Palestinian solidarity protests and encampments are appearing on college campuses from Massachusetts to California to protest Israel's attacks on Gaza and to call for divestment from Israeli apartheid. This week, police have raided encampments and arrested students at Yale and New York University. Palestinian American scholar and New York University professor Helga Tawil-Souri describes forming a faculty buffer to protect students, negotiating with police, and the ensuing crackdown that led to over 100 arrests Monday night. Uptown in New York City, the encampment at Columbia University is entering its seventh day despite mass arrests of protesters last week. "In my opinion, the NYPD were called in under false pretenses by the president of the university," says Joseph Slaughter, professor at Columbia University. "The university is being run as a sort of ad-hocracy at this point, the senior administration making up policies and procedures and prohibitions on the fly, changing them in the middle of the night."

Heard of student protests in 1968, never thought everything repeats in 2024. We NEVER learned from history.
That’s why this is the perfect time to start a new society. A country “ for people” not a feudalistic nightmare. ✌️❤️
True story
Is that a joke?
How many years can we go back in history and ask the same thing? The Spanish Inquisition?
The Crusades?
The Romans?
Anything and everything else in-between??
1968...?? Really??? 🙄
1968 was triggered by the discovery that Columbia U. had connections and investments with Vietnam-War related military suppliers. Once that got out,
the sit-ins and demos. just snowballed on campus. The police were rather rough in putting it down, of course. The usual. It was also the apparent fact
that Columbia was planning on building some segregated gym or sports center nearby.
@@skontheroad He was referring to a previous event that took place at the same place as this one (i.e. Columbia U) and making it somewhat relatable by setting a timeframe that's not too far in recent history. I think the OP was legit.
No place should have genocide
Palestine‘s Hamas government admitted to taking two years to plan out their attack on Israeli “civilians” and the Palestinian people admit israel’s defense force is worn them what areas would be bomb so they could get to safety, but Hamas told them not to leave and be “martyrs.” What kind of hateful lunatic or manipulated fool supports Palestinian Hamas and how their government stole their peoples donated water pipes to turn into rockets to launch against another nation at their civilians? Hamas says the weakness of Jews is their consideration of life, no it’s their strength. Those that stand with Hamas and islamic taqiyya lies will be held accountable. Slanderer, trespassing, and threats of terrorism support for child murders are not protected freedoms.
Humans are going to do human things wether you approve or not.
Unless Muslim then it’s ok
Yeah tell that to the Palestinians that committed genocide on the Israelis

If politicians were called to the line of duty, there would never be wars
BS
There would be wars but the politicians would be soldiers
@@laurel1865,. A US Military Veterans point of view,
After 911, our Government declared a War on Terror, and deployed soldiers all around the globe to fight it.
As a Combat Vet, I'm often asked, why our soldiers fight far from our home.
Here's what I tell them;
We fight over there so people here don't have to experience the horrors these people mean to bring here. So our citizens do not experience what we do while deployed.
And, what is happening now, on these Universities, is a slap in the face of our sacrifice. These woke, entitled, students, while my brothers are fighting, and sacrificing, have invited our nations enemies onto our soil.
They're aiding and abetting them, knowingly, or unknowingly, to make a flanking move around our forward lines.
They are being indoctrinated, purposely, by forces they don't understand.
It has to stop.
By any, and all means, available
These are not peaceful protests....
These students, are not being brave. They're uneducated pawns of America's enemies.
@@unitedwestand5100 Why are you directing this comment toward me?
@@unitedwestand5100 I am aware of foreign policy. I am aware of modern and historic middle eastern history. I’m also aware of what terrorist organizations look like and how they are created.
Another aspect is Christianity. The Christian’s want a war in Israel to bring the apocalypse.
I agree with you. These students should take some classes instead of protesting over something that is trending.
I think it’s scary that they are literally dressed like ISIS.
My comment was in reference to history. Historically, the king would be a brave solider who could conquer and kill better than anyone else, which is why I said that politicians would be soldiers if politicians had to fight on the front line. It wouldn’t eliminate politicians

*I am an old man who was a student in 1968 when we took over our university in Dublin, Ireland in solidarity with the students at the Sorbonne in Paris. In my case our philosophy class used our lecture hour to have a debate moderated by our lecturer in Philosophy. In the days during that turbulent week with meetings in the library run by the student union, I never saw one policeman. What a difference I see with what is happening in the United States.*
American legal system is a clown show! That president needs to arrested. For lying to the police in order to cause harm.
I strongly suspect that it will catch up with her. Clearly she is frightened of losing not just her job, but her career. I do understand. Yet, when we make decisions based on fear, we usually make mistakes.
No, she was not lying, she realistically evaluated the situation and rightfully believed there is a danger for Jewish students. She did the very right thing - call police when there is a dander.
@@arthurgreene8799I strongly suggest that Columbia will go deep down after this shameful students and faculty behavior. Big changes ahead of Columbia and possibly Yale too.
You are allowed to call police if you feel someone is in danger. That's why police takes calls from schizophrenic people as well. The danger is very real to them. What the police should do is assess the situation, investigate, and act accordingly.
@@yowaikemen The po-lice are the WRONG TOOL to use in almost all situations. Especially those involving legitimate, peaceful student protests or as you suggested cases where mental health is involved.
When people start talking about 2000 years ago, you know they have no interest in today's truth.
Precisely.
Well said...in fact the Palestinian people of Gaza were probably Jewish 2000 years ago.....look at their DNA
Wrong! What happened 2000 years ago (which has been falsified by ALL wicked leaders of EVERY nation around the world) is precisely why, what is happening today is happening. History did not begin in 1945.
You bigots don’t want to talk neither about “2000 years ago” nor about today’s truth. You are lying about both…😜
More recent and relevant history- In 1834, 33 days of massacre of jews by Arab Muslims is called the Safed Pogrom. For the last hundreds of years jews have history in the M.E> the Genocide and expulsion of the jews had made you believe they never existed. The jews were indigenous. There was no 'occupation'. These events ensued before the Balfour Declaration, there was no Palestine and no Palestinians in those days.
Bibi say...
USA do... 🤮
My child is a student at one of these schools currently shut down due to protest. The protest rep says PEACEFUL PROTEST. Well, if you are barricading yourselves into campus buildings, spray painting “f*^k cops” on school buildings, defacing a memorial bench for a beloved Jewish professor and damaging school property, and protesters attacking police: you are NOT A PEACEFUL PROTEST!! You are a vandal and should be arrested. My student should not have to feel fear walking on her own campus over something the remaining students have NOTHING TO DO WITH. Freedom of speech and freedom to protest cannot come at the cost of freedom of another’s safety and livelihood. The protesters lost my support the second they vandalized my child’s school. They are NOT PEACEFUL AND NOT COOPERATIVE. The protesters have refused to meet admin for discussion.
People who support these peaceful protestors would be very surprised and upset if these protestors vandalised their houses((( they would call the police to come and protect them!
😂😂😂 a Jewish Zionist bot
The admin was worried about scaring Jewish donors away

I am extremely proud of the faculty of Columbia. It seems that a number of them have the courage of their convictions. I understand that the college president is in fear of losing her career. I really get that. However, listening to the first speaker, it appears that she has set herself or the school up for several lawsuits. The population of students does include children of wealthy families or professional families. I think there’s a probability that they will have the resources to file lawsuits against her and the school. I do feel sorry for the president of Columbia. It appears she reacted out of fear. The worst decisions I have personally ever made were based in fear.
FBI : Federal Bureau of Israel
Trope much? Columbia is a private university and in no way has a mandate to allow classes to be disrupted. Protest off campus or get to class. We as parents pay good money to have our kids fettered trying to get their education.

@@TheDog951 However what? There is no private property exception to the Bill of Rights. And the protestors are students and faculty there; so they're not trespassing.
Hate crimes against Jewish people are not equal rights. Jews are a protected class and now extremely wealthy 👍
Do these protesters also support our dear president xi jinping and Putin ?
This cowardly president of Columbia university needs to be fired for throwing her school and the rights of the students to peacefully protest under the bus
NO he Needs to be Removed from this country along with ALL THESE OTHER MONSTERS!!
Why because they are saying the truth somebody can’t hear
Student's have a right to protet but not to occupy the quad with an encampment. That's in the student handbook. Been there since '68

Salute “democracy now” for great impartial piece of news! It’s a shame that world renowned universities are barring their students to express opinions! Need solidarity among the students irrespective of colour, caste, race, and religious background against this genocide.
This protest at Columbia University was inspired by the 1968 protest against the American war in Vietnam 🇻🇳 and we have decided to follow the same course ❤
Absolutely despicable behavior by the university administration, police, and politicians. I hope the movement grows to massive proportions as a result.
You are an ignorant. Look up the definition of the Arabe word 'TAQQIYA'. Then revisit your op.
Its classed as private property that means the owners of the property have the last say in how it is used. If they dont want the demonstrations taking place they can call the police who can issue trespass notices or if they want arrest them. This is how it normally works where private property is involved.
Especially Biden's--as if he and Trump were competing for Aipac

To that last point at the end: So, in other words, the university has strict guarantees protecting the right to protest, but only until somebody exercises that right. It's not meant to be real, just virtual.
Looks like that's the case. As long as you don't protest against how they think.

Not all of them, duder. Blanket statements are juvenile.
Not all of us. Our bodies and for many responsibilities for young children, jobs, lack of transportation or community can and often does prevent us from being on the front lines of these causes. Protesting, for the most part, are a young persons part of the dynamics. The older generation are using their positions and influence, if they have them to fight back against atrocities in other ways.

The question that needs to be asked of Administrators is "Why are you running interference for the Genocide"? The other question is "Why do you never listen to Students?"

Surely it's that OTHER Lord, or group of Lords doing this. Not mine. Not the ones of my house. Him, her, or they wouldn't do that, from up on their mountain of wealth where they speak truths about how vile and less than human your house actually is.
As automation gets more refined, the jobs get scarcer and specialized work becomes less common, the peasants have to accept what they are given.
Thus the middle class erodes away...
Western cilvilization is doomed to fall. Like Babylon. Power will always be in the people. We creat reality. The Parasitical leaders the government companies war complex though, we all need to wake up. I believe in fighting a good battle. They're fooling everyone because presidents and their secret societies buddies are just slaves and actors. So, we can come together and create our own. I agree with that part in the constitution where it says no big government should come to power or eles it's up to the people. I believe that we have been in those times and need a change now, but everyone is too fooled by the black magician words. Caught up in evil witchery that controls their awareness. Its True that ordinary people don't know who amd what they're and social conditioning already sets a path for them. Only warrior learn to fight of the effects of social conditioning.
Blocking 'jews' from accessing campus, that's illegal. Imagine if people did that to Muslims after any one of their thousands of atrocities. These overly privileged people deserve jail.
No one is being blocked by the protesters, the campuses can be accessed by all students. Perhaps the Israeli students should be with the rest of the Jewish students who are protesting the genocide that Israel is committing against the Palestinian people. Hundreds of thousands of Jewish students and adults are against what the state of Israel is doing. You are on the wrong side of history buddy, Israel is slaughtering Palestinians after keeping them in an Apartheid state for over 7 decades.
I'd block them too😂
Calm down. Nobody's hurting the Jews, unless it's their feelings.
It's the ppl of Palestine who are the victims here. They are paying w their lives. Not the Hamas but the civilians.
How can you ppl, who are supposed to be smart and educated, buy into this "antisemitism"?
Sunshine, the victim card is covered with blood.
@@sunshineandwarmth Your name is an oxymoron. You're blocking a group of people from entering a school because of their ethnicity, that's pure bigotry. They all deserve jail, at best.
Good days for lawyers. These students must sue universities. It means free tuition from now on.
Peaceful protest is a rite!😢
by any means necessary , or do we all forget that how freedom has always been won , why do we all think this is meant to change . this is humanity we are truly shit !
They kept calling it an insurrection when we did it on Jan 6
@@bigjimtenbillionit was ,you were trying to keep in power someone who lost the election, traitor.
@@bigjimtenbillion is that a like comparison, who was dyeing or what war for the 6th , its with in reason , but everything in this day is hyperbolic in nature , the fact is FREEDOM in history is always obtained with WAR 100% Fact, not a feeling that's what fact is . unarguable . its also my FEELING that war is so wrong . In life id have to say no freedom is worse than DEATH
@@bigjimtenbillionwah ,wah ,not fair that my twumpy lost the election, wah wah , not fair ,I want my twumpy
Stand up & protest this horror! Thanks for your courage.
I’m ashamed to be an American.
Ahhh there’s allot more that are ashamed of you ..
Then leave!All you old ,pathetic hippies looking for a cause!GO ISRAEL!GO TRUMP!
Shame on your stupidity
It's being done in your name and every Americans name, and if you're a taxpayer, it's being done on your dime
Silence is consent
Please move to gaza.. like, now.
You are not an American.. you're hamas
Thank your for the report and great analysis. We all know how campus movement can help advance the social agenda such as ending the tragic Vietnam war.
This has been breaking my heart. I'm a constitutional conservative, and I cannot stand to hear about these authoritarian measures against these protestors.
The kids are okay ❤
The Code Pink Flotilla was stopped in Turkey, on the way with food and Medical supplies for GAZA.
THE U.S. ORDERED THAT THEY NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE.
Dont know if they are underway again or not.
It seems to me that our Federal and State Representatives along with the police and college administration have forgotten who are paying their wages.
It's nasty to arrest these students. An arrest record can seriously affect a student's career life.
That's a big part of the intimidation.
Control through threats.
Boo frickin hoo
Throw your education away for being mean and stupid. Your there to get a degree so you can make enough $ to pay your bills and become a responsible member of society. Any bum can riot and get thrown in jail.
Colleges job is not to set foreign policy anyway.
@@patriciaeddy7629silencing the truth is what they do.
Their records should be erased. They were trespassed while still students in violation of the university's own procedures, but the Zionist donors are acting like corporate owners.
"When injustice becomes law resistance becomes a duty"
I love that quote who said it?❤
@@rumpelcita There are chances it's Thomas Jefferson but not certain as per some late research. In my opinion the most important is its content. in the same context Saint Augustin said in the 4th century " an unjust law is no law at all"
Resonates with Kant’s moral obligation or moral duty without exception.
The right to peaceful protest is the first amendment. There were no imminent threats to persons or property!! Stay strong protesters!!
Sadly, we are living in post-Constitutional America.
The protest organizers should sue Columbia University and the president for unilaterally calling the NYPD for arresting the protesters.
These kids should be hailed for bravery not suspended and arrested!
Same sh*t different day. Vietnam protests grew when the NationalGuard merked four unarmed students at Kent State in the 70s. We were on the right side of history with that movement same as these people are today.
They are morons.
Meanwhile that little punk got praised for murdering people for burning a cvs. Settlers!!!
BLM and Palestinians life's matter!
These adults need to be interrogated for terrorism and sent back to their home countries or be sent to jail.
Friendly reminder to not engage with the IOF trolls in the comments trying to gaslight and distract. Just keep on protesting everybody!
My comment just got taken down supporting engagement. YT is monitoring for anti-Zionist thought. I'm a paid subscriber to YT. This is rubbish.
How Ignorant!
@@J3unGI did not get my daily notification of Democracy Now. I had to go looking for it.
Silence is violence.
It's amazing how AIPAC manipulates the American Political system in Americas face. Americans are being arrested for protesting against human rights that Israel commits, but Israelis put Americans in harms way and are rewarded for it..tell me no one sees something wrong with that?? Is America that vulnerable or it's just a failed experiment?
Joseph Slaughter, said it perfectly. He knows his facts!
What a sad state of education in the US.
Meanwhile the effects of the sick government actions and decisions based off of greed and ego, on our students. And not a single word for them from the servants in power?.
IKR, so many Americans uneducated about the control of Congress by AIPAC.
Thank you Amy, Juan and the DN team. This episode is appreciated as I believe the adjunct professor guest. The Palestinian scholar comes across a bit vague. Scaring or threatening Jewish students should be off limits. I just watched a CNN video from New York with pro-Palestinian students & activists heckling and shouting Jewish slurs. Peaceful protests are appropriate, what I saw is not.
You sure it wasn't a trump rally. We aren't as cilvlized as you wish we were.
All public funds need to be cut to these schools
Everybody has to protest now in every imaginable way. Write to your local and national political representatives, go protesting on the streets, tell all your friends and family what is going on and that Izrael has to be stopped NOW. Free Palestine!
Only humans can stop genocide
Herein lies the problem. The Right won't do it they stand 100% with Israel, and the majority of the Left won't do it because they are afraid it might hinder Biden to be reelected.
Faculty and Students don't own the University. They are there under contract and tuition agreement. They certainly can be trespassers since it is not their own campus
yawn...
One of the best responses I've read.....
They're not happy in Gaza ..
They're not happy in Egypt ..
They're not happy in Libya ..
They're not happy in Morocco ..
They're not happy in Iran ..
They're not happy in Iraq ..
They're not happy in Yemen ...
They're not happy in Afghanistan ...
They're not happy in Pakistan ..
They're not happy in Syria ..
They're not happy in Lebanon ...
SO.. WHERE ARE THEY HAPPY?
They're happy in Australia ..
They're happy in Canada ..
They're happy in England ..
They're happy in France ..
They're happy in Italy ..
They're happy in Germany ..
They're happy in Sweden ..
They're happy in the USA ..
They're happy in Norway ..
They're happy in Holland ..
They're happy in Denmark ..
Basically, they're happy in every country that is not Muslim and unhappy in every country that is!
AND WHO DO THEY BLAME?
Not Islam.
Not their leadership.
Not themselves
THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN !
AND THEN- They want to change those countries to be like, THE COUNTRY THEY CAME FROM WHERE THEY WERE UNHAPPY!
Excuse me, but I can't help wondering...
How frigging dumb can you get?
That's brilliant, thanks ❤
But, of course, this issue has nothing to do with Islam. Nice try but irrelevant.
@@ufz777 Yes you are correct. Just thought it was as they are all covered from head to toe which is not even a fashion in the Middle East. Maybe for the cold
@@milroybyrde1106 They? Have you been to Bosnia? 😅
Our young people are having to teach morality to their parents and grandparents generations 😅
Free Palestine 🇵🇸❤️
Yeah Jihadist morality :)
what morality? calling for end to israel ? hating jewish and christins? what do u offer for the west to let u in and live here, hate ? ur supremacist freedom fighters who are terrorists to humanity? ur jihad stole holy jewish lands for 1400 years, now,u lie and try to make israel the occupier when u people are the occupiers
They did they same with Vietnam , they never learned shat . Too many have passed
Rape and mutilation are not moral
@@edwinamendelssohn5129 Right so you must oppose the IDF, since there are multiple credible reports from the UN that their soldiers have engaged in both of these crimes
Or does your morality only extend to brown people?
Stop the killings in Gaza! Students are calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. What is the problem with that?
Return the hostages first. The ceasefire was broken by Hamas in November, which was supposed to return all hostages in exchange for withdrawal and stop to the war machine.
@yowaikemen you get a hostage return with a ceasefire. Bibi doesn't care about the hostages.
@@yowaikemenyou think the hostages are still alive 😂😂😂😂 IDF is the Nazis
Get rid of hummus already , get a reasonable leader
They are supporting a terroist organisation
American universities must choose faculty members who are intelligent and responsible enough to deal with situations
You cannot bring a person from the Middle East and countries of oppression to teach students about freedom unless he understands its meaning
A question for the presidents of universities that suppress students and their freedoms
Who will trust your education or send their children to you after this behavior?
Damn, what a rotten era we live in
Therefore, we pessimists say that the laws of darkness in ancient times have not changed, but only the method of delivering them has changed
Greetings to the presenter and guests on the program. Greetings to you from the country of oppression, Saudi Arabia
I’m seeing all these university protests pop up across many US campuses. Obviously I’m far too young to have experienced this but I can’t help but feel like it’s the late 60’s again. Young people, from all walks of life, sticking it to the man.
I hope these students and protestors are safe. And these protests, I feel, are only going to spread everywhere. Already there have been protests at the American University in Cairo for example.
I’m hoping that a wave of equally inspiring poetry and musical creativity comes along with this movement. God knows we need it.
Stay safe. Peace 🖖😇
Not the dreaded folk music scare of the 1960s. I was a musician then and I am still writing anti capitalist songs!✌️❤️

Go to Gaza and do that dare you

Cowards, one billion protesters and not one volunteer
Well, we’re finding out who’s organizing and funding this, best disinfectant, light, and transparency, and it’s quite interesting
Schools should be establishments of education, not cucks to the Military Industrials Complex.
Not according to how they've set up social conditioning for the rest of us. You see, although these people claim to serve the land of the free and protect our freedoms, they do the exact opposite as soon as it isn't in accordance with the way they've set up social conditioning and how they wish to condition society and the culture.
Very sad. people demonstrate and care about innocent civilians killings in Gaza while the Gov approved billions of dollars assistance to the killers.
Seriously?….😂
Yep, pretty much.
The world is upside down. Definition of moral decay.
None of Americas business, go to the middle east and whine , we have bigger problems in mericuh
Main message here. and it will always ring true.
