Ilhan Omar visits suspended daughter at Columbia’s ‘anti-war encampment’
Squad Rep. Ilhan Omar is seen visiting her daughter during an anti-Israel protest at Columbia University.
A video uploaded to her Instagram account shows her greeting Isra Hirsi’s friends, including one Jewish pro-Palestinian activist wearing a yarmulke.
Hirsi was one of several students suspended after more than 100 anti-Israel protesters were detained by police last week at Columbia.
I had the honor of seeing the Columbia University anti-war encampment firsthand.
Contrary to right-wing attacks, these students are joyfully protesting for peace and an end to the genocide taking place in Gaza.
I’m in awe of their bravery and courage. pic.twitter.com/yC6hcBMwCP
