NYPD Investigates Alleged Chemical Attack on Pro-Palestinian Protesters at Columbia University

The NYPD is investigating an alleged chemical attack on pro-Palestinian protesters at Columbia University, where demonstrators reported a foul-smelling substance causing nausea, burning eyes, and stomach pain during a rally against Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza. Several protesters were hospitalized, and the university and law enforcement are treating the incident as a potential hate crime. Tensions over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have sparked protests on American college campuses, with this incident prompting an ongoing investigation into the perpetrators and their motives.
