<p>A student at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/columbia-university" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbia University</a> demanded on Tuesday that the pro-Hamas extremists who overtook a building on campus are given &#8220;basic humanitarian aid&#8221; so they do not &#8220;die of dehydration and starvation.&#8221;</p>
<p>The student was identified by <a href="https://twitter.com/JordanSchachtel/status/1785407783677862093" target="_blank" rel="noopener">journalists</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/StopAntisemites/status/1785454191705567306" target="_blank" rel="noopener">researchers</a>, and a <a href="https://twitter.com/Jim_Banks/status/1785428526998421586" target="_blank" rel="noopener">member of U.S. Congress</a> as being Johannah King-Slutzky, a PhD student who was <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240501002508/https://english.columbia.edu/content/johannah-king-slutzky" target="_blank" rel="noopener">focused</a> on &#8220;theories of the imagination and poetry as interpreted through a Marxian lens.&#8221;</p>
<p>A journalist at a press conference asked her, &#8220;Why should the university be obligated to provide food to people who&#8217;ve taken over a building?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Uh, well, first of all, we&#8217;re saying that they&#8217;re obligated to provide food to students who pay for a meal plan here,&#8221; she said, adding that they want it to be allowed &#8220;to be brought in.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I mean, well, I guess it&#8217;s ultimately a question of what kind of community and obligation Colombia feels it has to its students,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation or get severely ill even if they disagree with you? If the answer is no, then you should allow basic, I mean, it&#8217;s crazy to say because we&#8217;re on an Ivy League campus, but this is like basic humanitarian aid we&#8217;re asking for, like, could people please have a glass of water?&#8221;</p>
<p>The reporter fired back, &#8220;But they did put themselves in that, very deliberately, in that situation and in that position. So it seems like you&#8217;re sort of saying, &#8216;We want to be revolutionaries, we want to take over this building. Now would you please bring us food and water?'&#8221;</p>
<p>She then pivoted to claiming that the protesters were asking the school &#8220;to not violently stop us from bringing in basic humanitarian aid.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re stopping the delivery of food?&#8221; another journalist asked.</p>
<p><b><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1700760801843000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;I &#8212; we are looking for a commitment from them that they will not stop it,&#8221; King-Slutzky responded.</p>
<p>The second journalist noted that the school had not stopped food from being brought in.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, I don&#8217;t, I&#8217;m not, I don&#8217;t know to what extent it has been attempted, but we&#8217;re looking for a commitment,&#8221; King-Slutzky added.</p>
