Several Jewish students were locked in a library to ensure their safety while a group of pro-Hamas demonstrators roamed the campus and even surrounded the room where the Jews were sheltering while banging on the windows and shouting "free Palestine." Faced with this harassment, the young people had to be evacuated through tunnels to avoid any potential harm.

They claim that the police did not want to intervene

The warning was given by the former Director of Communications at the Israeli Consulate in New York, Jake Novak. In a post on Twitter, Novak denounced the situation and noted that, although she was alerted, the police did not want to get involved.

My sources tell me several Jewish students of Cooper Union are currently locked in the school library as a pro Hamas rally outside of the cooper Union building learnt the Jews were afraid and sitting in the library, then brought the protest inside and are barricading all exits. Police have been called for 40 min and are afraid to get involved. Security locked the students in as they are worried they cannot protect the Jews.

After several hours of anguish, the Jewish students were able to leave the building safely through tunnels to avoid any incidents with the protesters.

Cooper Union denies incidents

However, as reported by Fox News, Cooper Union sources deny the incidents: "The Library was closed for approximately 20 minutes while student protesters moved through our building," the official said. "Some students who were previously in the library remained during this time. All students have already dispersed."
