- While receiving an honorary degree from Acadia University today, author, activist, professor, and Breach columnist El Jones praises students across the country who are “standing against a genocide” in Gaza.
“Over the past few months, we have been told that it is our words and not bombs that are harmful and violent.”

Brave lady, thank you Jones from a Palestinian who couldn’t see Palestine until he become 54 yrs old via a visiting visa.
No such place
God bless you! What an amazing HUMAN you are 🥲 Thank you for your beautiful and must needed speech ❤️
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! Must be shared far and wide!
Thank you for your true voices for justice ⚖ for Palestine 🇵🇸 human beings..for Humanity.
Education power is not for killing each other Education power is a greater responsibility to help and support one another justly with truthfulness.
Truth is Truth. Many world leaders have forgotten the meaning of words like honesty integrity and passion. It is time the electorate shows them.
The world is learning of late from Yahya Shinwar and his friends. This lady reminds me of the term "useful idiots"
Inspiring. TY for posting.
Bravo young lady with a human conscience
Your speech is powerful, heartwarming and needed. Thank you for speaking up against oppression of Palestinians. May justice me served soon. Thank you!
well done
What an excellent speech from an honouranle woman, and yes for those of you who are standing for the truth and justice your names will be known to where it matters most.
Beautifully said...
Absolutely perfect...
Thank you.
.
Even if no one ever gets to know what we did, we still will, and that's what matters most. Knowing we did the right thing follows us until the end of our reasoning 🇵🇸
Thanks Dr EL Jones. You have a wonderful heart
Well spoken very elocuentely said , brave young lady 👏👏❤
Absolutely Beautiful! Breathtaking! Elegant! Humble! These words describe just some of what I heard, saw, and felt in my soul from this amazing young woman, Dr. El Jones! WOW! 🍉🙏
Thank you De. El Jones ❤ Free, Free, ETERNAL PALESTINE ❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️
Wow! what a speech. I got goosebumps. Thank you, Dr El Jones.
So so true! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a beautiful speach. Utter cowards in the audience refusing to clap 🙄
Maybe the “utter cowards” disagree. Perhaps they are courageous enough to resist the peer pressure from all of the cowards going along like sheep either the simplistic, acontextual, pro-Palestine narrative being promoted by the protesters. ,
@@jeffreywise4807I would not clap, I have been known to get up and walk away from stuff I disagree with.
@@jeffreywise4807 says the person defending Israel....
Their "feelings" got hurt, hence just sitting there like a sheep they are :)
@jeffreywise4807 Turning a blind eye to atrocity is dispicable. You're on the right side of history, young lady. And you made an amazing speech👏👏.
Great speakers thanks
Powerful and inspiring
Love you and appreciate your solidarity and for your humanity 🇵🇸✊🏽❤️
Brave and moral woman....
Thank you for standing up for humanity
Sorry, but you have your definition of humanity back to front. Don't you think the people killed and kidnapped by the terrorist group Hamas on Oct 7th deserve justice and to be treated humanely? . What about the kidnapped being raped and tortured???
Thank you El Jones. Excellent speech!
Thank you
Well said sister 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 God bless you for speaking Truth to power. Congratulations to all the graduates 🎓
