- Protests against the war in Gaza have spread to universities across the United States. Several colleges have closed campuses, and hundreds of students have been arrested.
In New York, Columbia University has extended a deadline by 48 hours for student protesters to clear the campus. The university says students have agreed to dismantle a number of tents.
Police have warned they will clear the entire camp, if the demonstrators fail to leave.

Criticizing Israel or the two state solution is not antisemitism. That is a policy position.
So you're saying a one state solution is the way to go? And who's going to head that? Jeez think about what you're saying.
@@jas46721 as weird as it sounds, the truth is: a palestinian state will not help them in any way. the state of palestine already has a seat in the UN. But that does not stop the idf from raiding and kidnapping people from west bank without consequences. what they really need is an army that can protect them. MORE statehood will not solve anything.
@@nvmtt1403who is kidnapping who? And what are the reasons for the raid?
@nvmtt1403 then why do the US and Israeli governments oppose it? Also, Palestinians do not have a seat at the UN: they only have observer status
@@sweethart2540please enlighten us. How many Palestinians is Israel currently holding without charge? And how long have they been like that?
Him calling for a ceasefire while at the same time continuing to arm the aggressor is not genuine. So no the goal post has not moved.
It's not antisemitism to criticize war crimes.
Why did it take 6 minutes to mention divestment, when the first 5 minutes were supposedly about what kind of pressure the students are putting on the university and the government?
DW wants to divert the focus of the news. DW represents Israeli, not students
Don't mix anti-semitism with anti-zionism. And if there was a word to describe anti-Palestinians, that word would apply to most Israelis
Since when is freedom of speech and standing up for human rights a threat?
Freedom of speech can be a threat when calling for the elimination of a group of people. I'm not saying all the student are shouting antisemitic bs, but enough people have been for it to be a real problem.
@@CodeLife_12 Well, currently Israel is calling for and attempting to eliminate a group of people.
That's why they are now on trial for genocide and are ordered to stop their actions in Gaza.
@CodeLife_12 like the Israelis are eliminating the palestinan people?
@@lucasregisgdon’t the Palestinians want the Israeli people eliminated? Haven’t they been screaming for the genocide of Israel for decades? If not for what Hamas did on Oct 7 wouldn’t most of those 35,000 people still be alive?
they told them they cant be camping out...if the homeless can do it why should they
Apparently it is wrong to oppose genocide these days
Its not a genocide. 30K dead does not mean genocide. Thats just sad war truth, people die.
Israel did not start this.
alot of the ppl dont even know what their protesting for
@PokemonSicness I concur that they are calling for self-destruction.
Do not deliver more arms. Not clear?
Not clear
This reminds us of the protest during Vietnam war.
Hippies protesting the Vietnam war weren’t calling for the eradication of South Vietnam nor were they championing the Vietcong…
Different in that to protest against the Viet War, they were not protecting the Hamas Terrorist Groups.
@@fc2790nobody is, bud
The difference was that the Vietcong’s were not rapist terrorist’s as Hamas
Is nothing like it. Vietnam didn't invade American. This are fools being used by a terrorist group
Saying Pro-Palestinian movements are "Antisemitic" is like saying the Civil Rights movement was "anti-white" or that feminism is "anti-men".
Nope. You just don't really understand the reality of the cause you're supporting. It's okay. It's an honest mistake that many people are making. But when the Iranian theocratic leadership supports what you're doing ... That should give you pause.
I promise you that the women of Tehran who were protesting their own government last year REALLY don't understand why westerners should want to support this cause.
@@RobespierreThePoof Right
@@RobespierreThePoofbecoz us had history of invading other countries
@@RobespierreThePoof funny, it's always dismissal this, Iran that, Hamas this, but never actually an explanation as to why criticizing the policies and wartime actions of two nuclear armed states/government is anti-Semitic... So please, enlighten us.
The main purpose of education is to create better world by solving life problem's but not to destroying the world by genocide war and that's why the students against any criminal action against humanity and distrusting the peace and stability of our world
To madam the first correspondent: Their demands are very clear and is not towards Joe Biden... have you listened to them? Correspondent #2 did his homeworks.
More journalists have lost their lives in Gaza than in any other conflict. A crime against humanity
Don’t give up. Make a stand now for the sake of everyone in Palestine.
Students once again alone vs fascists, big money and media.
LOL. did you even know what those words mean?
They work their whole life to get into these schools and throw it away for a terrorist group.Even with their faces covered you could still tell who they are.Nothing is a secret with the internet.
Yawn. These students are doing nothing new. The boomers they are protesting against are the same hippy, flower power jokes from the sixties who did the same thing....history just goes around in cycles.
The young people in the USA, in Israel, and elsewhere in the world can make a change! They did it earlier also. Remember that once upon a time, when the USA was fighting a hypocritical and cruel war against a nation in distress, Vietnam, it was the young people who rose and discredited this war, made it impossible to continue, and, for the time being, they changed the world.
when the news is full nothing but bias and bs scrip actor the student are doing a great jobs in bring light to waht realy be happening in Gaza
It seems perfectly reasonable that the US should put conditions on the aid that was just approved in the Congress. Netanyahu’s goals are completely unrealistic and this will be a bloody, endless muddle unless the US tries to shape the outcome.
Says who? You? A nobody? Lmao 🤣
I personally think Hamas need to be destroyed, but I think the way the war is conducted is sketchy to say at least. I also think it's best to put a condition on the military aids but I don't know if it's realist to do that without compromising the aids to Taiwan and Ukraine
Students are asking for true democracy, justice and equality
So is Israel!
Peace to everyone and everyone
Against any criminal action and lose of life
Students who are undergraduates and gullible to the domineering face of hate (islam).
@GreatlyBlessed1989 Well they need to end the occupation or let Palestinians have a say in Israeli politics. Anything less than that is Apartheid.
It's better late than sorry.
It's time to change policy.
"They vote with their pocketbooks, they vote on social issues" what part of this is not a social issue? This is not a foreign policy issue, these is about moral principles and justice. Pls stop conflating this as a foreign policy issue when it's obviously not. And DW must challenge this obviously flawed reasoning!
It used to be that people would build tunnels to protect and shield people. Now they use people to protect and shield tunnels.
Where ever you go there you are
NYC? IDF using Human shields, check your facts...
You mean the tunnels under hospitals that Israelis built while they had control of Gaza years ago?
freedom is a must
Not when you call for the destruction of a nation.
We can criticize any countries except Israel.
Supporting Palestinians is not antisemitic
Worth watching only after 4:13. WHY? Why kick the students out? Let them speak. You can't have "democracy" without occasionally having to hear the other side and be "uncomfortable". Keep Police out of it. Look at their brutality during peaceful Boston protests.
These students make me proud to be American.
She bring's up 68. That was a protest against the Vietnam War. Four students were shot and killed. Others were shot but lived. This does not resemble Wall Street. Either she does not bring up 68 or you have the wrong spokesman.
@scpython1 You are repeating yourself bot!
@scpython1Hasbara boy
Kent State protests were May 4 1970. It is 9 days until the 54th anniversary of sending in the National guard..
Anti-Zoinism and Anti-semitism is not the same.
Young people are the hope for democracy in our country. Old and corrupt politicians are a threat to democracy. You can change this state, you can change the world. Don't give up!
Young people are very easily manipulated
Samo, samo. Old people were young too and some of them wanted to change this world.
Agree!
You do realise the very boomer generation that these young people are protesting against are the same people who were protesting the Vietnam war and we're fully involved in their petty flower power, peace movement?
The American illusion of freedom is about to shatter
this woman is nuts
Yes she's nuts. Smoke too many weed. 1968? This is nowhere compare to 1968. 1968 two public figures were assassinated, an unpopular war in Vietnam and those students were scared, because we still had a draft in place.
At the end of the day , people will stand against injustice , not politicians.
People, smart people that is, will stand for FACTS AND CRITICAL THINKING.
They are on the Right Side of History in this One.
Americans, show us that you are a real democracy. Show us whether you stand for genocide or for human rights.
So, why are we not protesting against Russia for invading Ukraine? Putin killed a lot and still kiliing innocent civilians which can be classified as genocide. Why did we not hate him as much as we hate Israel now for defending itself and killed civilians in the process? Did any of these clueless students realizes hiw many of thise killed in Gaza are actually terrorists? When they killed 1k plus innocents, was that not genocide? And still holding 132 hostages and refuses peace talks, what do you call that? I can’t believe what we have become! Totally clueless about history, current events and even religion. All we do is hate with our mouths and hearts! America was never like this until those who came from the countries their religion destroyed were allowed to come and live in America. Good luck to our future!!
When did America ever stand for human rights?
@@adonaibaptiste4803It’s the largest free democracy in human history …
No it is not. Its just all a show. It is one of the biggest corrupt nation in the world with the highest warmongering acts in the last 70y. Everything the US does is for the sake of war and money. They dont really care about their own civilians, let alone abroad human rights@@MovieGuy808
😂😂America is having a strong democracy at local level means at county level.. but at level of federal everything is not for the people but for USA global hegemony and dollar... USA foreign policy is not based on its people but on dollar being the global reserve currency and for that US will do whatever it takes. And if Dollar crashes these same people will go after all these politicians and they know that... It is a vicious cycle of survival. 😂😂and a modern comedy if u ask me to see an empire crumbling before my eyes
Unsafe for most student who want to take the final exam so stressful 😕
Stressful as the bombs destroying Gaza?
The problem is the DEI staff. All capable persons have left and crooks took over!
i really don't know the problem with people protesting. The people have rights
yep, putin don't allow protests either.
@scpython1 The only outsiders are the rich donors that think they can control freedom of speech when they don't like the message.
48 hours more 😱 what a spineless President
oppressing the students only makes more and more people standing with them.
2024 could produce a chaotic election like 1968, with the war in Gaza replacing the Viet Nam war as the hot issue of the time. But over and above pedestrian parallels, politics in election years is always unpredictable.
What kind of political analysist is she , one of the demands protestors had is to disinvest from Israel.
Peaceful protest
Pro Hamas protest
Imagine if this passion was used for the homeless and hungry in their own country
Hamas MUST end
Study the issues from those that have lived it:
Mr. Mosab Hassan Yousef and Ms. Ayaan Hirsi Ali...
Understanding?
You are open to manipulation of your lives are you sure you want to damage your lives for a terrorist group?
There are only 300-400 students require a University with 30,000 students have to follow their requirement, is it logic here??, if they don't agree with the University Administration, they can choose stop studying here and go to the other University
If you don’t like the way our government does things perhaps you need to leave . Is that better for you? That’s what you said
So if you do t agree with your country’s administration, you leave your country? Sounds like a working democracy to me.
Quite honestly, the last week of classes is already here. Then it is exam period. Professors can't and won't cancel exams. So the protesters will simply have a hard time passing their courses this term. That's the reality.
Young idealists are never realists. But this really isn't a big deal
WHY THESE STUDENTS DID NOT CONDEMN HAMAS ATTACK?????
Who funded Hamas to destabilize Gaza? Why did Hamas attack? Who has been the colonizing force in Palestine? Who has forcefully removed generations of families from their homes?
Israel. Israel is the answer.
Come on. It’s not rocket science.
Why don't you focus on your dictator, Modi?
Because HMS is a resistance group operating under international law in occupied territories. Most of the world is backing them...
Why don't Israelis condemn the murder of Palestinians in the West Bank?
These protesters are above 18. Here is the problem that I see. They are adult.
The message that this movement is sending is cause of concern.
I guess threat ,fear, arrest may not be a good idea.
What are you smoking ?
Who has DW on the payroll?
As an American while I don't agree with the protestors I do support their right to do so
Freedom of speech is our most valuable right in the United States
I do think that the protestors are being reactionary without actually knowing the history of Israel and Palestine, going all the way back to May 14, 1948
I.E. the day that Israel became a country and the Palestinians started calling for their extermination
As I see it neither side is in the right and they are both behaving badly
I would rather we not give support to either
Oh man, here we go again. Go Young People!
The struggle of these children is not the Palestinian struggle, but the struggle for humanity and freedom. If Zionism cannot be stopped, all humanity is in danger. What needs to happen to see this?
You are on the wrong side,Israel is rhe only country with human rights in the midle est you are protesting in favors of evil regimes.shame on your ignorance.
I have changed since the day I saw the letter of the leader of Iran to the youth of the West
Instead of arming Ukraine and Israel, US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education and homelessness
what a beautiful sight of view
This is hate speech
Should be kicked out of school
What happening now is what the world and media denied for decades now. For decades Palestine have been reaching out their voice yet no one had listened, now the world is speaking on behalf of them. When is the time to speak?, before we could no longer hear them?!
You want to make change run for office
Why don't the Palestinian people who have lived on Palestinian land for generations have the right to establish a Palestinian state? Why?
Why do Israelis who arrived after World War II have the right to establish a state? !
Ancient Egyptian wrote the Merneptah stele that Israel was there first.
@@1ndragunawanwho cares who was first, both have to split and share the land
There was a mass migration movement after WWII, but many Israeli still lived there at the time. And can you blame them for wanting to stick together, after they were hunted down in multiple countries because of their identity? The fact of the matter is that both the Israelis and the Palestinians have ancestors on that land and both have a right to be there. This is why the issue is complicated.
@@smallpeople172 the conflict wouldn't have happened if Arab countries accepted the UN partition plan in the first place.
It's more realistic to say humans will colonize Mars instead of peace in that part of the world.

True, they don't look Native-American but they are American nevertheless.
Oh wait, you think Americans are suppose to look like Europeans?
And you’re the judge of that huh?

Police clash with pro-Palestine protesters at UT Austin
Your guest is Your guest appears ignorant of the fact that Columbia students have articulated clearly their moral demands.
Playing remarks immediately before your correspondent details student moral demands seems unnecessarily embarrassing for the first speaker
These students are on the right side of history see what happens to freedom of speech and Western government democracy bs
Nope they aren’t. The new brown shirts
Relocate gaza to ny !
Ukraine too?
Relocate Israel to the UK and US. They were the ones who wanted to give them their own state.
Every constituency should have a student stand in elections! Both parties are from the same floc!
This world doesn't bother me. People do.
Tell the protests to go palestine
Tell your government to stop funding wars abroad and spend their budget in local problems you already have over there
@@fairuzmaileen5691 bravo israel
Nice Israeli bot you have there, user 4564fmjyu. I was wondering why these comments had so many likes, y’all are botting the comments. You know you’re on the right side of history when you have to resort to that to make it seem like you have grassroots support.
@@user-qr9rv3th2o Lollll. Suddenly you guys don't like protests when it hits your face. I love the hypocrisy.
They cannot go to Palestine because Israel currently does not let in anyone, not even journalists. Same for the international Freedom Flotilla that intends to sail to Gaza.
This is not going to stop. The information is at hand. Whoever respects human life and justice cannot remain indifferent to the genocide in Gaza, the complicity of the elected politicians and their attempt to repress the protest to impose themselves by force.
When farmers protests in India, its protest. When pro Palestinians protest in Germany or USA, its unauthorised protest....😂😂😂 The hypocrisy bruv
When farmers protest yes we should listen! They feed the WORLD goofy.
@@shanyamclaughlin8083 do you mean we shouldn't listen to other protests because they aren't farmers? I support any group that's protesting. But it's hypocritical reporting when the actions of the farmers and others are the same.
The rest of the world are with the students.
Apparently it is wrong for Universities to protect there campuses from propoganda and politics students are there to study not engage in politics if they really wanna do something go boots on the ground and leave there blanket of campis protection😂😂
This is a politcal festival😂 they don't actually have skin in the game
WHY THESE STUDENTS NOT DEMANDING HOSTAGES RELEASE. . ..FROM HAMAS ....
.OR ..THEY ARE PRO HAMAS
No, they are protesting in order to stop the killings and to release the hostages. You seem to be pro genocide.
because that offer was made and idf rejected it. that is no longer an active issue.
Dude you're so lost
I wonder if DW will ever report on police brutality in this event.
Students think anything physical is brutality
Never. DW will not report on police brutality. DW had labeled students antisemitism...
There's not been any police brutality. Why are you trying to stir up nonsense!
@@RobespierreThePoof Pro-Palestinian protests at U.S. colleges intensify -CBS-
true, police brutality may not be fact. critical issue is the people in power can force the police against the peaceful protest of students
Freedom of speech my a....
God bless these youngsters.
These students are amazing ❤❤
Yeah, let Islam rise in America! We want sharia law! Islam is behind all this!
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇩🇿
So the Government gave them a present, they don't have to pay back the students loans and they protest, disturbing the life of campus, not allowing teachers in.. OK, make them pay for Uni, and add %%. Why give presents for this kind of behaviour?
Gaza new parking lot
The students are a good example for all Americans. Stand up and protest for a better future of America. You represent the future, the brains and the hearts of America
It is crazy to support an organization of terrorism who could kill people for nothing.
The terrorists from Gaza killed 39 innocent Asian workers, care givers, students and one African worker last year when the Palestinians attacked Israel.
Hamas wants to build a Sharia state. This means that they don't accept others who are different from them.
ASK THESE STUDENTS WHY ARE THEY NOT BOTHERED ABOUT THE PAIN OF HOSTAGES...???????
Students are young.They still studying and have not contribute much to the country /or help build the country yet so they have no right to make decisions (foreign or domestic) on behalf of the country .They certainly can protest but the government are not obligated to do what they want.
when the chinese students did this they were to be praised as heros but when the students did this in solidarity of gaza it is anti-semintism that is hillarious.
These protesters are formidable.....
They are the same group that fought for AND got, gluten-free and vegan options added to university vending machines.

Yes. They are. All liers of lies.
So basically the students protests in 1968 were kinda of cool but these are not because they are against Israel. These protests are not anti Semitic but infact pro justice.
Free Palestine free Palestine
It is just new blm. 'Movement ' will be over after election 😂😂
Students spending alot of time protesting. Maybe just cancel their student loans for the upcoming semester.....
Still don't see what gives these protesters the sense of entitlement to disrupt others pursuit of an education when a more appropriate place to do this would be an embassy or consulate or political office of the people they actually hope to persuade.
