Go to class and then pay for your own tuition. Don’t skip class to share your opinion then ask us to pay for your failed education.
who asked you to pay? Lol
Would you say that to the Boomers that were against the Vietnam War?
Or do you only fight for the First Amendment right when it's your side that wants it?
@@James-oj8kq Where do you think the money for financial aid comes from? It comes from taxpayers. People like this are taking food out of YOUR MOUTH today with the promise that they will pay it back later; if they *don't* get their education because they're bust demonstrating that they *don't* understand the thing they're protesting then they will FAIL at getting their education and can't pay back what taxpayers LOANED to them.
Tell me you aren't a college student or graduate; because you really should be aware of how this works.

Is calling for a repeat of Oct 7th, again and again a part of your peace plan?
Of course not. On the contrary. From the river to the sea and “free Palestine” is not a two solution, it’s the entire land (Israel) without a Jewish state. Jews would not have sovereignty.
Who care?
@@janah8 While in the USA, go to school so you can use the correct English! Then you can go back in your cave.
The ask project on youtube Palestinians were interviewed about what “ from the river to sea “ means to them and they had either said one state where palestians rule but Jews were allowed to live there. Some said a two state solution where Palestinians would no longer be occupied and free to roam and very few said that Jews need to leave Levant.
@@donramon9723oh? Just like Jews could live in Gaza? In Israel Palestinians were allowed to live peacefully, work, hold positions of power and office.
Be honest.
These school admins will never divest. They're a business. Everyone's just a business now. I'm 25 and honestly it's hard to take. The schools preach all this about helping the next generation and supporting their students, but the reality is if Palestine had the funds to endow these schools and Israel didn't this situation would be the flipped equivalent. Meanwhile it costs Columbia and NYU students upwards of 80000 dollars to get a degree that's losing it's worth by the day, going into a job market that's simultaneously oversaturated and shrinking because of technology, and potentially never owning their own homes. We're not whiny kids, we're afraid for our future.
And support Trump and Hamas won’t help you.
Arabs donate billions to US schools. It's a grift.
This is such bs. You can absolutely divest from individual donors and from exchange programs. Please stop promoting nonsense.
well, it has to be done gradually. They do not want to divest b the stock market will go down and the want to make $. All congress people are invested in those companies too.
Omg! A company cares more about profit then the people 😮😮😮 STOP THE PRESSES!
😂😂
Sounds like a valid ask to me
Lazy students just want to play outside, not studying in class. Why wasting money for them.
most likely they answered an add to get paid good money. Root of all evil and who paid them are giggeling saying DA'ses.
Yes, students need to pay for their own tuition, we need to save money to send it to Israel!
You have to start paying off US debt 😂 go to US debt clock. It is impressive.
They are protesting because they are bored living in mom and dads basement
Is that what israeli propaganda told you lol...more like stop sending billions to your israeli buddies
They're college students who are likely more educated then you

You can ask not to invest in sin stocks for example. Las Vegas casinos
Yeah devest my tax dollars going to their school and scholarships, student loan debt forgiveness, lets really devest
I'm pretty sure that's what they are protesting for
Similar to put sanctions to Russia ?
Why aren’t they buying tickets and flying out there to help!? I don’t understand. Complaining is doing what exactly!?
it was explained at the begining of the video.
they don't want to go over there and "help", whatever that means, they don't want their colleges investing in the military industrial complex. they want the slaughter to stop.
It's about divestment. The students don't want their tuition funding genocide!
Absolutely nothing.
Because they are cowards. They wouldn’t last 5 minutes there. They beg to back here just to find something else to cry and whine about. Sad thing is we would let them. Criminals thrive on the tolerance of society. My question is when will the American people get fed up with it.
2 colleges have already divested from Israel, many others are considering it.
What?! That’s ridiculous
If you would just ignore them instead of promoting it all over the news it would all go away …
What could they possibly hope to achieve?
Those kids have no FN idea why their protesting
$92 billion of your $ going to Ukraine, Ushahell, and …
Children need to return to classes or be removed from universities.
If only Zionists were accepted, the classes would be empty.
Send them to Palestine!
Sad, you don’t know Israel controls everything that goes in and out. Tell Israel to let Palestinians in as they rejected the right to return. Advocate with students if you want to return them to Palestine
Stop supporting oppressors so there’s no need for Palestinians to leave their land!!! Make some sense! Stop working against your own wishes

We stopped Vietnam by protesting, and the establishment fears we can stop the wars in Ukraine, Gaza and more...
And guess which party the protesters will vote for? The one that funded the Palestinians and sold arms to Israel, the one that watched as Russia invaded and took over Ukraine's Crimea, the one that left hundreds of millions of weapons to the Taliban, and the one that sent millions to the terrorist country Iran.
We need to stop Netanyahu, Putin, and Hamas. All 3 are 👹
And we were winning the war in Vietnam until the media and politicians got involved, thus creating you protestors.
Lol you couldn’t find Vietnam on a map
You do understand that this is two different countries fighting right? Whereas before in Vietnam, it was America fighting. Our actual soldiers were being killed. People are so stupid. It's crazy. America needs a lesson man.
Why wouldn't they be? Genocide is bad!!!
October seventh is genocide

So, I’m gonna pull all my money from the 457 at work, I’m depositing money into it so that vanguard and black rock can use it at their leisure. So I would rather pull it out, and use it to pay off my car or home, and then I can retire early and find a way to gain passive income, sell veggies, yard sales, trade with neighbors, since I’m low income, get some food stamps, pay low income on utilities, I’ve traveled, raised kids, all I want is my back yard, local beaches (free) and fishing and garden of veggies, what more can I ask for? I call that leisure, freedom, and harmony. 💗💗💗🍀🍀🍀🍉🍉🍉
❤
Such a waste of time. If these kids really wanted to make a difference they would travel to DC and protest in front of the White House. Yet. crickets.
They are Muslims and have family over in Gaza look at the pictures
I seriously doubt Gays for Palestine are Muslim or have families over there.
look at pictures of Syria. Were you speaking up when over 500,000 were killed?
All ethnicities and religions are there including Jews, this is not a Muslim thing.
I'm sure there are some, what is your point? If the holocaust was happening now and I saw jews protesting against it, it wouldn't make their cause any less just, it would be expected and not surprising at all.
Im more concerned about my van than Palestine, to answer her reteric.
We need to take our 401s and 457s and cash them out.
•pay yourself, why give them your money earning only 2.5%, if borrow it from yourself, you pay yourself back 9.5%
• either borrow it from yourself or cash h it out altogether and pay off big debts
• seek passive incomes: sell stuff tax free (ie: yard sales), bake sales, grow veggies & sell them, or trade for eggs from neighbors raising hens, etc.
• post videos on RUclips TikTok
• volunteer for online mental health groups and earn stipends (tax free) $25/hr each 2x’s per wk=$209/month tax free
LOL not this guy implying that equity firms are hard to come by! There are 11,218 private US equity firms, MANY of which do not hold defense industry stocks.
If it’s a felony to threaten a City Counsel with violence and death, then why haven’t the students and faculty involved in this been charged? And where the hell are the parents of these students!?
1. Immediate arrest of all students and faculty for threats of death/bodily harm.
2. Immediate expulsion /removal of any student or faculty member involved.
3. Immediate deportation of any foreign student involved.
4. Loss of all government loans grants to schools and students involved, and reinstatement of any student loans owed.
5. Hold parents responsible for damages to campuses.
6. Jewish students should press charges against, and sue school, faculty and any protestors involved for violating their human rights.
We don’t know if the student are actually protesting as we sal at Columbia university 70 percent of the arrest were not even from the school. And an estimated 32 out of 100 people were students rest were adults from other places creating false precedent that “students” are protesting
Theyre protesting because yall keep reporting on it
Arrest, expel and defund
Because the media and internet have them believing their voice matters. Do you honestly think either of the 2 countries in question care what these kids are saying during a camping trip to the front lawn. Cmon.
They are shedding light on how they are all earning from war.
Are the students prepared to pay a higher tuitions?
If im gonna free anything im gonna start with hot wings.
The Palestinians protesters should mix in some US and Israeli flags to show unity and diversity and make the counter protests look like small outcasts.
Because their handlers told them to protest.
Our demand is a free Palestinian state.
Yes you keep saying that. What is your proposed solution other than "from the river to the sea?" Because in case you haven't noticed that's not working out too well. Neither is screaming mobs at US college campuses. So, what do you suggest to resolve this?
@@SusannahLockett 1. stop funding lsreal with our US tax dollars

METHAMPHETAMINE MECHANISM IS MAIN MADE MATTER OF PROTESTS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WORLD WIDE !!!
Sure why not I'm sure universities would love to raise their tuition while taking more money
Many arrested are not students !
If I pay $60,000 to go to the school and I think $500-$2,000 of it is directly going to fund and aid a war that I do not agree with WITHOUT PRIOR CONSENT from me…THEN I HAVE A REASON TO PROTEST!
But reality shows most of these students with tuitions of 60k a year don't actually pay their own tuitions...so maybe they should focus on their studies instead being that their ride is free
@@DP-pj7qn There are a million reasons to protest this war. If you don't want our taxes going to murdering that's one thing.
I think the student should go to Gaza, and since when do students tell the university what to do
Because they are idealistic and have no life experiences.
Im obese and I don't understand the problems at hand!!! Who can I scream at!!
You can always pray about it.
Might as well take over an Arby’s to protest breast cancer.
The attack came from Hamas originally, I am trying to figure out how can a extreme group (Hamas) cause so much division between allies in Israel and Palestine. before you jump on a side look at the source, common folks we are hopefully more intelligent than what we are seeing, Read the history first and maybe we will all understand and we will stop the assumptions and stand for whats right. i believe a country has a right to defend themselves instead of laying down.

I thought Hamas attacked Israel first this time.
Because they have both knowledge and conscious; because their hearts are pure and they are not attached to interests, that is why.

What happened with Apartheid in SA? Many companies even municipalities divested in the 80's. People protested in US to divest. Did this happen on University?
That was also unfair. But apartheid was about democracy.
Huhh, what do the Arab FASCISTS advocate? Nazis also advocated divesting from Jews.
Just wanted to know if universities protest Apartheid. I don't know.

Yep, just sickening. These are the lowest of the low. All of those vets and officers who have given so much for this country to be alive to see this. Gut wrenching. It is the complete failure of the universities to accept these students with such a horrible high school education and low moral compass.
that makes no sense. unless you're racist.
That wasn't Palestinians fighting for human rights that was Osama from Saudi Arabia, unless of course you think all Arabs are the same and if one Arab commits a crime against someone from somewhere, we are all responsible? and then you have the nerve to call me racist because I want human rights for Palestinians which is apparently too much to ask and makes me a terrorist apologist/sympathizer.
Wrong! They may share a religion, but it’s a completely different people and country. Palestinians were not involved in 9/11. Saudi Arabia, you know the ones that paid Kushner his $2billlion, were very involved in 9/11.
At time stamp :40. Does this demand include abortion of fetus',babies and or infants? She's talking about human lives here. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

because college students thought they are smarter than others.

Remember the very "First Amendment to the UNITED STATES Constitution" "“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Yes, you are very right.
Violence and antisemitism are not free speech
Encampments and barricading inside university buildings is illegal though, and to continue to repeat the arrests are against the 1st amendment is being completely disingenuous.
You're free speech can't infringe on other rights, since there have been added civil rights since the first amendment it means you can't block access to schools from other students or block people right to travel freely
@@sweetliquidsnake true and correct; Free speech, as long as you don't harass others

So you are cool with no Israeli technology then? Sucks for defense, let alone your phone…
When I was at Howard University, we protested to the university to urge it to divest in apartheid South Africa!! Finally, HU and almost all HBCUs did the same. Shortly after, Nelson Mandela was freed after being imprisoned for 27 years, and FW deClerk declared the end of apartheid. These noble students are following the course of activist history!! Good on them!! Hate if you must, but they are in the right side of history!!
I don't recall Nelson Mandela committing any crimes and mass killings of civilians on the same size and large scale and as horrific as Hamas did on October 7, 2023. The right side of history is that Hamas needs to go (leave power and surrender) and they need to pay for what they did on October 7. Any protests should be a protest against Hamas, as anything else is a protest in support of Hamas and terrorism and is wrong.
What do you mean why? Isn’t it obvious so many people have spoken up?
The only thing Is Real fears more than the truth is the Justice that comes with it.

Nothing moral requires authority. Authority is the claim to the exclusive exemption to morality. It is a monopoly on violence. Violence is a violation because it is the initiation of aggression, not self-defense. Offense/defense are ontologically distinct. All crime has a legal equivalent (ie, taxation is extortion).

Ritualistic classifying surgery as a means of psychic castration, like circumcision and sub-incision, are hallmarks of patriarchal culture, a demonstration to the young that the venerable old ones still wield the all-powerful knife - and the beginning of transsexualism. Those who do not perform the cult's rite can never enjoy full social status.
Symbols of the castrated member, the tie and bow-tie, are mandatory accoutrements of the political wardrobe and phallic monuments are erected to commemorate the minds conquered long ago. Brute force is no longer necessary.
The capitalist priest class of Psychiatry, working in tandem with the State bureaucracy, regulates and polices the new Restriction and gelding of desire. Psychiatrists, along with other legal arbiters, help to obscure justice with grey areas of intentionality, mental state, etc.

All modern illnesses come from the absurd and tragic struggle of man's inability to bridle Nature.

"Everything is metamorphosed into its opposite to perpetuate itself in its expurgated form. All the powers, all the institutions speak of themselves through denial, in order to attempt, by simulating death, to escape their real death throes. [...] For example: it would be interesting to see whether the repressive apparatus would not react more violently to a simulated holdup than to a real holdup. Because the latter does nothing but disturb the order of things, the right to property, whereas the former attacks the reality principle itself." - Jean Baudrillard (Simulacra & Simulation - 1981)
"Our rulers, who rule our symbols, and so rule a symbolic class of life, impose their own infantilism on our instituitions, educational methods, and doctrines. This leads to maladjustment of the incoming generations which, being born into, are forced to develop under the un-natural (for man) semantic conditions imposed on them. In turn, they produce leaders afflicted with the old animalistic limitations. The vicious circle is completed; it results in a general state of human un-sanity, reflected again in our instituitions. And so it goes, on and on." - Alfred Korzybski (Science and Sanity: An Introduction to Non-Aristotelian Systems and General Semantics - 1933)

"Leadership in government is political power, and political power is an official form of antagonizing the people. Politics are rules imposed upon the people.
