- US congresswoman Ilhan Omar grilled Columbia University President Nemat “Minouche” Shafik on Wednesday about protests on campus and the broader hostile environment faced by students during at a House committee hearing that discussed Columbia University’s response to antisemitism.
Omar said she was “appalled” to learn that Columbia University suspended and evicted six students for their involvement in pro-Palestinian panel events on campus.

Censorship is everywhere. No one can speak out against the genocide in Gaza without being labeled antisemitism.
Ok, tell them that's the Arabs are the real semites.
So true.
In Canada ... Speaker of the House Ted Arnott banned the wearing of keffiyeh scarves in the Ontario legislature. There was no vote. There was no discussion. Mr.Arnott just decided, he, himself.
Even Doug Ford (a man I have never agreed with and believe is a crook) disagrees with his decision.
This is complete and utter madness!
If i would write a comment like yours.. yt blocks me again 24hrs…. But! Fully agree!
Perhaps had the British, French, Russians and United States actually not ignored the indigenous arab inhabitants of the former Ottoman Empire, now Palestine, before welcoming zionist jews into that area. Calling that "a land without people for a people without land" when in fact, it had been populated with Arabs, We most probably would not been in the quagmire we are in.
Since the zionist jews are the transplanted invaders/occupying force in Occupied Palestine; it is incumbent upon the United Nations vis-a-vis Britain, France, Russia and United States to resettle those zionists to another location outside of Lebanon/Palestine.
Saudi Arabia seems to have ample surplus land to resettle the total global Jewish population.
The irony here that Palestinians themselves are semites
I protested the war in Vietnam. I was called a traitor and a communist. If I was younger, I would protest the War against the Palestinians too!

Especially her courage to promote incest
She has no choice. The Americans aren't going to stop.
@@heidenburg5445 she has a choice, she could be a coward and just quit congress, but she cares more about people than her own safety. Ooh Rah !!!
she literally passed bills tht support Israel financially. Can y'all do any research at all? She js jumping on the bandwagon in front of y'all clowns
@@dalya1702how is she jumping on the bandwagon when she’s been calling out Israel from the day she joined politics. You people are so ungrateful. She has the most death threats because she stands up for Palestine. If you are referring to that one bill she voted yes because it included aid to Somalia. She recently voted NO on aid and weapons to Israel.
Discrimination to PRo PALESTINIANs people,
Rogue State!🇺🇸
Their government is a state sponsor of terrorism and genocide implies that decent citizens of America should get on board as well
🙋♂️ is that way you all have equal representation in congress? Or, is it the BILLIONS in foreign aid that have been mismanaged? How about evading the UN Security Council topic of conversation? Or, embedding HAMAS into UN agencies?
Wow- so oppressed.
Didn’t ISRAEL and the UN offered Palestinians statehood seven times?
Lol so oppressed you had to turn down rights & recognition?
The “narrative” comes straight from the Haniyeh horses mouth. And we see you. And we will be seeing you again in Nuremberg. Same enemy different uniforms.
Screw all pro Palestinians !
No, discrimination against students inciting violence. Some pro Palestinians were left alone because they were peaceful.
May the better one win. I do not care who cries the most.
Thank you my fellow Somali sister. This Somali-Canadian from Toronto is very proud of you and how you always stand for Palestinian brothers and sisters.
What are you doing in Canada a Christian country? Why aren't you in Somali to put your country in order? Plus your sister Ilham Omar? I think she can make a very good President for Somali and you her assistant. You will make Somali great like the countries you are living in.

along with the entire idea of a country with a border. If there is no border there is no country. Every american citizen is checked atthe airport gate because we dont want another 9-11,except those who crossed the border without ID. free trip to anywhere in america? really not a word from any one, free of speech at work. If you say anything you are the biggest danger to democracy. The right to remain silent for you.
WOW! THIS IS THE FIGHT OF OUR TIMES! COLONIALISM WILL END!!!
The sooner, the better. It was always wrong right from the start.
Jews lived on that land before Islam or Christianity existed so get off their land and stay off colonizer.
Well done . You can see Nemat squirming. She has no legs to stand on
first time a hypocritical and coporrupt m oh ammudun omar is dealing with another corrupt m ohammudun.
Any discrimination against anyone is fully wrong. But most importantly, the Palestinian people protesting should not meet any hostility anywhere in the world
Crazy to think the style of occupation and dehumanizing happening in Palestine is being imported to US.
Your kidding right. It's the Palestinian protesters that are targeting jews.
Hear Hear!
unless they are inciting violence.
@@jpch8814 Which they are. And Plasticine is just an excuse.
These same private investigators could not be brought in to investigate when chemicals were thrown at students. You sit here saying you won’t accept any “harassment against your students”!!.
All my respect to this woman.The repression of dissent in universities is also happening more and more often in other countries.
Repression of dissent is here and now. Tyranny is on the march.

i hope that those studens who were suspended and wont be allowed back till they "co-operate" take the college to court. a retired cop has 0 power.

From Islam 54 The Book of Tribulations and Portents of the Last Hour
(18)Chapter: The Hour Will Not Begin Until A Man Passes By Another Man's Grave And Wishes That He Was In The Place Of The Deceased, Because Of Calamity(18)بَاب لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَمُرَّ الرَّجُلُ بِقَبْرِ الرَّجُلِ فَيَتَمَنَّى أَنْ يَكُونَ مَكَانَ الْمَيِّتِ مِنْ الْبَلَاءِ

The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

Well said Ilhan Omar!
❤❤❤
Regardless of how calm she seems, the act of condemning innocent people and suspending them until they can prove that they are guilty or not is unconstitutional.
I'm SO GLAD I was TOO DUMB to go to college!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's nothing but an extended and expensive brain washing anyway. Being self taught is the best way and it's FREE.
Columbia President is unconvincing and shows little concern about this serious issue. What a shame!
Sounds like lots of repression going on for criticising Israel
It has been for many many decades.
I would actually say it's the other way around. You guys are just stuck in a tiny bubble.
Criticizing Israel is NOT the same as wanting to destroy the entire nation.
Criticism ≠ Calls for destruction

If you want to stop the genocide then complain to Hamas and the Palestinians.

Freedom of speech when it suits you. Palestinians have never known free speech. Gazans haven't had free press for 15+ years. Peace activists were imprisoned in 2020.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 No Ceasefire
Wtf is the point in "grilling" Shafik, she doesn't look to be the enemy.
Furthemore she is not an assertive personality, as she herself admitted for having normalized being attacked as head of the university.
She's not being 'attacked' she is the subject of questioning in an inquiry. And she is head of the university.
That woman is not capable to be in charge of IVY league university she should reside immediately
After long time I’m so proud of her. May Allah SWT guide her to the right path
Maybe she is already on the right path?
@@MohaniNiza Not always as she support/promotes Qomu Lut which is forbidden in Islam. Also I think it was last year when she supported Israhell so they can get a lot of money and now they’re doing G3nocide with that money today to innocent 🇵🇸
@@halalpolice7544sis I actually did research and she did not vote for aid to Israel. It was a package that included aid to Somalia and 200 other countries. She probably voted yes for Somalia. Also there was a vote two months ago for Israel aid and she voted NO again. If you check her record she’s the most pro Palestine in congress. She even introduced a new bill gojng against the president stopping him from sending weapons. She’s not perfect but she’s better than the rest
@@yasminl8125 You’re right but she did actually say yes to 62B aid to Israhell in 2021(it was israhell alone to all that money and now we see the G3nocide). She also supports Qomu Lut. May Allah SWT guide her and us all to the right path.
@@halalpolice7544Everything the congresswoman is doing she does because of her deep commitment to truth, justice and she manages it using her intelligence, her common sense and she does it freely. I have never seen or heard that her functions in Congress are directed by any God of some fundamentalist religion.

What has Omar done to improve Somalia?...How about the kidnap of girls in Nigeria?.Does she not care about what's happening in her continent??...She wants to join the Free Palestine movement to gain the support of radical Islamists and she might even be paid by them

@@MsBhappy whether she ignores it, or the fact her country of birth doesn't really have much of a government.
It's very well for people like you judging sitting thousands of miles away, without an ounce of understanding of wider issues, just your narrow interests based agenda, but, those girls primary concern is being able to live, like everyone else.
You start forcing cultural changes during already existing mess, you achieve nothing but further hardship for those you're trying to help.
The West has gone through the various cultural evolutions from a position of prosperity, and relative peace, that's how most societies evolve, not during conflict.
How about respecting human life, before crying about some entrenched cultural practices.
