Standing up for humanity and against genocide is Not anti-Semitic.
Especially, when countless Jewish people are standing up to protest against this brutality! This is not antisemitic this is antiZionist.
Don't worry:
Zionism was created in Germany.
Zionist settlers came from Europe.
Zionists are not Semites.
The Arabs are the true Semites
Zionism itself is antisemitic
It is time to reclaim Judaism from Zionism.
The Israeli lobby in the US is powerful and undemocratic
Imagine having to protest against a genocide. What a depraved world we are living in.
🎯👍🏻
spot on...only sociopaths are angry that a handful of humans still have empathy and compassion for others ... how dare we call out evil empire posing as the good guys
🎯
From the river to the see trans muslums will be free.
This 💯 It's a sad time we're living in.
Respect your support for Palestinian innocents
Bravo my dear child for your team and yourself for the humanity… Free Palestine 🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭
If she is really your child it means you are blessed.
May God bless her for fighting for the truth
@@user-cu2es6ok6j i'd wager the 'my child' part of his comment is meant to be a sentimental idiom a person would say to their junior they are in general agreement with over a particular theme in an affectionate fashion, my friend.
tip: you are not really my friend, since i don't actually know you - in case my comment left you confused.
This isn’t the Palestinian flag.
It’s the flag of weteren Sahara. 🇪🇭
Palestinian flag is 🇵🇸
@@AliTheHighestPalestinian supporters don’t even know the flag they are protesting for 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@xplicitgoofy1015these types support whatever the current trend is…
These kids are amazing. They have found their voices. There is hope for the future.🙂👍
We adults mostly are too busy with bank loans that we forget about our conscience.
Thank you all💪❤️
Brilliant display by this lady
she's so young and her language is so innocent, but her ideas are deep and well-founded. amazing harvard student.
I was moved and cried this young Jewish young adults understand the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza ,the on going genocide happening horrific
What is genocide?
This is not genocide. This is a war caused by hamas
They are bringing hope for the future of this country and western civilization.
Very intelligent and eloquent young woman.
Love our students!!! Keep it up. Don't allow the pro-genocide activists to get you off message💪
What is genocide?
@@tylerturducken519 God help you, if you don't know
Do you? How about a definition?
@@tylerturducken519 we're done here guy. I hope you gain a moral compass someday
We’re “done” because you can’t answer the question I asked. Or you are unwilling to.
Violet I am so proud of you. There is hope for the USA and humanity because of young people like you. May you be heard and have your voices heard. ❤️❤️❤️
Big respect for you guys....❤
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Thank you.
Leve Palestina 🇵🇸
Love and Respect to ALL the young people standing for Justice, YOU have Restored our faith in Humanity 💛💛💛
Proud of our young generation standing up for truth and to end war on innocent in Gaza
What is genocide?
@@tylerturducken519 You should start by reading the 10 stages of genocide, you'll notice that Palestine checks every box.
Thank you to all the students standing for humanity.❤️
FREE PALESTINE🇵🇸❤️🍉
this been happening for almost a century, not 200 days
Im sure, she knows that as being a student from Harvard .. she basically talking about what has been revealed to the people and killed live on TV in front of the world has been 200 days dummy
There are mistakes that can kill children in the most ruthless way imaginable.
Entire family lines wiped out, what does that remind you of?
Entire families ??? That's what hamas says. Where are these entire names
It reminds me that hamas has integrated its military operations into civilian infrastructure.
Thank u for the tour, I wish you students the best . Yall are heroes for the millions of us Americans who can’t get to the protests because of intense work/life pressures or geographical reasons.
We are sending you our love 🙏
Would CNN or FOX dare to interview those brave students???
Thank you beautiful young lady. Such a pleasure to see the youth stand on the side of humanity. Im ashamed of my generation who are in responsible positions of power that could stop this especially those that claim to be Christian. Without question all the commandments of our prophets fall on this one basic act of service to our Lord. Love God with all your heart and soul and Love thy neighbour as yourself. James 2 for Christians is important as faith without works is dead. Thank you for your bravery. ❤.
Well said.
Very noble souls, these young brave students. May the future be theirs. The world will be in better hands.
Thank you ❤ STUDENTS OF AMERICA ...STOP GENOCIDE IN GAZA 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
What is genocide?
@@tylerturducken519
The Genocide Convention was conceived largely in response to World War II, which saw atrocities such as the Holocaust that lacked an adequate description or legal definition. Polish-Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin, who had coined the term genocide in 1944 to describe Nazi policies in occupied Europe and the Armenian genocide, campaigned for its recognition as a crime under international law.[2] This culminated in 1946 in a landmark resolution by the General Assembly that recognized genocide as an international crime and called for the creation of a binding treaty to prevent and punish its perpetration.[3] Subsequent discussions and negotiations among UN member states resulted in the CPPCG.
The Convention defines genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group." These five acts include killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.[4] The convention further criminalizes "complicity, attempt, or incitement of its commission." Member states are prohibited from engaging in genocide and obligated to pursue the enforcement of this prohibition. All perpetrators are to be tried regardless of whether they are private individuals, public officials, or political leaders with sovereign immunity.
The CPPCG has influenced law at both the national and international level. Its definition of genocide has been adopted by international and hybrid tribunals, such as the International Criminal Court, and incorporated into the domestic law of several countries.[5] Its provisions are widely considered to be reflective of customary law and therefore binding on all nations whether or not they are parties. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has likewise ruled that the principles underlying the Convention represent a peremptory norm against genocide that no government can derogate.[6] The Genocide Convention authorizes the mandatory jurisdiction of the ICJ to adjudicate disputes, leading to international litigation such as the Rohingya genocide case and dispute over the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
@@tylerturducken519
Article 2 of the Convention defines genocide as:
... any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
- Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article 2[7]
Article 3 defines the crimes that can be punished under the convention:
(a) Genocide;
(b) Conspiracy to commit genocide;
(c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide;
(d) Attempt to commit genocide;
(e) Complicity in genocide.
- Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, Article 3[7]
The convention was passed to outlaw actions similar to the Armenian genocide and the Holocaust.[8]
The first draft of the Convention included political killing, but the USSR[9] along with some other nations would not accept that actions against groups identified as holding similar political opinions or social status would constitute genocide,[10] so these stipulations were subsequently removed in a political and diplomatic compromise.
Early drafts also included acts of cultural destruction in the concept of genocide, but these were opposed by former European colonial powers and some settler countries.[11] Such acts, which Lemkin saw as part and parcel of the concept of genocide, have since often been discussed as cultural genocide (a term also not enshrined in international law). In June 2021, the International Criminal Court issued new guidelines for how cultural destruction, when occurring alongside other recognized acts of genocide, can potentially be corroborating evidence for the intent of the crime of genocide.[12]
@@tylerturducken519
153 state parties to the Genocide Convention-representing the vast majority of sovereign nations-with the most recent being Mauritius, on 8 July 2019; one state, the Dominican Republic, has signed but not ratified the treaty. Forty-four states have neither signed nor ratified the convention.
Despite its delegates playing a key role in drafting the convention, the United States did not become a party until 1988-a full forty years after it was opened for signature[13]-and did so only with reservations precluding punishment of the country if it were ever accused of genocide.[14] These were due to traditional American suspicion of any international authority that could override US law. U.S. ratification of the convention was owed in large part to campaigning by Senator William Proxmire, who addressed the Senate in support of the treaty every day it was in session between 1967 and 1986.[15]
Reservations
Immunity from prosecutions
Several parties conditioned their ratification of the Convention on reservations that grant immunity from prosecution for genocide without the consent of the national government:[16][17]
Israel
Main article: South Africa v. Israel (Genocide Convention)
In December 2023 South Africa formally accused Israel of violating the Genocide Convention, filing the case South Africa v. Israel (Genocide Convention), due to Israel's actions during the Israel-Hamas War. In addition to starting the litigation process, South Africa also asked the International Court of Justice to demand that Israel cease their military operations in the Gaza Strip as a provisional measure.[31][32]
@@doromohammadaiman3447 That's exactly right. You may notice that "killing members of a group", for example, is not sufficient to establish the article has been violated - it's also necessary to establish that the killing was done with the intent to damage a national/ethnic/racial group.
This is where it becomes very difficult to establish israel's intentions. Israel was attacked by hamas. Isn't it possible israel's killings of gazan civilians results from an israeli motivation to be secure against future hamas-instigated massacres? If this is the case, isn't it possible israel has no intention of harming a national/ethnic/racial group; rather their motivation is entirely valid?
Do you disagree? Do you *know* israel is not only motivated to be secure from future attacks?
So proud this this youngsters and those that supporting the movement
This is humanity
If one is in the whole community feels the pain
Just as the mother
feels the pain of a child
So proud of them
Free Palestine
Stop the genocide
anti-semitism and islamophobia are one and the same and is the opposite of anti-israel and anti-zionism. People are fooled into believing anti-zionism is anti-semitism
What is anti-Zionism? Or how about telling me what Zionism is.
How do you define "zionism"? Jews will define it as "the right for jews to self-determine in their indigenous homeland", and they will therefore feel that an anti-zionist stance is in contradiction of their valid and heartfelt belief. This is a reason that jews feel threatened by anti-zionist sentiment: it is targetted directly at their identity.
Wanting the destruction of the only Jewish state in the world is in fact anti-semitism whether you like it or not
❤❤❤ Thank you so much
The future of humanity seems less dark, with beacons of light appearing among our youth. They are our hope, for a better world, for everyone.
Thanks for supporting truth
Thank u brave lady😢
Thank you
SILENCE is Not an Option...
Good young woman! Keep up your great work.
What a zealous young lady. Keep up the good work!
These kids are amazing they will be remembered for their courage and humanity
Think of a scenario: someone came into your house as a guest and you let them stay. But within a few days he said that he's also the owner of the house, and after a few more days he kicked you out of YOUR OWN HOUSE.
The same thing happened with the people of Palestine, they were the house owner and now Israel forcefully trying to kick them out of their own lands.
Yeah that’s not what happened.
Owner of lands were ottomans, before them the Arab colonists who came in and took jewish lands.
this is Americas hope for a better future, these people are potential leaders...
SEMPER FI
May I send a big cyber hug to this young lady. Much respect.
Please keep up the pressure! All of US need to step up OUR protests and communications.
2.3 Million Palestinian are trapped in the small area for years and now they are being bombarded, much like concentration camps of WWII, only the Nazis showed this levels of cruelty in history and now Israel is repeating the same mistake.
WORSE THAN N@ZI. DEMONIC SADISTIC MONSTERS💔
so why doesn't Egypt let them go out? it drives me crazy that Egypt has their military at their border with gaza, trapping the gazans inside
You clearly do not know how concentration camps during WWII were yet wanted to make a random comparison 🤣🤣
Poor understanding of history. Hamas massacred 1000+ israelis on oct 7th. Did jews massacre 1000+ nazis in germany in the 1930s?
Nazis had no valid motivation for their actions against jews. Israelis are responding to oct 7th. Don't israelis have valid motivation, whereas nazis didn't? How can you possibly compare the two? By comparing the two, haven't you illustrated you are an ideologue, or completely misinformed, or both?
@@RK-nf4sd Egypt isn't trapping them, it's a whole other country, the violence and imprisonment is being committed by Israel.
Thank you & keep up the good work!
Young people, lots rests on your shoulders! Free us all!
It is these people that makes me feel the world still have hope.
I love these kids.
They have pushed back against censor culture
Until Palestine is free Until People of the world is Free. ✊
It's heartbreaking to see that an entire population and their hometowns in Gaza are being wiped out infront of our own eyes! 💔
Great job I really appreciate your efforts. Free Free Palestine
Humanity lives
Israel and their supporters policies are well exposed to the world 🌍
TY for your clarity and courage and standing on the right side of history!!

Thank you for your humanity stay strong free Palestine save the children 😔🇵🇸☮️☮️☮️🤲👏👏👏👏👏👏
I am in tears. These students are incredible ❤
Salam alaikum my dear child. God bless you all
It is heart warming that young Jewish people who live outside Israel can open up their mind like this. Jewish in Israel tend to be so full of themselves and have no desire to look at things from different point of view. Maybe all Jewish people should get out of their bubble in Israel and let their people mingle more with people who are different than them to be able to feel more sympathy towards others.
You are on the right side of history and you are brave and courageous. The world needs future leaders that stand up for peace with justice and you are one of them.
✊🏼🇵🇸🇿🇦
AWESOMENESS!!!❤
Absolutely on point. 10/10.

Young people are discovering their power 👏👏👏
These kids are so naive and have no clues. Most of them have never been to Israel.
Thanks a million to you all.
"One people's safety cannot rest on the subjugation of another people." How well this young girl has articulated these students' stance! 👏👏
Thank your for speaking up for those without a voice and standing up for the helpless ❤
Brave and honorable young lady, another hope for humanity. Wishing you the very best 🙏

Thank you for your undeniable bravery! Kudos to free people of the world especially university students!
And the Zi’s say that these students have no idea what they’re on about. I’ve been over the University of Melbourne (local to me) and the students at the campsite there know exactly what’s going on. It’s sad that it’s up to students to lead the way, again. Keep going✊🏾
Thank you humanity
Your work is so important.
Thank you for keeping up with all that!
It is so good to experience young people with a working morale and a sense of justice, and having the bravery to confront all the supporters of genocide.
You are doing the right thing. Please don't ever let the z enablers convince you otherwise 😊❤🇵🇸
thanks for sharing this!! power to the people
