- US President Biden has said demonstrators have the right to peacefully protest, but not to cause chaos. Biden stated that he doesn't want to deploy the National Guard to US campuses, where students have been protesting Israel's war in Gaza and the resulting humanitarian crisis. DW’s William Glucroft sheds light on the similarities and differences between recent US pro-Palestinian student protests and the 1968 protests against the war in Vietnam.

“Anti war movements in the 1960s had gov support” ?
What is this guy smoking?
Several further-left Dems like EugeneMcCarthy, RFK, GeorgeMcGovern, etc... But, yes, the Dem establishment, like the Repubs demonized the anti-war movement, although much more divided on civil rights protests.
Shh you're ruining the media's fantasy narrative. Don't mention AIPAC either!
It's sickening to even here the phrase " national guard".. Who are we protecting here? Natanyahoo regime or American citizens?
people who need to go to work or attend class but can't because streets and campus entrances are being blocked are also American citizens. you're right to protest does not extend to blocking others' freedom of movement or trespassing on private property (yes, most of these universities are private property)
The truth that no protestors want to admit is that there are NO "good guys" in this conflict.
Power to the PEOPLE !🇨🇦
Is it USA democracy not to allow students for peaceful demonstration?
They're mostly not students.
I see no violence to the people. but the police arrested them in violence.
Because USA has been under Xi Jinping's administration 😁
Calling for violence is not peaceful
heres a little secret, USA is not really a democracy.
Is this supposed to constitute journalism? Why not interview student organisers of the protest before you analyse their intentions? And as for political support, where's the analysis of the influence of AIPAC???
Because they've got a limited number of reporters in the US which can't travel half way across the country for a 5 minute blurb...
And which of those 3 dozen organizers?
Who has the right to speak for all of the others?
@@militant_pacifist Oh please. No travelling required when technology exists to plug that gap. A key organiser is SJP ( Students for Justice in Palestine) - contact details can be googled.
Maybe talk abou AIPAC and the way we are not a democracy or a Republic, but an Oligarchy.

Why does youtube immediately censor the phrase "military industrial complex"? It's almost like they're part of it 😮
If it helps you feel better, google overlords, i'll start saying military-tech-industrial complex from now on. It's true after all, why not.
I thought it was the land of the free and free speech???
Was?
Free and free speech if you can afford it, if not, you are free to be a starving homeless
It is as long as it's in Uncle Sam's Favour
It is but free speech doesn't mean you can destroy private property. Majority of universities are private property, not public areas. Its like going to walmart, the public allowed on property but the owners have the final say and can ask you to leave.
hahaha yes
Wow, this DW report was not totally pro-fasc for a change.

Good on you all kids! Fight on...keep on doing what is right for this country!!
Give bad advice often? This is not what is right... it's what is convenient.
Right so if I disagree with any law I can just ignore it and call myself a protester, however breaking that law still makes me a criminal and it still means I will go to jail.
Supporting a religious far-right regime is not fighting injustice, it's supporting it.
@jamesganter9537 : Are you out of your damn mind?! Those kids are destroying their respective schools. There is no way you can justify morally what their behavior has caused!
@@olafsigursons In a free country freedom includes supporting who you want. If you or they wanted to they are free to support a religious far-right regime even when others might not agree with it. They are free to do that and there is nothing illegal about it. Morally however yeah it's pretty rotten according to a majority of people I think.
PEACE PROTEST ! - Why are the NETWORKZ NOT SAYING THIS !🇨🇦
This is not just a protest against war and for peace... this is a protest against the worst crimes within all of human civilization, a protest against genocide and a protest against ethnic cleansing.
How free does the world look like? Is America free ? Is the west free?
He spoke to a professor but in todays journalistic practice it's not necessary any more to give his name. Sources are not relevant any more. That's modern journalism.
True, that's infact very often agitation and not journalism any more. Also a sign of decline of democracy...
The reason is AIPAC.
What you’re missing is the tiny percent of young people who are participating in these protests, especially with the level of commitment where it would affect their vote. After days of disruption, the police clear up the tents and arrest the 200 people who thought they were special enough to take up the entire lawn and get classes cancelled for 40,000 people. Also how little the participants understand about what’s happening in the Middle East. The other protest topics you mentioned were all about issues which affected people’s daily lives and had very broad support among the population.
The swing in public opinion polls against Israel says otherwise. The real thing they're missing is AIPAC and similar lobbies. Sadly in the US, money is what wins elections (~90%) and the Israel lobby has a massive hand in where money goes. We shouldn't let foreign governments have this influence, but that's how it works now.
Free Free Campuses !
Ya, free the campuses from these thugs and losers who call themselves protestors.
Good, balanced reporting on this. Nice work
@@armandaneshjoo what?
Voting makes a mockery of the people.
At Oxford university you are not to take a short cut across the lawn.

define chaos!
@wplutom Graffiti, breaking glass, fist fighting on university campus. 😂😂😂
What percentage of young voters do these protesters represent? 🤔💀
About 2000 have been arrested. Not all are affiliated with the universities where they’re protesting.
55% as of March 27. Meanwhile explicit approval of Israeli's war dropped down to 36% (50% last year Nov). So they represent the majority of Americans.
This situation sucks! I do NOT want to vote for Biden because of this (and Saudi Arabia). But the MAGA fascist alternative is so much worse. What to do??
I’m in the same dilemma. Vote Trump so we can see the world burn

You have nothing to fear from Trump. You have everything to lose with Biden/Harris.
In the USA it is state (province) level governors who will or will not deploy the national guard for local matters like this. So while President Biden's policy statement is better leadership than you may remember from the previous president, the press seems to be almost universally misrepresenting the situation.
There is a difference between "young people" and the "few privileged elitists" who are desperate to show their detachment from the rest of us.
But which side do you mean? I think you mean the protesters but it suits the other side more
He mean young leftist vote
35 people projected their views onto this word salad
@@jbo8540 Oh....so sorry, your farther makes less than a million a year?
The protesters in state campuses like OSU "elite"? Give me a break.
Biden doubling down with "NO" is the final nail.
Poor people who cannot afford tuition, let alone books, fees, student loans, look at this chaos and say, "enough".
Where were the protests about SCOTUS Grants Pass, etc etc? Since when did this crowd give a darn about Palestine two years ago when the Gazans were already in trouble?
One wouldn't want these "encampments" or takeovers of buildings, even in defense of some issue on which they might have influence, but this is simply acting out for its own sake. Prayers that poor people including White people will be heard right in the US, without all this. Thank you, Joe Biden for standing strong against this nonsense.
Lack of military support for Ukraine = burgers in the trenches next year 😂😂😂 send to Ukraine more helmets
Ivan, when you start facing the Americans, the future of Russia will be a very dark one.
Well, I'm 'part of the establishment,' and I--along with everyone else who has a conscience--fully support the protesters' efforts.
Love how pro GOOD peiple dont wear masks as opposed to pro EVIL
Hey Biden, how about an interview, we got questions.
Free Free America!🇺🇸😅
From Israel.
We are going to the Hamptons 😂
Support the student protesters
They're not students but outsiders and agitators.
Are we in America, or NORTH KOREA???
I think those 'young people' should have the right to publicly have a say in how US weapons are being deployed to kill innocent people indiscriminately... since many of them could be called to fight if the conflict does expand in the Middle East.
Question. Do you realize that when there is a "lack of political support" for protestors that vote. There is no voter support for those politicians on election day? Politicians work for us and will be fired just like any other employee.
Go nuts. I don't think anyone will miss your vote.
@@therealking6202 Even Bernie Sanders has been on the news saying this will cost votes. You may not miss mine but are legion. We are many.
Their electoral system is broken, based on huge funders, it has evolved into a plutocracy. Their choice is between two parties. They don't have a proportional voting system... It is a big question to what extent the politicians actually represent their people these days
@@ragingmonk6080well, who's to pay the budget of the political party? In the US who had the money tell what to do. Common people like the students and workers are just necessary nuisance.
@@SaUl95954 English is not your mother language and American politics is not something you understand. We have democracy and we vote for our leaders. They do not get the votes, they lose. That is how a real democracy works.
We should be proud of these students. Asking colleges to divest money from their endowments is a small ask.
How come they don't ask to divest from Qatar, which donated $3.2 billion to our universities? Qatar is a sponsor of terrorism and terrorists. This is a direct result of that money
Peak ? 😅
Why don't you speak about the funding and financing of the eco system that drives these protests. It hurts your narrative I guess
Facts
In conclusion, double standard
The difference is they don't have a for their revolution.
They do, it's red.
Lack of wisdom as well
Stop the genocide free Palestine 🇵🇸
There is no genocide.
It’s clear who has power and who is oppressed.
Iran offered the expelled students scholarships, so hopefully they will all go to Iran.
I hear the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs in Iranian schools is top notch. 🤣
🕵 Never forget the abortion and supporting Ukraine issues. They rank high on young people's mind too. Despite protests appearance, majority of Americans still support Israel more, including Democrats.
What about the demonstrations for a caliphate in Germany? "Kalifat ist die Lösung". You got anything on that, DW?
You mean like 500 weirdos that are already on 2 dozen watch lists?
What about them?
They have no political power, no ingrained support in the broader German population, little to no distributed organized structures or broader access to funds.
Why waste breath on them?
Truth is always anti semitism.
It's a shame of US foreign policy to cause such polarisation on University campus'
Look at the world, US divides to conquer, a lesson in empire from the British after the Great War parts 1 & 2.
lol. The protests for this “issue” are a fad that won’t be remembered in a year. If you want to sow discontent in the West, pick a better issue. This shows you’re not good at your job.
No. It doesn't.
Free Palestine
Democrats ad republican difference is too subtle.its like US has a one party state
If you can't tell the difference you aren't trying to see one
Yeah, except Party Politburo committees don’t have sole authority to take out rival political opponents.
Why didn't they get someone who was actually alive in the 60's? This guy obviously has no clue.
But he referenced a professor who was [alive then].
I agree. There was very little support for the campus protests against the Vietnam war. The whole media landscape of that time, as well as, the vast majority of political elite was extremely hostile towards the anti-war movement of the 60s. Many of the students protesting today would have actually been jailed if it was still the 60s.
As he said, there are key differences between the protests of the 60's and the current protests. One, we don't have boots on the ground in any war currently. These current protests are very misguided and not based on facts.

Most of kids probably failing classes don't want mommy and daddy see grades, spoiled brats as usual.
Send the clean-up bills to their parents.
They were forcibly removed before they could clean up. So the bill has to be send to the Gestapo, also ironically called law enforcement .
@@harriemeeuwis978 they were asked to remove the encampment many times. They refused. They did not adhere to the school's rules or requests. That's why they had to be forcibly removed. But not nearly all were arrested.
Your comment sounds the way we call "spießbürgerlich" in German.
@@xx_Joker_xxNo, because the message they had is not welcomed by the elites.

It's not difficult to understand. People don't want Government's War
These protestors do not represent the views of the majority of the U.S.
It's easy to understand why they don't have support, we don't like religious far-right.
The fact this law pass here and the fact ppl are not allowed to critize them in both france and german?
Ppl german and european u guys are smart right? Looks like our country are not yours at all.
If this was Russia the US will quickly run to the UN and start talking about human rights
It's already happen during Hong Kong protest.. This just show how hypocrite we become.
Probably. The world is complicated.
why not report the reasons why those protests are taking place? why are these young people protesting? why not report about the situation in gaza where people are suffering? people there are starving and the humanitarian situation did not improve because of the failed politic in our western nations. why not tell what is going on there? why not send journalists to gaza and show to the world the truth? death and destruction and suffering of innocent people - why not show it? isn't that your duty as journalists? what is preventing you from doing this? should we just watch in silence and pretend we do not know?
That would take days. Most folks have kept up with the current news. But realistically, this all goes back for decades. I think the protestors have made it very clear what they are protesting and it's not American values.
They protest to support a religious far-right regime.
So you are telling me that if you break the law and call it a protest you aren't immune from law enforcement? That's good, it would be really bad if anyone could break any law under the excuse of an protest. The right to protest means you still have to obey the law.
what law did they break?
@@maxdougherty3429the campus asked them to leave, they refused. They don't own that building. Later the police came to remove them and again asked them to leave, if the protesters had left at this point they would have probably still gotten off with a warning. There are clips of faculty members trying to reason with the protesters but the protesters just yelled their demands. And they had another area where they were free to yell their demand but where it wouldn't impact the other students. I don't mind referring you to those clips if you want to see them
@@basbekjenl the Uni gets federal grants so right to assembly on campus is valid?
@@maxdougherty3429yea but you still can't disrupt the daily life of the other students. You are free to protest, but you are not free to disrupt other peoples life without consent.
@@basbekjenl so protest in a way that doesnt bother others, then others can ignore it. its not productive, and wont achieve stoppage of civillian deaths in gaza
Students are always right. In any country of the world whatever the issue.
Seems that politicians have never been students.
O tempora o mores.
Students lack life experience, especially in these current protests. They have also been manipulated by people from the outside and they do not realize it.
They are forking protesting to support a religious far-right regime. Student were protesting to support Stalin in the 60's. FFS.
Students are always ignorant. That is WHY they are students!
It's amazing that anyone would vote for Joke Biden.
The alternative is Donald Trump. So, almost nobody is voting "for" someone.
Why not talking about US funding weapons and killing civilians Genocide
Why not talking about the Hamas? Why not talking about them being anti-women rights? About them being anti gay-rights? Anti-democracy? Oh wait, you support these values right?

Most of us disagree with the protesters on the issues but we are even more disgusted by their tactics and behavior. Many of us already saw them as entitled brats who refuse to grow up and then they went and proved it.
FREE PALESTINE
If they want to protest they should go to Israel and protest.
Actually the US is a massive supporter of the Genocide hence the focus on the US makes sense
There is support for the protests from the KKK and other groups.

You are the hypocrite. You support Trump and you support the Hamas, 2 religious far-right organization. We won't support the far-right, we are not hypocrite.
