CBS New York had live team coverage as NYPD officers moved in on Columbia University to clear out protesters who had occupied Hamilton Hall and set up an encampment on the main lawn.
Journalists and news reporters that say “like”, “you know” and “um” every other sentence should seek other employment or take Public Speaking classes…sick of listening to nincompoops.
You are 1 of the reasons college is needed... did they kick you out, or did you drop out? Anyway, please educate yourself, gain some authentic knowledge, not just any knowledge but knowledge that concerns the history of Palestine and America :)
Columbia prides itself on activism, these students are nothing but brave and are standing up for humanity! Why should peaceful activism on Palestine be any different?! Double standard much.
@@samank8628 look, who’s talking about double standards! This isn’t a protest. This is a chaotic anarchy! And you guys are so full of crap! all these universities need to be shut down and start all over again and get rid of all the socialist Marxist communist crap that’s in there right now!
@@samank8628 This isn't activism. It's lawlessness and chaos. There's a difference. Also, people don't pay thousands of dollars and go into deep debt for activism. It's a school. It's for education. If you want to be an activist,you can do it for free.
Resumes destroyed. Simply saying they attended here is a huge nope for hiring. Add a criminal record and this tantrum is the most expensive lesson they will have learned from liberal colleges.
A bunch of rich kids protesting and will simply go back home to their rich parents houses in other states once this all blows over. They're not risking ANYTHING! I'm a CU alum, I know the type of students that go here.
@@michaelernest7224may be your definition of a functioning adult is one who sees bloodshed of an oppressed people and remains complicit and chill over the death of humanity.
They are throwing their futures away.They should be studying and graduating so they can get good jobs,not wasting their parents money.What would they do if they hadn't got the bank of mum and dad to rely on?I come from the UK and am glad this isn't happening here.Don't get me wrong I feel sorry for all the innocent people who are caught up in this war between Isreal and Palestine.War solves nothing.
@@Iskamuska yes they are. They’re a huge threat. Would you like to live where these morons are creating chaos and anarchy? Breaking into buildings I don’t see any homeless people creating the chaos that they’re creating. You need to go to Gaza and do your protesting there because they’re not protesting in the Arab of world! and they don’t want the Palestinians in theircountries either!
Nope. Their are non students protesting and trespassing. They will go from jail to deportation detention center untill removed from united states. This ain't the early 2000s. This is the conservatibmve era.
All for the right of protesting. Its what makes this country great! But once you start breaking entries and being unorderly, those rights go away! Good work NYPD.
The reason they did that is because Columbia is suspending and expelling students for simply exercising their first amendment rights. That and the previous heavy-handedness of police.
What is ridiculous is the ones that try to stop them just sit there singing and not hurting anyone, the government is doing all this for Israel, at list the war in Vietnam was an American war, this has nothing to do with America Imagine if these people are doing this for Ukraine, what do you think the government will do to them? Provide the Ukraine flags food and water and they make sure they are safe, and what do you think the media will say? these people are heroes, kind people who can't stand the killing and all that.
The protests are protected by the first amendment rights. Makes us wonder whether you are a real American citizen. These protests are legal. Only the government doesn’t like them, because Netanyahu said so. The US is being run by Israel and the Zionist lobby. What a lovely time. Hope you are enjoying it.
@@semprefidelis76 ever consider the possibility that you’re wrong and indoctrinated and don’t have a clue! Just because you sem ever consider the possibility that you’re wrong and indoctrinated and don’t have a clue! Just because you use semprefi as your name tag doesn’t make you right!
@@semprefidelis76 , my opinion, they are wrong! They omitted the fact that Hamas started this fight by kidnapping Jews and Americans! Do you know it? May be you are wrong on fact!
Which Hostages? the thousands of Palestinians kidnapped at night from their homes including hundreds of children and women? or the 2 million hostages held in the open air prison in the largest concentration camp in Gaza?
not a single student riot in middle east. All muslim countries know how to deal with student riots in support of hamas: they would crush it. actually they dont welcome palestinians student. they all know too well what palestinians did in Irak, Lebanon and Jordania.
@Kay-td2fc the US will condemn the riots? Lol you know alot of people are confused in this country. Some say out rights are Being taken away we can't say what we want , then on the other hand they support students being arrested for speaking up. It's interpretation of the law by authority. They use the law as a weapon against those that stand against them and use the law in favor of those who stand with them.
There is no such thing as a Muslim country, belief is a personal thing. these people are not there to support Hamas they want the killing to stop because they happen to have a heart and they feel something when they see kids blown up to pieces, There are people who can't feel anything when they see a child killed these people can't lie to themselves they know exactly who they are,
Hamas? Nope. You probably saw a couple loudmouths claiming they were hamas and were dumb enough to believe it. Most Palestinians aren't even Hamas. They weren't even old enough to vote in the 06' election. Because most of them are just kids. All you're really saying here is "I hate kids."
@@travisbickle9912 you must be VERY young. It's not our first rodeo. Police in other cities are on standby! You'd know that if you weren't in elementary school.
First they should have set a curfew for everyone not a student living on campus to be off campus by 7pm. After that anyone not living in a dorm is trespassing .
@@alanle1471 You forget that the protester's were entirely peaceful before the police showed up to Columbia University and used violence to remove the protester's. Get informed!
@@steveablet4041 Multiple polls have indicated that the majority of Americans support a ceasefire. i would call that 'widespread.' And in the U.S. the number is smaller than most nations worldwide due to the large amount of verified lies in American MSM
What about the hundreds of billions of dollars of American tax payer's money being sent to Israel for the last 60+ years to fund wars and committed genocides ? Shouldnt Americans ask Israel for a refund? hypocrisy at its most level!! Ban canarymission first and then they will show you their faces !
Whats sad about this is that the damage that is caused by this will be put towards the tuition for all students in the future ...but only selct individuals caused damage. Not fair
What's not fair is the holocaust taking place for which these students are protesting, so why don't you go buy a soul somewhere and THEN come back and run your mouth?
You know what’s even more sad, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians being murdered with United States funding. As if the school doesn’t receive billions in donations. Oh yea right, by far right occupant Territories too
@@gabrielk.andeen6399 it isn’t fair and it isn’t right! If these morons want to protest go to the Middle East protest over there because from what I’ve seen, they’re not protesting over there, we are having to put up with the bull💩!
There's no loan forgiveness. They pay thier loan at the same time they have bad record that attached in thier named that they just realized when they looking job why some cannot employ when they applying job.
The students have to be investigated and interrogated one by one, who is behind them and the organisers too, as this movement is beyond normal protest, this has the aspect of a foreign political take over to distabilize the security of the country, demands, vandalism and threats of the nature of organised crimes , this is serious not just a protest.
why weren't they just ignored. in a few weeks those kids want to go to holidays. Let the Uni deal with it. should have kept them nice and snug on Uni property. They are just like our annoying climate gluers. Once done the go home, drive big cars and take a airplane to the holiday destination.
As an outsider, i.e., a uk citizen watching this, i do actually have a lot of respect for the Police here,at least they are, unlike in the uk 'policing' these student protestors. In the UK lateley especially in London on a weekly basis the police freely let these people just carry on,disrupting everyone else's day.
@@martinhumble I notice you don't like the statement of a simple deplorable fact. Displaying the flag of a terrorist group is acceptable--but not your own country's flag is not. I'm America and didn't get a vote in Brexit. More than half of Brits voted for Brexit. Sounds like you don't like your own people. In America you don't get arrested for displaying Old Glory.
Everything n everyone has a limit n a boundary to everything when it crosses the limit then the authorities who are in charge takes steps that has to be taken it's as simple as that
Don't get me wrong i am all for the students peacefully protesting but when you start breaking laws and trespassing or insighting violence then the police should move in and move in and make arrests.
NYC Mayor should defer cost of NYPD response back to Columbia University. NYPD has enough to deal with, without colleges and universities causing havoc.
The university should make all those who have caused damage to the university and the campus in general pay for the damage that they have caused,or send their rich parents the bill.
Student have the right to protest but in order, how can a college student don’t know the definition of our constitution rights. To protest in peace. So sad of these generations, they are our future. They utilizing the violence they are protesting.
@@rsingh8837 there is no genocide. The population of Gaza was in the low 100,000s in the 1940s and it's now over 2 million. By what definition is that a genocide?
And you support Israel I am amazed at the audacity you have, despite committing massacres against more than thirty-four Palestinians and occupying land that is not theirs, despite the fact that the whole world expelled the Jews and committed massacres against them in Europe, Andalusia, Germany, Italy, France, Poland, Hungary, and many countries from The Muslim Jews received those who gave them their Muslim rights. We find that the Jew, regardless of his nationality, Moroccan, Yemeni, Tunisian or Libyan, was not treated in the same way as the Muslim citizen. But you betrayed the Palestinian and established a fake state in the midst of the Islamic nation, and then you come and write these words about a people who resist the occupation
The United States Communist party, this is from their website article: The Communist Party USA salutes the university student protests and occupations as they struggle for a ceasefire in Gaza for divestment from the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Keep the pressure on! We denounce in the strongest possible terms the repression and arrests of the protesters, at Columbia.. Rest you check out their article!!
They're protesting the Biden Administration for giving sooooooo much money to Israel to fund their war against Palestine. Get informed. If you think Trump wouldn't have done the same, you don't know Trump. He only wanted the Presidency to begin with to enrich himself. Now he wants it so he can stay out of prison and enrich himself.
You mean get droned like the World Central Kitchen aid workers? Don't you think that's a bit insensitive to suggest such a thing to a young person with their entire life ahead of them?
@@semprefidelis76 If people really wanted to help, they'd find a way. Look at this video. They got into a building. Huh? That takes moxie. I think it's sad when people tell others something cannot be done. If there's a will, there's a way. In reality, I don't think these protestors want to help the people of Gaza.
Now, what happens to these Agitators and paid Anarchist after their arrests is another thing!! Will they be deported out of the country or let go to create More violent protests?!!
The important question is, what happens to 2.3M innocent, unarmed civilians in Palestine when the most heavily militarized empire in human history is cracking down on its own citizens for standing up against a literal holocaust? Your other questions are what happens when people with broken brains comment on things they don't understand.
@worldadventuretravel Their government that they voted for and still support by the name Hamas started this. Now, face the consequences. They are not citizens of Israel. Gaza is a separate territory with its own flag that people like you going around and waving. They are the enemie that killed 1200 people in called blood, video taped it and took 200 people hostage. Why don't you talk about that? Why won't you protest against that?
We American citizens do understand what is going, and our tax dollars are being spent sending aid to Isreal, and also sending aid to Gaza. You guys need to blame Egypt for not opening their borders to allow aid to get to your people in Gaza, and you really need to blame Hamas for starting up this mess in the first place. They don't care about nothing. To damage property on a university that allows all people of different religious back ground attend their college says is a shame. They are not going to be taken seriously because of this and they should by now, that's if they are citizens that they are breaking the law and will be deperted back to their country of origin. We will see who will be crying then. Protest peacefully and leave when they ask you to thats all. It's not right to for other students that have worked their butts off to not be able to attend their own graduation because of selfish individuals that has no clue or understanding of the laws of this country and Allies!
@@worldadventuretravelPalestine’s should tell the Hamas to release all hostages and lay down their arms . They can end the war right now but refuse to do so.
This is not a protest it is called harassment .costing money destroying property.s abuseing poor Jewish students.lets not candy coat the truth and the dam facts.
Shame on those who use the property for protest. Go on public street/city hall if you want to say something, don't steal properties and scare the entire population!
@@indriahappy1627 demolishing and burning people's homes, building settlements on someone else's homeland, r*ping pregnant women, blowing off childrens' limbs, burning elderly women alive is also very much against international law.
It's so nice that after the Palestinians have called for "death to america" and you are sticking up for them. Soft or sweet, I like to think sweet but who knows.
Can anyone think to lower the platform about 1’ seeing how they can’t figure out how to open the window or just remove it. Once the platform is lower it will make so much easier to climb through…
I stand with Israel, the hostages and their families. Israel stands and is going nowhere. Read your Bible and you will see how it all ends. God bless Israel. ✝️🇮🇱
I stand with Palestine. Because of the untold atrocities Israel has committed against the Palestinian people. You have no empathy. Good luck getting into heaven.
I stand with the Israel and Gaza citizens, all children of G-d! The Israeli leaders need to stop this destructive genocide, return to their mission of capturing Hama criminals, and bring all the hostages back to their homeland! The United States need to supply only humanitarian aid to both sides. NO MORE weapons for Israel until they stop the aimless killing! Have you not read " Love you enemies!"
What about the hundreds of billions of dollars of American tax payer's money being sent to Israel for the last 60+ years to fund wars and committed genocides ? Shouldnt Americans ask Israel for a refund? hypocrisy at its most level!! Ban canarymission first and then they will show you their faces !
They read the dirty part of The Sheltering Sky and misunderstood the assignment. They are Marthas. 40# overweight, heavy brown hair heavy face, never had a date. Looking for their own personal Osama. But will end up with a short order cook. Not that there's anything wrong with short order cooks
@@Patrick-oi5uw when they act like this, they’re not kids they’re adults! I don’t know how you were raised, but I knew to act better than this when I was in grade school!
Money speaks louder than dignity and self respect in this country. Our government and universities and arms manufacturers etc...believe so and no protest will ever influence law makers to change there minds.
