New crackdowns on pro-Palestinian protests and encampments 

how is it a hate crime to burn an israeli flag when its literally legal and free speech to burn an american flag.

Protesting is fine. Camping, defacing, occupying builds are not fine. Its not a question of whether their stance on the issue is right or wrong. There are many others who are either pro Israel or simply dont care and just want to go to school. Their protest against an issue shouldnt infringe on the rights of other students.

Are they going to prison like Trump protesters?

Always playing the victim card.

Why are you only interviewing people in favor of the protests? Biased reporting

Do these people realize most americans were cheering this on as they were arrested. No one cares about thier whining

Is burning a flag a hate crime?

The Arabs of the region have rejected the two-state solution five times since 1936. There seems very little room for negotiation if the other party is against your right to exist. People who have studied history know that Israel had the land before the word "Palestine" was ever a thing. And yet, Israel time and time again generously compromised and agreed to the two-state solution. I'm STARTING to think, that just maybe, that Palestine will not satisfied unless they get the whole thing.

Camping inside building? New way of camping 😅

Why are people protesting for a fictional country? 🤔

I don't understand the tents. So you box yourself in a small space all day, limit your resources, and put yourself in danger of getting robbed by criminals (there are plenty of them in NY). Why? How would this free Palestine???

These are the same kids that complain when they cant find a job after they graduate.

Call in national guard...leave police to regular patrols

They should be suspended for their actions

Where was this level of crackdown during the 2020 protests?

you see what they wee writing on the walls at NYU and you know right away that they are not about 'peace' or 'ceasing war'. not at all

these protesters have the uncanny ability to make a horrible tragic war a world away all about themselves. now that is really something else.

I'd be ashamed of my kid for participating in some crazy acts like these ashamed of myself as a parent too...

**Correction: Pro-Hamas

45 percent of Palestinians marry a family member. Usually a cousin, or sister. Men are allowed to have 3 or 4 wives at the same time. Do you think the rampant inbreeding might be effecting their decision making and behavior? I have been thinking about this a lot.

How does pretending to be homeless result in cease fire?

I feel your pain that your friends and family at home are getting slaughtered You want to speak up on their behalf, but vandal, violence, and terrorizing the students and staff in your school don't help your case. Perhaps you can find a better way to protest. Have a march where you don't destroy public or private properties? Stop giving tuition to schools that you don't support? That seems to be a much more effective way and peaceful message. Why are you giving money to support institutions that you don't agree with their missions and goals?

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE PEACE IN THEIR HEARTS.

So who is going to pay for all the damage and clean-up? 🤨🤨😑😑

Cancel the rest of the SEMESTER AND GIVE THEM "0" CREDIT. AKA, #GUT_SOROS_HAMAS FUNDING!

Start showing how many millions these colleges are being paid to do this, hundreds of millions of dollars

NBC seems to be somewhat one sided in this report.

That's terrifying some of these aren't even students inciting violence on campus

Was the president of the terrorist training center arrested as well?

So, when did the police get assigned to babysitting duties? Kind of an expensive hire.

Follow the money!!! They didn't buy the encampment and food supplies on college student funds!!!! Funded by Qatar!!! Qatar holds Hamas leash!!!

So, let me get this straight. You don't have to be smart to go to University after all?!

Yemen has invited them to go to their University. They can become true believers and help the cause perfectly if they go

The second guy interviewed was wearing a rainbow hat with stars on top. I'm sure Palestine would love him. 🤦

'I feel personally violated': students lament ruined and messy building after protests

Our young folks have zero clue. Dropping bombs ? Yeah how quickly you forget October 7.

How is it a hate crime to burn an Israeli flag? Is it a hate to burn an Iranian flag? Israel is a country.

Most of them weren’t students, just a bunch of people who needed a place to sleep so nobody judged them for being homeless

Farmer by day-Charlie by night. That's what I heard from Nam vets. Student by day-Agitator by night. That's what I heard from media.

Where are the parents of this ignorant kids?

GO TO WASHINGTON , WASHINGTON MAKES THE DECISION TO HELP OTHER COUNTRIES NOT THE COLLEGES , don't have to be smart .

Don’t they work!? Don’t they have responsibilities…. I don’t agree with the war but I have bills to pay! Also, destroying a university… how does that help!?

Its pro hamas supporters... Call it what it is.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that uncle Bosey was eaten by Cannibals 😂😂😂

More to come of 'When children don't get what they want'

The associate professor claims “There is no way they can be heard.” We heard them loud and clear on October 7th. Now they want to play the victim.

Hilarious how NBC must remove every post where i say "str1k3". Are you afraid it might work?

Burning a flag is not a hate crime, and zionism is not Judaism.

These organizers and Participants should go to jail!!

Stop calling them pro Palestine, this has always been anti Israel

Protesters continue to dork up. They made C's and D's in grade school.

“Longtime figure” the guys only 40 guys… no one is longtime at 40 get out of here

And we're supposed to pay their student loans off?

Let me get this right, nobody does anything about the homeless drug addicts wandering around the city and living in tents but people that are not homeless that are protesting the government aiding a bloodbath have to leave?

Holy smokes students screaming I’ve seen stupid things, but that’s one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen super funny😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Freedom of speech ?!! Bye bye democracy!

I was shoved 😢 so brave… so very brave…

" I'm knocked down and couldn't get up" YOU DIDNT BELONG THIER Capt.Clueless

Why not put your reporting in perspective by showing that this kind of activity on campuses is not the norm throughout the country.

How many wars are we invoked in exactly ?? Does anyone know anymore ??

Why is illegal to burn the Israeli flag when you can do it to any other flag in the US?

Defund Soros & Son.

Did you know all leaders of “Israel” since its beginning have been Russian?? Here’s the list: 1. David Ben-Gurion - the first prime minister of Israel. David Ben-Gurion was born in Płońsk in Congress Poland - then part of the Russian Empire. Look at that! Not Arab or Semitic! 2. Moshe Sharett - Born in Kherson in the Russian Empire (today in Ukraine), ANOTHER RUS 3. Levi Eshkol - third prime minister of Israel, Levi Eshkol (Shkolnik) was born in the shtetl of Oratov, Lipovetsky Uyezd, Kiev Governorate, Russian Empire, Wow another Russian! Not Arab or Semitic! 4. Golda Meir - Israeli stateswoman, Golda Mabovitch May 3, 1898 Kyiv, Kiev Governorate, Russian Empire WOW RUSSIA AGAIN!! Not Arab or Semitic! 5. Yitzhak Rabin - was an Israeli politician, statesman and general. He was the fifth Prime Minister of Israel, Rabin, immigrants of the Third Aliyah, the third wave of Jewish immigration to Palestine from Europe. < ---( more proof you guys came from Europe and aren’t original Semitic People’s. 6. Shimon Peres - served as the ninthPresident of Israel, FROM POLAND!! Another not Semitic person!! Wow!! 7. Reuven "Ruvi" Rivlin - Israeli politician and lawyer who served as the tenth president of Israel, descendant of Vilna Gaon, POLISH-LITHUANIAN…. WOW another person who isn’t Arab and isn’t Semitic!! Wow!! 8. Isaac "Bougie" Herzog - current president of Israel, Irish and Syrian. Let’s do some more, this one is my favorite!!! 9. Benjamin Netanyahu - an Israeli politician who also claims descent from Vilna Gaon, served as the ninth prime minister of Israel from 1996 to 1999 and from 2009 to 2021, and his father, Warsaw-born Benzion Netanyahu (né Mileikowsky; 1910-2012), was a historian specializing in the Jewish Golden age of Spain. 10. Ariel Sharon - Shmuel Scheinerman (1896-1956) of Brest-Litovsk (Belarus not Semitic land) and Vera (née Schneirov) Scheinerman (1900-1988) of Mogilev (Russia again, not Semitic land). It’s funny, these are the same people who call actual Semitic people “anti-Semitic”, while usurping and occupying their land and religion.

You are on private property and asked to leave. What do you expect?

This place isn't a democracy anymore.

eally, is that what you see? "A bunch of people who feel their voices are not heard?'" I am in the middle of killing myself studying for finals. You know what I see? A bunch of people who have figured out a fun and exciting way to get out of finals!

LOTS OF "ENCAMPENTS" IN CA .... WHERE IS THE "CRACKDOWN"?

I am failed to understand as when senior American leaving their homes joined students protests . May be possible that mothers of various persons may also joined the protestors .

this is the way of Islam..

These kids are being used! They don’t have a clue over what Hamas is or how evil they are.

"We did it Joe!" - Kackala Harris

“WITH THE SAME MEASURE YOU USE, IT WILL BE MEASURED TO YOU”

So its ok for these college students to have free speech but not trump

Protesting against Israeli ties while having Apple products in their hand, do they even know what they protest against?

kent state?

Crackdown on the first amendment.

The last dude saying that they feel like their voices will never be heard. Maybe they should actually go protest in front of government building so they’re heard not in front of school buildings. The only thing people here is about violent protesters because you aggressively took up an area and refused access access in a physical manner. Kind of sounds like Israel and what they’re doing to the Palestinians.

Unbelievable , what happened to living in a free country 🤷‍♂️

I’m knocked down and couldn’t get back up. Go to the gym them. Sorry excuse for a 20 year old.

Isaiah 17 1: A prophecy against Damascus: “See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.

There is no such thing as a accident discharge it’s called a negligent discharge

I have no good will towards either side at this point, people enabled bad behavior and violent activism for years.

They meant to say pro hamas

God bless Israel.

They actually think that they have friends in Palistine. They wouldn't last one day in Palistine.

They havent been this upset since milo yiannopoulos was there 😂

These are kids who never got spanked

The occupation of Hamilton Hall, Shafik says, was a violent act. It wasn't nearly as violent as aiding in the flattening of the universities in Gaza... which, at least by implied extension, was what the students were protesting. The hypocrisy of the university administrators is UNBELIEVABLE. What is the going price of a university president's soul, anyway? Somebody seems to have bought a lot of them.

NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!!!

Compare with Hong Kong protecting in 2019, how peaceful it is here😮

❤️🇵🇸❤️You can tie the hands of young people but never their hearts. THANK YOU YOUTH OF THE WORLD FOR DEFENDING THE INNOCENT PALESTINES❤️🇹🇷❤️

Spoiled brat youth.

Gotta be ducking kidding me even the anti Americans don't get treated this badly

BAN ALL PROTESTORS. COLLEGE STUDENTS INCLUDED AND HAVE IT TO WHERE THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO TO COLLEGE ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE UNITED STATES

How dare these Young Americans protest a Genocide.

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE PEACE IN THEIR HEARTS

What is your mission saying when all your doing is vandalizing, and trespassing?

I thought ultleft universities teach classes on professional protesting?

They’re heard….it’s just that Congress isn’t funded by college students. ❤

Crackdown on freedom of speech more like it
