Ilhan Omar’s Daughter, Isra Hirsi, Suspended From College For Involvement In Anti-Israel Protests
A daughter by a brother?
The daughter of Democrat “squad”
member Illhan Omar, Isra Hirsi, said on Thursday that she has been
suspended from Barnard College over her involvement in anti-Israel
protests on Columbia University’s campus.
“I’m an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest @ColumbiaSJP, in my 3
years at @BarnardCollege I have never been reprimanded or received any
disciplinary warnings,” the 21-year-old wrote on X.
“I just received notice that I am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide.”
Hirsi and the two other students, who were identified as Maryam Iqbal
and Soph Dinu, all received their notice of suspension from Barnard’s
dean, Leslie Grinage, on Thursday morning.
“This decision is based on information received from Columbia
University Public Safety that you have been involved in an unauthorized
encampment on the Columbia University campus and you have not ceased
participation in this unauthorized encampment despite repeated requests
from Barnard and Columbia on April 17, 2024 that you do so,” the dean’s
email read, according to the student group.
Omar’s (D-Minn.) daughter shared footage of herself participating in
the protests a day earlier, calling it a “huge historic moment.”
“We will stand resolute until our demands are met. Our demands
include divestment from companies complicit in genocide, transparency of
@Columbia’s investments and FULL amnesty for all students facing
repression,” she wrote.
This comes after the far-left Democrat Omar was booted by Republicans
from the Foreign Affairs Committee in February over her recent
anti-Semitic comments about Israel.
