The Palestine Exception: The crackdown on Israel criticism at Columbia and other US campuses

- Fault Lines investigates what the crackdown on Palestine advocacy means for academic freedom in the United States.
Doxxing. Blacklists. Terminations. Investigations. Hate mail and death threats. And accusations of anti-Semitism and material support for terrorism. These are some of the ways in which pro-Israel advocacy groups have tried to silence and intimidate pro-Palestinian voices in the US for years.
But since October 7, these kinds of attacks have intensified. Constitutional rights advocates have called this a McCarthy-era moment for speech, suppression, and university campuses are on the front lines.

People shouting "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free". narrator: " They have been calling to the end of Israel's aggression in Gaza.
Why they don't file lawsuits to counter that harassment, defamation, discrimination and violation of freedom of expression?
Israel zionist lobby will silence US people untill they face legal loss at court.
Yeah they've been calling for ceasefire too, what's confusing?@@liadx2672

A poll carried out in the West Bank and Gaza indicates that 3 out of 4 Palestinians fully support the unprecedented massacres committed by Hamas.

This is for people who claim to be outraged by the alleged crackdown on palestine advocacy. It's the first paragraph from an article in The Atlantic called "The War at Stanford". Read it and ask yourself if the palestine propagandists aren't going too far. I would argue that most Americans would believe that they are going too far when a 23 year old student calls for the assassination of a US president and favors hamas rule in the US. What part of that is hard to understand for the palestine propagandists and for Al Jazeera? Here is the first paragraph of the article.
"One of the section leaders for my computer-science class, Hamza El Boudali, believes that President Joe Biden should be killed. “I’m not calling for a civilian to do it, but I think a military should,” the 23-year-old Stanford University student told a small group of protesters last month. “I’d be happy if Biden was dead.” He thinks that Stanford is complicit in what he calls the genocide of Palestinians, and that Biden is not only complicit but responsible for it. “I’m not calling for a vigilante to do it,” he later clarified, “but I’m saying he is guilty of mass murder and should be treated in the same way that a terrorist with darker skin would be (and we all know terrorists with dark skin are typically bombed and drone striked by American planes).” El Boudali has also said that he believes that Hamas’s October 7 attack was a justifiable act of resistance, and that he would actually prefer Hamas rule America in place of its current government (though he clarified later that he “doesn’t mean Hamas is perfect”). When you ask him what his cause is, he answers: “Peace.” "
You are all standing on the right side of history and are true heroes. Thank you for not allowing them to silence your powerful voices.
With due respect to everyone that cares about Gaza , West Bank and Palestine in general , THIS IS NOT ENOUGH !
On the ground , North Gaza people are starving and atrocities are being commited , non stop .
My suggestion : we need millions of people marching everyday in front of our governments , mayors , representatives .
We need billions to BOYCOTT , BILLIONS of people boycotting makes an impact .
Spread the brands , join groups to protest , unity is our best weapon .
This is too much guys , MOBILIZE , ACT .

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
😂 Wow , what a woketatd BLM cliche
stop this genocide!
Shame shame on Columbia University.... freedom for Palestine now
About twenty years ago, I was a zionist. At that time I was an instructor on an outdoor education course. Some teenage girls were on this course, and they said that they were from Palestine. I was offended that anyone would say such a thing. Palestine? In my mind a place by that name had no right to exist and should not even be spoken of. However, as a result of that encounter, my mind slowly began to change, and I began to recognise that zionism is a racist philosophy. Currently, I am reading "The Hundred Years' War on Palestine" by Rashid Khalidi.
Lol if you reading that book an with your mentality an indoctrination you are going to be shocked as it's goes completely against zionism belief an that this didn't start 7th Oct. That attack merely draw attention again to the conflict an oppression an occupation
From a Palestinian, thank you for reading and wanting to know us as humans and not continuing to be offended by who we are and have been. 🙏
Thank you. It 's a great book 👍 We need people to be aware. In our numbers we can change things.Every wasted minute is a lost life 😢
You still have much to learn and to undo those many years of brainwashing and indoctrination. Your mind is slowly opening up and broadening your perspective which is a positive thing. Keep moving forward.
Good. The courage to open our minds and meet or listen to the story of an “enemy” is all it takes to destroy the lies.
US has been complicit in the genocide of Palestine right from the beginning. Please remember there are billions of people globally who support Palestine 🇵🇸 We will not stop and will do everything we can to not just stop the genocide & apartheid policies but to put pressure to recognize Palestine as a state. IT IS NOT ANTISEMITIC TO DEMONSTRATE AND SUPPORT EQUAL RIGHTS FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON.
Bet ya won’t
Yes equal rights ❤
Nor is it anti-Semitic to say Palestinians have the right to defend themselves against the Zionists.
@@GirlsRuleTheWorld2023at least she is being positive
We won’t stop and we won’t forget. It has nothing to do with antisemitism. The better term is anticolonialism.
"The Zionists as a movement, and then the State of Israel, which emerged from that movement, declared war on the Palestinian people. In that war we saw ethnic cleansing, genocidal policies and a racist apartheid regime" ~ Miko Peled.
HAMAS COULD END THE UNLIVING TODAY, SURRENDER RELEASE HOSTAGES, PALESTINE WAS OFFERD STATEHOOD 5 TIMES SINCE 1947, THEY REFUSED FIVE TIMES, BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO SAY,ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO EXIST, KNOW YOUR FACTS JACK, INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOOLISH, IAM SURE YOUR USED TOTHAT.
Actually, this issue has its roots in the 1948 resolution that made Israel a state where people already lived, Palestinians...Zionism is bullshit, but then so is ANY religion-based thinking that supplants facts and truth, which we get from science, NOT religion...
You have it all wrong, the Arabs declared war on Israel in 1948. They lost. Stop twisting the facts
That movement was declared racist by a UN Resolution. However it was repealed as a precondition for the Israeli government to take part in peace talks with Palestine
Very sorry to tell you, but the truth is that the local Arab population already in the 20's and 30's of the previous century were killing Jews, in 1948, it was the Arab countries that declared war and started it, not Israel. Facts are a hard thing for people like you and others here I see. Check the facts. Nit some CZcams pseudo narrative
Antisemitic is a magic word: If one doesn't want to hear both sides, just accuse someone of being antisemitic and that will shut down debate. We all agree that antisemitism is bad, so just accusing someone is saying SHUT UP. Anti-Israel is NOT antisemitic; it NEVER WAS! Freedom on speech in America is inviolable, and it includes speaking up for Palestine!
Anti-Zionism is anti-semitism because it denies to Jews, and Jews alone, something that everyone else has: a homelend. But Zionists are DONE asking the world for their right to exist. They will guarantee their own right to exist and the world can eat sheet. And the Palestinians would have had their homeland, too, in 1948 if they had accepted UN Resolution 181. You know what UN Resolution 181 was, correct? But, no, the Arabs had to try to exterminate the Jews. Well, Eff 'em. They have reaped what they have sown. They never get tired of trying to kill Jews and now their kids are hungry. Well, tuff effin' luck. It's their own dang fault. Try thinking for yourself, Paddy Boy, instead of drinking the brain-dead Irish cultural kool-aid. AND EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT THE FACTS BEFORE YOU SPOUT OFF.
Or Islamophobic.
Shouting from the river to the sea is antisey. It calls for the dismantling if the only Jewish state. There are 22 Arab countries, there is already one Palestinian country, Jordan. Why would you want to dismantle the only Jewish state? That's antisemitism
AIPAC has CAPTURED our GOVERNMENT and OUR UNIVERSITIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anti-Israel isnt anti-semitic, HOWEVER what I think is that you people, calling someone racist to Palestinians is exactly what you described! Pro-Hamas doesnt listen to other opinions, calling someone a "colonist" is racist, and is used to stop an argument, which is not okay.
These young women are a modern version of freedom fighters,human rights defenders and what they're doing is a sign of hope for what they stand for.. unfortunately fights like these come at a price and they are paying for it❤️🇸🇩❤just like fore freedom fighters ✊✊
Just an example of what the US government are doing.

They say vote for democracy, but, fail to explain where democracy and Apartheid are in the same pews.
How anti Constitution/ anti American to shutdown freedom of speech. 😢 Don’t let anyone stop Americans from being American.
Freedom of speech doesn't provide legal coverage to incite violence... never has.
@@covertpuppytwo3857 If you think ending violence is violence, then you’re the one causing the violence.
@@user-id9bn1ic9v Ending the violence? Why do you believe a ceasefire is "ending the violence"? Are you not aware that on Oct 7th, the day Palestinians invaded Israel and began slaughtering woman and children there was already a ceasefire in place? Did that ceasefire end the violence? How does yet ANOTHER ceasefire end the violence? It doesn't, it simply allows time for Hamas to re-gather and re-arm to start the killing all over again! So, unless you have another option to end the violence without Israel finally ending Hamas... I'm all ears... if not, you have no clue what the situation is nor do you really even care!

@@user-id9bn1ic9v How many more ceasefires do we need to have to end the violence? Do you even know that on Oct 7th prior to the invasion by Hamas, there was ceasefire? Did that stop the violence?

indeed we have to be strong for them ones that being torn from everywhere , despites all happening they are still finding something good inside to stay strong. and to us we have to keep fight for our right as fellow humanity otherwise we just like others that became dystopian zombies merely over worldy matters and business$$
Especially Hamas. They REALLY don't care about what happens to Gazans.
@@Why_Dude_Why As much as I dislike Hamas, that's simply not true.
Then why don't they do what is necessary to stop the war? They could end it tomorrow. Their actions seem to indicate that they care more about their desire to exterminate the Jews than they do about taking care of the Gazans whom they are treating like pawns in a sick, evil game of chess. @@jfm14
@@Why_Dude_Why You and the few like you are failing dismally. Propaganda and disinformation is a powerful tool but it only works when there's very limited sources of information. It's also very naive and foolish to serve out your garbage while you have those cowards in the Isfailed army posting videos which runs counter to all the cheap pro-genocide's talking points.
Arabic is a Semitic language, stop giving the term to just Jews. Anti-Zionism or, if truly a hate for Jews, Anti-Jewishness are appropriate. Otherwise, you're still denying Palestinians the fact that they belong to the Semitic people of ancient Levant.
Totally agree! Just to add, Aramaic is Jesus language and is also a Semantic language. In other words, antisemitism term should be used to be against all semantics or abrahamic religions and not only Hebrew or Jewish.
Most Isrealis are from European ancestry. Which makes it even more complicated.
The thing is that a lot of the folks I've seen who are standing up for Palestine are anti-zionist Jews who don't want Israel to represent them. We can't let Israel decide that antizionism and anti semitism/anti jewishness are the same thing.
antisemitism was invented by antisemites as an alternative to judenhass. just stop

Students are made to feel powerless bc you have the most power. Higher education's purpose is the student. I know it's unlikely but if a mass of students withdrew for Fall 2024 semester, you'd all be able to leverage yourselves again.

I’m South African. I remember the divestment campaign against apartheid very well. It was very successful, insofar as student bodies got a lot of multinational companies to pull their investment. Unfortunately, I don’t think it’ll be as successful this time round. The Christian right in the USA, who have massive political and financial influence, supports Israel without question
I think you massively overestimate the importance and power or sway of the rabid supporters of this sickening na*I governments.
You’ll only harden people’s resolve and they will find powerful ways to resist their oppression.
The clampdown on freedom of speech is actually a sign of weakness and desperation.
Those companies are worldwide, including in countries with a huge population, like India and Brazil. It will be successful

Thank you for your countries courage and sense of justice.
Dostoevsky’s prescient 1877 thought experiment asked what would happen if Russian non-Jews were a small minority and Jews a large majority in Russia. How would Jews treat the non-Jews? “Would they allow them to become their equal in rights? … Would they not strip them utterly bare? Would they not massacre them altogether, exterminate them completely, as they did more than once with alien peoples in times of old in their ancient history?” - Which is what is happening to Palestinians!!
Thank al Jazeera
Very important to watch , thank you for being the only media outlet to put focus on this.
Thank you Al Jazzera ❤❤
I went to a townhall with our senator, Ron Wyden. The croud all wanted to know when will we stop sending weapons and money for genocide and call for an immediate cease fire? All he could talk about were the atrocities on oct 7. Oct 7 is nothing compared to what has been done to the Palestinian people. We all know that. The croud repeadidly asked about Palestinian people and he never once responded to us. My government does not represent the people. My government represents big business only. We are not a democracy. If we were my government would not be slaughtering thousands by sending our weapons, chemicals, and money.
Columbia? My condolences. Seems one of the worst places to be someone who cares about Palestine, let alone Palestinian. Glad to see the youth standing strong and not giving in to bullying and harassment.
Thank you for speaking out. It is disorientating to be in this point of time.
We are taught that our culture has IHL, that racism and colonialism is history, that genocide is a crime.
But yet there are exceptions; the erasure of Palestine.
We are asked in school how ordinary people allowed the Holocaust to happen, to marvel at the disconnect from our social values.
Now I understand.
I call on all tenured faculty in the US to either stand against racist silencing of dissent, or resign. Any other choice makes a mockery of everything you say you are about, and no one should support your claims or your interests, ever again. What would be the point, when at the moment of truth, you protect your sinecures rather than the truth?
With the Israeli bots 🤖 in the comments peddling their neo Nazi views it lets you know you’re on the right side of history Al Jaazera.

How is this administrative officer not legally liable? You could sue him can’t you? The least of it cost him his job? I know I’m naive to think that but hoping that legally you could hold him accountable to what he said.
"Most people don't know what the ulterior motive for Israel apartheid is."
"In offering “Israel” unconditional backing to effectively invade and occupy the entirety of the Gaza Strip, despite what officials may say, the United States has long eyed an opportunity to give “Tel Aviv” control over offshore natural gas resources, which, by legal rights, belong to the Palestinian state. This area, known as “The Gaza Marine,” is home to 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas resources. Although discovered in 2000, “Israel” has never permitted the Palestinian Authority to have access to it, and likewise, the Gaza Strip has long been under an effective maritime and economic blockade, which has prevented it from being developed outside of Israeli control."
Quote from Global Research article.
I think the act of setting up "Antisemitism Task Forces" on college campus is inherently prejudice.
If anything there should be an "Anti-racist, Anti-democratic, Anti-Exclusive, Anti-human defamation" Task Force that flag and address the abuse, slander or exclusion of any people or person.
The commitee members should represent a broad diversity.

The world is start debunking antisemitism fabricated label.
Search for Semitism nation.
Not for what Semitism meaning.
Because Semitism is a group of nation, a race.
But semitism they twisted the meaning to group of languages.
While modern heb. rew isn't Semitic language. Because it is invented and contains lots of yiddish grammar and words. Yoddish is germanic not semitic.
We Palestinians "Arabs in general* are Semitic nation and our language is too.

The same thing happened in the 1948 Canwell Un-American Activities Hearings in Washington State. The state committee went after University of Washington professors; ruined careers.
In my mind what is happening in Palestine is going to happen in the US. Not as a byproduct of unwise policy but from purposeful intent.
Yes. It has already begun.
Those students have a lot more courage than the Qatari government. Remember 'The Lobby: USA'? Might be a good time to grow some spine and put them out on TV.

The key solution in this whole debacle is to get corporate money out of politics.
In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that Americans cannot prevent corporations from spending unlimited money to control elections, politicians, and policy.
In Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission , the court ignored the fact that corporations are creations of state law with government-derived advantages and labeled them, in the words of Justice Anthony Kennedy, “voices,” “speakers,” and yes, a “disadvantaged person or class.”
In this Wonderland, corporations are people, corporate money is “speech,” and laws restricting corporate political spending violate the First Amendment.
Nearly 80 percent of the public opposes the holding in Citizens United and supports a constitutional amendment to reverse the decision , according to multiple polls. If Americans so clearly oppose the fabrication of “corporate people” who can use the Constitution to strike down the real people’s laws, how did the folly of Citizens United ever happen? In fact, the case is the result of a well-funded and organized 30-year campaign to establish corporate constitutional rights as a means to trump democratic laws. Indeed, Citizens United is more like a victory parade for this campaign than a stumble or simple mistake of the Court.

US umbilical cord of arms and industry to Israel is now being used by Israel to strangle the relationships between the pariah state. The Netanyahu effect.
