- Dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested at Columbia University after New York police, responding to a request from University President Minouche Shafik, entered the campus with hundreds of officers to raid a Gaza solidarity encampment inside a university building.
The police action follows a directive to clear buildings and maintain a presence on campus to prevent the re-establishment of encampments.

Standing up for humanity and against genocide is NOT anti-Semitic.
Militarized police stamping out the first amendment for a foreign nation’s ethnic cleansing. Shameful what has become of American government.
Property damage and disobeying the laws of the land... harassing Jewish students on campus is not standing up for anything. That is all...go back to sleep.
You do know the abuses committed in the name of Islam ? Standing for humanity means standing against Islam , or do you agree with slavery ? Do you agree with child marriages ? Do you agree with death for homosexuals ? Is no then why support Islam ?
Palestians are semitic more than 90% of European-American-Israelis (apparently more than half of Israeli Population)
If Semitic is the case then the Israeli Zionist doing a genocide to a Semitic Palestinian. Zionist only abusing the title
Free Palestine from Israel and their supporters
Arrest Biden
It’s time Americans wake up and realize both parties are the ENEMIES of AMERICAN PEOPLE!
*“The biggest insult to the memory of the Holocaust is not denying it, but using it to commit genocide against the Palestinian people.” - Norman Finkelstein* ❤🖤🤍💚
40,000 out of millions is not genocide , look the genocides committed in the name of Islam there are a lot and far worse than this conflict . Standing for humanity means standing against Islam .
Thugs vs innocent students
Yes. Unarmed innocent students treated with such brutality. They are bullies
IDF: NYPD Division
Agree 100%
Im so sick of US’ government!
So much for a country that started wars in the name of democracy
Free Palestine ❤❤❤❤
Love for students ❤❤❤❤❤
And they have the nerve to preach democracy and free speech. Clearly you can’t criticise Israel!
Shameful!!! 🤬🤬
I cry seeing that. These young people are the bravest in the world.
The police: "To serve and protect" and now you know whom! It's not the ordinary citizen paying ordinary taxes, working ordinary jobs and asking for equal justice for all.
Domestically, US police, national guard and FBI are to serve and protect the established plutocrats oligarchs.
CIA is US foreign agent to serve same people but abroad, it’s designed to destabilize other countries, topple government and install U.S. puppet government, so it can steal countries national resources and assets. This is how imperialist operates.
it is for the Rich who create their own charities to make "Charitable Donations" to and writing it off as part of their taxes, effectively not paying tax at all while using the system WE pay for to protect them from US...
I hope Americans wake up and realize both parties of DEM and GOP are our ENEMIES, they never worked for American people, they work for TOP 1%!
All the law enforcement are to serve and protect them!

@@bikinglikebecker Yep, this is sick²
Watching America try to kill an idea is hilarious.
hey teacher LEAVE THEM KIDS ALONE......
It’s not the teachers. If the government protecting their interests! Not the citizens of the US.
We stand who those who stand with palestine✊🏽✊🏽 when will the president realize that it would stop if he ordered a ceasefire 🤔🤔👍
Just like IOF. Showing their real face.
Except the IOF would do far worse and there would be live lost!
The concept of a protest is the broadcast a message, this protest is broadcasting their message loud and clear. Free Palestine.
This make my blood boil.
That's USA who lectures other on freedom of speech 😂😂😂
And democracy ✨️
This happened on April 30th, the anniversary of the inauguration of George Washington, the man who fought for freedom and was labeled a t3rrist by the British Empire. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
It’s a democracy?
Supposedly. I also happen to be Elvis Presley.
It’s a demoncrazy. Not a democracy.
Only if you’re a Zionist, otherwise you don’t get first amendment
The students are very strong. They might due for truth. Salute all
BBC reported an eyewitness inside Hamilton Building saw at least three students being pushed down the stairs after being handcuffed! One student was unconscious!
😢
Don't be there!
The police having their Jan 6 thrills
Disgusting
Arrested on what charge? Or is this israeli style, no charge or trial?
Remember, Obama rescinded Habeas Corpus.
Country: U.S.
Government: North Korea.
REAL
North Korea: We are deeply concerned about the human right violations at US campuses. We ask US authorities to respect and uphold internationally accepted human rights including the right to speech and protests!
Who lies about every economic adversary like North Korea and starts every war on a false flag? The CIA and US government which is all owned by a handful of billionaires just like the media
This is what the U.S. government has always been, no need to make that NK comparison!
Please do not deface North Korea like that. They are actually on the side of Palestine and have done nothing even comparable to the US Empire. If you want a bad guy just say look. They're acting like themselves!
Very difficult to watch.
Cops brutalizing people is like a scene from Al Aqsa during Ramadhan every year
NSDAP - NYPD - IDF (History repeats itself)
Students have a right to self-defence
كل هذا من أجل الاحتلال الصهيوني.المجتمع الامريكي كشف بسبب هذه الإبادة الجماعية في الشعب الفلسطيني صاحب الأرض بأنه هو من يقتل بامواله واسلحته والاحتلال هو فقط موظف ومشروع استيطاني نصراني وهذا معروف ولكن المشكل الكبير هو أن الشعوب في الدول النصرانية كانت غافلة ولا تعلم الحقيقة لأن الإعلام بيد الموالين للمشروع الغربي الصهيوني.
Now the problem is the protesters, not a genocidal politician. Go figure.
Disgusting shame
Very sad to see a country which i thought I love turning to back to dictatorship
Co-Ed protests of solidarity for Palestine 🇵🇸 independence amd peace .. is the MOST Honourable..
Thank you All ...
Gaza has and will continue to reveal the reality of this world to the masses. Solidarity with these students. May they continue to hold strong. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸
Remember one day that these cops will be traceable and will either be out of a job and not have that military equipment to protect them and they will also grow old and one day expect the same young people to take care of them as if those same people cannot exact some form of revenge for everything horrible that they have done to them in their life.
They think they are free from consequences but they are not!
you sound evil and vindictive.
Shame on the NYPD!
Shame on you NYPD, you are acting like EVIL 😈 IDF.
Remember it will not stop the Students, “Spirit and Courage “. It will be fire back one day.
The Columbian Students are our true Heroes. They are fighting to save lives in Gaza. They are fighting for humanity, freedom, justice and Peace ☮️.
Love you Students, love you all Palestinian people.
🫡🇵🇸❤️👍🇵🇸❤️👏🇵🇸❤️🙏
These students are the Future Rulers!!!!!! ❤
First Amendment of the US Constitution - Freedom of speech except for Israel
We see you students 👊 ❤, thank you for standing up against Genocide!!
American police have been trained by the IDf, so their behavior is unsurprising, just shameful.
Violence vs peaceful
Democracy and freedom of speech what hypocrisy!!!!
💪❤️🇪🇭
Full Support to #Students 💯💯🇮🇳❤
Freeee Freee Freee #Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸✅
Now amerika turn to iran

The Kent State shootings (also known as the May 4 massacre and the Kent State massacre) were the killing of four and wounding of nine unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard on the Kent State University campus.
These police look exactly like IOF! 🤬😡
Now you know what Palestinian people go through day in, day out.
Welcome to the USSA
Peaceful protests is human rights
Next time I don’t want to hear from US govt talking about freedom of speech or human rights Iam so full of that.
Типичная российская полиция🤮
ой сори,😮 это же американская полиция, это же демократическая страна, как я мог перепутать? Извиняюсь, на минуточку мне казалось что это Россия,
It’s only a democracy if you’re a Zionist
Imagine when this class discovers that the currency that pays their salaries has no monetary backing, they only print?
They know this, they’re more intelligent than the average American hence why they’re on the front lines fighting Zionism while you sit at home.
United States of Israel 😭😭😭
Welcome to planet gaza...💔🖤🤍💚
Shameful!!!!!!!!
Stop the genocide !!!
NY wing of IDF, NYPD
Land of the Free ??? 🤔🤔🤔
I’m seeing this and start yelling WTF WTF WTF ETC over and over and over again because it’s so unreal I’m not understanding the why these cops are doing this because I thought we had a right to peaceful protest 🤦🏽♀️
I’m like what is this world coming to? It’s like the devil has lost its patience and is cracking down on all good ppl taking action for ppl that are oppressed 🤦🏽♀️
So this is a free country?
Those students are amazing, beside the violence they are putting their career and future on the line ❤
SHAME❗ Stop Arming Israel 🪖💰💥

Isnotreal
I think your 1 subscriber is calling you...answer the phone.
I can’t believe that this is happening in the #US. #FreePalestine
Indeed Allah is the best planer
Terrorist state of United Police State
😡😡😡
The police should be with these students because they are defending their rights and all American workers, including the police .Paying taxes for wars and colonizing lands. This is America
What’s really shady about this is that the deadline to leave the encampment was in the afternoon and they waited until after nightfall to do this.
Columbia university will be under hall of shame one day.
Looks like netayahu's crack down request is being honored. Look at his IDF "making a buffer zone" on his property in NY city..
Creeps
Western Democracy
fascists
Allahu Akbar
Join the resistance today
Alhamdulillah
Glory to the resistance
Imagine paying 80k+ a year to go to a (FORMERLY) prestigious school and you get arrested because you said something or stood outside. This is not America. We are living in Israel, apparently.
Wow!..
don't they have anything better to do than harass innocent people?
In New York City, the Mayor holds significant authority over the New York City Police Department (NYPD). As the elected leader of the city, the Mayor appoints the Police Commissioner, who oversees the day-to-day operations of the NYPD. While the Mayor and the Police Commissioner can provide guidance and set policies for the NYPD, the department operates within the framework of local and state laws.
In situations involving protests, the Mayor plays a crucial role in coordinating police actions. This can include making decisions about the deployment of officers, the use of crowd control tactics, and the overall approach to managing the protest. The Mayor may communicate directly with the Police Commissioner and other high-ranking officials to provide instructions and guidance on how to respond to protests.
While the Mayor's involvement in coordinating police actions during protests is part of their duties as the city's leader, it is essential that these actions are carried out in accordance with the law and respect the rights of protesters. If the Mayor's directives result in unjust or illegal crackdowns on peaceful protests, they can be held responsible for these actions.
If there are allegations or evidence suggesting that the Mayor is using the police to suppress legal protests illegally, it raises serious concerns about their commitment to upholding civil liberties and respecting the rights of citizens. In such cases, it may be necessary for citizens to hold the Mayor accountable through legal challenges, advocacy efforts, and other means of seeking justice.
Engaging in legal challenges to address such actions involves a multifaceted approach. Firstly, it requires thorough documentation and gathering of evidence to substantiate claims of misconduct or abuse of power. This might include eyewitness testimonies, video recordings, and expert analysis of police conduct during protest events.
Legal challenges may take the form of seeking injunctions or court orders to protect the rights of protesters and prevent further suppression. This could involve filing lawsuits against the city or specific individuals within the government, including the Mayor and high-ranking police officials, alleging violations of constitutional rights, such as the right to free speech and peaceful assembly.
To support these legal challenges, it's essential to enlist the expertise of skilled attorneys and civil rights organizations experienced in litigating cases involving police misconduct and violations of civil liberties. These legal advocates can provide guidance on legal strategies, navigate the complexities of the judicial system, and advocate for the protection of protesters' rights in court.
Additionally, legal challenges may also involve advocacy efforts to raise awareness and garner public support for the protesters' cause. This could include organizing community forums, public hearings, and media campaigns to educate the public about the issues at stake and mobilize grassroots support for legal action against unjust police practices and government overreach.
engaging in legal challenges to address corrupt or unjust police actions coordinated by the Mayor requires a concerted effort involving rigorous documentation, legal expertise, strategic advocacy, and community mobilization. By holding government officials accountable through legal means, citizens can seek justice, defend civil liberties, and uphold the principles of democracy.
I still remember when China was strict during Covid in 2022 (Covid almost over but just in case it grows again China was still strict) and Canada's Trudeau said 'the world is watching' while ignoring the fact because China was strict to prevent the virus from further spreading to other countries too
And now USA is strict because people are against géñoçide, a very not normal reason to be strict
My blood boil!?.
Shameful times
Come out students parents for your children and palastin
Exemple of a democratic society? u.s.a.? I don't think so... 🤔🤬
In America, we are supposed to have the 1A and 2A constitutional amendments. First meaning you can say almost whatever you want. The second one's even better. These police do not know either, may they find out.❤
🙏🕊🇵🇸
Gestapo
Its wrong to say 'river to the sea' because these people have that 'all lives matter' mentality, but cops harassing and beating on women is supposed to be justice??
I can't believe it's 2024 and Germany and US are still in middle age
😢
US "democracy" and "freedom of speech". Free Palestine and free the world from Zionism! 🇵🇸♥️#FreePalestine
To serve and to protect
Netanyahu speaks to American people and our government takes action 😢
What happened to free speech
Самая демократическая страна. Топтали свою основную идеалогий. Свободы слова инакомыслия.
