Students at Columbia University and Barnard College in New York have set up dozens of tents to occupy the South Lawn of the campus to create a Gaza Solidarity Encampment. Democracy Now! spoke to some of the student-activists, who say they are occupying the space, despite the administration's threats of suspension and disciplinary action, as part of a demand that the Ivy League school divest from companies and institutions that profit from Israeli occupation. "It seems like the repression is only getting worse and worse," says Maryam Alwan, a student-activist with Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine.

@@edwinamendelssohn5129What idf propaganda does to a mf..
When you look back on this conflict in 10-20 years, you'll remember how you were duped by mainstream media..
Zionism is fascism.
Nazi is short for Nazionaliste, which means nationalist. Is Israel not “a Jewish nation”?
Anti Semitism. Apartheid, Genocides, Colonialism were created by Fascist since WW 2 for generation..🤭🤭

It seems evident, emotionally mature, intelligent US citizens is not what the elites want.
that is why it was important for them to vaccinate as many people as possible.
If you think you are so smart, instead of stopping people from going about their daily lives, have the courage to challenge the other side in open debates with your protest groups in open forum. It should be a national debate on the grass root level everywhere. Open discussion, not made up wannabes, pie in the sky fantasies that circulate only in your bubble.
A good chunk of the "elite" don't possess those characteristics either.
Silent majority> crying minority.
Well no. They didn't like the Vietnam protests either. Not much has changed.
Bravo to these young people of conscience who seek truth, justice and peace.
Hamas follower😢
The jewish voices in this fight are the most important ones because it counters every single thing the zionists claim.
They have never been to Israel & Hamas would treat them very differently
The Jewish voices for Palestine have low self esteem.
You are wrong.
They give support tô general Bibi.
@@sophiaabramovich8401Good thing Palestine is not Hamas.
Just more privileged brats who will never face accountability for their actions. That student complaining that Columbia is ignoring the student senate, is she the one being hauled before Congress to account for her protest's actions and behaviors? Nope. Imagine the change in tone if every single protester was individually and collectively held responsible for the actions taken by their fellow protesters. She wants the power without the accountability.
Universities should be an institution of education. They should not be associated with any corporations or any foreign countries. The soul purpose should be based on teaching and intellectual debates depending on subjects.

A lot of change comes after university students mobilisation... par exemple la mort des étudiants univ lors de la manifestation en 1970 guerre de Vietnam
It turns out that those working-class institutions of "LW-Marxist indoctrination" are actually wealthy-class tools for "RW-capitalist&fascist suppression."
Of course, this is no surprise to anyone with a comprehension of class-consciousness.
I agree with your sentiment.

Where are the Palestinian roots? Answers Fathi Hamad, the interior minister in the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip who said... "Praise God, we all have Arab roots and every Palestinian in Gaza and all over Palestine can prove their Arab roots, whether they be in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, or anywhere else. We have blood ties." "Speaking personally, half of my family is Egyptian," he said. "Where is your mercy? There are over 30 families in the Gaza Strip with the surname Al-Masri, 'Egyptian.' Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptian, and the other half are Saudi. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri whose roots are Egyptian! They come from Alexandria, Cairo, and Aswan. We are Egyptians. We are Arabs. We are Muslims."
Palestinians are not even from Palestine! They are from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Yemen!
Exactly!! What a bunch of santimoinious crapp your dishing out. There is no such thing as palestine!!
🤣naive words of the century. What’s next?…you’ll tell me Iran is a free progressive state?
So thought the last 20 generations of KIDS. They have no clue. NONE . AND BEING LIED TO BY LIBERAL PROFESSORS > WHY I HAVE NO CLUE... Not until they are older IF they question. Highly unlikely.. they may look for facts... they are getting total false information about the whole GAZA STORY.. ROMANS changed the name and called that area PALESTINE just like they did JERUSELUM. when they left IT STUCK IN THE GAZA AREA.Just like france aquitania occitania ROMANS NAMED all parts of FRANCE. AFTER they left it changed . PEOPLE LIKE TO SAY THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL PEOPLE NO THEY WERE NOT> THOSE WHERE THE GREEK PHILISTINES and they LEFT THAT AREA AFTER THE JEWS CAME BACK FROM THEIR HUNDREDS OF YEAR OF SLAVERY IN EGYPT.. IN 1300 BC.. THEY CAME BACK. Now archeologists are finding 5000 yrs ago there a that JEWS thruout ISRAEL. MUSLIMS didn't come in till after ROMANS LEFT . REMEMBER BEFORE 500 AD. there were no muslims THEY WERE CHRISTIANS or THE OLD GODS.. MANY MOSKS is IRAN IRAW THRUOUT MIDDLE EAST WERE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES BUILT BY ROMANS. LEARN HISTORY.. Palestine Muslims came in the BYZYNTINE TIME.. thousands of years later.. YES ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO THAT COUNTRY..REALLY SAD it would be like ALL OF THE USA STATES GANGING UP ON ONE TINY LITTLE NATIONS THEY SIZE OF CONNECTICUT.. RIDICULOUS. SO NARROW MINDED AND HATEFUL... WHY are JEWS FOREVER BEING PERSECUTED but they are the first to HELP PALESTINE even when they have their own government now. THEY WERE GIVING THEM ELECTRIC BUT NOT ENOUGH FOR THEM TO GET 8 HRS ONLY. YET HAMAS WHO IS IN CHARGE DID NOTHING FOR THEM... WATER . ISRAEL SUPPLIED THEM WITH PIPES to put in more wells HAMAS USED THEM FOR BOMBS. ISRAEL DIDN"T HAVE TO DO CRAP with HAMAS IN CHARGE COLLECTING ALL THE MONEY FROM PALESTINES TO RUN IT> BUT THEY DO NOTHING FOR THE PEOPLE > SO THEY TAKE IT OUT ON ISRAEL BY KILLING 1200 INNOCENT PEOPLE and PALESTINIANS DANCED IN THE STREET WHEN IT HAPPENED IN GLEE> STILL AFTER THE BATTLE STARTED > ISREAL STILL SUPPLIES THEM FOOD> WTF PEOPLE ARE YOU THINKING> YOU ARE SIDING WITH THE WRONG SIDE> HAMAS IS EVIL AND DOES NOTHING FOR THE PEOPLE> ISRAEL HELPS THEM SO MUCH MORE AND THIS IS HOW THEY WERE REPAID> I AM NOT RELIGIOUS BUT I KNOW FACTS AND AM IMPARTIAL TO IT ALL> I CAN SEE WHAT IS IN FRONT OF MY BLIND EYES> SORRY FOR THE CAPS> EASIER TO READ TO FIND TYPOS..

That is ignorant! Not all Palestinians are terrorists. Just like all Israelis are not racist. Get your head out of your backside and stop parroting Israeli talking points.
It’s clear to me that you really don’t understand what is so obvious, Israel is wiping out an entire group of people for their bloodthirsty cult called zionism. The ICJ ruled that what Israel is doing is a plausible genocide in Gaza. And since you are so uneducated in all of this--the U.S. Judge on the court actually ruled it was genocide too.

These "students" appear to be so unhappy here, in the US. Why don't they go back to their countries? Why are we putting up with this sort of behavior. The right to protest is granted to American Citizens. You have the right to protest, as long as it does not prevent others to go about their business without being inconvenienced by these protesters. Why is it so hard to pass a law to prevent this sort of behavior, and to stop these people from blocking roads, etc...?
Why is it so hard to understand that decent people feel compelled to take a stand against genocide, ethnic cleansing and starvation . Its called humanity! Something the government does not have! Thankfully the comment section stands with the students!
