Father Roger Landry, a Catholic chaplain at Columbia University, said on Thursday that the protests making national headlines at the New York City school are being organized in part by “explicitly communist” outside forces.
“There is an instrumentalization of what’s going on in Gaza to advance an agenda,” he said. “And that is to deconstruct our present world order at which the United States is considered the top of that order.”
Speaking on EWTN’s “The World Over with Raymond Arroyo,” Landry said that he had been walking through the encampment nearly daily, conversing with student protesters and other “outside agitators.”
While he said he believes that many of the protesters were genuinely concerned for Gazan civilians, there was a sizable percentage of whom were “explicitly in favor of Hamas” and “definitely antisemitic by their language and their actions.”
What is going on at Columbia? The Columbia demonstration began on April 17 when a large group of students set up dozens of tents to occupy the university’s main quad. Protesters at the encampment said they were standing against Israel’s “genocide” against Palestinians in Gaza.

You don’t say.
Nobody in a position to do so with any authority really had before now.
The issue is never the real issue. The real issue is always the communist revolution.
FReeper ham ass “allahu akhbar chorus” greatly cheered.
Wow, gee ... no kidding?
What we’ve known, from day one of these manufactured college riots.
Columbia’s best and brightest are apparently neither. Remember when colleges taught young people how to think instead of what to think?
As true now as it was in the 60’s.
Not sure that was ever Columbia’s mission, but I suppose it must’ve been, way back in the day.
Communists with money. Why do all the tents match and look brand new. I could use a free one. Would that work?
Why aren’t these communists outsider members and groups identified and arrested?
👍👍👍👍👍
“The real issue is always the communist revolution.”
Another name is the Establishment. They are all on the same side.
They are indeed.
Fr. Landry might soon be out of a job talking like that. It’s refreshing though to see people there with influence speak the truth. Truth is all too rare in these dark times.
Many of the protesters seem to be outsiders. I wonder what percentage of Columbia students and faculty have participated in these camps and protests. What percentage embraces with anti-Semitism and the genocidal agenda?
The Left loves to “force multiply” by making it appear that they represent large groups and populations. It is time for good people to stand up and stop remaining silent.
Every post-Christian nation in History is now Islamic. The LGBTQI2S+ insanity in Europe and America is only furthering the conquest of our country by Islam: the original Antichrist religion. Can y’all see it coming?
Columbia is a rotting leftist corpse anyway, so Marxists felt quite welcome
Bingo! The leftist-inclined (useful idiots) MSM works hard to present it as a college campus issue instead of communist inspired civil discord/chaos that ignites and spreads fastest in our institutions of learning.
See the 1960's & 70's and now the 2024's, the college campuses offering the soft underbelly of our culture with admin's that were generally leftist leaning. Couple that with an easily excitable, energetic but yet immature student body that is looking for a cause that will provide a break from study.
Generally, any cause will do from sports to street marches and climate change and even colorful, murderous figures such as Che Guevera and Mao with his Little Red Book.
