I’m a professor who got fired and arrested for protesting Israel’s Gaza war | Close Up

- Students and faculty across United States colleges are demanding change. They want their universities, with enormous endowments, to cut ties with Israeli companies. Activists like Danny Shaw argue that institutions investing in these companies are complicit in the ongoing war in Gaza.
For nearly 20 years, Danny Shaw was a professor at City College of New York until he was fired last month for his outspoken criticism of Israel's assault on Gaza - and the US role in the war. “They try to label us as terrorists, but what are our crimes? Student encampments, books, the truth?” says Shaw, describing the police response to anti-war protests.
As the unrest escalates into violent police raids and several thousand arrests, Close Up follows Shaw as he joins students demanding an end to the war in Gaza. “No matter how hard they attack us, discredit us, dehumanise us, arrest us, break our bones, bomb our people across the Middle East, we have a historical responsibility to speak out.” Shaw adds.

"When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals.”
― Edward Snowden
Perfect...
Indeed!!!
well done! Snowden, now try to expose some crime in Russia, I am sure Mr Putin will be amazed!
doesnt apply here
@@mindlessmotion5864 OOOkay, if you say so, I guess it definitely must be true!!!
Professor, I cried when your mother said she is proud of you, what a people
I cried when I saw the way his mother looked at him. A lioness looking to her lion son with pride.
I laughed.

Brave professor standing against genocide.
Big useful idiot
well i would say that he's not a brave professor but a foolhardy one, in fact a stupid professor as he don't know between a genocide and defending against the enemy, Infact what is inflicted on the Israelis on 7th Oct is deem as genocide!!!

Bravo profesor.....free free Palestine

You are a professor of HUMANITY
humanity? he is a prof of stupidy. all the ones who support gaza, have no idea about the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big up for Professor for standing up against lies
Anti semitic professor

I'm sure Professor Shaw can get a position in Gaza when the universities in the refugee camp reopen.

“They try to label us as the terrorists, we’re not the terrorists what are our crimes” The most accurate statement I’ve heard by this brave professor. May god bless you sir

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I wouldn’t call the protesters terrorists. I wouldn’t call them humanitarians either though. Someone protesting on humanitarian grounds would be condemning both sides of this horrid war. As is people are picking sides. No, that does not make them terrorists but knowingly or not it does mean they are supporting h@m@s.
You are doing the highest Terrorism activities all over the world. Go, Read history...
Genocide,
Any divine religion does not order genocide,
Except distorted ‘old testimony by coincide.
Zionist profits from massacre, they decide,
Since their sick brains are conditioned to make homicide.
South African president acts as a hero for peace,
Applied to court, a friend of ours, like a niece.
Thank you Professor. You lost a job but not a soul. God bless you
What a beautiful soul. He has always been fighting against injustice
Hats off for the brave professor standing against genocide.
Why don’t you go to Somalia 🇸🇴, Iran 🇮🇷, UAE 🇦🇪, Turkey 🇹🇷, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, Qatar 🇶🇦, Iraq 🇮🇶, Libya 🇱🇾, and Syria 🇸🇾 and enjoy the freedom? They don’t let you in because they hate you. There is no freedom out there you know it.
As you see most Christianity based Countries, they let you in and enjoy freedom because we don’t hate anyone JESUS ordered us to love our neighbor. Our neighbor could be Christian or Muslim. Unlike JESUS, Mohammed ordered you to slaughter us as a sheep. 🐑
Whatsoever, there is no absolute freedom, you should obey the law if you want to stay here in this Christian country, USA 🇺🇸.
Then some story.....I see poor children, on TV as I was a child to,,,,
🤦♂
Wondering how do you define oct 7 and the promise to do it ove and over again? Double moral.
Trur hero
Great and brave Professor, speaking up for justice and against genocide 🇵🇸
now we see who are the heros, who are on the right side of history and who are the ignorants. thumbs up for this amazing professor and all the students!
Well, the Palestinians were responsible for the Holocaust too (Hajj Amin al-Husseini), so... what comes around goes around.
Get a grip you muppet.

*Nothing but psuedo protests only because Israel is involved in a war to defend itself. No protests when thousands of Rohingyas, Uighurs, k _illed in Burma, China. No protests
even when over 1 million k -illed in Iraq Iran war, no protests, when over 2,00,000 k -illed in Somalia civil war. Everything quiet, when 1,00,000 k -illed in Darfur by Sudan army , no protest, when over 2,00,000 k -illed in Syria civil war, no protests, when over hundreds of thousands k -illed in Yemen civil war and Saudi bombing.

Too Sad Saudi and most gulf students are no where to be seen.
Well, the Palestinians were responsible for the Holocaust too (Hajj Amin al-Husseini), so... what comes around goes around.
@@JackFieldBand Nope, this is just another Hasbara lie.
And even if it were true, blaming all Palestinians is like when Xians blame all Jews, for all time, for killing Jesus. Right-thinking people know that's anti-Semitic. Of course, Zionists are not known for right-thinking...
@@JackFieldBand😂😂😂😆😆🤮🤮🤮
Lol it's not a genocide 😂 You people really need to learn what that word means. It's a terrible war that Palestinians started and are losing badly. That's how it goes. I fully support Israel, Islamic extremism has no place on earth
Thank you Professor. God bless you and your sweet mom. From Singapore 🇸🇬, Free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
i pray for your healty professor and your mother,may allah bless your fight with injustice
The Israeli guy saying it’s “his block”!! The audacity of these people
They can't help themselves - it's engrained. An Israeli lady in London started trying to charge my cousin and her neighbours for parking on a piece of paved land at the back of my cousin's house. They did a bit of investigating and it turned out she had no claim to the land at all.
Well they do run USA
It's the behaviour of people whose values are founded on fragile and flimsy ideals.
"They say,"We are not accountable for whatsoever we may do to the Gentiles."And thus speak untruth about Allah/Creator while they know it."
Holy Quran (3:75)
lying and miseranilism is anchored in their DNA
Thank you to all the beautiful soul for supporting humanity.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🤍🇧🇩

Professor, May the Lord bless you and continue to grant you and the brave young students the courage to continue your legal protest.
Students and professors are making big differences in the US for Palastine cause. FREE PALASTINIAN
just fomenting communist interference
By being fired lol? 😂 now he can’t pay rent
@@BestSphagettiHe seems to be doing fine😂
Big differences? Where exact are these please?
No its NOT. Americans are not care about either side, because a lot of us remember that you left this ideologues called every single Republican or racist 3 years ago and Liberals are nothing more than chills for Israel and foreign wars. Guess what you just doomed yourself because of your ignorant view the world and inability to be nuanced in any way no one cares about your protest and the protests will die off just like Palestine!!!!!

it's worse than genocide: this is Jihad!
The reason why I know Izrael will be forced to change, and perhaps sooner than we think, is because of the younger generation.

I truly respect this professor and you can see that he has great humanity in the way how he calmly speaks and how he has risked everything and still stands with righteousness. It's a shame that we only have snakes in our governments who lack this empathy.
He's a hypocrite using the protest to expound his anti semitism

Not only does he have great humanity but he has great knowledge of Caribbean studies, a very valuable skill in today's New York. Maybe he will find work at Harvard?

Not one day of these protests has been “peaceful”- but y’all got a skewed perspective after spending 75 years waging war on Israel.
@@RedditBan What a shameful respond!
nonsense he was leading a riot
@@RedditBan100% are peaceful until the violent Zionists, white supremacists and IDF trained cops show up.

Advocating for human rights and human liberty - this is what America is about. This is what it means to be American.

Our politicians don't seem to get that though.
This does not apply to Islamic terrorism.
