Defying Intimidation: Student hero of UC Speaks Out Against Israeli genocidal campaign in Gaza " The interview **Reporter:** Joanie **Student:** Christopher **Q:** Joanie: What has unfolded since you arrived on the scene? **A:** Christopher: The campus police moved in just before 5 a.m., and the protesters have been holding the line for 2 hours. It was horrific; they waited until we were all asleep, then stormed in with riot gear, throwing wood planks and chairs, and threatening us with disciplinary action. **Q:** Joanie: What did you do when the police arrived? **A:** Christopher: I tried to make sure everyone was safe. It was chaos and terrifying. **Q:** Joanie: Are you facing disciplinary action for being part of the protest? **A:** Christopher: Yes, they're threatening us with an interim leave of absence and criminal trespass charges. But it doesn't matter; there are things that matter more than my academic future, like the lives of the children being murdered in Gaza. **Q:** Joanie: What's happening at the line where the protesters are standing? **A:** Christopher: They're trying to intimidate us, but we won't back down. Our commitment to Gaza runs deeper than our fears for our safety and careers. **Q:** Joanie: Have you tried talking to the police officers? **A:** Christopher: Yes, I've been asking them what it would take for them to stop following orders. How many kids have to die before they stop violently suppressing our movement and acknowledge the genocide? **Q:** Joanie: Are you a student? **A:** Christopher: Yes, I'm a PhD student. And if I face discipline, I don't care. The blood of the children being murdered in Gaza is on their hands, and I won't be silenced by their threats. He said it real, plain, simple and loud. we gotta stand up for each other, for basic human decency and rights. I'm with him all the way, whatever happens. Justice will win in the end, that's a guarantee.
What I've personally witnessed with the protesters at another university, is that the troublemakers and most militant of those ' student ' protesters are either failing and frustrated students or others that aren't students at all. Those particular protesters are the one's that also influence - at least temporarily - the vast majority of the other protesters as well. (Years from now, the majority of those influenced students will probably look back at themselves with shame)

Nope, a lot of these protests have been organized by non Muslims. Instead of spreading hate, go get educated or even yet, attend a protest to see for yourself! 😃😁

Those that protested should not be allowed to graduate!
Why. It is their right in our democratic system. If you want that kind of a system move to China or Israel
You sounded like Nazi. I thought we are free country here to free expression for the right reason or you rather see the continuation of genocide??
@@taimass1002China don't act like that
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Breaking and entering is against the law.
Lots of criminals in that graduation class.
This news anchor , dressed inappropriately
It looks like she can go to a club not for broadcasting
It’s your perverted mind focusing on what she’s wearing and not what she’s saying. What is she supposed to do? Wear a box?
You can tell the school is hurting for cash when their donors pulled out
Columbia University and other Universities need to reconsider offering Majors in Protest Studies and Social Activist Studies .
They were not peaceful and not pro Palestinian squatting/unrest. It was pro Hamas and anti-Jew. Get the headlines right!
It was not pro anything. It was anti genocide against the idf, which is not antisemitic
@@braydenm9221 what!? Did you watch and read the same thing we have all seen and heard?! Get a f clue dum dum.

What parents would ever send their kids to Columbia now??

Lmao now that the name of the college is ruined and with any chance of decent employment lol
Quatar have been sending billions of dollars of funding towards Ivy League universities. This is the end result.
Yes. I am for the protestors!! Free Gaza!!!
From river to the sea
All,you see is Israeli flags
🇮🇱
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
🦆 Palestine.
Free speech.
Unless republican
A degree from Columbia. Lucifers used toilet paper. Both are basically the same thing, but one costs you 250k.
Says someone who cannot get into Columbia University
@@muhammedsonko2936 lol, as if not being stupid enough to pay to be indoctrinated by leftist scumbags is a thing to be frowned upon.
If you could get into Colombia you would not be saying that nonsense. Bot or just plain ignorant
@@muhammedsonko2936 So says one suffering from Hamas propaganda delirium 😵💫
Congratulations to the class of '24( those who didn't protest)
How petty are you?!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Dude I might be inclined to watch local news if…
It looks like the graduate commencement of an Asian college( perhaps in China?) I can see a lot of Asian faces on the camera ! 😂
Were the Jewish students allowed in
What muslim america will look like. Sad.

Educate yourself. Muslims revere Jesus as a loyal prophet of God (Allah), and have an entire Quran chapter dedicated to Mary (Maryam). They also believe the Bible (Ingeel) was divine in origin, as delivered by Jesus.

In case you’re too ignorant to know this, the Talmud is the divine law for Jews.

I am sure it will be more humane than the current Zionist America.
