Freedom of speech, expression ‘supposed to be prized’ in US: Columbia student
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 апр 2024
- A Columbia University student spoke to Al Jazeera’s correspondent Teresa Bo outside the campus about the events that led to the latest police incursion. “A lot of students went into Hamilton Hall yesterday and occupied and [renamed] it as Hind’s Hall,” said the student who did not want to be identified by name.

I salute these brave young adults who have stood firm on their morals.
Hey so how’s it going in Gaza.
Did those Islamic fighters free them from the river to the sea yet.
Did they get any land or homes back for the Palestinians in Gaza ?
@davidmhale521
Palestine is closer to controlling The Mediterranean Sea to The Jordan River than israHELL is to controlling The Euphrates to The Nile.
These students just wants their final exams delayed so they can get more time to prepare.
most of them had no clue what was happening. Not a good look.
Spoiled brats. getting a time out.
Solidarity with the protester. 15000 children been killed in Gaza and we must not silence against this war crimes and humanity crisis happening in Gaza, Palestine.
To all the students and people supporting Palestinians around the world... Keep protesting and demonstrating
until a One or Two States Solution will be internationally agreed !
Everyone must condemn Israeli war crimes.
>Everyone must condemn Hamas war crimes.
Fixed that for ya 😊
Do you condem hamas war crimes?
Hamas and IDF are both war criminals!
@@jerrymiller9039 you know they dont. Really is a stupid protest from bored and lonely youths which half of them dont even know why and what they are protesting for.
thats like condmning nelson Mandela @bigo3293
You have freedom of speech/ assembly only if you agree with the government.
You are wrong. Let me say it again. "The First Amendment protects us against government limits on our freedom of expression, but it doesn't prevent a private employer" or a private school from setting its own rules.
The 1st amendment doesn't give anyone the right to unlawfully occupy private property. And it most certainly doesn't give anyone the right to destroy property, private or government.
I think you, fundamentally, misunderstand what the 1st amendment covers.
Let me, add something else here in the discussion as far as the word, 'retaliation' is a concern.
Yet a civilized nation, acknowledge retaliation as a sternest feature of war.
Retaliation will, therefore, never be resorted to a measure of mere revenge, only as a means of protective 'retribution'.
@@anikaparker1077 Isn't it problematic that the only thing a government has to do to circumvent freedom of expression is sell off public property where such gatherings are possible?
@@anikaparker1077 So you disagree with the bar-sit protests against segregation, the protests against the Vietnam War, and South African apartheid too? I hope you do, because then at least you're consistent.
@@KazzakLordOfDoom yeah, the "government" sold Columbia its campus. Columbia was founded before the US even existed as a nation.
These students have more courage than Biden.
And they are about as empty headed too.
Both are trash
you are basically saying that a criminal doesn't have courage
American great nation ❤
These students don't have the considerations Biden has.
As a New Yorker, my heart bleeds at this moment. This is the shame of NYC in history!!
There should have been New Yorkers blocking the cops from getting on campus if they really cared.
Mine bled on 9/11
@@tylernorby4939 is that what should of happened on Jan 6 also ?
there were only a few hundred people there and they ran away. What a shock!! NY is not Pro-Hamas! Who would have thunk?
@@tylernorby4939they tried!!!
America get involved for a nation wide protest
American democracy = work, consume and shut up.
When we realize it’s the United States of Israel
The students and outside agitators are breaking the law eg breaking and entering , they were given the opportunity to walk away numerous times
USA 🇺🇸 and Israel 🇮🇱 are allies yes
@@Tamar-sz8ox "outside agitators". No, the administration broke the law when call the police without decision of the faculty senate. The administration broke the law refusing food and housing already paid by the students. The administration broke the princicle os the academic freedom and free speech. The administraion is ruling outside the law for Fortune 500. If you suport the cops and teh administration you suport the dictatorship of capital. Stop genocide!
@@Tamar-sz8ox You mean Hamilton building. That happened after things escalated by bringing in police to please Zionist donors like Kraft. The big donors have insisted the protests be squashed. Also, tons of older pro-Israeli Zionists are on campuses literally harassing protests and throwing racist epithets at them. Yet, the mainstream doesn't cover it.
@@Tamar-sz8ox They covered their faces like robbers, their intent was to use violence, they were not interested in debate or using peace.
USA, Israel's lapdog.
USA, Anti-Hamas and Islamic Radicalism
As an American, I ashamed of our coward , leaders selling American rights to Israel
so obvious all my life...
F both parties and the US government.
And the corporations and billionaires that own them.
F the students and their false outrage.
@@fatherson5907nice to see the state department still has faux accounts
@@fatherson5907 why is their outrage false? They aren't allowed to be mad at our government spending billions to fund war when people in the US are sleeping on the streets? How could you not be angry?
@@fatherson5907 they're doing more than you
So proud of the students and professors. FREE PALESTINE.
So funny to see them so angry over something they know nothing about.
Don’t start a war and then cry when you’re losing, terrorists.
Whatever happened to free speech and due process? Anyone can just be arrested and expelled from school simply for stating your opinions?
Someone, please, correct me if I'm wrong. But, "The First Amendment protects us against government limits on our freedom of expression, but it doesn't prevent a private employer from setting its own rules."
The 1st amendment doesn't give anyone the right to unlawfully occupy private property. And it most certainly doesn't give anyone the right to destroy property, private or government.
I think you, fundamentally, misunderstand what the 1st amendment covers.
You do not understand law at all. Go back to class and ask your teacher what due process of law is.
Say what you want but do it on public property and not on someone else’s private property. And yes, you can be trespassed at work or school. If your employer or principle wants you to leave and you refuse, they call that trespassing. Plus, when people are B&E’ing, they aren’t protesters anymore.
@@anikaparker1077 and what protests are. Because protests are by definition not supposed to be about rules. They're supposed to be about civil DISOBEDIENCE to bring attention to a cause and demand concessions.
This news station is owned by a govt that does business with Israel. But never brings attention to this fact on it's own state tv's youtube channel where they only speak English for reasons that should be obvious. This is Qatar's RT. This isn't news. It's west facing propaganda.
There are trespassing laws. Hopefully the communists didn't forget this obvious reality in pursuit of their delusions.
Hypocrisy of uncle Sam!!!
Uncle Sam was no involved. Genius. lol
Solidarity with the protesters, free Palestine!
THIS IS THE BIGGEST SCANDAL IN THE HISTORY OF TIME
hahaha. This is weak.
Campers have the right to defend themselves!
How do you like being occupied???
LOL Occupiers crying about occupiers.
Wow, false equivalency... didn't you learn anything fighting about the virus
Israel has the right to defend itself. You can't start a war and then cry that you're being attacked. Anti semite
A+ comment!! 😊
They are the best of us !
Why is the NYPD starting to sound like the IOF explaining why they have to commit horrific acts of violence against innocent college kids exercising their First Amendment?
Many of the police in America were trained in IDF training programs including Colombia’s riot police
Why NYPD is so soft on these Islamists
There are no "horrific acts." I am not going to waste time with you because you cannot and have no desire to be truthful.
@brentshowers741 Why are you speaking since you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about? Universties do not even have "riot police."
Agitators aren’t working with the students! FFS‼️
God bless Columbia student protestors!
Whenever they say “outside agitators” they are gaslighting us.
@@adriennerutledge5745 Thank You!
So the politicians say to university president , crack down on the protests, your not being tough enough or else... how's that working for you? 😂 VOTE THEM ALL OUT OF OFFICE!! Except RasheedTalib
Salute to bravo students!
Universities can lose international recognition and their degrees due to their behavior towards their students.
Yes. The very thing they fear.
They fear losing those shekels from all rich ppl w endowments tied to Columbia . This is about money
Universities will lose all of their federal funding if they promote an offiially recognized terrorist group.
That includes student aid and student loans.
The federal government provides enormous subsidies to the wealthiest universities by paying “overhead” on research grants. Ivy League universities received $1.8 billion for government-funded research grants despite having $192 billion in endowment funds.
- BECAUSE of course it’s NOT about the money!
We must not be silent while witnessing injustice. Israel is committing war crimes and US is complicit in those crimes.
History shows how many have suffered. Look at what they did to Vietnam. They used the worst weapons, they burned them alive
@@nomoreheroesmd6577 US used agent orange in Vietnam. This caused serious health issues including cancers, neurological problems and birth defects.
@@nomoreheroesmd6577 US used nuclear weapons on civilian targets (Hiroshima and Nagasaki). Many civilians suffered from radiation.
The massive and ongoing student demonstrations were the greatest peaceful force that politicians in the US, Europe and Israel did not anticipate.
Let this mobilize you.
To the brave students,
What you are doing is bigger than yourselves. Collectively, you're an instrument of justice & peace....you're an instrument of God!
I'm glad they are arrested. They need a job and a reality check
If we didn't know better it would seem to be that an, army armed to the teeth has descended upon upon a group of peaceful unarmed students and professors.
We look in horror at this spectacle.
No it doesn't. And it does not matter how it looks. It is our job and our business.
The irony is that, if the students were just allowed to protest peacefully, this wouldn’t even be on the news.
More power to the students, bravo! You show more courage than our sold out corrupt officials and politicians including the sleepy joe.
Be the force with you, always students, never give in, never give up.
It is not "anti-semitic" to be anti-zionist. There are student groups like _Jewish Voices for Peace_ that are anti-war & pro-Palestinian.
The new American president must come from these youngsters
The more you squeeze a spring, the higher it will jump, stupid politicians!!!
Great comment
Benjamin Mileikowsky. (Netanyahu) appears to be the "president" and in control of the USA government. Sad to see how weak the US government truly is.
There more interested in arresting protesting grandmas than tackling real issues.
Our government is bought and paid for.
Country: U.S
Government: North Korea.
Bravo students! The world is with you!
Freedom isn't free. You gotta pay. No pain no gain. Big bubbles no troubles.
Solidarity to the students
I am not from the USA but I knew American people have distinguished in terms of civil rights and humanity. Salute to the students, salute to the bright minds, salute to such a generation
thank GENZds making history
15000 children killed in Gaza
Aaron Bushnell
U. S violating human rights
Yup. While deploying 'israeli' trained police. An iof tactic.
@@1BigCREE1Redtail : ¡ Indeed !
@@Lunatic4Bizcas Many folks are now fully aware of that ugly fact.
@@1BigCREE1Redtail Aware of what "ugly fact?" I missed that memo😢
The ugly fact that these kids are breaking the law here and are being dealt with correctly. Protest all you want within the rules. Break those rules, such as B&E, get locked up.
When will people learn that America isn't what it claims to be. It never was. The marketing's nice, the reality not so.
A salute to the enlightened steed of columbia ,your fight is noble and your love and empathy is empowering and is the true conscious of the common people
Trying to silence anyone who is exposing israel atrocities. Calling for ceasefire is not antisemitism. Stop throwing antisemitism on anything.
Try paying attention.
Palestinians are allowing these atrocities happen to them because they won’t accept defeat and surrender for their own well being.
Dont rely on these bastards to give you youre freedom...take it
34,000 people in gaza died....half were kids 12,000 children...but your still talk sympathy for Israel
It's called Hind Hall.
Has the school given the students their investment portfolio? Let's look at it.
Shame on Columbia!
You got freedom of speech, I heard you. Arrest them now.
So you are arresting people for occupying land that doesn't belong to them?
Very good statement from masked, “unnamed”, student spokesman👏👏👏
Outside agitators is what they called the civil rights fighters back in the day
No they didn't. Stop lying.
@@Matthew_Loutner YES!
@Emmadaniels100 Wait. You mean agitators from this country?
Like strike breakers?
Oh. That is different. Maybe there were some local people.
This video is referring to Palestinian organizations organized from the Middle East.
Yes! Southern sheriffs used that excuse to punish students fighting for civil rights.
RUclips title " Remembering The Kent State Massacre | Morning Joe | MSNBC "
"our purpose was to document the event.."
,,Goo gull it!
Liars! False report to say such things with no proof and call police! That is s crime!!!!
same thing during vietnam, civil rights protests, and iraq. why does anyone expect anything to get better.
Really looking for an excuse to get cops on campus. Agitators😮👀
Time to divest from America ‘s enemies
They would have called in the cops anyways.
This is absurd.
American students are on the right page of history. They call for Peace, stop the war, depart from oppressors, colonizers, apartheid state, occupation regime.
A REAL CHURCH WILL NEVER SAY GAY IS OKAY.
Whither you agree or not they should’ve just let them Peacefully protest. Their message is enlightening people all across the world.
Peaceful protesting is allowed.
God, bless these kids. Doing the right thing takes great courage when there are significant consequences.
SHE'S FULL OF IT!😮
Well, history repeat itself , RIGHTs !?!?
Catch up USA with democracy make a difference.
This is new lay to get away with what they are doing
This is unruly conduct. A danger to the public!
Occupation is only allowed when it is Israel?
Free ain't Free like they thought it would be. Something BP already knows, we tried to tell you so.
These politicians have to remember it election year
You might ignore the Constitution but you won't ignore the Word of God.
Students of USA is great human. Bravo.
It's okay everything changes in the next few days
No freedoms are absolute. You can be trespassed from your place of work or school.
Al jazeera speak about free speech but have no interviews of eveeyday Gazans criticising Hamas
Them barricading themselves in one of the halls isn’t that hall the property of the college? Also, did classes get moved back online because of these protests? That would be awful
what does crapping in buckets and eating cupcakes in a barricaded dormitory have to do with free speech?
US students should learn from Hong Kong rioters civil disobedient strategy which was endorsed by US congress. This includes blocking roads, burning subways, break into public buildings etc
The American dream where you have to be a sleep to believe it..
So, there will be mass class-action then
Thank you american university students ❤ ❤❤solidarity with Gaza palestine
Is active political. We are freedom country not a dictatorship or tyrant
Their parents must be proud. Wasting $$$ just so their kids can LARP as revolutionaries
"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press"
But Columbia University can!
Thanks Aljazeera for splendid journalism
Can’t say the same for western bigot media
Instead of asking pro-Palestinians to condemn Hamas, do an experiment and ask them the following question: "If Israel could eliminate Hamas without harming women and children, would you support that?" You will be shocked by the answer.
Free🏴🇺🇸from🇮🇱. Normalize cooperatives and Ⓐctive unions. Democratize🗳️the workplace. Workers make the world run, workers should run the world☭.🌎🇵🇸🕊️
Columbia is a private University...which is why the admins can crack down. Public universities have been more tolerant of protests.
but in the end it becomes as bitter as wormwood
and sharp as a double - edged sword.
Students giving us lessons in dignity, justice and compassion.
¡Qué vivan los estudiantes!.
Tradition not always right. What you are talking about?
Bronze Age people living in a Bronze Age world.
Why is this reporter so befuddled? Aren't the kids suppose to be studying?
Sounds very different about process of rights due process. Discuss. Discuss a lie. Tactics behavior behind law
Hypocrite us policy makers
