Don’t give up guys! You sparkled an important movement! Love from Italy
What movement? Seriously? You think Isreal cares? Do you think the United States is going to stop funding the war on terrorism?
A movement of "expelled from university and now working at McDonalds." That looks good on a resume.
can’t expel everyone
I think these students are not mad about Palestinians but TikTok getting banned
They couldn’t locate Palestine on a map and have no clue as to the history of the area.
I salute the students and their parents for raising moral people.
Moral people don't side with the most violent people on the planet.
so in your Twisted mind, it is moral for people to support terrorists murders and rapists?
@@NobodyNeedstoknow-bq5px You must not be very moral then.
@@onejohn2.26. Where did any of these protestors say they support any of this?
@@TheVuduYuDu Moral enough to not support the people supporting the terrorists who started the war. The question you should be asking yourself is why are you so immoral that you are.
Solitary with Colombia University. Solitary with Palestine 🇵🇸
It’s solidarity
What an accurate Freudian slip
Students have a right to defend themselves.
They also have the right not to get an education. Clearly, the one they did get failed them hard because when Al Jazeera is on your side, you're the villain.

@@emmanuelwood8702 Enjoy your emoji because that's the closest Palestinians will ever come to having their own country.
@@NobodyNeedstoknow-bq5px that is a psychotic thing to think and then type as a comment. shame.
Be safe, students. We don't want Neil Young to have to write another song about peaceful protesters in Ohio. End the genocide. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Why wouldn't or shouldn't we want more newer pieces by Neil Young? And, why do you refer to Ohio? Columbia U. is in NYC/NY City and that definitely is not Ohio. Or is it "just" that he is not popular with many Ohioans? It would be great if he provided an excellent musical stage show for Solidarity with Palestine and all protesters or demonstrators doing that also in Solidarity for Palestine or Palestinians in Palestine.
@@mikecorbeilNeil Young wrote about the students who were killed during the shooting that killed 4 people at Kent state in 1970 (Ohio). We don't want a repeat of that.
@@vanmanne Yes. A peaceful protest against the war in Vietnam.
The Colonizers are fuming wit anger that you do not side with them that instead you are with the oppressed Gazans. Viva Palestine.
😂😂😂😂😂
Colonizers as opposed to the people who tried to genocide the Jews in 1948 and failed, causing them to lose all their land and start 6 more wars to try to take it again. Yeah, I side with the colonizers over the warmongers any day of the week.
OK go fight talk is cheap and daddy pays for your pizza and inflated tuition I am sure you won't donate a dime just empty talk .
Cannibals ate my uncle
@@NobodyNeedstoknow-bq5px Funny how basic cause and effect escapes some people.
Two Universities in Australia and One in France have joined in. Hopefully the UK or Canada next. This is going to go global!!
Bravo ❤
I just got back from the Brown U camp: lovely kids singing. Nothing at all threatening.
Thank you, Students, America ! Land of the free, home of the brave.
The majority of western people are actually good and empathetic, it’s their governments that have a colonial mindset.
Unlike the Arabs...who do nothing to help Palestinians. Why is that?
The mjority of western countries don't want fascist Islamic colonialism.
Some are Not the majority
Bravo to our future generation of leaders, I am so proud of you, it was unimaginable few months ago that our youngest college students are so concerned and empathetic for the human rights no matter what race, religion, and nationality. Love you ❣️ kids
That includes Trump
world has hope 🥹❤
Thank you to the students!! I’m 79 and stand with you 100%, bows you for bravery and honor.
I am 76 and I am so proud of these young people for doing the right thing for us all! Thank you. The crimes we face deserve nothing less!
I’m 64, going on 24 when I watch the hope for the future. Brave students ❤. Solidarity from Ireland 🇮🇪
@@MichaelSmith-ph5oe Bravo for the 70’s!
there is no bravery from the students it is immoral ignorance and a person your age should know better
@@patriciacampbell489 Ireland has been one of the few countries to take a more moral stand, unlike the UK which has been a shameless colony to US policy.
The world loves you Pro Palestine protestors. We respect you. We know you are the real face of USA - not congress members who are all compromised.
no they don't. practically every country in the world including the Arab states support Israel
This what democracy looks like! Thank you to the students reminding us the true meaning of democracy

Why is there no protest in Islamic countries? Why are you depending on kufars for Palestine?
they are the woke and Gen Z.. u mean.
Funny they don't protest against Myanmar or sudan or China that repress Muslim minority
Where is Intel law for those ?
Americans like Bushnell have a good heart ❤️

Hopefully the police will see the consequences of unlawful arrests

Students of today are the leaders of tomorrow. These people are awesome. Respect .
Barbarism
Leader to make US islam and demand shaira law soon 😂😂
Nice to know so many of them have more compassion and are less evil than the generation before them.
Universities of USA pursuing political agenda instead of excellence .🤭🤭

Shame on US government

Double shame on USA
You do know you are at war with “The Jews” like you wanted and not the US, right? Lol they can make/source most of their own equipment too…
@@coletteday712 The US can stop this immediately by no longer arming the Zionist entity, it chooses not too.
@@coletteday712 Shame on the Arab nations!Where is ONE to take these people during the war somewhere safe?ONE?
When in the Inter-Course of History, we hold these Truth, Lies, Right to Defenseless- ness, Genocide, Vetoing our Civil, Human-rights, to be Self-evident, Self- Determination. We the People must decide our own destiny.
protesting against the ongoing genocide in Gaza is not anti-Semitism.
Excellent report
Thanks for the very good podcast!👌🏼🍉✌🏼💜
Salute to these students
Shame on you for not helping Gaza and letting American children do it for you.
The podcast missed a key fact in the improper arrest of the students. The President of Columbia U. called in police on the grounds that the students were suspended (though they were not actually suspended) and therefore trespassing and also were creating a dangerous situation. The police chief at his news conference said his officers saw no dangerous conditions and that the students peacefully cooperated. The next day, the university actually suspended the students, but now using as justification that the students were arrested. False circular logic and a violation of Columbia U's own rules. (Comparatively, the police were far more violent toward protesters at NYU.)
الله أكبر الله
Stop your lying. I was there.
@@LadieKadieTwo universities in Australia and one in France have, today, joined in. This is huge and could go global. UK or Canada next?
Why? Because they see through the lies and propaganda. 😘
🇵🇸💕
@@LadieKadie so what part of it was a lie?
Students can be suspended for organizing and participating in an assembly without a permit, so nice try making some bullshit lie about how they had to be arrested first. How about you do yourself a favor and get into a college so you can read the rules students have to follow instead of making them up.
All the world should be free and free of APartheid and squatters who want to still land by force , they must work like all Americans and citizens in good faith do to pay for a roof over our heads,
Zionists may try to deviate the protest
Nice reports 😊

It seems everything is very peaceful on these campuses *until* the cops get to those campuses.
That’s sadly how it usually goes down.

@@user-oi6zd3lq6e
Are you here in this world for never to be free ?
Free of radical Islam at any rate. Might mean no Palestinians left but then the Muslim world would be ecstatic.
So proud of these kids doing the right thing. Genocide and apartheid are wrong. Free us from Israel.BDS.
the only genocide is being committed by Hamas get a clue
If equal human rights were actually a thing. That committee would not be worried about anti-Semitism
This will not stand, Global Citizenry, Time for Resistance.
Sending you my support from South Florida. I’m so happy that students at my university, Florida international University, are also supporting a FREE PALESTINE.
الله أكبر الله
go people go !
Thanks to Aljazera for the no video documentation. Smart against oppression
Love you free ppl. No to oppression and inhumanity
Dont give up!
The Israeli American spin machine is hitting a brick wall, a younger generation with access to more than one narrative. They also have a global reach.
Funny, the students who have been asked about the background of why they are protesting all demonstrate a complete lack of knowledge or understanding, making them the ones not bothering to access even one narrative. It's like they see a group and like lemmings join in.
World peoples are supporting freedom Palestine
Gen Z , thank you❤
All power to you young and bright students! Thank you for standing up for humanity, justice and equality for Palestinians 🇵🇸 Free speech! Free Gaza, You all are our future and proud to see you support humanity. High moral values and pro humanity.
Thank you, Gen Z. You are upholding our free speech and academic freedom against rising fascism in our country. You are the conscience of our country. God bless our student and be mindful of Zionist informant among you. Remember January 6th.

Free Palestine

Again it is down to students and youth to clean up the evil. Your sacrfice and efforts, you can share with your grandchildren, you were part of the most important, defining part of human history. Well done, power to you all!!!
Thanks, a few intellects are left in USA..... surprisingly its in Columbia University. ..... looking at these students .... give me hope there is still some humanity left in the world.
The young ones have their head and hearts in the right place..❤
الله أكبر الله
They have their heads in hamass
@@user-oi6zd3lq6e GO ISRAEL!GO TRUMP!
@@user-oi6zd3lq6e The fact you keep repeating the Hamas Rhetoric shows your level of self thought. Maybe do a little research with interviews being done with the peaceful protesters inside the encampment and the radical protesters that are on the outside of the perimeter of Columbia University. The radical ones. Yelling violence to Jewish people and holding signs supporting Hamas and also stating We Are Hamas. That is not the students . They are paid activist.
How soon everyone forgets the riots that were happening just 4 years ago burning down the cities of the U.S. That wasn't being done by the innocent protesters who were peacefully protesting but was done by the Radical Paid Activist that were infiltrating the protesters.
Do people really think that all those protesters just one day after Oct 7th when there still was very little concrete evidence to the actual details of what happened, just happened to all show up coincidentally ? Really thousands , not only in the U.S. but all over the world. Oh wait that sounds like what happened with BLM . And that those holding the signs stating they Support Hamas and screaming at the top of their lungs yelling atrocious statements, just happened to be up front and then just a little further back to make it look like everyone in that protest all hold the same sentiment.
Umm No, they don't but when you are trying to divide a country and cause chaos and you have in to do it, like George Floyd or Oct 7th, the alert their paid activist to do what they have been trained to do.
It took me 2 days to google a certain billionaire to find out that he donated $13.5 Billion to what he calls Pro Palestinian Causes. Let me be clear. The NGO may be listed as Pro Palestinian and they very well may do some charity work for the civilians of Palestine but that's a veil to what is really going on in the back ground that only a select few are involved with . People who may volunteer, donate and even some who may protest have no clue what is really being organized behind the veil of this NGO.
This same person who has donated to these NGO's {who set up these NGO's} all over the world with his billions has also been kicked out of 6 countries.
Wake up people same playbook. Learn to distinguish between radical activist and peaceful protesters. Simple google search of who donated billions to Pro Palestinians causes will reveal who I am talking about. This is just the tip of the Ice Berg. The rhetoric coming from Ben Shapiro just days after and the mass protest tipped me off.
Listening to Ben immediately reminded me of the BS coming out of those in the organization of BLM. Not the honest protesters but the organization. If you don't do this and this and denounce your white privilege' you are a racist. Ben If you don't condemn Hamas immediately, you are a terrorist love, Jew Hater. You should lose your job and have your picture shown on platforms so everyone knows who you are.
Really Ben and all the right wing commentators. Weren't you just condemning these very acts of demanding what people must say and think or you will be cancelled ? Weren't they? Yes they were but here he was doing the exact same thing and no it doesn't matter in regards to what happen. Ben doesn't have more of a reason to act that way and demand what I should say and if I don't then Ben gets to label me an anti-Semitic and make sure I lose my job, not be able to get another one, and not be able to support myself and my family. When he has no idea who I am and exactly what my thoughts are. According to Ben if you supported the civilians on the Palestinian side you are supporting Hamas ....BS !!!!! I supported civilians on both sides because its obvious they are both being used by the corrupt individuals in charge on both sides.
That doesn't make me any of the things that Ben stated as total truths with his off the wall rants. That by the way he held on to and meant for months afterwards so it wasn't just him being emotional days after.
You can't vilify people taking your right to speak and work and supporting cancel culture and then turn around and do the very same thing. But people should be very worried why Ben was.
The fervo and fire of freedom,and justice is spreading like a wild fire, and it's all protected by our beautiful constitution 😊
The whiteheads and the greys need to mind their own business. Their time is over, this time is for these young people and for what they want for their future not what old people want for the future. I'm 60 years old and I gladly hand the Baton to these young people who know right from wrong, unlike my generation who knew right from wrong and decided to do the wrong thing because it was profitable for them
It is not antisemitic to say Israel has committed genocide. It is not antisemitic to hold those individuals who committed war crimes accountable.
I’ve lost respect for these self-interest institutions.
اللهم احفظ أهل فلسطين والمسجد الأقصى من كيد الظالمين وأيدهم بنصرك وقوتك.
These are your best Universities... therefore we students represent your best and brightest intellectuals. You people should be listening and learning from us. Protesting beats studying for final exams. Finals are now "take home" tests at Columbia. Mission accomplished!
Now we need to work on Student Loan forgiveness. El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!
!!!!
Keep standing up. You have so much support. Free Palestine! 🇵🇸
They are the hope in America!
You can't treat USA students as like as Palestine people!
It's the same they say they support hamass.
We all pray for Rafah, Gaza and West Bank women, kids and youngsters against indiscriminate IDF blitz on unarmed civilians under the pretext of Hamas. Netanyahu as Hitler continue winning world condemnation for its Indiscriminate killing in the name of Hamas and got his name in history after Germany's Hitler.

Salute to the people who stand and voice for the truth
The audios of them being arrested gave me chills. I actually had a talk with my teacher about all of these comparisons to the Vietnam War. The man burning himself outside the Trump trial--though not about the war--reminded us of the Buddhist fires. Him releasing his documents he called "The Ponzi Papers" like The Pentagon Papers. Students protesting on their campuses and being arrested for chanting against the war. The police force use of weapons, this being tasers. And snipers being spotted on the roofs of college grounds now sounds like a scary set up to the Kent State Massacre when police opened fire and killed students--Some of which had nothing to do with the protests--at Kent State University. Although they were protesting our years of direct involvement back then, it's showing the similarities to a wartime we've already lived through. Pretty scary stuff, and it's developing by the day.
Much love to the students!!!!!!! To the university: Do not harm your students! !!!
