Too bad nobody cares this much about America.
Really!
Right
Why should people care arent American elected officials the ones currently making a genocide possible in Gaza
Right! Our politicians love giving billions to foreign countries 😂
Welcome to Biden’s America.
All those graduating worked hard and deserved a happy commencement. Some people are so jealous of that, too, they're selfish and think only of themselves. Good manners begin at home. Good school leadership begins at the school. The sooner, throughout the world, that colleges and universities, high schools, middle schools and elementary schools begin to expel, arrest, deport students who fail to abide rules and make threats, the quicker parents will learn the value of teaching good manners, kindness and care of life.
Also a lot of these people are paid protestors at least since President Trump's inauguration and May 2020. They are getting paid by Gee or ge So ros. Probably Iran, Qatar even China.
Sounds just like Germanys policies in the early 30s.
If they dont agree with us, arrest them, expell them, export them.
You didnt say the last part out loud, but you were thinking it just as much as they were.
If Palestinian is so great why don't they get their education there?
Open your eyes and heart.look at the conditions there.they are not allowed to go back to their homeland as they really wanted to.
Palestine land has been occupied by the US-backed evil entity for more than 3/4 of century. You re too blind to see.
Where exactly? They have been destroyed mate!
No education there ,all that they care is having war with Israel so they can always be victims and entitled for whatever it is..
Yeah your right
Yet the vast majority on both sides will continue to vote for the Uniparty. Bravo.
Options?
There are another options.
Arrest George soros now
Israel-Firsters are anti-American.
Sax Fifth, Soros and other anti American groups.
@@JamesB727USA is anti-american but I understand you.
jesus. Exactly, but that man is also behind many things that are destroying this country. Her is financing the Caravans from Latin America.
how about arresting genocide supporters ??
This wasn’t the place for this. Regardless of the cause, it’s disrespectful to a large number of people. Much larger in numbers than them.
It’s rude, childish, and selfishly entitled. It won’t do a thing toward stopping the conflict.
They only proved their arrogant insistence. Pushing your agenda like that turns many people away from what the message is.
WU!
So sad these protesters are finding acceptable to disrupt others education
The founding fathers would be proud.
Yah, a minor inconvenience is just unnaceptable. Dont they know they have been given a timy box where they can be easily ignored to protest inside of? Why dont they do that I wonder???
@@xijinbling2373the founding fathers would not support Hamas. Think before speaking
This is more than ‘a minor inconvenience’. It’s rude and immature. Nothing will come from it except annoyance and losing the message.
I doubt they want to lose the message, but it’s getting stale, especially when they make a completely out of place non productive scene. Inconveniencing others usually has the complete opposite effect. It’s a turn off.
Nonstop begins to look like a joke eventually. It loses the intent of a protest.
But hey.. they are perfectly welcome to go to their little box and safe spaces with their kuffeyas. Just skip a day and save it for tomorrow.
Ruining a commencement ceremony for others isn’t part of that. Skip the justification bs.
Pray against chaos
Pray for Peace on earth!!
Good luck with that.
Honestly, we need a leader, not just in the presidency of the United States but a leader, who can unite the world in a common goal for democracy and justice, someone who will and wars someone who will end tyrants Someone who could slap everyone with reality and unite behind a common goal, and that is the will of people
Pe e on Palestine

THIS isn't hurting the university, it is hurting the other students.
Is is hurting the university.
"Having a brief pause in my commencement speech means I'm damaged beyond repair." But they call MY GENERATION the snowflakes omfg
This isn't doing much to the other students. All of these are very reminiscent of the Vietnam protests at universities. We all know how those turned out
@@gunDyBeo Nice you speak for all.
Hurting them how? Students can protest and chew gum at the same time.
Imagine the level of self-importance and disdain for others to think that your personal agenda is of greater importance than everyone else. To think that you get to decide to intrude on the vast majority's plans and the stage they've built.
If I and everyone else behaved like these narcissists there would be complete chaos and ultimately constant civil strife and violence.
The root of evil is self-centered and forcing your own will on others. These people are evil.
Well said friend
Wow, sounds like you just described Israel
@@Mennaz this isn't about other countries. This is about respecting our fellow citizens. Nice try at deflection though.
I'm starting to understand why employers have been saying they can't find good people to hire. Look what is entering the job market.
True now they will be using robot coz human will only go to protest when the company will not raise thier salary so sad
Then leave your trailer park and tell them why they should hire you.
Your job market is a joke. Jobs will be obsolete in the very near future. Let’s see what becomes of you when that happens

Disgraceful. Embarrassing day for Michigan.
In fact, just the opposite, proud of Michigan!
Do people have the right to rudely barge in on a ceremony to protest for liars?
Also a liar was speaking and double liar because he knows he is darn lying. The students got enough! Paying for your indoctrination and enslavement is the most idiotic investment one can engage in.
Yes

Genuine question. Do they think this is going to solve anything? Do they think they’re making us normal people say, “wow. How inspiring. I want to support their cause!”
Do you think staying quit will stop biden from sending billions of our tax money to Ukraine
Unfortunately they are. This is what happens when a generation is told how special they are and never ever told no. For gods sake there is “queers for palestine”. Saying this as a gay man, “willful ignorance” does not quite cover it.
You would have said the same to those protesting the Vietnam war in 68.
You are watching and talking about it that spreads the message.
Well. It is a genocide in Gaza. If you ever wondered what you would have done if you lived during the Holocaust, now you know.
people need to stop trying to ruin everything for everyone else.
tell The USA that

you mean the genociders ?
Disgusting! At graduation?? No diplomas!!
Wow 🤯 you’re funny guy 😢😅
@@berealandread3107 not a bad suggestion for continuing to interrupt the lives of others.
They fail to realize this causes people to entirely ignore what they are protesting.
They aren't students.
@@LSwick-ss6nmnot really you are wrong
@@berealandread3107 not even close. What do the overwhelming comments about these protests indicate?
That the vast majority are disgusted with the tactics.
Maybe it is lost on you that when they chant "from the river to the sea" it isn't referring to unoccupied land, it literally is meant to reflect the destruction of the Jews. Hamas is extremely clear that this is their mission. Not peace.
Do you realize that the only occupation in Gaza is the Palestinians? The land they are on now was Egyptian and they volunteered to leave what is now Israel.
Those are absolute facts. No land was taken from them. The Israeli constitution called for all to live together in Israel but they left when the combined Arab nations told them it was better to leave and avoid becoming casualties of was when the Arabs attacked...not the Jews attacking, the Arabs. And it has not stopped.
Why do you think Egypt and the other nations have nit declared war on Israel? They allow Hamas and Palestinians to die because they have trapped them in Gaza and use them to fight for them. It's also because everytime they have ever attacked Israel, they lose. Even Iran's massive attack failed miserably.
And their graduation privileges have been...revoked. BIG TIME
They're not even students! They are paid protesters!!
I think they should goto Gaza and help out
Then you can go to Israel too
Well apparently Iran has offered to give scholorships to any student who gets expelled for taking part in the protests
@@Khaled-eo9mrwhy would he? He's not the one protesting
Agreed
Not the time or the place. Revolting!
You mean revolution?
@luke5100if you don't see anything violent or destructive than you are obviously lying or you don't know what you're talking about. They have barricaded themselves inside the schools they have graffitied the property that can never be returned back to normal they have broken many tables and chairs bookcases and many other things that were old very nice woodwork that has been in those universities forever and ect. Why do you find that behavior acceptable?
So sad. A once in a lifetime opportunity ruined for many.
Vote Biden, right? Or Trump?
LOL
they are probably getting their student loans paid off for this.
Imagine the lifetime opportunities that all the Gazans have had ruined because they’re no longer alive..
Having sat though several graduations, I can assure you the6 are all boring and anticlimactic
Womp womp
Hijacking a hard-earned graduation ceremony from others who just want to celebrate their special day is so low brow.
As a Puertorican i can tell you if you want to protest go to palestine why protest here we did not start this War hammas did so go there and do the same things you have been doing here for the past month
Puerto Rico is colonized by US and yet you speak like this about Palestine?
@@tkk3852
Lol 🤣 Puerto Rico is a US state.....Puerto Ricans have COLONIZED NYC,New Jersey,Chicago etc.
They came here in mass numbers a CENTURY AGO
As a Puerto Rican, you can guide us on how the police behave with those who protest in your colony-country.
Send them to the country they love and they stand for
YES! YES! YES!
now take that diploma and throw it in the trash, Starbucks is hiring...........
Will you saying that help you get out of your trailer park?
🤯 wow you are jealous of them!!!! Hasbara
Starbucks will be furloughing soon too.
He will get out of the trailer park as soon as you get out of your parent's basement
They have the right to free speech and protest. They learned that in school bozo.
If I was a parent of one of the protesters at graduation, I would be deeply ashamed of my son or daughter. How they failed by raising a selfish hate filled young adult.
We can't say that all the parents failed because at college the kids do take up a mind of their own but ashamed of them very much
If my kid grows up and takes a stand on something they care about, something in which they deeply believe, and puts their future on the line for justice and peace, then you can bet I'd be proud of that kid. You, on the other hand, need to learn what selfishness and hate truly mean. It's not the protestors standing up children getting blown to bits in Gaza, it's those who think graduation day is some sanctimonious day outside of the real world where only good things happen because that's the veil they wish to pull over their eyes.
I am proud of all of them because they are opening the eyes of many people who don't know what is going on in the Middle East and the Massacres Israel has committed against the Palestinians for more than 7 decades with our tax money.

Fun fact, most of these protesters can't find Gaza on a map and have no idea who set the start of this current round of conflict in motion.
😅 I know you are correct
Nice try buddy. Very cute.
Actually, most are college educated...😅
False fact. You cannot possibly know this.
Here’s one for you. IDf destroyed all the schools and universities in Gaza.
get educated buddy
And this is why we can't have nice things.
That makes no sense the context of this protest
@@afridgetoofar1818It makes perfect sense. We can't even have a nice graduation without Nazis and terrorists ruining it.
What's so hard to comprehend?
It will go on until it is stopped.
@@italiannn16 no, the reason we can’t have nice things is our government would rather invest our tax dollars in foreign nations than here in the US, but blame some protesters is it makes you feel better

So why is Ukraine so important then 🤔
70 % of these clowns don't know where Gaza is 😂😂😂
They can pay their own student loans too
American students do. It’s Israel students/IDF who get free education …
The ones protesting were born with a silver spoon
The bad stuff hasn’t even begun yet
That sounds a bit threatening there, Vito. Whatcha know that the rest of us don’t?
Are you making a threat?
I know that god is dead
theyre outraged over the words not the actual deletings that israel is doing, crazy
@@Vito7scalettaI used to be dead to God. Now I am redeemed of sin and alive in Christ Jesus.
They think by doing that they helping palestine, why don't they start to act real by go to Palestine and really really help them, none of them are willing go to palestine.
😂😂😂 as if visa to Palestine are easy to come by. Most aide workers have to go to Egypt or another country first and HOPE they get let in at checkpoints
Also - do you know how many volunteers have been killed actually trying to help? Be it FOOD aide or medical personnel- they’ve been literally bombed or sniped … 🤦🏼
You shouldn’t read bible as someone don’t like some of the context …..
If they have a will they'll find away to go there. And if they willing to do anything for the sake of palestinian i believe they won't afraid to die for them just like real volunteers that do the real things for the sake of other people.
You cannot get into Palestine, food and aid trickles in. Why would you think people who support them could?
There is no such thing as palestine. It's Israel. Always has been and always will be.
why are they protesting about a war that is not on our soil nor any of our soldiers involved in...
Maybe because of the billions in tax dollars we send to Israel every year. 😊
I thought israhell is the 51st state
Good question.
@@AndrewNason-ne4ddif we don’t protect Israel then God will but we don’t need to protect Ukraine or shouldn’t of released billions to Iran

Ruining a hard-earned, once-in-a-lifetime moment for other students isn’t responsible protesting. It’s vandalism and just being a self-centered, self-indulgent a-hole.
EXACTLY
Now because of this incident, every college and university administration is considering to implement new regulation on graduation commencement, such as 'no protest'.
These students should be expelled and their degrees cancelled immediately, arrested for disorderly conduct?
Agreed
It’s a shame of these students doesn’t know HAMAS is the Goverment at Gaza ????

There is a time and place for everything. This was not the time to protest.

All I’m going to say is those people are LUCKY ! This is not my graduation . 🤬
These students might consider protesting that:
1. LGBTQ’s are executed in Gaza and many try to get to Israel where they have equal rights
2. Women have few if any rights in Gaza and many try to get to Israel where they have equal rights
3. Non-Muslims have few if any rights in Gaza and many try to get to Israel where they have equal rights
4. The Palestinians are still holding and torturing over 100 hostages some of whom are Americans
5. The majority of Palestinians support the terrorist group Hamas and they have refused countless attempts at a peace deal over the years including Bill Clinton's deal back in 2000 where the Palestinians would have had 98% of what they wanted. Read Bill Clinton's autobiography if you want to see how the Palestinians turned down all his efforts at peace. And remember that there was a cease-fire and peace on October 6 until the Palestinians invaded Israel killing over 1000 innocent people on October 7 starting this current war.
6. That the Palestinians have been given numerous cease-fire treaty deals in the last month and they've refused to accept any of them.
So many will be deport ... omg ..
They will be happy to be sent back to Gaza, to join their families there.
