How dare you support this student occupation of sovereign university lands, you people are such hypocrites …

If you do not own the land, you have no right to claim it.
Any court of law will tell you that.
Ask the Palestinians to show you their title to the land.
They do not have title to the land. They just squatted on it back in 1947 and 1948.

When Democrats and Republicans are on the same side, you know it’s the wrong side.
You also learn democracy is an illusion.
It took me many years to realize this, but it's the absolute truth.
That's what I keep telling people! They sound like their perceived political enemies 😅
Happened in the UK, the former left party of the workers is now far right & will take over from the current far right clown show. We now have a new, Workers Party of GB to take Labour’s place.
Exactly.
If this was happening in China, we'd never hear the end of what a repressive hell of a nation it is.
Uighur persecution and Tiananmen uprising both come to mind, and ofc the West condemned those
look up info on how oppressive hong kong protests were. you will find more people have been brutalised in america over a shorter time period and more people arrested.. i cant remember the title of the vid i watched... but it showed stats.. the hong kong protestors ver far more violent and committed crimes and very few were arrested and hardly any charged.. youll find the truth is , china is a much less oppressive nation thatn america
Exactly
That is not true. 1) There is a genocide there now, according to many of the same voices. I rarely hear much about it; 2) They murdered 10s of millions of people in their recent history, and nobody says much about it. Particularly their fellow travelers on the left.
The US has killed, millions of people in the Middle East and Afghanistan, and I don't hear a lot of protest about that history. The reality is the opposite. You can kill millions of people and people like the Clintons and Bidens will still court you for your money.
Spot on!
In 70 years Israel has gone from having the sympathy of the world to now gaining its contempt
Of the WESTERN EUROPEAN world.
To the uneducated it used to have sympathy.
Isreal only had thr sympathy of white ppl because that’s who funded their genocide of that entire region.
It never had any sympathy from any decent person.
They have sympathy of media actors & politicians who they bribe, with our tax money, no less. So now you can guess why politicians are supporting genocide: they are stealing our tax money in order to solicit bribes, for themselves. What do we get? AUSTERITY.
I'm 66 and an American who is absolutely horrified by our government (at least the vast majority). I thank these college students! You started a movement here, and around the world, that will never die until Palestine is free.

1. Every single major protest-movement has had bad actors, and opposition has always painted outliers as if they were the norm, whatever they need to do to smear the whole movement.
2. Footage and first-hand accounts indicate that the vast majority of violence of any kind is being perpetrated by counter-protesters and the police.
I'm not having it. I'm not having any of the same BS nonsense used against civil rights protestors, against Vietnam protestors, against Iraq war protestors. It's the same song and dance; pretend that the protestors are far more violent and unruly than they really are, and then go in and crack skulls and suppress dissent with the blessing of the media and a bunch of gullible rubes. Pretend that the false narrative of protestor aggression is the issue, rather than what they're protesting against.

It's not a crime to condemn Israeli war crimes. Condemning Israeli war crimes is not antisemitic
It's also not a crime to refer to a man pretending to be a woman as "he" but the people engaging in the Palestine protests would like it to be because they do not actually believe in free speech for those who do not share their Marxist worldview.
"To find out who rules over you, find out who you're not allowed to criticize." Who cares who said it because it's true, and that's the point.

And same to those who took tens of thousands of kids' mothers away.
@@bridgetsaenz2774just wrong and evil! Hamas doesn't attack helicopters or ambulances carrying injured IDF.
Palestinians don't celebrate mother's day today. They celebrate it on 21 March.
And those left childless and without parents from October 7?
So sorry to inconvenience you!
This kind of violence is just going to drive more people into the college protests. It is also going to grow the protest marches. There is no going backwards in this movement.
Thank you for covering this. I walked by the encampment daily and saw the events going on there. It was more tranquil, focused, and educational than I could have imagined. They remained on message and ignored counterprotesters, never provoking anyone. They had a library, they had discussions, educational film screenings, speeches. It was more “learning” than I’d ever seen in a college campus. It had a beautiful feeling. And sure they were practicing free speech, but it was more than that: they were articulating a political message in a way that should make a scholarly institution proud, practicing writing and speaking and critical thinking. I also directly received communications from Penn administration that was so inaccurate, disingenuous, and painted such a distorted image of what the camp was like. It was disgusting. I suppose I was naive to assume that the university’s first priority would be intellectualism and education, two things that defined the encampment
Thank you very much for this detailed view. I hope you will consider posting it on as many sites as possible where the campus protests are being discussed, since we have not all had a firsthand vantage point.
Same at University of Michigan. Thus far in this state the student encampments have been unmolested by police. The governors of the Western Michigan University have engaged with the students (not at UM Ann Arbor. Yet).
Encampment isnt legal. Your rights end when infringing on others rights begin.
@@HANKHILLFORTXGOVERNOR thanks for your pedestrian insight lol. I completed my libertarian phase when I was 19 so I’ve long been aware
Amazed at that young lady only being 19 because she speaks with a fantastic amount of intelligence and depth of knowledge. The University should be hailing her as an example to follow rather than making her an enemy !!
exactly
But, but Hillary says the students don't know their history. What she means is the no longer buy the skewed versions that have been staple in our society for decades.

We need these kids to run for office, and take over the government, not just protesting. Actually get in office and make the changes, also set an age and term limits.
Running for office requires huge amounts of money and exposure and these will net neither.
And set an age limit too so you won't have 2 senile depraved devils in their eighties as the only options in our sad US of A
No democracy in the world imposes age and term limits on legislators. Being a legislator is a skill and imposing term limits would make as much sense as age and term limits for scientists and engineers. The constituents should decide when to retire an elected legislator. Do you want an age and term limit for Sen. Sanders, Rasheeda Tlaib, or Jeremy Corbyn?
@@franklittle8124
To answer your question, YES.
And don't conflate the duty of a politician with that of an engineer. The decisions made by evil politicians can be extremely dangerous and affect the lives of tens of millions of people.

Takes me back to my Campus days in the 80s in a South Africa. Horrible days. Strength to you all. Proud 🤞🇿🇦
In South Africa only whites could vote. In Israel, all citizens can vote. You compare roots with apples.
Except the yt victims of s.a apartheid were helping the country.
@@HANKHILLFORTXGOVERNORactually largely white university students peacdfully protested unjust education and peacefully protested for equal education. On my campus University of Natal in 1987, huge numbers of students, all sat at the entrance to the campus calling for equal education for all and we were met with helicopters and police arriving threatening teargas. The newspapers reported students actions as dangerous and troublecausing and that is what many in the public believed
ISR was BFF's with apartheid in both S. Africa and Rhodesia .

A right is not a right when it can be taken away from you by your own government when they feel uncomfortable
DO I CONDEMN HAMAS ? Only in the same way I would condemn the French Resistance for the way they opposed their brutal occupiers! History has judged the French people as Heroes.
That the resistance was raping women and killing children is new to me. For most French people, too, I think.
Or the way I would condemn First Nations people who tried to protect the land from the conquest by euro- whites. Red Cloud. Geronimo . Hundreds of others. Millions of others.

Breaking News from Al Jazeera:-
Egypt says it will formally support South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
Alon Liel, former director of Israel's foreign ministry, tells Al Jazeera it represents an ‘unbelievable diplomatic blow to Israel.’
Crikey that move will cost Egypt many of those US dollars it receives since crushing the democracy established by the Arab Spring. All at the bequest of Israel (yet again).
I am very happy to hear another nation joining Turkey in finding it actually has a spine.
Any idea how long these things take? Like if it was to be ruled as a genocide, when can we expect this to happen and what will happen to all the media outlets that refused to report on the truth.
Why is Egypt not giving the Palestine refugees refuge?
Keep going students ❤ You have so many people cheering for you ❤ You're proactivity is heroic 🇵🇸🇵🇸
What a shame UPENN. Just a reminder to all the listeners, the US Declaration of Independence was signed at the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
yeah, but university Presidents and the board of trustee members are self-evidently made more equal ;-)
Right?! Great point!
Your rights end when infringing on anothers rights begin.
Follow the money. When the rich donors complain, private universities JUMP into action. It's pathetic.

Four dead in Ohio" - The Kent State shootings (also known as the Kent State massacre or May 4 massacre[3][4][5]) were the killing of four and wounding of nine unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard on the Kent State University campus. The shootings took place on May 4, 1970, during a rally opposing the expanding involvement of the Vietnam War.
