Palestine activists protesting at Columbia University praised Hamas as demonstrators entered their second day of 'Gaza solidarity camp.'
At least five people were arrested as a brawl broke out at the school- just one day after the president was accused of running 'hotbed of anti-Semitism and hate.'
In a video from Wednesday, pro-Palestine and pro-Israel demonstrators clashed outside of the school as one person screamed: 'We are Hamas!' while a man wearing an Israel flag on his back and a yamaka on his head walked past her.
As another man filmed the angry protestor and shoved his phone in her face, she repeated: 'Yes, we are all Hamas b****!'
A female NYPD officer was heard saying: 'We just want to keep the peace,' to pro-Israel protestor.
