A great episode! Disruptions to learning in universities and colleges are unacceptable, whatever the cause. The right to express oneself freely in speech or actions does not extend to interfering with the freedom of others.
Yes. Gazans are suffering. (Which wouldn't be happening, if Hamas hadn't massacred 1200 Israelis, taken hundreds of hostages, if they hadn't built 350 + miles of tunnels that need to be destroyed, if fighters kept themselves and weapons separate from Gazans, schools, hospitals, mosques, etc, if Hamas didn't divert food, water and other aid, if Hamas surrendered, or if Hamas really cared about Gazans, if neighboring Muslim countries helped by letting Gazans stay there, or putting pressure on Hamas to surrender - there were no Israelis in Gaza before Oct 7th) But other groups who also suffer maybe even more, don't have daily coverage or protests in their name. Why not? Why are students (and other non-students) so obsessed with only Gazans or Palestinians? About 30 million people are experiencing alarming hunger, severe levels of food insecurity and malnutrition in north-eastern Nigeria, South Sudan, Somalia, and Yemen according to Oxfam. As a citizen of those countries, or as a Yazidi, Kurd, Royingha, Uyghur, Syrian, I would wonder what is so much more important about Palestinians and less important about them? Why do they have their own special UN refugee arrangement?
@@ebog4841 Your USA politicians are bought and paid for with a handful of shekels. Your universities are bought and paid for with a few million shekels from philanthropists like Kraft.
Students want schools to “divest” of endowment $$ from Israel-friendly companies??….BETTER idea : Have them divest of ALL donations from pro-Israel donors 😂….( their cute, little schools will quickly slip into obscurity )….🎉
The students are funding the investments with their tuition. But they don't see themselves as part of the equation because their parents write the checks and they have been taught that they are the beginning and the end of everything that matters in this world and they are fully ENTITLED to expect the world to bend to their idea of reality. And their idea of reality has nothing to do with the reality the rest of the world lives in, especially the part of the world called the Middle East. The really very most important thing is that they are able to tell themselves, and each other, that they are superior to others. Oh, yeah, and the Ivy League diploma is really important, too.

All democrats have to do is enforce the law.

The US government is massively supporting the Israeli war on Gaza, that plays a large role in the protests.
@@berlinorama yeah, duh. WE SUPPORT OUR ALLIES. Yemen is not our ally, so we don't give them money. DUH.

@@berlinoramawe also support our VALUES and Hamas has none, neither does its patron Iran which chants "Death to America."
@@berlinoramaThe US is also massively supporting Ukraine. Do you support a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine?

Correct..

These protests are not anti-war, only anti-Jew and wapo knows that. God bless Israel 🙏
