- Following dozens of arrests at the end of a pro-Palestinian demonstration on campus, USC announced it will no longer hold its main commencement ceremony. Tracey Leong reports for the NBC4 News on April 25, 2024,
I never understood protesting something in another country like protesting is going to do something happening across the world 🤷🏾♂️
apparently the young lefties and democrats think they can recreate the summer of love that helped usher in Biden...but this time instead of Black Lives Matter they slip into their communist style chanting "K*** all jews"...yeah USC and Columbia it was heard being slipped into chants along with "One Arab State".
We literally fund Israel tho.
Careful now. Reason and logic could get you in trouble these days.
@Actualchristianity these kids using reason and logic is why they are being silenced.
@@EingefrorenesEisen What part of genocidal language (from the river to the see, a call for the extermination of the state of Israel) is reasoned, or logical?
Not fair for Rest of the students who were not part of this.
"...he felt an overwhelming amount of support from faculty, classmates, and ally groups..."
Big bummer yes, but it’s a graduation. These students are protesting an active genocide occurring. What’s more important- a ceremony or people’s lives? 35,000 people now murdered in Gaza. I say- amazing job students!!
@@anniek4919saying death to American and I’m stepping in because now you have threatened me as an American, get a clue.
I know 😢 and all of this could of been avoided had the University administration stopped supporting genocide and listened to the students
@@anniek4919you may want to look up the definition of Genocide before throwing that word around.
No, you don’t have the right to go into Target, the mall , any store when they are closed. USC said leave by a certain time .
they're on private property, the only 'right' they have is one the administration deigns offer.
Censorship
Yep, they removed my 2 cents of vitriol.
being a student ....does not mean "it's THEIR own campus""
Sad to see college students so thoroughly brainwashed. 😢
No, they understand what’s going on- it’s people like you who are brainwashed. How about educate yourself on Gaza
99% of these protesters were not usc students
Brainwashed because they see history before October 7th? Give me a break.
This guy meant to say. He has never been held accountable for poor decisions.
Why do they hide their faces?
from you
@@ferashijazi1299can hide from us forever. Can’t wait for all the trails and jail sentences 😅
@@ferashijazi1299 No, friend, I asked WHY. Not who from.
Criminals. Improper act on campus. This is America. Not Gaza. Makes no sense.
@@Quazi-motoThe government/media told them Covid is big bad and scary, even though they're all at least quadruple boosted 😂
This is NOT no peaceful assembly! Disgusting!
Sometimes you got to make noise to get results
Certain noise can weaken support.
Not that I disagree with what they are protesting.
Yes it is. Far more peaceful than chaz at least. The same people who threw grandma in jail stole 14 blocks from Portland. Nothing new here.

Waaaaaahhhhh!!! I should be able to do whatever I want with no consequences!!! Waaaahhhh!!!!!😭😭😭
So you recognize no consequences for genocide, but make fun of people who are acting upon their right to free speech?
When they acknowledge the atrocities committed by Hamas and hold signs condemning their barbaric acts then we can start having dialog. Until then, their tacit approval is just as revolting.
By the way, there’s a difference between free speech and an unlawful assembly. Look it up. That’s why they were arrested.
Actions have consequences. Surely if they are intelligent enough to get into USC , they also recognize that simple concept .
Getting into USC doesn't require intelligence, it just requires parents with money.
It’s shocking to think you live in a democracy only to wake up to the fact that you have no free speech and are living in a authoritarian state.
@bay_8792 I know! I'm sick and tired of RUclips deleting every comment I post too!
@@Prisoner_844 But you're not taking the side of the people who are protesting FOR Sharia law and FOR the extermination of the Jews and saying that THEY are the ones on the side of democracy, are you? Because in the fight between Israel and Hamas, ISRAEL is the one that believes in democracy. Hamas, and these gullible idiots carrying water for them, are on the wrong side of history.
They're stupid 🙄 not intelligent, cause they messed up their own future and also d future of other innocent students who r not protesting.
Kids, learn your lessons!
Fair warning and choosing to be civil disobedient, then face the consequences!
And it has nothing to do with them. This is America. Not Gaza.
@@littleme3597 These social parasites need something to latch on to to feel validated.
Welll the students said that they're going to protest until their DEMANDS are met, so the school president could have listened all day long, and that would not have satisfied the protesters
So we dont care about the other students rights to have that ceremony.
Nope, virtue signaling is more important
No. They don't. All those protesting in the wrong country.
😂😂! Parents are you proud !!! 👏
I am!
@@anniek4919why?
@@anniek4919 That your kid is promoting protection for Hamas ? Yeah , I'd be thrilled too 😂
@@maryannerazzano7692 That means SHARIA LAW with burka. Ignorant.

@@atedinahalf6288 it's called selective enforcement
@@user-hr1rh4nl6k It's called politically pursuing my perceived rivals under a false guise of democracy and victim hood.
You need to go away now with your hatred. I understand where these people are coming from they are trying to send a message to our government to stop promoting war over there. I agree with them they should stop it. We as a country need to stop providing aid of any kind to Israel and get these sides together to form a ceasefire immediately. These people are protesting against what they believe in and that is war they want peace just like we all do. But we can’t have peace if our own government refuses to stop providing Aud of all kinds to them. They are doing what they believe in and I fully support them if you don’t then you should go over to Israel and see how bad it is over there it’s bad very bad.
I’m glad I was able to graduate before all this sht came down
You act like protest on campus is something new
I've seen some but this is way out of proportion. How exactly can you call a stop to genocide when they still want to commit genocide?
They kind of look like a bunch of colonizers, settling on the land.. 🤔
Aww daddy pays for tuition and I’m sure daddy will pay bail.
These are DEI grant students.
What a bunch of nuts
Do you all ever ask yourself why they’re protesting in the first place? Are you all even capable of human empathy?
@@thelightwithin3336They should be all arrested. They just committed a crime. Antisemitism is a crime. We need to fight against it.
@thelightwithin3336 you're probably responding to a ✡️ so....no, no humanity there at all
Only stupid people messed up their own graduation. 😅😅😂
As someone who has been through several graduations, I can assure they were all boring and anticlimactic.
Who are behind the Protests . Who promote the protests ? The US GOV should investigate and find out about the organizations inside the universities .
Multimillionaire tech mogul Neville Roy Singham along with his wife Jodie Evans have been bankrolling the protesters since last year. THE Toronto Sun did an excellent investigative report on this.
The USC used to be a decent university
That was before Nikias became president.
Does that mean they dont graduate and get free tuition now? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shut er down! Dont hand out any degrees.
Freedom of speech is also based on respect for others and compliance with social order. Please be the gentleman not the rats to society
Expel the idiots who deny others the right to attend classes without prejudice or fear.
The ignorance of these people is so beautiful. It’s speechless. Even if the President of the United States calls for a cease-fire, the people in charge of that situation don’t care and they think a small little school can make a difference. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 🤌🤌🤌
I’d did make a difference. They are part of many schools protesting - and guess what - it made the news days in a row now
Divest from Israel
It's called vanity.
@@kathismatastic no.
@@kathismatastic Not happening!
They’re still wearing ppe masks at USC😂😂😂
Free America from AIPAC
Free American Universities from Qatar -- sponsoring courses in Terrorism 101!
From Qatar which is funding American universities to promote the tenets of terrorism.
That is a ridiculous comment. Qatar is sending millions to the universities. Where do you think these students are getting their agenda?!
They're not peacefully protesting. Everyone can see their aggression and violence towards the police.
U fricken hypocrite
Where?
If they were pro-Israel protestors the school never would have removed them. Removing pro-Palestinian voices is the real cancel culture
@@bluegrays9872 Liberal media refuses to show it.
Social media has plenty of footage.
@@OrtusMallum2075why would the media, who are in the pockets of Isreal, refuse to show it?
Kowtowing to terrorists. Typical.
What are you even talking about? Pay attention
Usa is tero.ism
@@anniek4919 YOU pay attention, the majority of the American public does not feel the way YOU feel and no amount of jumping up and down and screaming will change that. Shut all these schools where the protests are happening down, no one would care!
True. That is HAMAS......
And this is who gives the “educated vote”⁉️😂😂😂
So true.
I bet in these tents you would find drugs, weed, alcohol, parafinalia
Some of these students worked so hard and waited for years to walk to celebrate their accomplishments and these protesters ruined the grads moment. Disgusting.
Brain washed !
They have so much energy and free time but no real responsibility. Go get a summer job! And wake up!
and Get Off My Lawn!
The students are willing to sacrifice their time, safety and in some cases even enrollment in University for the benefit of others. They seem pretty awake to me! Perhaps it is you that needs to “wake up”
@@thelightwithin3336No. Tis you who needs to wake up and see what is really going on. Israel has a right to defend herself against brutal bloodthirsty terrorists who hate the Jewish people. Praying for Israel. In the very end, the Lord God wins! This is just the beginning.🙏🏼❤️🇮🇱

They need to reimburse all the airplane tickets and hotels for the graduation
Nope, that way the parents maybe put some sense in their kids
Asking for Cease fire but why causing the cancellation of the commencement. Why not cease protesting and let those who deserve to be recognized at graduation be there. Graduates should sue the organizers.
I can't wait to hire you guys. 😂😂😂😂😂
2 words. "Kent State"

No kidding!
Completely spineless.
outsiders need to be fined to cover security cost
USC is private property. USC gets a lot of Saudi money historically, so things have to be very bad with a lot of intimidation and violence and blocking of class access to make these moves.
That’s absolutely horrible that students graduation ceremonies get canceled. These are terrorists, not protesters. They do not respect others.
Causing a cancel of graduation ceremonies is an act of terrorism now?
They aren’t terrorists- they ARE protesters
What is worse? Graduation being cancelled or genocide?? This is what is being protested. US weapons did this. ruclips.net/video/PgaptVioFME/видео.htmlsi=z6vpitY4yNOnDvf0
@@anniek4919 They may not be terrorists but they are backing terrorists! I would say that is really close to the same thing.
@@graciel2313 no, they are definitely not backing terrorists. They are backing Palestinians. Hopefully you do know that most people living in Gaza are regular people. Yes there are terrorists in Gaza- there are white nationalist terrorists in the US too- doesn’t mean Canada should flatten our country because we harbor traitors. At ANY large protest, there will always be a few bad eggs in the bunch- they don’t represent everyone. 99.9% of the protesters are peaceful-
They have something in common with Palestinians after all bringing chaos upon themselves
🐽
You voted for this crap.!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What does that mean? Voted for what?
Hope my tax dollars are not being used to operate this insane asylum !!!!!
What else do you expect from USC?
I never thought best last words
Canceling protests = doubling down.
“Oh my god stupid students are protesting all the way in America, I’ve come to my senses and go to call of the war”. 😂
spoiled brats run the show there🤑
here's the problem. Allow both pro-Palestinian protesters to "mingle" with pro-Israeli protesters and next thing you know, police are required. Guaranteed. Visit the Middle East sometime like I did a few years ago, with a serious recognition there will never be peace in the Middle East so lots of local people are feeling left out and want to bring the fun here
It’s amazing that people haven’t caught on that we live in an authoritarian state.
Guaranteed not all those folks are students.
A year from now they will all look back and say “We were wasting our time. Nothing in the world has changed and we missed our graduation! What were we thinking?? 🤔😳😜. Educated Fools!
Arrested and re-released lesson not learned
They can be held for 3 days before charges have to be filed. Would be a good lesson, but jail overcrowding probably prevents that.
ARE THESE THE PEOPLE THAT WANT STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS TOO? SMH
Boy yall are REALLY salty about student loan forgiveness 😂
@@iismyaliasthey made a decision they can pay there own debt. That easy. America is wealthy. Pretty easy to do. In debt free and own a bunch of real estate. 😊
@@iismyaliasyeah because we'd be paying for these crazy people to protest and brainwash our young minds with trash. We the people would be paying the bill for this. Absolutely not.
They're USC students. They don't have student loans, their parents paid for everything.
@@justinblake6543 America is wealthy bc people are it’s commodities. A few get richer off the backs of the many. I just don’t get why people are so pissed about somebody else’s debt. The wealthy get bailouts and corporations get unnecessary PPP loans they don’t have to pay back when they have the money to do so without struggle. The middle class and blue collar classes need a break too. Don’t worry there’s plenty of other debt to acquire to keep folks bogged down. The US is the only (or one of the few)first world countries that forces people into significant debt just to get an education.
Shame us taxpayers forgiveness loans cannot even have Graduation, But it's very sad for the kids who really study and work hard in college.They have the right to have their graduation
did they protest ukraine, too? or the concentration camps in china?
OJ not happy bout his Alma Mater
These aggressive protesters should be free of US college and continue their education in Qatar or Gaza
So only thing they could cease it their own graduation ceremony. Lol 😂😅
Probably shouldn't have allowed constant antisemitism on campus for decades
Being against Palestinian genocide is NOT antisemitism. Many of these protesters ARE JEWISH. We can be against the actions of the Israeli government and military - and be against the US supplying weapons and bombs to Israel- doesn’t make protesters against Jewish people. Educate yourself
Thank you USC.

All protests against the power against inhumaneness in all of history has had the same reaction against the but truth, the good always wins
There is very little "good" in these people. Most couldn't articulate what they are even protesting if you asked them and some of them are paid antagonists.
Shut USC down and send the students out to get real jobs flipping burgers.
Or USC could just divest from Israel.
But they'll get paid more per hour than most others in the state! 🤣🤣🤣

Protest on sidewalks constantly moving is okay if permitted to do so. Rallies on school property or private property of businesses arrest all. Protest on federal highways blocking traffic, arrest and make it a federal crime with prison sentences.
Apparently you think protests shouldn’t interrupt or inconvenience anyone - the entire point is to inconvenience people until they open their eyes and pay attention to the message which is to make this stop ruclips.net/video/PgaptVioFME/видео.htmlsi=z6vpitY4yNOnDvf0
