Police arrested protesters at Columbia University at a makeshift encampment set up by pro-Palestinian demonstrators on the university's quad. CBS New York's Doug Williams reports.
Because they want nothing to do with them. They think of them as unclean! The countries you listed kicked them out of their countries! Egypt and Jordan killed many of the PLO, as it was called back then. Then banned them, FOREVER!!!
Just saying most are women who will not actually fight if there was an actual war but very vocal for a side which will treat them with no respect. All virtue signalling, this is getting out of hand.
@bchandle Yeah it makes no sense why LGBTQ supporters them. They dislike gays more than Christians. Also why white liberal woman support blm when they get randomly assaulted by them in return. Pure contradiction and lunacy from the left
The US is sending israel and ukraine (countries on the OTHER side of the PLANET) billions of $$$, while there is an OPIOID and HOMELESSNESS CRISIS in our backyards. Israel needs to keep US out of it. Theyve killed more people than the other side did: “The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has been tracking deaths in the conflict since 2008 and its data shows that 5,600 Palestinians died up to 2020 while 115,000 were injured. 250 Israelis died during the same period while 5,600 were injured”

If you listen you can tell that the reporter is there saying everything has been peaceful and quiet. He wasn't able to go inside the campus, but it was also a peaceful demonstration in there as well... You kind of hear that there is just no example of students doing anything that really should warrant _buses to mass arrest peaceful demonstrations_ and _armed to the teeth police_
The encampment is blocking the student library stopping the studies of students. Students that are suspended have been returning belligerent ly without arrest . Lots of resistance. Chanting is making it hard to study.
why does CU teach Genocide and Genocide retaliation? And expect student will do nothing? Do u remember Anti Vitenam war protest, they did exactly same.
“I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.” ― Douglas MacArthur
Imagine you can protest our country, the USA and nothing happens, but you protest another country and you get arrested. This tells you who has the most influence on OUR government, and it’s not Americans. Who controls when our American children will die in foreign wars? Take our country back. Protesting, even the pain in the but protesting is what our country guarantees. Someday you may have a cause dear to your heart, TikTok, environmental issues, whatever. Don’t let them take away your rights.
what are you talking about most openly call for violent uprising, Antifada glorifing terror, burning American flags/ you are so naive about the goals of who are financing all those propaganda crazy..... this is Islamo marxism..... same tactic was done by the Islamic revolution in Iran and by the communistes in China, wake up
If you protested against the USA or any other country by trespassing on private property and infringing on people's right of movement and/or inhibiting the education or any other service people have paid for and expect to receive you would be arrested as well.
This is not what happened! I couldn’t get to class because the school closed all the gates and had police crawling everywhere, not because the protestors were blocking anything. I was on campus all day yesterday and just left a few hours ago. Everything was peaceful. The pro-Israeli side was absolutely out there protesting with their flags and so was the pro-Palestinian side. It was chanting, clapping, and walking in circles. The police overreacted at usual and started arresting people that weren’t in the tents! They also had 4 drones flying around campus when I walked out of class and one of them crashed on the lawn. This was an unnecessarily heavy handed approach to an otherwise peaceful demonstration.
The problem is that they are illegally occupying private property and they did not get permission to protest on University grounds. All over the country they have been disrespectful and have incited hate against America, blocked roads, held people illegally in their cars, etc. Would you want them on your property?
This was not heavy-handed! They were asked to move several times by they university! THEY DIDN'T MOVE! The police ask them to move. At that point, they are breaking the law. THEY WERE TRESPASSING that is not peaceful. They thought they were going to live in tents on the property of the school to FORCE the school to meet their demands. THAT IS NOT PEACEFUL! They were using HATE speech against part of the student body. THAT IS INTIMIDATION!! This was not a peaceful protest!
Since everything is nice and peaceful in NYC let's waste all these police resources on a bunch of students who should be studying instead of going to jail
Pro-Palestinian disrespect to America and to it's laws have been on full display this week. It's OK to disagree but don't play the victim if we maintain our values and law and order.
Pro Palestinians are very respective ful to America. Why does American congress funding genocide in other country with our tax dollars money! for every money i make IRS started to knock at my door but IRS cannot keep track how our dollar is spend on other country instead of US. fking inflation bills housing hitting us hard.
They occupy private property illegally. They have blocked roads and held Americans citizens against their will in their cars. They incite hate speech against America. Where is the freedom from this hate and obstruction for the American people?
It has nothing to do with their curriculum or the educational system at Columbia. It is just a perk that they get to yell and scream on campus. Go to school for your degree and leave your temper tantrums about politics off college campus. Protests are extra-curricular. Take it off campus. It has nothing to do with anyone's required courses. What a disruption to education. Students have become so entitled that they are allowed to intimidate and threaten other students because they disagree with how the outside world is handling a situation.
They are pro Hamas they are consider a threat they are protesting for terrorist pay attention what they are doing around the world the violence and hatred
Great, Columbia has given protesters a lot of publicity. Thank you Columbia for letting more people to pay attention to the issue. The President of Columbia is brilliant!
Philistine is the name of the ancient enemies of Judea. Palestine is made up Roman Empire colonialism propaganda they used to rename the Jewish homeland under a Latin word. "Palestine" is literally the creation of white men from Italy who colonized an indigenous population that was later colonized by Muslim imperialism. Oh the irony.....
Why aren't the Palestinian people telling Isreali soldiers where the Hamas terrorists are? It is really a simple way to save their own people so they don't get caught in the crossfire. Why are they all crying we are being exterminated but NOT turning in the ones who attacked Isreal? It would end the war in days! Simple!
if an indian university decided to evict a sit in protest from their campus property for disruption, no one would be critizing india because it's perfectly reasonable. however, i suspect it wouldn't be like for like, would it? this is coming from an indian
Protest against genocide and demanding freedom of Palestinians is not antisemitism. The slander of antisemitism is a strategic ploy of the apartheid perpetrators.
We just watched American citizens being arrested for protesting a foreign government. You can criticize or protest Iran, China, Russia, any country in the world but if you criticize or protest Israel you will be arrested. The NYC mayor and NYPD admitted the students were arrested for using inflammatory language.
University President shouldn't be calling in the police ro arrest peaceful protesters just to save her job. Bad call. There will be bigger protests now. And if students are suspended, then they should sue for pro rata refund of their tuition.
These protesting is not a guaranteed rights when accepted to Columbia University. The college has allowed protests, but it is not required to allow protests. All of these politically motivated disruptions have nothing to do with earning a degree at Columbia. The president does not have to allow it. I didn't go to college to learn how to defend myself against political activists. They have the freedom (within the limits of the law) to protest off-campus.
@icvideos1621 You sound like a foreigner. We have more freedoms in the U.S. than in whatever country you're from, where they probably arrest and torture students for speaking against the dictator.
Contrary to popular belief you go to college to learn a skill...apparently not anymore. We have too many activists in this country...they made the college prez look bad
@johnnyfive9815 Contrary to popular belief, at the elite colleges of this country, students are there to learn how to think critically. They are not trade schools.
Free speech can only be allowed when the act of free speech doesn't infringe on other people's rights. Libel, for example, is not acceptable even if one thinks they are exerting their free speech right. These students think they have the right to protest but they don't because while doing so, they are violating others' rights (to be free from the chaos, to go to class, to walk about safely, etc.) at the same time. Columbia should have extended a stronger and tougher stand in the very beginning. I deplore the state of the current education! That is democracy 101. How come these students didn't learn it or understand it?
This is a false and misguided take. The rights you mentioned are not actual rights, while the right to protesting (that you’re discounting) actually is.
Under Columbia University administration's 1955 agreement with the City of New York's Wagner administration, which allowed Columbia University to close off West 116th St. between Broadway and Amsterdam Ave. to vehicular traffic, Columbia University is legally prohibited from using any gates to block Manhattan pedestrians from access to its "College Walk" on W. 116th St. between Broadway and Amsterdam Ave. So why is New York City Council allowing Columbia University administration to block access to W. 116th St. between Broadway and Amsterdam Ave. to neighborhood residents and non-students who can't show a "Columbia ID"--in violation of the 1955 agreement with NYC's Wagner administration?
Palestinian protesting in tents are NOT suspended/arrested because, Qarae funds them and donates $ millions to Columbia. It's the American students that get arrested.
AMP and two SJP chapters cohosted an event in May 2023 featuring Mohammad el-Mezain, who served time in prison for funding Hamas. Students for Justice in Palestine is a terrible organization.
If you say something that the State Of Israel or the Jewish community in the U.S. don't like our Government will go after you; they are the chosen people of God and the U.S. Government. That should tell you the power they have around the world.
been Pro Palestine does not mean to be antisemitic; they are protesting for the people that are dying there for this insane abusive situation. Children are dying of hunger; if that doesn’t move your heart then you are not human
Anti-semitism and hatred for Jewish people is UNACCEPTABLE! The people who were arrested must realise that this atrocious behaviour will NOT be tolerated. There are consequences for their deplorable actions!! A tangible stand is great.
Wonder where they all were when reports of innocent Rohingya and Uyghur Muslims were being slaughtered in Myanmar and China? Must've figured their insta photos wouldn't get enough likes to be worth posting.
All those who were arrested and might be- released now? This information must be added to their system ( Computer resumes). So that- when they join jobs,(in future),the head of those organizations must be aware of-- Who they r- hiring ???
Isn't there designated or allowed places to protest? Those arrested I would guess are protesting in the wrong places where foot traffic/classes are going on and must be allowed to continue for the school to run normally.? Those students who are experiencing anti-semitism; take a picture and report it to campus police/police.?
so how is constitutional free spech a crime? Constitutional criminals are traitors. Fear those and not the people who stand against genocide against the Palestinian people.
Protests are not a required subject to obtain a degree. Students should not have to defend themselves in an educational institution. These protests have nothing to do with the education they are receiving at Columbia University. They need to take their personal opinions off campus and protest somewhere else. That applies to all sides.
shame on you all for not helping Palestinian and Israel people during the 100 years before Oct. 7 brutal massacre! Who helped Hamas and joined Hamas military in their cities? Too bad you followed the bad leaders instead of good role models! Did your middle school or high school teachers teach you about pick a good role model and learn from him or her? It's a big mistake if you followed someone because of Money! Love Money is the root of Evils!
Oh so NOW they think coming on private property is OK and it is NOT a civil case.... I wish I could cherry pick my bills like this.🤣🤣🤣🤣NOPE no AMEX payment for YOU this month. Better luck next month buster!
