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren, which was disrupted by protesters who shouted down the speaker and prevented him from delivering his remarks. University officials have been criticized for not doing enough to protect free speech and ensure the safety of students with opposing viewpoints.
