In April 2024, Isabella Giusti, a student at Barnard College, was recorded at a Columbia University protest holding a sign that read, “Al-Qassam’s next targets,” referring to the Hamas military brigade. Her actions effectively endorse terrorism, as Hamas is a designated terrorist organization responsible for thousands of deaths, including acts of violence against Jews.
Isabela Giusti Was Arrested at Columbia University Encampment
Giusti was among 114 individuals arrested during the controversial pro-Hamas encampment at Columbia University on April 18, 2024. The encampment, known for its inflammatory rhetoric and confrontational tactics, faced widespread condemnation for its harassment of Jewish students and explicit support for Hamas and its extremist activities.
Connection to CUAD Encampment
As part of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) encampment, Giusti’s participation in events promoting antisemitic sentiment displays hatred and violence. Her actions and public statements have been interpreted as aligning with extremist positions, further fueling division on campus and beyond.
