You’re trying to convince me that these McFatties are going to skip McBreakfast.
"We will not stop, we will not rest". They most certainly will stop and rest. Let's check back in when the stopping and resting has been finalized.
yo
And yet there you are, enrolled at Princeton.
The fact they dont care enough to stop being students there is funny 😂
At 1:09 it gives off vibes of a Key and Peele skit. lol
The slow pan had me crying
why?
@marvin2678 the slow pan to the whitest guy ever dressed like that? That's hilarious, you have to see the humor in that.
People who have never missed a meal are going to hunger strike? They wint last 24 hours.
what's your point?
didn’t Margret Thatcher say same about Bobby Sands? and we saw how that turned out i.e elected MP and Thatcher having to pass new laws to ban Irish republican prisoners from standing in parliament.
@@Anamouad2125that they're ridiculous comes to mind
@@joewhoa1759 if you don't get the purpose of something Don't call it ridiculous, we have a proverb here in Morocco says: If the cat doesn't reach the piece of meat, he says it's rotten
@@Anamouad2125Or the cat is full....
😂😂😂 “…is on stolen land” but, I totes got in, DEI scholarship-thing, so I choose to overlook that fact because I want to make a sh•tload of money when I graduate.

"it was built on the rubble" 🤣🤣🤣
He's no longer david....he's dawood now.
😂😂😂😂
Awe poor spoiled brats
The fact that the students are allowed to continue the hunger strike for a long time cannot be bothered.
So many ignorant youths in one place...
Svaka cast omladini
They not ignorant or protesting actually
They going old school
Actually, grandma, you got it all wrong. Please don't forget to take your medication.
These are the same students who just a few years ago were screaming about not being protected from Halloween costumes.
@@JB-ti7bl hilarious
They want to be oppressed so bad.
but they are just depressed.
@@Jupiterocks depressed about what?
@@thelmaaugustine2471 Biden will be out of office before they graduate, so they'll be on the hook for their entire student loan?
Would you say the same thing to a white person protesting for civil rights in the 1960s?
brooo 42 000 civilians killed already what are you talking about if you're a hasbara bot just don't reply
Like holding your breath to get what you want as a toddler
Ah yes, protesting genocide is like a child holding their breath. You're very smart, dude. Keep it up kid.
yes.
@@mrcocoloco7200 It's war that Hamas started. why don't you ask Hamas to surrender and return the hostages, including the now 1 year old baby. Sinwar said that he doesn't care if 100,000 die for the cause of wanting to annihilate Israel.
@@mrcocoloco7200 Bet you can't even define genocide
@@Randomdude-td6el You can't do it on your own. I'm sorry to hear that.
having said that, some of this lot could do with going on a diet,
big picnic of unemployment
If the first guy really believes that Princeton's legacy is genocide and is built on stolen land and the backs of the enslaved,why did he choose to go there.
The lack of knowledge of these people about the region is striking. If this is what the most elite students in the US look like, we are indeed witnessing the fall of the empire.
Ili mozda usponu
the corrupt "empire" is already falling
And your knowledge coming from fox news
@@yogeshsangh5127I have a degree in middle eastern studies and get my info from varied sources daily.
ah but you know it all?
For whatever reason the theme of sitcom Laverne and Shirley runs in my head when I hear this?
Hunger strike lol. Okay go ahead. That literally only affects you.
except he knows that he will be saved and get more TV time ?
They quit after a few days lol. Now it’s a new 7 students who are “hunger striking”
Pro-Palestine protester at Princeton says she is "literally shaking" because she is starving and "immunocompromised."
The woman accused the school of purposely "physically weakening" her and her peers.
"This is absolutely unfair. My peers and I, we are starving."
😂🤣
I couldn't stop laughing for fifteen solid minutes listening to her. I expected that to be a The Onion skit.
“I’m literally shaking” 🙄 our future looks bleak looking at these entitled spoiled brats
@@79BobolaCope
What a waste of time 🤦🏻♂️
Their canned statements remind me of ExtictionRebelion/JustStopOil's canned statements
Their speaking is Duckspeak from "1984," where one spouts forth rhetoric without thought. As Symes (I believe) said in the film version (made in 1984), language comes from here [pointing to throat] and not here [pointing to head]. They're all quackers...quack quack.
I recently learned the term "purplewashing" from one of these possessed individuals.
They remind me of when Patty Hearst would call home during her captivity
Israel literally dropped food in huge crates and hamas started shooting people that tried to get the food.
This is a lie stop that.
You are joking .. right ?
@@josecolon5750 youve never heard of the people living in gaza cry and complain about hamas? Because they do all the time. Hamas takes for themselves and leaves people to starve. Israel literally sends food to the country they are at war with, why? Because their own government spends money on rockets and terror tunnels rather than food. Crazy right?
@@josecolon5750 you wish it were a lie. Hamas is a terrorist organization who steals the food tht israel uses to feed gazans. Its hard to believe but its the truth. Youre simply misinformed
where's the update. Its been 8 days. how many gave up?
edit: They all did. After a few days they started a "rotary hunger strike" where the change out every other day or so. I thought the purpose of the hunger strike was to show you are willing to die, but i guess they changed that definition too. From dying for a cause to skipping a meal or two.
Yeah I'd be immunocompromised too if I lived on lentils and vegeburgers
All the protestors sound like ChatGPT
If that's so, then AI is more human than most people
That's because it's where they got their info from.
Are you leaving in a rock?
Ask these protestors their opinion of the Hamas hostages.
You mean the hostages that the IDF shot even when they waved white flags?
They'll scream at you.
When people like you have to say “but hamas” that is you admitting defeat. You know that in a debate on whether or not Israel is committing genocide, it is very hard for you to win given all the evidence, civilian deaths, human rights abuses, concentration camps (CNN has a video on one, and the info coming out of there is straight up N*zi Germany/Mengele stuff), illegal settlements in the West Bank, Israeli official’s basically saying it’s a genocide, etc. so you shift the topic onto something else to avoid a difficult conversation.
Cos play
Deport
Yawn.
wait what, u cut out that massive 400 pound woman pretending to hunger strike for palestine... that was the funny part -.-
We need to start drafting both men and women.
Israel: a thing.
Palestine: not a thing.
😂😂 hasbara bot
If it's not a thing, then why bring it up? It's almost like closing your eyes won't work for ever.
Palastine ❤
@@user-vp2lz4qu5v”Bot.” 😂😂 Might as well have said that you have no counter argument. At least you would be honest.
Expel, jail and deport.
Wow. The Alansnackbar gang is protesting in Princeton.
🤣🤣🤣
The dude that said Gazans were struggling need to talk to HAMAS, they are at fault for their struggles.....
Finally! A way to make our young folks willingly lose weight!
Okay, old man, don't forget to take your medication.
@@mrcocoloco7200 😂 I’m a female in my early 30s - haha - thats funny! Thanks for making my day!
@@bmwfraulein1538oh, you didnt know? early 30s is the new late 50s, atleast thats what my knees tell me every day 😂😂😂
1:29 notice the complete silence in response to this question
Let's all meet at Starbucks for a barista reunion
You sure love Starbucks.
Closed!No trespassing!yellow post notice! Serious arrests!
The students should resign from Princeton now
Cry about it 😢
I dare that the university wouldn't care if this people go for hunger strike. They are not suffering the same way as gaza at all.
Are they still on a hunger strike…I need an update please 😂
For people seeking further education they are remarkably uninformed.
Gullible students who have never done any research
They did. Seems like you didn't.
Looks like she could lose the wait
The most pathetic professional victims.
They're about to lose a lot of weight
Looks like a huge summer camp...I think the students are missing a regular human interaction,like before everyones face was Stoke on a screen
These brave students should prove their courage by going to protest in palestine
Maybe they should drop out of college if they don’t like where their tuition is going.
Maybe you should read a book📚 so you can understand the situation.
3:25 “What we are witnessing across the country is university administration responding and cities responding with repression because they are really threatened materially by what is happening and speaks to how powerful this movement is and how close we are to winning.. so..”
You're starving? Well maybe you should eat something.
Tell that to the children of Gaza.
The children of Gaza have multiplied 10x in number since Israel was established . They weren’t starving until their leaders decided to wage a war they cannot win. Their entire war strategy is literally show pictures of starving children
@@fenrir7878 Maybe you should not start a war with someone you know that has enough power to turn you into dust
History is reapeting itself. It hasn't been even 100 years...
Americans talking about stolen land. I love it.
Criticism of the Israeli government is not antisemitism. Condemning the only real democracy in the ME in favour of a murderous, misogynistic and homophobic terrorist regime definitely is antisemitism.
real democracy ahahahhaaha
They'll eat when no one is looking. . .
How come they are not smart enough to call for a Hamas terrorist surrender as they are defeated? 😮
It won’t last long
The occupation won’t last long
Its will and spreadddd more than you expect just watch and see
Embarrassing
These people are so funny.
Will they still pay taxes?
The world darkness will disappear in near future.
A picnic for a hunger strike. OK.
This from the “brightest” students in the land.
😂🤣😆😆🤣😂
They can do with a few less cheeseburgers😮
David looks like a plug
They're probably drinking protein shakes
Cringe hyper-level
ONLY ONE NARRATIVE ALOWED TO BE SEEN ON HEAR
Если боль других твоей не стала, прожита напрасно жизнь твоя
The fall of Ivy League 😎💥
They won't starve.
They don't have the spine.
They'll just go to their parents 5 bedroom house in Surrey.
Bringing immigration student will be fun they said yeah its fun.
Lol weird people
How many days since they ate? That would be an interesting fact to include in your reporting.... none seem hungry. In fact, was that a table of food, or just drinks...
Focusing on what really matters I see
It's just a love affair a bromance for the season
😂😂😂 bruh I’m so happy I said no to college if this is what colleges are filled with I don’t care for both sides of the protestors just take your bs to those countries your protesting for
Facts 😂
Funny thing is when the conflict ends they will say "look what we did"
One question you are at school to lean something nothing else if you think that you know everything than why are going to school in the first place 😡
If all Americans or Europeans saw what Hamas did on October 7th, they would join the IDF.
we saw dont care
@@djvdtweel we know you don’t care but yet you will praise Palestine/Hamas??!! You certainly are not American but if you are, please consider moving to Palestine…….help YOUR people!
@@thelmaaugustine2471 im european germanic
@@djvdtweel Don’t you dare speak for the rest of us.
The only think they learned well are their pathetic rhymes… they think they can bully their way…. They are great at chanting mantras…. But they have zero solutions…
Go do something constructive... Use your brain.. Go honor a veteran, Help tornado victims, Nobody care if you want to go hungry....
The IDF chief of general staff and all top military commanders are set to hold a press conference. Apparently they're going to end the war and declare an unconditional permanent ceasefire because 2 weird autistic students skipped lunch. It worked!
No one takes lindus seriously
do you really care about Palestinians ?? or you just try to minimize anything in their cause
lol someone doesn't understand what is going on.
@@mrcocoloco7200 it's OK you'll understand eventually.
@@siddharthavicious108 No buddy, sorry if you're probably high. But you're aware that they know that won't stop genocide. They just don't want their school to soppurt I°°°°l. Come on man it doesn't take rocket science to figure that out.
I think the Black girl was also in the BLM Riots
More power to ya..totally agre..yes..go to gaza and join the many people who truly are on a hunger strike..but unlike you..not deliberately 🎉..power to ya 🎉
If these students love Hamas so much and the Palestinians so much, then stop protesting, stop blocking traffic, and get a plane ticket
and go to Gaza and help the people. Stop acting like spoiled brats. Anyone can scream, not everyone can give up their privileged lifestyle
and go to these countries and truly help.
Muppets
Do they really think they will get any sympathy for quote starving themselves. They aren’t being forced to starve themselves It’s their own choice .
They are absolutely showing their ignorance!
Just speak in platitudes, don't confront any facts... these people are the embodiment of the term sheep
Hilarious....
🍕🍟🥓🍔🌭🍿🍔🍔🍔 hungry yet 😂😂😂😂
Pretty dumb, sound reason stands with Israel
They must be getting pretty hungry by now (unless it was simply a stunt for the media and it lasted for all of 20 minutes, but surely these people have serious convictions don't they?)
Love those rhymes.
Yes, I'm sure at some point in the past Princeton's land belonged to ppl other than the present owners. And? No, seriously. And, what does the speaker want to happen? Expropriation? Shall we give all acreage of the USA back to a few million Indians? That's not happening, nor is Israel going to be dissolved.
“All we say to America is, “Be true to what you said on paper.” If I lived in China or even Russia, or any TOTALITARIAN COUNTRY, maybe I could understand some of these ILLEGAL INJUNCTIONS. Maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic FIRST AMENDMENT PRIVILEGES, because they hadn’t committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY. Somewhere I read of the FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Somewhere I read of the FREEDOM OF PRESS. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the RIGHT TO PROTEST FOR RIGHT. And so just as I say, WE AREN’T GOING TO LET DOGS OR WATER HOSES TURN US AROUND, we aren’t going to let any injunction turn us around. WE ARE GOING ON ». April 3rd, 1968, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr; Mason Temple Memphis -
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Will they survive ? Let's hope not.
Reminds me of that always sunny episode when Dennis steals a protesters girlfriend
Have u ever seen any video of the protest in the 60's. The biggest difference I've notices is the camera goes up to any random person, and that student can completely and coherantly explain why they are protesting. And what they believe.
It's a totally difference mind set. Back then u can clearly see and hear, that they are free thinkers and have come to a rational conclusion. Now adays the protestors are told to not speak. They don't seem to be educated on their cause and almost fear speaking without permission. It's actually scary and seems like someone is pulling the strings. These are not the same types of protest and these protestors are scary. I've walked around UCLA, there is a very dangerous and evil vibe. It's kinda of reminded me of the End scene in Apolcypse Now. All those drugged and brainswashed native people. Just looking meancing. Unsure what they would do, lead by a madman
People mischaracterized the protests of the 60s and 70s as well, you are parroting similar sentiments that were used against those protestors as well..
@@MzRose-bb4yb I'm sure they did.
But when u watch video or documentaries about it. The people protesting back then could speak and explain their POV. Plus these protestors seem on the verge of violence, I don't get that vibe from the 60's protest.
yes. they're like the Manson followers. It's like they've been possessed
