- “It would be really nice if for once in American history those who are not young would listen to young people”
From the anti-Vietnam War protests to the American civil rights movement, student protests have always been repressed, unpopular and caricatured in recent US history, according to NYU historian Robert Cohen.
Cohen, who specialises in social protests in 20th century Americas, tells TRT World that a “majority of the American public is uncomfortable with student activism” because they raise “uncomfortable questions”.

TRT you have special responsibility to cover the spirits of this movement....all western media completely blacking out the demands of the movements and showing only israelists side of victimhood to ignore question on humanity
Which are agent provocateurs and using strawman fallacy.
Doesn’t look like Israel are victims to US rational and reasonable folks. Free the Hostages
These are the future generations. They should have a voice - a strong voice, regarding the world they are going to inherit. Is it a world without grace, integrity, compassion and humanity?. At the moment, those are naked and stark occurrence, especially in the Western world.
Be careful what you wish for depending on your relationship to long departed ghosts.
Having been indoctrinated with the colonizer, settler, oppresser, opressed, victimhood wokester dogma at these Liberal Arts schools they might not like where you are presently living on the planet.
Big Love and Respect to this gentleman and TRT World!! REAL journalism here.
What is your point? Boo-rah?
Thanks to TRT world team members from the bottom of my heart
Awareness about their state is not theirs are wider spread out among youngs then their elders in USA.
To the river to the sea right
Zionism always even to the hell, right?
Each year the U.N. votes on a resolution called, “PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT OF THE QUESTION OF PALESTINE” Votes indicate who’s unwilling and unreasonable. The votes have been the same for the past 20 years. The whole world on one side and Israel and America on the other:
1989: 155-3
1997: 155-2
2002: 160-4
2003: 160-6
2004: 161-7
2007: 161-7
2008 :164-7
Do you understand that Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah and others refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist? How do you make peace with people like that?
You may have noticed that both Jordan and Egypt formally recognized the state of Israel and it's right to exist. Look at that, no violence, ever.
@anthonymorris5084 In March of 2002, THE ARAB LEAGUE agreed for a 2-state settlement for the I-P conflict with the EXACT same terms as the General Assembly, (under the International Law, you are formally required to recognize Article 2 (The U.N. Charter).
However, THE ARAB LEAGUE went 1 step BEYOND the General Assembly. In addition to Article 2, they proposed:
The right of any member state to live free from threats or use of force
They will normalize relationships with Israel
Have economic relations
Trade relations
Tourism relations
THE VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS! They all voted for the 2-state solution with the June 1967 border.
They continued to reiterate their offer up to 2008.
In 1988 Algiers, then Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (P.L.O) declared a state founded on the Partition Resolution, which called for 2 states, where is the Palestinian State?
The settlers have been systemtically sabotaging the truce and instigating the peace offensive as they don’t want peace. Israel can’t afford for the Palestinians to look reasonable or have a moderate image as this is the biggest problem. This narrative would rob them of their pretexts, alibis, excuses for not negotiating. They must keep instigating violence in order to show the international community that these people can’t be negotiated with.
@@INSiGHTOLOGY1 Please enlighten me, which Arab states openly and publicly declared Israel's right to exist in any of the years you mention? Which Islamic groups have ever recognized the state of Israel or it's right to exist? Have you read the Hamas and Hezbollah charters?
If they truly wanted a two state solution, why didn't the Arabs embrace the partition plan in 1948? Why didn't Hamas commence building a paradise on the Mediterranean when the Israelis left in 2005?
Why does Hezbollah continue to fire rockets into Israel even though the Israelis withdrew from Lebanon? What has Israel ever done to Lebanon? Why does Hezbollah watch Lebanon's economy crumble and it's people suffer while it spends every resource and it's entire existence trying to destroy the state of Israel?
How do you reconcile that there is peace between Jordan, Egypt and Israel?
If Israel allowed Gaza to become a sovereign state, the first thing Hamas would do is build a giant airstrip in the Middle of Gaza and invite the entire Iranian air force to park it's fighter jets and store it's bombs. They'd immediately build a port and import massive amounts of weapons. Your post has no credibility.
sometimes it’s the young that teacher us valuable lessons. I learn from my little ones all the time.
The young couldn't find Israel or Gaza on a map. Ask most of them to even define the Middle East or point it out. None of them, including millions of adults even know what countries today sit right on top of Palestine.
In that matter Pakistan is far better.... Students are not that mature here, still given a lot of coverage.
This is such a nice sentiment. Unfortunately older generations think they know everything. Younger generations are not taken seriously.
The whole thing is ridiculous
Save humanity 😢
Protestors are not being written off, they are owning the media spotlight. The onus is on the protest movement to make it's case eloquently and persuasively, to use communication tactics that engage and stir the heart of potential supporters, and thus to win arguments and change minds. The onus is not on older people or in fact anyone to give the student movement anything.
USA is american but is not America.
As an “oldie” myself I am delighted with the young students who often represent the best of us, with their critical thinking skills and willingness to challenge the establishment.
LOL. Be careful what you wish for depending on your relationship to long departed ghosts.

Thanks for that, I've haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
They will succeed in Biden’s presidential demise. Keep it up
In the USA,Politicians are servant of corporations. Yes by the people for the rich.
Occupying and destroying property is not words to be heard
That would be nice.
Lets ask them some question ifvthey undersrand the conflict i am sure 90% of them dont know
Sometimes the elders don’t know better, especially when they ignore history and repeat bad history, and when they abandon basic humanity for their self interest of their certain ideologies, red flag!
Absolutely correct, costs nothing to listen and think of a different perspective 👍
Wherever and in whatever matter, the elders don't listen to the young, the elders make big mistakes.
The reality is that in the long term, it the young who prevail
The young, especially today, are naive, myopic, emotional and narcissistic.

Gratidão ❣ ❣ ❣ 🇧🇷
Palestina livre 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸
❤❤❤❤
Im an adult and I like student activism.
thank you
Why are students doing more than the Turkish, Qatari and Saudi governments?🤔
Wise professor. We should always look to history because, like a pastrami on rye, it does repeat.
Agreed. Which is why we should learn the history of most other culture particularly ancient surviving cultures that take their advice from elders.
If not lets learn from the elephants.
Ma sha Allah. Alhamdulillah.
in sha Allah, Muslims in Palestine will retrieve their stolen rights, property, land and freedom
in sha Allah, oppressors, colonials and illegal occupiers, criminals will never succeed in suppressing Palestinians
O Allah, assist Palestinians as their supporter, their protector, their advocate and their rescuer.
O Allah, safeguard the honor of detained Palestinians, protect them from oppression, abuse and injustice.
O Allah, heal the oppressed Palestinians, help them, support them, comfort them
O Allah, bless Palestinian people, recompense them with good
O Allah, grant victory to Palestinians in their fight against murderers, aggressors, oppressors, criminals, illegal occupiers and colonials.
O Allah, crush all evil plots against Palestinian people.
O Allah, help Palestinian people rebuilt their country, rebuild their infrastructure, rebuild their economy
O Allah, help Muslims in Palestine remain steadfast
O Allah, help Muslims adhere to the teachings of Qur'an and Sunnah in all situations
Ameen ya Rabb Al 'Alameen.
LMAO.....pay attention to this post people.
This wokester oppressor, oppressed, colonizer, settler, occupier dogma is precisely the brainwashing empty headed kids get in these Liberal Arts schools.
Who invented the idea that humans need a connection to long departed ghosts to legitimize their place on the planet?
This guy thinks so and these brainwashed students do as well?
This is called "wishful thinking". Please enlighten me, when has Allah ever defeated the Jews? Never. What's wrong? What has happened to the all knowing all powerful deity? Alanh's snackbar.
free free falestine
Jesus was Palestinian, he was born in Bethlehem.
Et à été dénoncé ! Alors, ça me fait rire quand ils parlent de population judeo-chrétiens, les sionistes existaient déjà à l'époque car eux rejetés toutes les religions ils voulaient être les maîtres et y rester.
Even tho Jesus was a Jew he was an Arab because Arab is a tribe it still existed during Jesus's time
@@varadapuranik1460 no, he spoke Aramic he wasn't Arab
@@varadapuranik1460 his real name is Ishu
@@truelies5431 la langue arabe n'était pas exactement celle de maintenant toutes les langues ont changé avec le temps... Jésus devait propager le christianisme à qui veut le suivre, étant jeune il n'était pas encore dans ce message de transmission ces parents voulant le préserver à l'époque bien qu'il y avait des signes, c'est adulte qu'il a commencé et plus tard, il rassemblés des fidèles et le judaïsme étant la 1ère religion monothéiste et ça dérangé, quand beaucoup croyez à César et des Pharaons. Jésus rassemblait de plus en plus de fidèles et a été dénoncé par les responsables religieux judaïque qui ne voulaient certainement pas perdre leurs notoriété avec leurs communautés juive et aupres des romains dont ils avaient une place en tant que responsable de cette communauté juif et faire régner une tranquillité. Apres, ils ont tout fait pour qu'il soit arrêté, la suite vous connaissez, Jésus commencé à avoir beaucoup de fidèles qui ont voulu le suivre donc ça dérangé les responsables juifs à l'époque et même des non juif se rallier et se convertissaient au christianisme...
