When asked who their favorite terrorist group was, one activist said "IDF" - which stands for the Israel Defense Force, the military of Israel.

Others cursed at Guillette or told him to "shut up" when asked if Hamas should remain in charge of "Palestine." Another individual flipped off Guillette and told him to "f--- off.'

The footage also captured a crowd that was reciting a chant shockingly comparing the New York Police Department to the KKK.

"[Columbia University President] Minouche Shafik has failed time and again to protect Jewish students on campus and hold antisemitic students and faculty accountable," Guillette said in a statement to Fox News Digital last week.

"During Wednesday’s hearing, Shafik made a number of empty promises and insincere statements about the state of antisemitism on Columbia’s campus," he continued. "Just one day later, radical antisemites continued to terrorize Jewish students on campus and spew their hateful ideology. The last 48 hours have made it abundantly clear that Shafik is not fit to serve as Columbia President."

The cameraman filming for Accuracy In Media was reportedly assaulted while filming the agitators, according to the video.

"One thing that is abundantly clear is that this campus is out of control," Guillete said in the video. "These are radicals, they need to be held accountable."

More than 100 anti-Israel protesters were arrested at New York University (NYU) Monday, as similar protests erupt on college campuses across the country.
