Are colleges obstructing free speech for Pro-Palestinian student activists? | UpFront

- Marc Lamont Hill discusses student activism for Palestine with Columbia University student organiser Maryam Alwan.
As Israel’s war on Gaza persists for over half a year, many university students in the United States have expressed solidarity with Palestinians.
Students at Columbia University set up a Gaza solidarity encampment and have called on the University to sever ties to Israel. Tensions escalated on April 18 after school officials called in police to arrest protesters. Dozens of students faced suspensions and were evicted from campus housing.
Since then, similar protests have sprung up from coast to coast - and they’ve been met with similar crackdowns in the name of safety. Is free speech being threatened at American universities?
This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill talks to Maryam Alwan, an organiser with Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine, about what these students are trying to achieve despite attempts to limit free speech on campus.

USA needs some democracy.
its amazing to see , there is no protests happening in Saudi Arabia , Qatar , UAE and Egypt , No Arab nation is willing to help Hamas
We have democracy moron. We invented it.
It's a constitutional Republic, not a democracy.

Who initiated this mess? The Palestinians of Gaza. If you are Jewish you and some Christians are always willing to sacrifice their faith to feel good. Why Muslim s always stand with other Muslim.
islam is lucky there is no camera in khalifa empire. islam is doing big genocide more than israel and no one noticing it
Free USA from AIPAC

Quran says Israel 🇮🇱 43 times no Palestine in Quran.

We don't have to worry about "free Palestine" We now have to worry about "free America"

I don’t care what you believe. I think if you’re being peaceful and following school guidelines, you deserve to have your say. That’s our right as Americans.
The problem is when they block roads, sidewalks and school building so Jews can’t pass. Suggesting Jews should die, saying you’re Hamas, saying from the river to the sea because of the implication. I mean they’re not saying they want to combine the land and share it with the Jews. It’s suggesting Jewish genocide.
Are you fu**ing serious right now? You’re the problem. You can’t break laws and school rules then cry that your free speech has been taken from you.
You people are just so stupid man I’m done with this.
It's an eye opening for the American citizen to understand the freedom of speech, As democratic leader of the world, and what happens to our tax money,
To me it's worse than North Korea,
WE once claimed Saddam Hussain and Gadafi looted all the citizen wealth, Now
i prefer that some private investigator should check all the elected members assets and bank A/C even at swiss bank,
Example Obama served 2 term, when enter POTUS he had nothing but left office worth 70 million ( 8 years x 400000 (400k) salary=3200000 (3.2 million without tax so where did he get 70 million according to google?
Yes, You are right. Free USA from AIPAC
Free America from radical Islam and communist agitation.
Now this beautiful young woman is intelligent, cares about humanity and has given up a lot for humanity. Thank you brave young woman❤. You are protesting for me too because I’m disabled and can’t get out, so thank you for that too!

Free speech my foot. UT has censored probably over a hundred of my posts. The moment you or your comments start to matter, censorship is there.
Is there any free speech in middle east.
Palestinians aren't welcome
Proisrael said in front of media cameras: "We are afraid and feel unsafe about this demonstration😢". but they stood watching and even broke through the pro-Palestinian demonstration😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

If they don't live here, why are they commenting on something they don't know about? Maybe keep their fingers off the keyboard until they learn reality, ok?
A constitutional Republic is a form of democracy. 🤦♂️
Free Palestine
Free Gaza from Hamas.
Start calling things by their right name. Do not call it "war in Gaza." It is "genocide in Palestine. "
Please tell me where the country of Palestine is located. I can't find it on any map.
@@OGKenG Feigning ignorance does not exonerate you. By your comment you just demonstrated you believe in genocide. This is due to your lack of conscience, the main defect which is the hallmark of your tribe. Read Franz Kafka's "The Trial."
The first known mention of Peleset is at the Medinet Habu temple, which refers to the Peleset among those who fought against Egypt during Ramesses III's reign, and the last known is 300 years later on Padiiset's Statue. The Assyrians called the same region "Palashtu/Palastu" or "Pilistu," beginning with Adad-nirari III in the Nimrud Slab in c. 800 BCE through to an Esarhaddon treaty more than a century later. Neither the Egyptian nor the Assyrian sources provided clear regional boundaries for the term. Whilst these inscriptions are often identified with the Biblical Pəlīštīm, i.e. Philistines, the word means different things in different parts of the Bible. The 10 uses in the Torah have undefined boundaries and no meaningful description, and the usage in two later books describing coastal cities in conflict with the Israelites - where the Septuagint instead uses the term "allophuloi" (Αλλόφυλοι, "other nations") - has been interpreted to mean "non-Israelites of the Promised Land".
The term Palestine first appeared in the 5th century BCE when the ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote of a "district of Syria, called Palaistinê" between Phoenicia and Egypt in The Histories. Herodotus provides the first historical reference clearly denoting a wider region than biblical Philistia, as he applied the term to both the coastal and the inland regions such as the Judean Mountains and the Jordan Rift Valley. Later Greek writers such as Aristotle, Polemon and Pausanias also used the word, which was followed by Roman writers such as Ovid, Tibullus, Pomponius Mela, Pliny the Elder, Dio Chrysostom, Statius, Plutarch as well as Roman Judean writers Philo of Alexandria and Josephus. There is no evidence of the name on any Hellenistic coin or inscription.
In the early 2nd century CE, the Roman province called Judaea was renamed Syria Palaestina[a] (literally, "Palestinian Syria"), and also incorporated some other, smaller, territories. This may have occured either before or after the suppression of the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135.
@@OGKenGplease read a book 🙄🙄🙄
@@MK67934
I did read some books. Still can't find a country named Palestine.
Short answer: Yes they are. We pretty much have Free Speech on anything in the US except anything negative involving a certain country in the Middle East.
What a beautiful brave intelligent young woman. Impressive
I hope all these students remember the politicians speaking against the protest in November on Election Day.
These students can't think past the current hot button topic. They can't even pick out the country of Palestine on a map, can they?
Of course they're going to remember! I take these students and their opinions more seriously than 90% of the comments on this subject. These students have done their research, educated themselves on the issues including prior to October 7, they analyze issues in multiple dimensions. And they have values, morals, concern for others that rise above their own individualistic interests, that should be commended.

Thank you, good reporting.
I do not understand why the 🇺🇸 government insists on sending a person such as the 🇺🇸 Secretary of State to Israel to work on completing a deal, and he has not succeeded in a single mission since the war began. Why do they insist on a person who has proven his failure every time? And not only that, but he has made matters worse?! The answer is simple because he is personally the one obstructing the deal
It is just for show. Just like the U.S. talking about a 2 state solution. They have never wanted a 2 state solution. If they did we would have had a 2 state solution decades ago.
Maybe his mission is to make them fail unless Hamas surrenders unconditionally.
Merely ordinary folks are being targeted in Gaza residential area❤❤
Brave students speaking for those without a voice. I’m proud of you.
Hamas has a voice. WTF are you talking about?
When you know what you’re doing is right, and you’re being punished for doing what is morally correct, something is terribly wrong.
That’s the whole world presently😢
This is free country.
Senators must be investigated for AIPAC links
Salam Salam to all the brave students of America Europe
Building a tent city on a nice lawn and harassing Jewish students has nothing to do with "free speech".
Indeed
No, elaborate more, please? I could argue with you that the law enforcement aggression against the protesters is unjustified, excessive and an attempt to subjugate one's right to free speech.
Where were all these police and there aggression when Trumps mob stormed the capital building, incited by Trump and his media allies...
*It's time to raise all your Voices against extreme brutality of Israel on Palestinian innocent children, helpless women 🇵🇸✊ If you remain silence then you're not human.*
You are not human.
Hey Marc,is this the Vietnam moment? Watching in South Africa.

Qatar talking about democracy 😂😂😂
"We are all judged by what we do at home and not what we say abroad.”
It clearly states in the university rules that demonstration is protected activity
Is there free Speech in Qatar, Saudi Arabia? 😂
Keep up the great work protesting❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇨🇦
No it is mainly to prevent illegal encampment on private university grounds. They to leave but the students did not comply.
Why the migrant students blame democratic countries for the political issues/ decision? Why there are no University worth the name in their own countries where students can pursue a quality education?
So sad . So helpless these students
Thank you for standing up for humanity & justice 🙏
😂 good one
