Columbia University’s alliance of anti-Israel activist groups is reinstated to Instagram after being suspended from the platform earlier this week.
Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a coalition of dozens of student groups, was suspended after posting plans for a protest targeting university trustees that included an image of a figure holding a Molotov cocktail.
That protest targeted Barnard College, the women’s college associated with Columbia. Barnard condemned “inflammatory posts with violent imagery” and stepped up security measures on campus in response.
Meta, Instagram’s parent company, did not respond to a request for comment on the suspension at the time.
Instagram is the student group’s main platform for organizing and advertising its events. The account has more than 47,000 followers.
Several other anti-Israel student and activist groups in New York City have had their accounts taken down in the past year.
