Columbia students receive manual for anti-Israel violence

A disturbing manual for anti-Israel activists is reportedly being shared among students at Columbia University. This 14-page document offers detailed instructions on how to create chaos and commit acts of vandalism. The manual, found on a radical website called Unity of Fields, includes various tactics for causing destruction. It advises readers to buy equipment like sledgehammers with cash and to block water pipes with concrete to create disruptions. It also suggests ways to avoid detection by law enforcement, such as conducting reconnaissance on targets. The guide promotes forming small groups, or "cells," to coordinate actions and includes specific tactics for vandalism. It describes methods like smashing windows and breaking into buildings. Recommendations also include disguising one’s appearance and using tools to obscure digital trails. Columbia University has not commented on the situation. The university has experienced a rise in anti-Israel protests, leading to arrests in the past year. The identity of those sharing the manual and their intentions remain unclear. The publication highlights concerns about escalating tensions and the potential for violent actions on campus.
