Nancy Pelosi, how come you are not calling this "what a beautiful sight"? How come you are not calling this police brutality and US is a police state?
pelosi has dementia.
She said "a beautiful sight to behold" when there was riots (violent protest) and she called the action by the police “brutality” caused by “repressive government“
@@abcabc2680lies!
Cause Pelosi has no consistent values to speak of.
NO that's only when it's in a non western aligned country! But hey the USA has the greatest illusion of a democracy so nothing else matters
Thank you brave students! Bisan and the people of Gaza have been given so much hope because of you
God Bless the good Brave Students.
thanks to my friend at columbiana university. we were born human and let us live human
Thank you students our hope are you.
It is not Anti Semitic, it is Anti Genocide, Anti Apartheid ,Anti Holocaust actions & Anti the killing of women, childrens & babies in the Gaza. It is not Anti Jews since IDF consists of multi racial army like Siamese, Indians, Americans, Philipinos, Jews etc.🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭🇪🇭
Except there are people being anti-Semitic.
To the mob, Jew = Zionist, which isn’t the case, and most American Jews are actually against Zionism. But a mob like that is stupid, it thinks as a collective and cannot be restrained.
The students must demand the resignation of the Columbia University president and other senior leadership.
Some government officials did this days ago already
Well its important to respect the cops , the cops are just trying to prevent a riot , without the cops people would be beating each other up on campus , protests need to remain respectful if they want to protest but I fully understand why people are protesting , its clear that they are protesting for peace against Israel's illegal blockade but in any case protests need to remain peaceful , they need to get permission before entering a building or a hall or blocking a gate .
Its sad that the university has engaged in activity to suppress free speech but the protesters are also to blame for acting like hooligans
We don't negotiate with terrorists-
Columbia University president
Welcome to Nortj korea .Thank you Kim Biden
vote for Trump
@@igorm6944 even with Trump it wouldn't change America's long-standing support for Israel. Palestinians would still be oppressed, and the apartheid would still be there. Gaza was already an open-air prison during Trump's time did he do anything? All he did was officially recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel which makes things worse.
Except NK doesnt stop people being against genocide and doesn't profit of genocide. It stops people trying to install a US aligned regime which will exploit their people for US profits.
Except NK doesn't stop people from being against genocide and doesn't profit from genocide and war. I does the opposite.
Students are standing with right side against genocide and we are with you too against the genocide.
@fs Genocide”? Hamas still firing rockets at Israel.Look up data in relation of population growth in Gaza,Judea and Samaria.,also death rates.Then we talk.What is happening now called Special Military Operation not “ genocide “
THANKS A LOT AMERICAN STUDENTS!!! IT'S ANTI GENOCIDE NOT ANTI SEMITIC
Yes. It’s humanitarian.
Students are protectors of USA. Hhats off to students and there morality 🙏🏻
@@Nozarks1 YES! It's inclusive for all!!!! 👍✌️🤗💚
So why don’t the students go live in Gaza and fight back?
@@jeffw8218exactly.
Why do they stay in the country where they know nothing will happen to them and their protests will affect nothing.
If they actually wanted to change what’s going on they would travel to Israel and protest outside their government building. But of course they won’t.
They’d rather just pay themselves on the back and pretend they are freedom fighters.
If there are rights that have been violated by the authorities, I am sure they will investigate themselves and find no wrong doing!
Shame on the president

The same old excuse: I was following orders. The same excuse the Nazis used and the same excuse the Israelis will use.
Thats like, from the frying pan into the oven @chrisselkirk4330
Shame on the majority shareholders of the MIC that fund both parties! Trump is invested in the MIC, none of these epstein friends are your friend

They cause blockades. Not cool

Stand up & speak out!

Students can make the change..
Thank you US university student who are standing with humanity 🇵🇸

@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 Only if they called it a BLM protest , the police just would of knelt .
@@Mike-rc7gn wtf are you talking about ? LOL
To understand truama and harrassment met by palastanian people.
You need consciousness and broad-minded and human heart.
American students are very brave God bless them ❤
I’m old enough to remember seeing the Israeli Olympic team slaughtered by Palestinians…furthermore, what you think are “Palestinians” in West Bank are really just Jordanians who, ironically, colonized that land…
Understand the truth you should have wisdom and conscience.just blaming people who has been harrassed for years.
It seems you have the same mind set of Israel Zionist
@jar There isn’t specific Palestinian people,there are Palestinian Arabs,Palestinian Jews, Palestinian Christians etc.
If Israel lost 1948 war these co called Palestinians would be Egyptians,Jordanians,Lebanese or Syrians and together with Jews,Christians and others who lived on geographical territory called Palestine would be citizens of these countries .If you think otherwise you didn’t study history or lying to yourself
Very proud of these kids. In the past, it has been the younger generation that has been the voice of conscience for an immoral government. They're doing it again.
Free United States of Israel from AIPAC.
every person in a democracy complicit in genocide can be held to account for complicity in genocide under international law .
That's not even remotely close to being true, but I respect your passion.
@@Farmgoth the hasbara maschine malfunctioned last year, he's speaking the truth.
@@kakarote100 I hope that was a joke, because no, he ain't.
@@Farmgoth is that the hasbara speaking?
Complicity through complacency
USA = to new IDF?
US police are trained by the IOF.

No they're not
American freedom of speech and human rights
Freedom of speech, except any speech against your master Israel.
Shame on Biden....😮😮😮
And any DNA offspring you may have brought
I'm hoping Americans would veto Brandon at the polls.
@@ChrisAlbertH47 Who's Brandon....?
usa is totally colonized by israel
@@KdrHHIt's a meme of Biden. You can look it up
Palestine will be free inshallah
If I were a Police Officer in NY, I would go on stress leave and let the government sort out their own safety.
Then you would never get promoted…
@@acbower4468 I know. They are meant to serve the public. God's peacekeepers. If I can't serve the public, I don't want the job. James 2.
Right, they be a compliant puppets blindly executing orders thinking they’re on service, duty and full of patriotism meanwhile being laughed at behind closed doors.
We are with you students, free Palestine
Free USA

Palestine do not want to be free, if they do, there will be no free money and sympathizers. You are fooled, yet do not realize that you are being made a fool by the so called free pelastine.

Shame on USA and Biden. Free Palestine.
United Police State
The beacon of democracy. Do as I say or........
Exactly, go against the narrative and they will release their employees to repress you in the name of law. Brave students you’re not alone keep going !
A sad day in America
As an American, I am embarrassed for my country tonight. We look like a repressive, third world, banana republic.
Then leave.
So Occupation is only allowed when it's Israel?
Don’t move students- hold your ground - no stepping back - free Palestine
The Hypocrisy of the US is on full display 😂😂
What a troll!
Exactly. True face of so-called peace keepers. United state of israel.
What are they agitating? These are peaceful STUDENTS
It’s a BS narrative the Mainstream media and the government is using as an excuse to break up these protests. People have the right under the first amendment to protect peacefully. But they are trying to smear these students by calling them agitators, and Hamas supporters etc.
The uni and police are the agitators not the students
Free Palestine ❤❤❤
The world is behind the students. ☮️
If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize.
Voltaire
Why the state is treating students like some kind of a threat and not just in universities but even in street protests? They are protesting for what they believe in and they have been peaceful and it is the right of every one. On top of that university administration is suspending them because they are not ending the protest. This is disgusting.
Well, now we can see Democracy works both ways. The world,one for the US and one for the rest. In America, one for the elites and one for the rest.
Practice of Democracy. Huah ???? 🤧🤧
Democracy has nothing to do with occupying private property. Absolutely nothing.
Solidarity with the protesters at Columbia, from one at UNC-Chapel Hill. I hope you all stay safe in the wake of the police violence. We won’t give up on this cause. Free Palestine!
I stand in solidarity!! I pray for your safety & am so dang proud of you! ✊🏽🔻
Thank you, Henry! Ur doing a great job speaking on behalf of the Palestinians. Well done!
Henry proved everyone who claim the student have no idea what they are protesting wrong.
What a wonderful,brave young students,aware of injustice and terrible crimes committed,who are peacefully fighting against monstrous genocide int Gaza and for the most important values of freedom,equality and justice that have been trampled.
I guess the cops don't take a knee when their masters are criticized
Bingo

Million man March on DC?????

This needs to be organized
@@DelsinM they have zero men
Down with biden!!!
You must go!!! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻
100%
CU President should be fired for calling in the police, and not able to resolve issues with students.
No…that’s not how it works. You can’t bring nothing to the table other than being a problem and faithfully negotiate in good faith…and when the building was broken into, that immediately invalidates everything.
A protest is just as much about winning hearts and minds as it is about political change…this does neither.
The students didn’t want to give anything. It was divest or they keep protesting that’s not negotiations that’s just demands.
Faith in humanity has been restored,thanks to these students who have the courage to stand up for justice,truth and humanity...May God bless and protect them.
Wow what a democracy........
Shame on jeo genocide" These students are not bombing civilians "
Gaza war exposed many hypocrisy 🙏
*many students protesters about Palestine war in USA, UK, France. because this countries double standards 🤣*
They were pushed!
Thank you kindly for sharing.
Shame
Pride.
THANK YOU ALL STUDENTS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Danke schön Al Jazeera for Peace news. Free Palestine.
Free free Palestine 🇵🇸
The massive and ongoing student demonstrations were the greatest peaceful force that politicians in the US, Europe and Israel did not anticipate.
These brave students are standing firm against genocide and we are with them against the genocide happening in Palestine. Thanks a lot American students!
What is police doing to the students after arresting them
Free Palestine & fee students
They have right to speak they are not violating any rules
They are just protesting that is their fundamental right
Depends if the school presses charges. They get jail time and fined. The ones who didn't leave the building or did additional actions might not get charges dropped. The ones outside the building are better off.
SO WHAT IS THE ISSUE
THEY ARE INSIDE , THEY ARE NOT HARMING ANYONE
THE POLICE IS ACTUALLY MAKING THINGS MORE PROBLEM
it is crazy that the universities are still refusing to quit supporting Israeli military Like do you hear what people are saying and standing with I mean why
You are only asking one side story…unbelievable, justice for Palestine 🇵🇸 ❤ thank you for your stand on Palestine ❤
From the river to the sea. Free Free Palestine.
Welcome to China
shame on the universities for not listening. They plan but Allah also plans... and Allah is the best of planners. Free gaza. Free Palestine.
Democrazy 😂
These protests are so much tamer than the HK riots of 2019, and yet the police response is so much more aggressive.
Why they are afraid of the truth. Free Palestine and the freedom of the speech to all citizens of the USA
Because the lies pay them blood money.
They want to protect their blood money.
Where was this show of force on January 6?
Different issue. Youth are concerned about a moral problem, the worst of state crimes - genocide. Jan 6th was an internal political issue
It not amaric it Rudssia
Freedom 🗽 is must for Palestine🇵🇸
Endowments, tuition fees, research grants, alumni donations and other revenue streams contribute towards financial stability and support their educational aims. As of the 2021/22 academic year, Ivy League institutions generated $40.61 billion in total revenue.
The federal government provides enormous subsidies to the wealthiest universities by paying “overhead” on research grants. Ivy League universities received $1.8 billion for government-funded research grants despite having $192 billion in endowment funds.
-MAYBE question why any child in AMERICA pays for education when universities make this MUCH MONEY. You realize YOU, YOUR KIDS, YOUR GRANDCHILDREN could have free college education. BUT they don’t because the universities give BILLIONS to Israel and OTHER countries who turn around and BUY weapons from our government.
Shame on the police responding to these accusations west they see the protest are very peaceful just saying to stop the Israeli Genoside
Brave kids, I'm very proud of you who will be our future leaders 💜 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽
Hope the students in Arab universities follow suit.
ICC should and must add one more name besides Netanyahu.
I WILL TELL YOU WHO YOU SHALL FEAR
So proud of you all ❤😢Sorry our government is defending Israel more than US Citizens and our future leaders, our kids, our students.
What a democracy of a democracy preacher 😂😂😂
Bot
10 year minimum prison sentence.
This is like hongkong demonstration
Hong Kong is worse, bc they disappear, and we don't know what happens to them. They had crematorium structures outside of Hong Kong. We don't know if terrible things happened to some of them.
Land of the free?
Always will be! Mob rule does not work here. No matter what group
Protests are pretty much always peaceful until the cops show up 🇵🇸✊🏼🇵🇸✊🏻🇵🇸
Exactly...anti zionist is not anti semantics. The antagonists love to muddle the waters and cry wolf
Remember that evil always loses. FREE FREE PALESTINE !
Following north Korea style
Following IDF style.
Deceitful negotiations.
Worse than thug violence and intimidation.
Serves the Israeli interests too.
Come on, students close ranks... you are the true defenders of humanity...❤
They are derelict geeks 🤡
The ignorants in uniform that only reached primary school, are repressing students who have a professional future that they will put at the service of their country, the US.
Yeah, those liberal arts majors are the pillars of society
Free USA, from israel
God bless.
