Columbia Student investigated for Terror attack plotting, ties to Hamas, NY Post

So my reading of this thread is that Lerner was wrong and everyone else was correct. Correct?

 

How is that? Are you kidding or pretending?
Articles show the opposite, they reveal the terrorist assaulted people on the Columbia Un campus, and also on other locations in NY as well, he plotted another terrorist attack on a student at Clumbia, participated in protests and in contact with Hamas.
You can read what was found in his home as well.
Thanks to the action of our law enforcement a terrorist attack like the one in Boulder CO was prevented.

Regarding joking yes and no.

Everything said by others was true but you don’t understand that apparently. This evil jerk was not a Columbia student. Blaming the university is invalid. Trump further attacking the university shows Trump to be a dishonest liar and deal breaking fraud. It also demonstrates that Columbia was foolish to cave in to Trump’s demands last March.

 

One of the articles, the initual one called him a student, the rest called him Clumbia protester. And the rest of the discussion no longer called him student.
You missed that.
That's the only error I see so far.
All the other info seems to be correct.
He is facing 3 counts just for the asult, one of the asults on Columbia Campus.
Read NYPD report.
I would expect people condem his actions, his ties to Hamas etc.
But it appears some here defend him?
I didn't make this up.
He had his marching orders from militant faction or Hamas, it's clear.
And he is agetator, and there are many more

Again demonstrating your blindness and way you are wrong, I didn’t see anyone here defending this evil jerk.

 

At least what I see is at least one responder/poster almost systematically tried to downplay the severity of actions.
More than just deflect it from Clumbia.
I asked people to review this post.
They got the same impression.

 

Again demonstrating your blindness and way you are wrong.

 

I reread the first article you linked to in your opening post. The NY Post clearly stated he was NOT a student. Your blindness and willingness to be blind, no desire to believe whatever you want is overpowering.

 

The links to the articles I posted.
Also as I type I'm watching news exactly on this story.
This guy visited Jordan, and West Bank, participated in Columbia University Protests, at his residence was found 750,000 USD, alot of money, what was the source?
What was the purpose?
And why was he in contact t with Hamas commander?
A lot of questions.

 

What does this have to do with Columbia University? He isnt affiliated with the University and he hasnt been on campus. All I see is he was part of a protest outside of campus that involved Columbia Students.

 

That's where we differ.
According to what I read and saw in the news he was on Columbia University campus, not as a student but as agitator, protester and with other individuals all wearing kaffiye.
I provided in previous posts the address and the name of the campus where the assult occurred.

The news channel had footage of him on one of the encounters being excorted from campus of CU by security.

 

Sir, that man has a pony tail. The pictures released of Tarek Bazrouk online show he does not. Columbia already said he was never on campus. No reputable News agency has since said this is him, including the AP who took this footage (see below).

Per your previous post you said: “The assult took place on 116th Street and Broadway which is on Columbia University's Morningside Heights campus, specifically at the main entrance. It is the location of the campus's main gates and the subway station.”

Access to Morningside campus requires a visitors pass. They would have record if he were on campus then. This video is clearly not from the location you stated before, unless you are saying he was previously arrested on campus elsewhere, which there are no records of.

For anyone interested, this news agency is using footage from the AP. It shows the screenshot in question.

The narrator on the news channel, was describing him, also you don't know the date the video on campus was shot, hairstyle can change. People do get haircut you know.,
All I posted is from different news providers, I'm not making this up.
Columbia University doesn't know who is among the agitators and protesters, they all have masks, and do whatever they want.

2025, CU- Restrictions on Mask Usage: The university prohibits the use of face masks or coverings for the purpose of concealing identity while violating university policies or laws. Masks remain permitted for religious or medical reasons, but not for anonymity during protests.

But footage from past protests in 2023, 2024 shows large amount of protesters conceal their faces. New measures were instituted in response to federal directives and recent incidents involving masked protesters, aiming to maintain campus safety and enforce accountability despite attempts to conceal identity

I think NYPD tells the truth, about the address of the assault, and it's on CU campus.

But , all I'm saying is what the news outlet and other sources publish. I can be wrong.
Prosecutors allege that Bazrouk traveled to Jordan and the West Bank for approximately three weeks in September and October 2024, raising questions about his activities during that period

 

No, Columbia didn't send him there. Columbia is a victim of inaction in 2023,2924.
Columbia did not facilitate Bazrouk's actions, the university has been compelled to increase security and oversight in response to both internal incidents and external pressures.
Columbia has taken increasing steps to restrict campus access and address security concerns, especially since early 2025.
The ongoing investigations will likely clarify the extent of any campus connections and whether university policies were sufficient or require further revision, under investigation, particularly his links to individuals and groups on Columbia's campus.
Authorities are also examining communications among pro-Hamas chat group members and their possible ties to campus organizations.
Larger picture of external agitators activities and connections to anti-Israel, etc. student groups on campuses.
Increase in terror activity due to inability to organize hostile protests and take-overs in 2025, Universities improving security actions taken in 2025 reduced the encampments, and ability of Hamas to incite/repeat 2023, 2024 level of hostile activities on campuses.
FBI warning of terror attacks on Jews in US are real.

 

So what more do you want Columbia to do? They implemented all these changes (some of which I personally disagree with) and the admin is still attacking them.

Also, let me clear, nobody here is downplaying any of the crimes he committed or hate crimes against Jewish people in general. People are criticizing the rhetoric that Columbia is somehow responsible and should be punished by the admin in the way they are.

 

I went back and reread all of your posts. At no time did you say anything that could reasonably be interpreted as supporting or even being sympathetic to that evil jerk.

 

Well good, because I dont support him or his antisemitic views. I also dont support attacks against institutions of education based on misinformation.
