- American universities are worried the student protests against Israel's war on Gaza could lead to funding cuts.
Some donors are threatening to end their support if Palestine solidarity camps aren't cleared.

Funding for war can be reallocated for education

WHO ARE THE "SOME DONORS"
Last names end in stein, berg, icz perhaps.
All the billions of dollars to other countries for foreign aid can support the universities in America. Donors should not be needed.
Lol
Another dumb comment by an ignorant person.
You think America send aid out of the love
Or you think research and developed just happen mistakely without donors money
Not enough money from their ridiculous tuition cost?
Thank you all the students who are trying their best to stop the genocide in Ghaza. History will remember you and thank you.
no they wont....
@@peterjones4286
They'll definitely be remembered for being on the Right side in History....

Ignorance is bliss, right?
@@mariahewitt9787they won’t because they aren’t. They don’t know what they are doing or why. They are just idiot kids doing as they are told
@@mariahewitt9787 Who started the escalation on 7th Oct? (Incoming Hamas terrorist sons and daughter with their "who started it in 1948" comments who don't know what the word ESCALATION means)
How come ALL of American universities are funded by the 'donors' , where did the 'donors' get all this money while donors govt still depending on american taxpayers funding for their defense??? Very weird! 😂😂😂😂
I would redirect the $4 billion we send to Israel every year to renewed government assistance to our public universities.
Not necessary, Qatar and the Saudis are happy to step in.
Housing and Universal Health Care wouldn't go astray.
@@sayjustwordstomeThose are just as bad as Israel.
Our public universities that are partly responsible for this behavior? Let’s not.
I’d rather it go to Israel than the domestic enemies of America.
they worry about money rather than human life. Sick😢😢
yes now f u
Who started the escalation on 7th Oct? (Incoming Hamas terrorist sons and daughter with their "who started it in 1948" comments who don't know what the word ESCALATION means)
Wouldn’t those that care about human life be protesting both Israel and ham@s?
@lemon-eu6kw : What about the value of the human life of the Oct 7 hostages? Are they chopped liver to you? Shaking my head at the selective bias and inhumanity you display...
@@danielkim7841 yeah, a 7th october hostages, compared to 75 years of oppresion from z*o*i*t. 😑😑
So basically deciding whether to accept blood money?
Thank you for you all
Thank you Students for standing with humanity and justice ❤
The students are on the right side of history, sadly it may be a decade or two before this becomes the general consensus. Israel will be a pariah state for generations to come.
very well said
That is nothing new... But history will remind you that they outlast their adversaries😅
Do you think it will take that long to brainwash the population. Only the students are that gullible but they tend to grow up.
There is no place called Palestine
Say simply - on the right side. "On the right side of history" is a quote from Obama's speech in which he blamed Russia for US wrongdoings.
Keep up the pressure, Keep protesting. Vote Green, because they have the pressure. Keep organizing!
defund them all
Agree, a real education doesn't require vast amounts of money from corrupt donors
@@syedabdul-rahman9544 Well said.
@@syedabdul-rahman9544wow, u don't like teachers and researchers 😅
You think Research and development is from the tuition fees
Ignorance in society is a prove
Dumb
@@syedabdul-rahman9544 this when the big question arises are they really free ? Like they portray to the world.
@@syedabdul-rahman9544 Maybe college will stop being a massive scam once the corrupt donors are out of the picture
Thankyou the all the students
Part of the billions going to Israel can be redirected to education and infrastructure improvement in the US.
Thank you to our nations future leaders. No to genocide and apartheid ❤
Companies take your cash out of these University.
It's the universities that have invested in the companies, not the other way around.
@@adrianthoroughgood1191 I literally couldn't believe they posted that LOL! Scary thing is they got 19 likes on that post???
@@active1508 he's also commented against the UN recognition of Palestine. Obviously a committed Israel supporter.
This is strange how universities work in usa.
You should visit Rafah University, get your degree in Tunneling 101 (too soon? 😂)
@@JSK010 Oh, hilarious. Troll humour does a great work in showing the vicious cruelty of Zionists. Keep commenting please.

SOME DONORS?? !! MUST BE THREATENING TO WITHHOLD CASH FROM SOME OF THOSE IN POWER, MEDIA , WHY ELSE WOULD TROOPERD BE DEPLOYED 😡😡
Let them keep their money. The universities will still be there
No they won't.
Another dumb person
You think the tuition fee support universities or Research and development
Do you even know anything?
@@kevinn.1746 Oh, are you carpet bombing it?
Donors should donate to wars NOT education!!
No, private universities rely on fundraising from alumni greatly. If Jewish alumni and supporters of Israel can withhold their donations to the universities, it will be felt tremendously. Why should Jewish people give so much money out of their good will to universities where the professors (like Joseph Massad of Columbia) and students are showing so much anti-Israel hatred? I'm not even Jewish I'm protestant and I would withhold donations to institutions with such extensive antisemitism on campus.
SHAME ON YOU POLICE, THEY ARE JUST STUDENDS 😠😠😠
no ..there criminals
Not anymore! We do not want to see them at universities! Financial cut-off!
@@peterjones4286
They're people with a Moral Compass who don't agree with the Genocidal behaviour of a so called democratic society.

COURAGES!! MY FRIENDS...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What is money after all,we came to this world without any cent and we will die without any cent thats rubbish
Not these people. These are private rich white universities these kids were born with ALOT of money.
It’s only the in between that we need money for.
The companies can go elsewhere.
What companies? Education is a public good
Free free free Palestine🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
WITH THE HALF OF THE MONEY THAT US SEND TO ISRAEL THEY CAN HAVE IN AMERICA STATAL UNIVERSITIES
Free Palestine!!!!
Free Kurdistan
@@Ruzo-yc2wb The Kurds are peaceful good people they should have their own country!!!We dont believe for a second that these students are not being bought!!!!Remember there are billions of people on this earth!!!!!GO ISRAEL!GO TRUMP!!!!!
Don't worry, expelled students! Houthis have invited students to come, stay & study in Sana'a University in Yemen. All courses available in the US, UK & EU are available in Sana'a too & you have the freedom to protest too 👍🏼
Protest against shari'a law in yemen and iran😂😂😂😂
@@user-sd9cp5hg3c you speaking facts...they have NO clue, and NO idea! It's sad really, the extent of ignorance of the protesters and their supporters...
At least 3 died and more than 200 hundred wounded in clashes between LEA and protesters in Pakistan held Kashmir. Why don't you cover it
Carry on real leaders of humanty
Donors should also be interested in where their funding is going.
Exactly!
FREEDOM FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸🇵🇸💔💔
It's only a tough spot for Universities because cuts to public funding have made them utterly financially dependent on the donor class, who are not altruists, they're meddlers.
Cut funding for universities that are accepting bribes from foreign interest groups.
Poor comparison. The number of foreign students at US universities in 1967, and their participation in the student protests against the Vietnam War, was minimal and cannot be compared to the situation today.
They are AMERICANS and have RIGHTS OUR FIRST AMENDMENT "FREEDOM of SPEECH" FRIENDLY PROTESTERS so BACK OFF Thank you 🌹
Student safety and studies should take precedence over and protest EVER!!!
THOSE COMPANIES HELP SECURE THE FREEDOM OF THE US...
I think it is the other way around, donors other than Qatar are threatening to pull funding if protest do not stop disrupting and threatening students...
Shouldn't public education be publicly funded? As anyone knows, he who pays the piper... End all private education. Yes, all of it. Now.
@chetsenior7253 Sad for your child, but given the rigid control that the law permits parents to exercise, you have that legal right to abuse them.
A complete sideshow. So what if people withhold funding. How does even the remotest advocate of the Palestinian cause think this will affect the outcome of the conflict in Gaza in any way? And yet AJ appears to be fixated on the topic.
The universities should give their land to israel if they love it more than American youth
Or does israel already own it
Free palestin IN SHA ALLAH
Free Palestine
Free education like Germany should be funded by us government
Well, at least we also pay for the police with our tax money, who then take care of such students! 😎
Another ignorant comment
😆 really
U think research and development and innovation comes out of the U.S by chance right
US universities are 20x bigger, higher quality and provide higher salaries for their students after because they get funded that’s why Europeans take jobs in America
They’re brave students because if they get into too much trouble with police, they won’t be able to sit their exams.
Good
Good!!! donors should not donate to universities unless they believe in them!! These donors should donate to Israel instead of Tax Payers!!! Donors should pay for wars not education!!!
This is how money works! And also you go to college to study. Not to protest. What a waste of time and money.
Name the donors
Let's hope it's more than an idle threat. Put the money to use elsewhere instead of these left wing indoctrination centers.
You mean morality instead of right-wing solutions like committing genocide?
If they want a free education. Join the military.
Just like they divested funds from South Africa era Apartheid they should do the same with apartheid Israel. It is shameful and shocking it has taken several decades for the world to realise how unfair the policies and actions of the Israeli apartheid government are towards the Palestinians.
but south africa dont have terroris organations
@mahamaedmusa At the time, they and a lot of the Western nations designated a lot of the anti apartheid movements, which had armed wings as terrorist organisations. Incidentally, Hamas was even sponsored by Israel for a while when they left Gaza completely a couple of years ago. They did this because they didn't want a unified Palestinian government to form. So, literally divide and conquer, but that has backfired spectacularly in the terrible October terrorist attack.
Why isn’t the far lefties talking about the situation in Darfur? 🤔
or myanmar
Dont stop protesting! The protests have allready been succesful in making em divest!
If you believe that
You need to watching Ajazerra alone
@@loudmouthdiaries5188 california U have allready done so dude.. they did divest.
@@retchie7355 lol
You are joking right
That's the place that has the most Jewish influencer
Donors are mostly Jewish affiliated
Just stop believing you read
Palestine 🇵🇸 will be Free
Stop Netanjahu the crime minister.
Hopefully they start donating to the n.i.l for their favorite college football teams that would help the poor go to university more than what they are donating to now.
Leave USA if you dont agree to their policy. Israel is ally wether you like it or not
Since when why ? Since WW2 means nothing. We are United States citizens first. If you like israel so much go live there.
No they aren't. Israel is a liability - not just for the Americans but for the entire planet
Down with Turkey Saudi Arabia Jordan UAE
Right over wrong. Who cares! the students will take right any day.
Close down all the colleges of indoctrination
And reopen them and only teach them your indoctrination.

Shame on USA politicians
Reply to Gregben
What about the Israeli monsters since 1948 killing thousands and arresting thousands of the Palestinians without trial, after stealing their land, homes, etc. You should realize there is two sides to any story.
That's right punish your countrymen for a foreign nation! Punish your very own tax payers for a foreign nation. Sounds like a beautiful democracy
Free free palastine
Qatar will keep funding the universities , as long as agree to "Academic freedom" like in Qatar
I'm human, so I support Palästina.
FREE PALESTINIAN
How about rich arab become the donor?
Rubbish, gregben. Learn your history...

Jewish donors 😅
Palestinian will be free from evil
These protests dont help anything
As in "protesting against a vicious mass murder never helped anyone", right?
From the River to the Sea, the USA will be free! (from Hamas sympathizers)
It's a good job Israel has Nuclear weapons 🇮🇱
🇮🇱
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
Gays for Palestine 😂😂😂
Send the “students” to Gaza with only a 1 way ticket
You deserve a one way ticket to hades
West and Central Africa must leave cfa franc and establish economic and monetary sovereignty. Political integration should precede economic integration just like great Britain, the original 13 colonies, and the European Union
Students can always lead by example by divesting themselves from universities and take their fees and leave. But the don’t.
Because they need their university degrees that they’ve invested time & money in. I think your options is not feasible.
The University students are also our future if you hadn't realized. US and Israel needs them.
@@lucystrauss2989 So like their universities and the companies they one day hope to work for, self interest takes take precedence over their principles…how very grown up.
@@MK-fi4cd Regardless of whether they went to Uni or not, every young person is our future.
Pull all support from these students , deport Visa holders ,big fines, and felony charges for any who throw things at attack or spit on Police officers
Pro-Hamas or an American.
There is no overlap.

IDF CAM IN KATAR
From the river to the sea Hamas will soon cease to be
From the river to the sea is how large Israel is supposed to be
