- Antiwar protests sweep across university campuses in the United States. The police response - the violence - has been shocking and so has some of the reporting from the US mainstream media.

During two weeks of protests, journalism students at Columbia University have gone from journalists in training to journalists on the job. Producer Meenakshi Ravi reports on how student reporters have become the primary source of news on campuses.
Mehdi Hasan: US journalists 'whip up hysteria, misrepresent facts on the ground'
Mehdi Hasan, founder and editor-in-chief of Zeteo, discusses how the media portrayal of campus protests against a "genocide" has somehow been even worse than the coverage of the "genocide" itself.

It took me a long time to really see the hypocrisy of the United States of America, but I will never again not be so blind.
Except they aint the majority.
It's was always as you see in the present... Once aain American people live their own history ... USA needs of a political change .. Are the same families in power for decades...
In Deutschland gibt es dazu ein höchst interessantes Buch von Michael Lüders: ,Die scheinheilige Supermacht'.
What hypocricy? Us is clear... their red line is Israel and i agree with them.
Well if you go back in the pass, the number of atrocities committed against humanity by us, and his allies are countless. Western politicians have their hands full of bloodshed, then they called themselves champions of democracy , human rights and free world . Very sad seeing heartless politicians running government with injustice in the eyes of the world 😊
Hypocrisy of American media.
Thank you for not lying and telling the truth Al Jazeera, and calling the protest anti-war.
It’s unbelievable lack of journalistic integrity
Iran massacred anti-hijab activists killing 400 Iranian citizens, did these protesters protest against that?
Israel’s hasbara spread by main stream media to smear students and silence people.
I wonder why I haven't seen the counter protestors on this newsite look at unc and ole miss especially.
Spot On. 🎯
the US mainstream media is an extension of the US intelligence arm and it has been for decades.
"Land of the Free"
Please no more lectures on democracy and freedom of speech. We now see the truth.
Thank you students for defending what is right, standing with human rights, and refusing to accept supporting a genocide. You truely are the bright future we all look towards.
Land of the free means u r not free to support terrorist
Umm democracy = majority> minority.

Protesting against Isreali occupation and genicide is not antisemitic.
Protesting for ceasefire is not support for Hamas.
Indeed
a ceasefire is like firefighters putting out only 80% of a fire and call it a day
If you aren't anti Hamas you're pro genocide

The same reaction in the 60s for the Vietnam war protests. It's very conservative and people don't want to discuss the real issues.
A certain ethnic group wasn't the target of those protests so they got fair coverage.
@@zinjanthropus322 Vietnam protesters famously endured a similar smear campaign.
@@yaycookizYes and some of them died as well, during protest because they were gunned down by the national guards.

Bravo - free Palestine!

This is exactly what I’m seeing too it’s like there trying to start a revolution/civil war.

The way cruel massive American police show aggression against young girls at the university campus is shocking
And back in Watts, Ca in 1965, the police were too scared to enter that combat zone as they were being shot at by people on rooftops.
Trained by IDF
LOL. You're funny
The cops have a chip on their shoulders.These are the same type of girls who were their intellectual and academic superiors at school.
They've gotten the opportunity to grab young girls!
Shame on American democracy
This is an authoritarian state . There is no democracy in the US or any other country in the world except a few in the northern part of Europe. Biden is destroying the US and spreading chaos everywhere. He is the worst president ever.
It’s fascism now democracy is dead the evil Zionist hav taken over the world we the people are not having it they can’t have this government and militaries police going against the first amendment. Stop the lies.Shame on the US government Israeli and UK France Germany and others who support the genocide in Palestine.
Zionist bot@@user-wq6sz7vt3w
Democracy = majority > minority.
If only we had a democracy! We don’t have a voice in this oligarchy of corporations, donors, and MIC. The American citizen is irrelevant to the powerful.
I am absolutely finished with Morning Joe. I was a regular viewer.
Yes, give up on this corrupt outlet!
Let's face it. It is literally impossible to be against what Israel is doing to Gaza without being painted as being anti-semitic. America's commitment to the Jewish state is unconditional so it was never going to be any other way.
And yet I do not know a single American who approves of the state of Israel or being taxed to support it. Even the many Jewish Americans I know are all strongly anti-Israel. I'm past 50 and I don't know where these pro-Israel people are. I don't think they really exist outside gov't and media.
None of these people were bothered when the USA was outfitting Saudi Arabia to bomb the daylights out of Yemen....also leading to high civilian casualties. I think that Jews being involved making them care tells you all you need to know.
Many Jewish politicians, students and professors etc. have stood with the protesters to cease fire etc. Most protests for the last 6 months have been peaceful. It wasn’t until the demands by Governor Abbott, Speaker Johnson, trump and Senator Rick Scott demanded the end of protests and had students arrested did protest become violent. Surprising after the Courts, Police Commissions, PoliceChiefs and other Authorities stated these students were peaceful did counter protesters violently attack protesters calling for cease fire and their tuitions to defund weapons of war against Gaza. I am sure their were isolated cases of antisemitism it has been sadly happening all over the U.S. Just as isolated cases against Islamism too.
Ironically, Palestinians are also Semites by definition.
30,000 dead including 13,000 children that we know of. Combat involves fighting the enemy, not dropping bombs on civilians. All those dead children, why were they considered the enemy. How do you justify their deaths.
Thank you, Al Jazeera from an American who appreciates the truth about what is really happening. I can confirm that our police force has always been brutal toward anyone who takes their grievances public to exercise our right to redress. Our gov labels people crying out for justice as trouble makers and the privileged among us condone the brutal response to valid protest...until it happens to them and then our media feigns shock and dismay that a public discomfort or inconvenience occurred, leaving us with a culture of blaming unrest on those demanding justice. And then the people who needed heard never get their actual grievances addressed in an honest way. We brought this on ourselves by not answering the people crying out for justice for our entire history.
Very well stated!!!!
Be more dramatic lol. These are spoiled, rich kid college students. They never have had a valid point. If they'd protested somewhere that wasn't private property, they'd have been fine. Let's not pretend they didn't know what would happen. Furthermore, Al Jazeera is pro islamic terror. They never have or will condemn it. Don't treat it as news, because it isn't. It's essentially Iranian propaganda
Brilliant insight in one comment. Thank you for expressing the pattern you observe. Hoping for change to begin.
Still, according to international law and principles of human rights, institutions and governments have an obligation to address the grievances raised by protesters in a fair, transparent, and constructive manner.
It is sad to see that these select youth are the only people in America who still have some sense of justice....
Who is the actual president of USA Netneyahu or Biden?
It is not Biden....
Bibi
We need shariah law in USA
both trump and biden take orders from israel
There hasn't been an actual US president since JFK and if we ever get one, the same thing will happen
Truth is Anti-Semetic...
Israel is calling this label to try and shut us up
Yes to Israel and her supporters
According to the Devils who are atracking palestinians and the ones who are silent about the genocide

Thanks Al Jazeera. This was much needed.
Well Said. 💯%
It is called scapegoating where even the mildest criticism of Israel's lunacy is depicted as standing with Hamas and hating Jews. The effect is that the middle ground is intimidated into not voicing their opinions for fear of being branded as extremists.
Can you find me an example of protesters demanding that Hamas surrender? Or at a minimum stop fighting? I'll wait.
@@JOlivier2011 right, an amazing analysis just like the corporate controlled media. So by your logic.
You are open to an idea of being suppressed for more than 70 years, revoked of human rights, treated as animals ready for slaughter for decades, women being raped in prison and in their homes and then one day, you or some piece of your society had enough of this torture and decide to take up arms to defend against Occupiers known by everyone.
And you attacked the occupiers, kidnapped the reserve army civilian and are open to the idea to release them for true peace and are still fighting the true enemy.
And one day, I came here and say surrender your arms to occupiers and people should protest you to stop fighting BCS you don't have any right to defend against Occupiers, what will you really think about it? 😊
I am waiting to hear your thoughts 🤔

These are peaceful protests so why are the police tooled up in a military way? It reminds me of the actions of a military junta.
For thier bright future
When the riots erupted in Watts, CA in 1965, the police were too afraid to enter the combat zone as they were shooting police from rooftops.
Destroying property and harassing Jews is not a Constitutional Right 🥴🥴🥴... Grow up kiddo
@@michaelellringer5600 There is a difference between a riot by a community that has been QUITE historically repressed ( African Americans) and a peaceful protest of 19 and 20 year old college students who are simply exercising their First Amendment rights to bring attention to a failure of US government foreign policy.

The U.S. is the oldest republic in the world & eventually every one fails. We are witness to the collapse of the American Experiment, sad to say. Like the U.S.S.R., the U.S. was a beautiful idea which went horribly wrong.
All of our current congresspeople need to go for not stopping Biden from supporting Israel.
I’m disappointed as well, but both republicans and democrats support Israel.
They are worse than Biden. They have an agenda which is to get rid of palestinians on that land ,erase their history ,their cilture and then proclaim The jewish state of Israel .

When are the Israelis going to free the thousands of Palestinians held illegally in Israeli prisons?
Well, that won't be many students, because the majority in jail weren't students
Thank you aljazeera news and the students
Free the Beautiful America From Israel
that guy who shouted that thing about the Jews wasnt saying it sarcastically... he was found to be a pro Israel guy who earlier had been holding an Israel flag
Should be prosecuted just like a criminal who shouts Fire 🔥 in a crowded Theater would be held liable for those who die in a Stampede to get out. It’s exactly the same situation. I hope those arrested mistakenly do bring charges against him. I hope the University Law School and Professors bring a case against him in Court on behalf of the Victims of his crime.
@@bingatos1879 yeah funny how they arrested peaceful protestors whilst ignoring the guy who actually incited genocide
There are going to be many agent provocateurs from the pro Israeli side along with law enforcement.

Biden knows if he goes full pro palestine he will look like a pro hamas candidate and lose by ALOT. Americans support their allies same with every country. And these college students from Columbia, yale, Harvard, nyu, and ucla are the children of our oppressors. Why would common man that works 40 hours a week support them or even relate to them? These are rich white kid universities. And you support them so whose the one supporting the oppressors?

If most Americans can see the problem the world watching sees the problem then who is controlling elections and ballot access for good humans that can serve the taxpayers
The Zionist control it all, Israel protesters are the ones being violent. The most unsafe place for Jews right now is in The occupied land of Palestine the Israeli part of Palestine is the most dangerous in the world, all due to Netanyahu and his Zionist evil government that is ruling US. This is fascism being portrayed in front of us. If you are against genocide in Palestine,you get arrested for peacefully protesting, antisemitism is being used against the protesters against genocide being carried out by Zionist Not Jews. They are two separate entities. Judaism does not support Zionists in any form. So stop with the misuse of the term antisemitism.
It's not just Russia who has a cabal of billionaire oligarchs.
Vote third party vote for the Green 💚 Party and Dr Jill Stein for President
American here, thank you. Its so good to see this fair and critical eye on us.
Money money money
Thank you Al jazeera
In recent months, I've been emphasizing a crucial point: when we permit barbarism, genocide, and injustices to unfold unchecked in Gaza, or across all of Palestine, we sow the seeds of future turmoil. It's perplexing why some remain steadfast in their stance, perhaps driven by vested interests or entrenched beliefs. Yet, it's essential to recognize that extremism, once ignited, knows no bounds.
Sudan is one example

I love Mendi. If you're not watching Zateo check it out. He has a couple of weekly shows also.
I don't watch censured American stations it's a waste of time.
People are going to have to protest by not enrolling in those universities. You have to fight with boycotting with your money to these places.
These are prestiges and popular universities.If you leave other students will be happy because more spaces are available for them.
GEN-Z are changing this corrupt system 👊😎👏✊✌️💯
The Problem is that Administrators are never asked to justify their support for Genocide, or their endangering their students by siccing roid-rage robo-cops on them.
For decades, we’ve asked… how did the Nazis succeed. We are watching the repeat of Germany of the late 1930’s.
So call most democratic country...
What is democracy? I hope government listens to majority and its voters.
No it Doesn't look like Jan 6 Minka, because there were No Squads of Riot Police to use anything resembling these military police tactics. We never saw the throwing down, slamming, pummeling, knees on chests and backs tactics we're seeing for peaceful play-by-the-rules student protests. We saw it during BLM protests and Standing Rock Protectors encampments, but Jan 6th Insurrectionists with weapons and aggression Toward the tiny amount of Law Enforcement have never been hit with the full force of authoritarian might. Cheers to the brave students.
Exactly! The police have been acting like the IDF have towards the Palestinians. Shameful..😌

Americans need to free themselves from the corrupt political systems, dismantle Zionism, kick out corrupt politicians, ban politicians with dual citizenship, label AIPAC as a foreign entity. A complete overhaul of the political systems. A revolution.
I would say 100% of Congress.
No one gets into positions of power unless they are completely controllable. Just ask Cynthia McKinney.

Thank you so much Al Jazeera for bringing the important information and analysis. ❤❤❤❤❤
It will be interesting to compare the coverage of corporate media for riot in Hong Kong and students protest at UCKA !
The students arent doing anything wrong! But hopefully they fare better as a result of being suspended and expelled from university when they are looking for jobs and when applying to other universities. I certainly hope they are admitted to far better than those in the US. The world is a big place. Theyll manage.
