Anyone that lowers an American flag and replaces it with another country’s flag should get a one way mandatory trip to that country
ABSOLUTELY AGREE 👍
I totally agree ! I wonder many of these people would go Palestine and actually fight in combat for the Palestinian citizens !
Ya think 🤔?!!!!!
👍
TO NEVER RETURN!!
Criminals with delusions of grandeur.
Delusions of adequacy.

Majority of the pro Palestinian wear masks because they don’t want anyone to know who they are😮
Replacing the US flag with Palestinian flag is so disrespectful.
The USA flag is already stolen by Israel and Zionism. You will see it again when Palestine is free again
The idea that any flag would replace the US flag on any public flag pole in this entire nation is repugnant beyond words. Hurrah for the counter protesters!
Send them to Palestine... FREE!
This is the new America ....
Get used to it or move out.....
They aren't going anywhere.....

Y'all keep forgetting we have a Constitution. People have a right to express how they feel. Since 9/11, the government has a right to watch and investigate anyone that may have ties with terror organizations, also. Most of these people are natural born American citizens that have no clue as to what they're talking about. For them, it's like being in a Tik Tok challenge in an effort to gain popularity. If they really cared about people dying, they should be fighting for the people of Sudan that are displaced and starving to death. But they don't really care. They just think those keffiyeh scarves are so cool to wear, bro. 🙄 Truly sickening.
@@moondancer6488Right now on Meidas' Touch DJT's jury verdict is coming in!
It’s about time the American students fought for their own country instead of being harranged by these bullies!
The ONLY flag that should fly here is the American Flag. Kudos to the police for correcting a real injustice.
Why, then, do we have state flags? What about the UN flag? The Pride flag? The POW/MIA flag? You want universities to take those down as well.
@@RyanCunningham-tw4wd I'm good with keeping the state flags but no other. Individuals can fly whatever flag they want on their own property, but state universities aren't private.
@@RyanCunningham-tw4wd that's a dumb argument....a state is an individual in the union...every state has its own governance and a part of a whole....it's also not uncommon for individual municipalities to also have a flag....if you were an observant human (which I highly doubt) you would see there's an order to flag heights...the flag that flies the highest is first the Stars and Stripes...the next highest is state flag....followed by local....and yes...pride flags shouldn't be flown on government flag poles....I make an allowance for POW flags because it's service related....pride flag is a political statement...taking down a us flag and raising another countries flag in its place is sedition....and should be treated as treason....death is the punishment....

Is it not?
Absolutely disgusting.
Can we fight for our OWN damn country for fucks sake?
yeah, people are so easily emotionally controlled. but don't have the space to sympathize and take care of our own nation, America, which we have our owm problem to take care of instead of worrying about other country's war like israel, ukraine, and taiwan. our inflation, cost of living, increasing crimes, homelessness, hungerness, drug addiction/trafficking, sex trafficking issue, southern border issue are all being shoved under the rug again.

BUWAHAHAHA
America is not Hamas, how dare people support terrorists, tell them to leave the chaotic country
Tell that to the politicians who are supporting terrorists, like Nancy etc. Get her in jail
Can't leave. borders are closed by the military and they are bombing the safe zones they are sending refugees too, the safe zones were a lie, they are just killing everybody. Stay asleep if you want sheep but the real world is happening around you regardless.

That terroristic flag has no place in this country. No other nation flag, but the US should be flown.
Anyone replacing the US flag like that should be charged for treason.
Yes, definitely should ..
Hurts to see this. I am an immigrant from another nation. Every time I see the American flag I see the symbol of freedom. My immigrant mother worked 3 jobs to keep me fed and thriving in this nation. I love my heritage and origin but I will never raise a foreign flag over the American flag. I can’t be ungrateful to this nation

Jingoism on display
Disgrace to our country
Who let them fly that terrorist flag in place of our flag?🤬
What a disgrace. You can ask this kids 10 questions about the Middle East and they won’t know even one answer
Most of them probably couldn't tell you 10 honest facts about our own country much less an entirely different one. I'm also willing to bet a lot of these protestors aren't even students.
They won’t even know where it’s located!
Tell me about the balfore decloration. Kiddo.
They're insignificantly and ignorantly fighting random causes to find self-purpose.
They don’t know what the “middle east” is.
Never let immigrants take down your national flag no matter what.
Or anyone who wants to replace our flag with another country or terrorists flag
Palestine is not a country or a Nation they do not have a flag or a Nationality
So Israelis are immigrants as well. We took this land from the native American Indians.
@@tiffany-sheriwageman.3702there were no native americans bc there was no America.There were tribes stealing land from other tribes.Israelis were living in Israel long before the Arabs.
@tiffany-sheriwageman.3702 actually yes. This is a country made up of legal immigrants. 👏 We are immigrants, native Americans and like myself a mixture of the 2.
Leave the American flag alone! You can be about your cause, but do not put up another country's flag. Unfortunately, by your actions and disrespect no one wants to hear what you have to say. Take some pointers from the youths of past generations. They wrote music and put on concerts to bring awareness to their issues
When did it become acceptable to support terrorism? Removing our country's flags...absolutely shameful.
Hanging another country's flag is illegal. Disprespectful.
It’s not illegal. It’s part of the 1st Amendment.
@@The_Malaka Wrong
Yes, you can fly a flag other than the American flag, and there are guidelines for doing so. The American flag should be placed in the center of a flag display, higher than other flags unless other national flags are present, and flown first from left to right. Other flags can be the same size and height as the American flag, but never larger or higher.

Nope, we are all Palestine.

Same here. They didn't even know what is the meaning of palestine. They didn't know who is their first leader or their anthem. They are just shameless..

Same here brother, I'm black and proudly serve in the army. This is my home and will defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic.
I feel like a lot of black people don't realize there is no where else on earth with a black population this size that's doing better than American black people. No place on earth. You can find small immigrant communities in Europe, you can find ultra wealthy 1% communities in Africa, but no where else with a population-scale group of black people doing this well. American Black people are the most powerful black people in the history of the world, short of like literally Mansa Musa.
All AMERICANS bleed red to keep our flag flying.
Another black man here , and IT IS THE BEST better than the rest . All of my ancestors are buried in this soil
It is the best but declining

Now we need to take America and make it great again
When the 9/11 attacks occurred, Palestinians celebrated in the streets of Gaza. How quickly we forget.
Why does this feel like its treason?
This is America !! Go home if you are not from here.
Your statement was wrong. As an America-loving citizen born and raised in the Great State of Florida I can say that lots of people aren’t from here, but love our values and way of life and want to assimilate into our culture. THOSE are the immigrants we want. Not the ones who want to bring their socialism.
Please revoke the citizenship and visas of those who took down the US flag to hoist the Palestinian flag. There are several of us legal immigrants who love this country and have to wait about 100 years for citizenship.
You are the American Dream and are loved and wanted here. 🇺🇸
And that's why America loves you
I can not believe how indoctrinated the kids are!!! So sad
That’s not how freedom works though. You don’t get your citizenship and freedom yanked just for making political statements with flags, even if the statements are stupid like this was.
Talk to the founding fathers.
Americans HOLD YOUR GROUND IN JESUS NAME 🙏✝️🙏
Palestine invaded Israel and Israel responded.
Why are these people supporting the aggressors?
College campuses………where you’ll find the dumbest among us.
This is Democrat Education.
Demonstrating for the sake of demonstrating.
How "schoolish" can one be.
Not on this one. The ones putting the flag back are students. The ones removing the flag at night are not students, most ofnthem are protestors with no where else to go. They go to college campuses because it's a free public place. This one however isn't because it's not state or federally funded. Unc Berkley is a different school than unc but is connected through name and partnership

Well...considering our participation in their Genocide and Dispossession - why would they?
But it's pretty ignorant to speak with a broad brush about Millions of people.
It's not a genocide not even close. Genocide is a term for AFTER not during an extermination. Stop exaggerating and creating false equivalency to perpetuate your false narrative.@anotherworldviewispossible
@anotherworldviewispossible dispossession is because their cities are war zones and being cleared off terrorists. They can stay if they like and get caught in the crossfire
And seriously, what genocide? The combatant to civilian casualty ratio is lower than in any other urban war. You're just angry israel is winning a war that the palestinians initiated
