The University of Southern California has denied its 2024 valedictorian, Asna Tabassum, the chance to give a speech at commencement over security concerns. She speaks with CNN's Abby Phillip. #CNN #News

Bringing in BLM into this for what? Is the opposition from Black people? Why throw Black people under the bus in a situation that they are not at all driving but are rather fighting against? Majority of Black people are supporting Gaza. Because of speaking out in support of GAZA many Black residents are now being punished in their residency programs. Jewish people in Dermatology used Black students support from Gaza as their reason to write a joined later asking for the dissolution of all programs aimed at recruiting Black students into Dermatology just last month. To be putting their future careers at risk to support Gaza then have people like you go on to bash BLM on top of that is absolutely diabolical.
You absolutely can criticize Israel. It’s just that you guys look like a bunch of neo-nazis to a significant portion of the country. Calling for the abolishment of Israel is genocidal. I get why you are upset, but you are also actively failing to recognize the whole picture. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
That's pretty myopic, considering that arabs and their supporters have built tent cities in some of the best universities in the east. They have done nothing but chant and yell and protest mindlessly.
- Netanyahu let the attack happen on his own country, despite knowing about the attack 3 days before it happened. - Music festival was organised with lot of foreigners just 3 miles away from the border.

On whose order? - Noticing that music festival casualty were less, used IDF to increase the casualties in the music festival. On whose order?

They framed it in the worst way possible and then try to make her give a yes/no answer to an ill-framed, ambiguous question. Thankfully, she was far too intelligent for the trap, bravo!
I am glad they canceled her speech. It shows who they really are and gave her a bigger platform to speak. Rich donors probably pressured the school and they gave in.
strange that none of USC's students have been informed by the school of any "serious threats" to their safety, or what to look out for, or of any precautions to take because of those "threats"

"Some of [your Jewish classmates] have said that your selection to speak at their graduation has turned that event into an unwelcome and intolerant environment". If this is true, then those student should be deeply ashamed of themselves. Is this not a textbook definition of racism? Imagine the reverse, somebody saying: "If a Jew speaks, that is unwelcoming and intolerant environment". Simply by the fact of their religion or ethnic background, and that they were allowed to speak? Wow. These "classmates" have some nerve.
When your "valedictorian" posts inflammatory content on their personal social media account that could result in drawing unwelcome attention to your expensive and widely attended high-profile event you have to consider the safety and well being of your guests and the reputation of your institution above all else. It's not that hard to understand. She earned the valedictorian status, but that is it. She gets no say in the decisions of the administration and they owe her no personal consideration for her status. If this event were to go sideways the university would be mired in bad PR for a long time. But if she accepts her diploma without incident and leaves the university in good standing they can turn their attention to the next academic year and the next crop of students looking to graduate and be successful. She has no right to interrupt the flow of the organization.

@@hammie2 I already did but to be specific she posted some writings that accused the Israeli's of being a racist colonial state that need to be eliminated and that one Palestinian state should be created for both Jews and Arabs. She knows that's not possible so all her goal was to do is to create hate towards Israel who are doing nothing but defending themselves against the Palestinians terrorists actions. Yes the civilians are being caught in the middle of Israel's brutal response but it would all stop if the Palestinians would stop their terrorist ways. It's the Palestinians who have been racist against Jews for over 100 years, who hate other Arabs and throw gays off of buildings. Disgusting monsters who are leading those people. Most are not like that but unfortunately they voted Hamas into power and are paying the price for that. Many Palestinians live and work peacefully in Israel.
@@johnmongani5223What about the war crimes of Israel happening right now (killing of journalists and humanitarian aid) and what about the years before that?

@@aisha2684 you creep. I never said I agreed with Israel's brutality in response to all of the racist terrorist acts of the Palestinians against the Jews. But they are at war and what you described happens during war. Yes I saw a video of a young boy shot in the head yesterday by Israeli soldiers and was as disgusted as you are, but that does not excuse the Palestinians behavior since 1920 that has caused just as much of the bloodshed or the crap that people like you spew who take no responsibility for any of that or what happened on October 7th. Shame on you..
There cannot be peace for all in an apartheid ethno-state. Abolishing Israel to create a free state for all its citizens; Jewish, Muslim, and Christian is the only solution.
But as she said in the video being the speaker at commencement is a privilege not a right and when she called for violence she lost that privilege@@MrOmak90
This student says that the university taught her what to believe, but then she says that people should think for themselves. Her hateful and incorrect reduction of Israel--the only free democracy in the entire Middle East with equality for all citizens, including 2 million Arabs--as an apartheid goes unchallenged by the interviewer. She further obfuscates by speaking about human rights implying that Israel is the antithesis of human rights. This is an outrageous slander as Israel is by far freer than any of the world's 49 Muslim countries. All of these countries have produced an apartheid of Jews since all million Jews have been ethnically cleansed, robbed, and massacred in the Muslim and Arab nations. She also conveniently does not mention that Lebanon is a truly apartheid nation, that Sudan's civil war has resulted in 2 MILLION deaths, Somalia's civil war half a MILLION deaths, Nigeria's 3 MILLION deaths, Yemen's about half a MILLION deaths, and that Syria's civil war has resulted in 600,000 deaths, including that of 200,000 civilians. What a hypocrite. No wonder this manipulative ideologue has been banned from spreading her antisemitic hate.
Our regular meddling in the affairs of other nations in the form of coups, and constant funding regimes guilty of genocide and other human rights violations, is more of a threat to our security than any speech a student could give.

She deflects on the question regarding one of the items on her social media page of whether she endorses the call for the complete abolishment of Israel. She was asked a second time. Her response, or lack thereof, speaks to her ideology.
hey, a...hole, we’ve read the link that Abby Phillip stated ; it doesn’t say anything wrong, I’ve found that idea might work for Israel and Palestine. But the way CNN framed it made it sound bad .
hmmm she said she had made some statements on her Instagram. School took action. She was already having some issue due to the postings she was making. School made a call. Why are ppl upset? It is a sensitive topic.
So, you side with the Palestinians, then? Because that is what happened to their country and is happening to their people and our tax dollars are funding it. If you say abolish Israel, it sounds crazy but if y'all say bomb Iraq into the stone age, Americans cheer. You can't have it both ways.
It is a graduation speech, not a political statement they are waiting for. You need to be able to keep your political views to yourself during these events.
@@millies500 If they wanted a different topic, maybe they should have worked their asses off to be valedictorian instead. It's her speech, everyone else can suck it.

If she wants to express this personal opinion somewhere, she can start a TH-cam channel.
She publicly called for abolishing the state of Israel. I don't know whether that's a legit reason to cancel her valedictorian speech, but I DO think that explicit language should have been referenced at/near the beginning of this segment. Provides helpful context.
nothing sad , all mainstream media serves its masters .. it’s all been bought up to serve different agendas … TV Programmes ( TV PROGAMS YOU ) easiest way to feed people their agenda
Good call cancelling her speech. She clearly stated here that she doesn't believe in Israel's right to exist. In other words, she's okay with whatever happens to Israel, including Hamas' "resistance". She believes in "equality for all" aside from Israeli's. These college students have become more and more radical, all under the name of "equality" and empathy -- it's all really a guise with a deeper disdain, and even hatred, for people who they deem to be in a "privileged" class. It's hate wrapped up in a pretend love for the world/equality for all.
Pretty sure you would not be saying this crap if you or someone yk had their speech cancelled. Yk how much ppl gotta work hard to earn a speech and be a validictorian. It’s her fucking speech she can say Wtvr she wants!!
@@razaali5031I agree, she worked hard. But if she’s calling for the death of Israeli people (or the death of any group) even if it’s under the “virtuous” name of “resistance”, I think that’s grounds to cancel a speech.
So the CNN reporter is asking her about what she wrote about the terror state Israel , and she has to explain herself. We all remember six months ago when the war criminal Netanyahu Gave a speech quoting the Bible, amalak: to kill them all, women, children, men, their livestock, and sucking babies… CNN forgot one of the terror state Colonels was on live TV and said they are human animals, no water, no food, no electricity, kill them all… Interesting how this poor girl is being interrogated and she has to justify one sentence that she wrote, but CNN forgot to mention all the speeches and the genocidal speeches from the terror state. This is totally absurd. Why should the state of Israel exist? Based on what ethnic cleansing, refusing to abide by every international law and United Nations resolution ? 194 from the United nation gives the right for all refugees the right to return to their homeland. CNN should do research on the agreement between German Jews and the Nazis, the agreement was called. Haavara Agreement - This is not a conspiracy theory. It has been documented throughout history. That the German Zionist Jews made an agreement with Nazi Germany, The agreements in short promised Zionist Jews from Germany, the right to settle in Palestine…. What gives them the right to return after 2000 years, yet the natives of Palestine don’t have the right to return after they were thrown out by the terrorist Zionist, in 1948. And left as refugees, homeless . CNN should look up all the massacres that were committed by the Zionist terrorist Jews in 1948 to create fear And ethnic cleanse all Palestinians … The CNN reporter did not write the questions they were handed to her by CNN Jerusalem Bureau in Israel. Every story concerning Palestine in Israel has to be vetted by CNN Jerusalem bureau, meaning the story the report has to be vetted by the terror state. This is how much control Israel has on the United States from our politicians, to Hollywood, to the mass media. No nation has the right to exist by ethnic cleansing the natives, and massacring them, and dehumanizing them. Really this is like such a oh I gotcha question, lol. Absurd! Research the Haavara agreement… and after you read it, you will see we are aiding and supporting Nazis.
@@maxpbeaumontshe called for the abolishment of the apartheid in Palestine which isreal human right organizations have classified as an apartheid, so I guess you’d be mad at the abolishment of apartheid South Africa because “apartheid SA deserves to exist!”

Smh you guys are blind her speech deserved to get cancelled. She posted a link on her social media talking about the abolishment of Israel and Jewish students even expressed that her being selected to give the speech has created an intolerant environment towards them attending graduation. The university did the smart thing. This valedictorian brought this upon herself 🤷♀️
The host's producer was in her ear telling her to interrupt the student and force a YES or NO response. Why interrupt her while she's answering your question? Abby is such a puppet... she did this while questioning Bernie Sanders during the 2020 Presidential debate.
@@roiissac158 you and I both have ears, so we both heard her eloquently explain why it was, in fact, NOT a yes or no answer and deserved a fully thought-out response.
@truettadevil First, she is a clown, confused, and doesn't know what she is talking about. She's talking about human rights in an Arab country? 🤣🤣🤣. There was not a single day throughout history that Arabs had human rights in Arab countries. Does Hamas and PLO allow human rights? So what exactly does she want?????
@@roiissac158 Yes or no answers for complex issues is for the benefit of idiots, purely. If you want to talk to a college-educated person who is a valedictorian about a complex issue and want a simple binary answer, you either don't know who you're talking to or are just oblivious to the world. Sometimes, you can't simply say yes or no, because life isn't that simple. That's like saying do you support abortion. Do you support welfare. Do you support paying taxes. Do you support having a clean environment. Those questions can be oversimplistic and if you speak in absolutes, you sound like a zealot, which most people may not be. If you don't want to be thoughtful, that's your own business. Don't force that on somebody else. The way a question is framed can be as important as the response, too. Rather than say "some post you liked said "Abolish Israel", do you support abolishing Israel, yes or no" and sounding like an idiot, it's better to ask what that means to them or is it accurate that they even support that or support its abolition fully, and then ask why.... if that's the point of an interview. Otherwise, it's meant to dismiss and write off a person. Let somebody disqualify themselves and such. Is that the point of media? It makes more sense to understand what the view is and how they came to it. Otherwise, why give any air to it?
Why didn't the host pull up the social media post in question? Why did the host contort the content into something barely recognizable? Show the post and let the adults make their own decisions.
The young woman is smart and brave. Universities in Gaza are not uncomfortable--they are rubble. She is basically referring to the 'one state' solution, a Palestine for all people as equals.
When you cant answer a methodical answer and veered away from a simple question coming from a valictdotirian definitely isnt going to represent much of a peacemaker. When you use words like "abolished" simply isnt going to be a cohesive representation to bring unity in this country. Just because your graduating from a big college using big words rather using blissful and greatness if all can live in peace
This was the right call on the university’s part. This individual advocates the destruction of Israel. Her appearance itself would have generated a violent response.
Israel is an ILLEGAL state, a creation of the UK based on violent colonial 'rights'. The natives of Gaza have been massacred since e1937, without stop. What Israel has done to Gaza in 80- years is much worse than the whole of ww2 put together.
@@DevoteeCT I'm hearing exactly what she said which was a bunch of gaslighting. Her inability to say yes or no speaks volumes to the real answer to the question.
She was asked point blank about the link on her social media that calls for *"the complete abolishment of Israel."* Like many other Hamas apologists, she refused to give a clear answer about this.
So basically canceling the speech led to more awareness for Gaza.

When your "valedictorian" posts inflammatory content on their personal social media account that could result in drawing unwelcome attention to your expensive and widely attended high-profile event you have to consider the safety and well being of your guests and the reputation of your institution above all else. It's not that hard to understand. She earned the valedictorian status, but that is it. She gets no say in the decisions of the administration and they owe her no personal consideration for her status. If this event were to go sideways the university would be mired in bad PR for a long time. But if she accepts her diploma without incident and leaves the university in good standing they can turn their attention to the next academic year and the next crop of students looking to graduate and be successful. She has no right to interrupt the flow of the organization.

It's the Palestinians who have been racist against Jews for over 100 years, who hate other Arabs and throw gays off of buildings. Disgusting monsters who are leading those people.

This student says that the university taught her what to believe, but then she says that people should think for themselves. Her hateful and incorrect reduction of Israel--the only free democracy in the entire Middle East with equality for all citizens, including 2 million Arabs--as an apartheid goes unchallenged by the interviewer. She further obfuscates by speaking about human rights implying that Israel is the antithesis of human rights. This is an outrageous slander as Israel is by far freer than any of the world's 49 Muslim countries. All of these countries have produced an apartheid of Jews since all million Jews have been ethnically cleansed, robbed, and massacred in the Muslim and Arab nations. She also conveniently does not mention that Lebanon is a truly apartheid nation, that Sudan's civil war has resulted in 2 MILLION deaths, Somalia's civil war half a MILLION deaths, Nigeria's 3 MILLION deaths, Yemen's about half a MILLION deaths, and that Syria's civil war has resulted in 600,000 deaths, including that of 200,000 civilians. What a hypocrite. No wonder this manipulative ideologue has been banned from spreading her antisemitic hate.

In other words, she's okay with whatever happens to Israel, including Hamas' "resistance". She believes in "equality for all" aside from Israeli's. These college students have become more and more radical, all under the name of "equality" and empathy -- it's all really a guise with a deeper disdain, and even hatred, for people who they deem to be in a "privileged" class.

So the CNN reporter is asking her about what she wrote about the terror state Israel , and she has to explain herself. We all remember six months ago when the war criminal Netanyahu Gave a speech quoting the Bible, amalak: to kill them all, women, children, men, their livestock, and sucking babies… CNN forgot one of the terror state Colonels was on live TV and said they are human animals, no water, no food, no electricity, kill them all… Interesting how this poor girl is being interrogated and she has to justify one sentence that she wrote, but CNN forgot to mention all the speeches and the genocidal speeches from the terror state. This is totally absurd. Why should the state of Israel exist? Based on what ethnic cleansing, refusing to abide by every international law and United Nations resolution ? 194 from the United nation gives the right for all refugees the right to return to their homeland. CNN should do research on the agreement between German Jews and the Nazis, the agreement was called. Haavara Agreement - This is not a conspiracy theory. It has been documented throughout history. That the German Zionist Jews made an agreement with Nazi Germany, The agreements in short promised Zionist Jews from Germany, the right to settle in Palestine…. What gives them the right to return after 2000 years, yet the natives of Palestine don’t have the right to return after they were thrown out by the terrorist Zionist, in 1948. And left as refugees, homeless . CNN should look up all the massacres that were committed by the Zionist terrorist Jews in 1948 to create fear And ethnic cleanse all Palestinians … The CNN reporter did not write the questions they were handed to her by CNN Jerusalem Bureau in Israel. Every story concerning Palestine in Israel has to be vetted by CNN Jerusalem bureau, meaning the story the report has to be vetted by the terror state. This is how much control Israel has on the United States from our politicians, to Hollywood, to the mass media. No nation has the right to exist by ethnic cleansing the natives, and massacring them, and dehumanizing them. Really this is like such a oh I gotcha question, lol. Absurd! Research the Haavara agreement… and after you read it, you will see we are aiding and supporting Nazis.

Sometimes, you can't simply say yes or no, because life isn't that simple.
That's like saying do you support abortion. Do you support welfare. Do you support paying taxes. Do you support having a clean environment.

The way a question is framed can be as important as the response, too.
Rather than say "some post you liked said "Abolish Israel", do you support abolishing Israel, yes or no" and sounding like an idiot, it's better to ask what that means to them or is it accurate that they even support that or support its abolition fully, and then ask why.... if that's the point of an interview.

When you cant answer a methodical answer and veered away from a simple question coming from a valictdotirian definitely isnt going to represent much of a peacemaker.
When you use words like "abolished" simply isnt going to be a cohesive representation to bring unity in this country. Just because your graduating from a big college using big words rather using blissful and greatness if all can live in peace
Because your not apologetic, that’s why your not the valedictorian! Got it!
Not apologetic about abolishment of the apartheid state of Israel. What's wrong with that? Stop the occupation of the West Bank, and Gaza.
This was the right call on the university’s part. This individual advocates the destruction of Israel. Her appearance itself would have generated a violent response.
Israel is an ILLEGAL state, a creation of the UK based on violent colonial 'rights'. The natives of Gaza have been massacred since e1937, without stop. What Israel has done to Gaza in 80- years is much worse than the whole of ww2 put together.
You can tell the interviewer is hearing all her points, but her bosses😈
I'm glad she clarified she meant the system of apartheid.
But neo-nazis are fine with the neo-Auschwitz of Gaza.
Say what...? The student was refusing to answer the questions and dancing around with gaslighting and lies. Did we watch the same interview🧐
@@tyrekedadon7910 Seek and you shall find
@@ICU1337 You're hearing what you want to hear.
@@DevoteeCT I'm hearing exactly what she said which was a bunch of gaslighting. Her inability to say yes or no speaks volumes to the real answer to the question.
Notice how she avoids admitting she said complete abolishment of Israel
These people are doing Hamas work for them
She would gladly run a concentration camp. She is pure evil
brainwashed. Once I heard apartheid, she lost me.
It is! It is worse than South Africa experience.
No one is brainwashed except you. It's 100% apartheid. Deal with it
Absolutely, you r a lost case
She was asked point blank about the link on her social media that calls for *"the complete abolishment of Israel."* Like many other Hamas apologists, she refused to give a clear answer about this.
is-not-real is and has been an apartheid state the past few decades since its conception. outside of the us, nobody supports their actions
no ethno-states, ever. no theocracies. no apartheid anywhere.
Her answer was pretty clear to me
This girl has a jihadist mindset. Not good for the peace and security of Americans.
Her “yes or no would be an injustice…” was such weasel answer.
