Pro-Palestinian College Protests Grow as Police Crack Down | The Daily Show 

Cops when School Shooting: 😿🙈😱 Cops when School Protest:🤬👹🥊🚨

Funny how these same people defend the riot on Jan 6 as an expression of freedom, but condemn the peaceful, nonviolent protest on college campuses.

College kids protested against the war in Vietnam, and they were right. These kids are protesting against the slaughter in Gaza, and they are right. They are all very courageous.

genocide. anti- genocide is Not anti semitism

I thought protest is fundamental right in democracy like US. US is very quick to lecture other countries about freedom to protest 😂😂😂

Pro free speech, anti war, anti hatred should be universal

Since when is protesting a Crime?

Students: We don't like how violent this war is. Warmongers: "Let's violently stop them from demanding non-violence."

Is it anti semetic if jewish students are also part of the demonstration?

Never ask a man about his salary, a woman about her age or Israel about its evidence.

Thank you BRAVE STUDENTS for standing with the RIGHTEOUS, INNOCENT PEOPLE OF GAZA!!! NO TO GENOCIDE!

There are a lot, and I mean A LOT of Jews for Palestine at these protests. It’s a shame that the media doesn’t show that!!!

I'm so sick of protests against genocide being called anti-Semitic

Thanks to the students! I'm glad that at least some people are taking a stand in the US while everyone else is 'not quite sure about such a complex issue' or whatever. Thank you. 💚

those who make peaceful resistance impossible make violent revolution inevitable....

“Be like Mike Johnson and get into govt and waste everyone’s money.” That wasn’t gold, it was PLATINUM!!

Where were the cries for the Nationdl Guard when those fine young men were marching in Charlottesville, waving the Swaztikka and screaming "Jews will not replace us"?

Mike Johnson lecturing college kids on "not wasting their parents' money"? Didn't he waste every single American taxpayer's money by sending a huge amount to a foreign government in the Middle East to continue this nonsense?

Americans when people use Free Speech: 😊😁😇 Americans when people use Free Speech to criticize Israel: 😡🤬👹

When I went to college we were protesting nuclear weapons proliferation. We had tents on the quad for two years and nobody bothered us.

I thought protest is fundamental right in democracy 😅

Just today, Emory University staged a sit-in on the quad, and police were called in with tear gas TWICE. Still can't believe that the "Land of the Free" wants to suppress these people's voices so much

Do Americans realize how much of a police state their country has become since 9/11?

The level of force here is deeply concerning. So if they don't agree with the students stance on peace and ceasefire, on humanity and not committing a genocide, their solution is to suppress and oppress, to silence the voices of millions of people with excessive force and aggressive policing? If anything, this will make students rise up stronger and harder because now the protest is as much about their 1st amendment rights as it is about protesting a genocide. I am embarrassed and appalled at the leadership in our so-called democracy and how Israel has the United States in their pocket. We are the United States of AMERICA, NOT the United States of Israel. WAKE UP SHEEPLE

The amount of irony of a guy participating in January 6th criticizing students protesting what's going on in the Middle East is astounding.

Netanyahu using the word unconscionable... quite comic if it were not also tragic

Mike Johnson looks and sounds like a villain from an 80’s movie.

It weird how on international news they show all the different people protesting (including Jewish students supporting a ceasefire) but they don't include it in American National/Cable news. It's disgusting how they force a us/them situation on the student protesters and not showing it's the outside people that are causing the fear on campus.

I find it amusing that the people that are usually being anti semitic are accusing these kids protesting as anti semitic.

To be clear, students protesting for an end to genocide is bad, but losers in Charlottesville chanting "Jews will not replace us" wasn't bad? Am I getting that Right?

Police when primary kids get gunned down: _I sleep_ Police when there's protest against their overlords: _HERE COMES THE PAIN_

American universities support the rights of the Palestinian people to life, security, and land. It rejects and opposes starvation, the massive siege, and genocide against the Palestinians A great salute to the conscience of America and to the beautiful minds (students, teachers, and families)

LOL I love this part. The moronic rep said “Go back to class and stop wasting your parent’s money” and the clip is like “yes be like Mike Johnson, get into government and start wasting everyone’s money”

People are not dumb. They know the difference between antisemitism and criticism of Israel

You missed the nuance of Abbott sending troops to University of Texas. State Troop(er)s were sent by Abbott. Abbott claimed "administrators" requested the response, but none were named, and none came forward, and the university board is appointed by the governor, so not sure if he could fire them, but he put them there. So Abbott invited himself and a large number of state Troopers/troops, and was involved in the tactical planning (escalation). The University did not make any request for assistance, and nobody has been able to find these unnamed people who spoke to Abbott about it. So it is more about political grandstanding by the "Abbott for 2028" campaign, and unrelated to university operations.

Ask who trains these police forces to know why they are so violent !

They are forgetting the Kent State massacre. The national guard was brought in to quell student anti-Vietnam war protests on campus. They shot and killed 4 and wounded 9 students. Then said the war was a mistake and built memorials for the students and soldiers who died. Species who have short memories or do not learn from their mistakes are doomed.

I am deeply concerned that the violent rhetoric being used to call for an end to the college protests will lead to another Kent State/Jackson State

Let's remember the cops and security violently attacked the Columbus campus camp. Media people, anyone with a camera, was attacked by police and cameras broken. yikes

It turns out there is still hope for America. These students are the future of America. They are clear-headed and know right from wrong.

As somebody who is taking part in these demonstrations the rhetoric that these protests are antisemitic is so laughably invalid. Every person who enters an encampant is given rules to abide by to make sure the protest is strictly peaceful. Are there bad actors who may inevitably sabotage the protest to justify their antisemitic actions? 100 percent, but the vast vast majority of students will ensure that such violence is not condoned nor glorified. These politicians are making no effort to get on the ground and see these protestors and have a honest open conversation. Instead they are meeting words with calls for suppression through violence and exposing themselves as the bigots and hypocrites that have forgotten about the long history of American protests that have built this country and its most stoic leaders. You may not agree with our cause but I can guarantee that literally no one I know nor anyone that I have met in these encampments, hates Jews. This is propaganda that justifies suppression of free peaceful assembly. In fact many people taking part in the protest are part of Jewish Voices for Peace and no one is refused entry or participation as long as they maintain peace. If you have an open mind and want to support or even critique these protests, then listen to our demands and take them seriously instead of waving us off as students wasting tuition. We simply want a better future and stopping our college money from funding war and conflict is one way of getting there.

Also how can Mike Johnson talk about wasting money and resigning? This guy literally blocked the Congress for 6 months regarding Ukraine funding and now faces a high chance of losing his own speaker position. What a joker!

Anti-semitic is also being against the idea that Palestinians have the right to live in peace with all human rights guaranteed in their own land. JEWS are not the only SEMITES. ARABS are too.

Fight against genoside is not radical ideology!

Mike Johnson wanting to redo Kent State by calling in the National Guard was unsurprising, but disgusting. It's not at all surprising that Abbott wanted a violent response.

go back to Congress Mike and stop wasting taxpayer money.

Every Israeli accusation is a confession, every insult is a reflection, and every claim is a lie.

They said these same things during the Vietnam war, they called them communist agitators. You may not be popular but standing against the zeitgeist is always noble

It’s free speech until you say something they disagree with, then it’s arrest them all

There is no violence until the police show up. Words and signs hurt nobody but inform everybody.

The contrasting treatment of protests in India and the US reveals a double standard in their approach to civil unrest. While the US criticizes India for actions against activists, it employs stringent measures to quell similar movements domestically, undermining its credibility on human rights. This disparity highlights broader concerns about the consistency and sincerity of international human rights advocacy.

Anyone else notice how they make multiple claims of antisemitism but don't actually provide any sort of evidence to back up these claims? Seem like the claim itself is being used as a pretense to discredit the protests and use force against these students.

Now this is prime Daily Show. Speaking the truth that 99% of the media won’t acknowledge.

Send in the national guards? Not too long ago some GOP clown wanted to lecture Tiktok CEO on Tiananmen Square, and now they want to reboot Tiananmen Sq in the US?

I wish they actually talked to and showed what some of the student protestors have to say, help amplify their voices since no one else will clearly

That was amazing guys!! In 5 minutes you pretty much explained the whole situation. Also what you should have added was how there are Many Jewish students and professors also in these Protests who are being aggressively removed as well. Therefor pointing out the Irony of Natanyahus speech on Antisemitism.

NOT 'Pro-Palestinian' - it's ANTI GENOCIDE!

As an Indian I am deeply concerned about the erosion of 1st amendment rights in the USA

Anti-genocide is wrong, and you can end up in jail 😂😂😂

I'm glad you're covering these topics but the way you dodge the word "genocide" is really concerning

In the last six months, there have been numerous pro-Palestinian protests. However, many politicians might now be wary of student protests because historically, several significant political revolutions and movements have originated from universities or been heavily influenced by students.

How can we forget May 4th, 1970, Kent State, Ohio? What have we learned?

I try to bear witness to whats happening in Gaza. There is no question that doing so has impacted my mental health. I do not think it is possible to just forgive israel for what they have done. This is by far the most horrific mass crime against humanity since Japanese and German atrocities in WW2. The fact the USA and Australia have sided with the genocide operations against the Palestinian people, will haunt us all forever. This nightmare of genocide that has been spawned in Gaza will not stay contained there. True horror has been unleashed on this world and now we have put all of our children at risk. Reciprocity is after all the most human trait we have.

Beautiful scene to behold. We support freedom. People have the right to protest. How dare you take away their freedom

"The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.” -John Lennon, of course

Everyone has a right to speech! Unless they disagree with me!

Peaceful, brave and intelligent students. All standing up for truth and humanity.

Free America from AIPAC 🇺🇸🇺🇸

It's not just free Palestine at this point it's free Americans from AIPAC fascism too

the audacity is Mike Johnson talking about extreme and radical groups!

"Anti-Genocide" is radical extreme ideology, so that makes genocide a moderate and balanced ideology? Did Speaker Johnson get the script directly from Netanyahu?

I've never recall having police come to campus to stop a protest when I was in college years back. I'm disgusted how so called leaders labels students with vile name calling. Keep protesting kids. Also I protested in the past and never recall cops picking people off the streets to be arrested for blocking traffic. This is a dangerous time. Stay safe kids and keep what you doing.

The student are the future of America, and America has spoken.

We are deeply concerned about the human rights situation in the USA-- from India 😂😂😂😂😂

Even the Daily Show had to tip-toe around the issue instead of addressing it head-on and calling it an attach on Freedom of Speech on behalf of an apartheid government

The land of free isn't free anymore

So it's their parent's money when they protest, but it's their money when they want (or didn't ask for) their student loans to be forgiven?

The Daily Show, This is fantastic! I subscribed because I love it!

"There's a real element of anti-Semitism at some protests" It's called "the cops."

How have college campuses not yet learned how to let students participate in protests safely?

Why don't we ask Netanyahu to send some IDF soldiers to help disperse these protests? They are the most moral army in the world after all.

“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”

ANY time you call in the cops on ANYthing, that's escalating the problem. You could have cops show up to accompany a McGruff the crime dog presentation, and by the end of it, some or several 3rd graders are maced and being dragged out in handcuffs.

Isn't the right to assembly kinda important to you folk?

Freedom of speech on campus for all. Unless we disagree with what you are saying. Why don't you just do what they did in Ohio.

We Will Never Forget These Braves Students in The History 😊 And Courageous. From Brazil 🇧🇷 ♥️ Palestine

Thank you from the heart, Jon Stewart. You are a respectable and educated person. You know what lies and evil is going on in this world, and you know that the Palestinian people are oppressed, poor, and oppressed. All Palestinians love you. Arabs, Muslims and Christians, love you because you have a heart of humanity and because you defend the oppressed. Thank you from the heart.🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸😥😥😥😓😓😓😓🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I can't believe the nerve of Netenyahu saying the anti-genocide protests have to stop.

I trust you guys to be smarter than this. It's not like colleges went straight from "there are protests" to "send in the police." You are catering to your audience of college kids and not giving the truth.

It’s really confusing that why top universities don’t use their expertise as a solution: academic debates based on serious researches. I bet they have brilliant talents in different faculties capable of providing solid theoretical and empirical studies. But they use forces instead.

“ i say everyone must learn about our peaceful ways …… BY FORCE!” America rn

regarding the troubling events unfolding at universities across the United States. The recent actions of law enforcement entering campuses and targeting students who advocate for ending the violence and suffering in Gaza is deeply distressing. As a supporter of justice and peace, witnessing such actions in the country who claimed defending democracy in the world is disheartening. The freedom to express solidarity with those affected by conflict should not be met with force and suppression. We must uphold the principles of democracy and human rights, ensuring that voices calling for peace are heard and respected. It is crucial for the press to shine a light on these matters and urge for accountability.

Does Islamophobia also get the same concern and attention by Columbia university and others? Do the safety of Muslim students matter?

Can someone explain to me why protesting in school is needed when: 1. It has nothing to do with the school or it's management 2. There are structures where the government you're protesting against has where they meet 3. It has little to nothing to do with your country. I don't remember something like this happening during the heat of Ukraine war. Or is there something(s) I'm missing?

Fun fact...Jordan Klepper was 100% part of his college improv troupe.

why so many people are confused about the difference b/w the disagreement with Israeli government and anti-semitism?

I'm American and I love the idea of democracy, despite never having set foot in one.

"You see the buildings are not rubble? I am disgusted!" That was fire.

Not war in gaza, genocide in gaza, gets your facts right

Calling out genocide shouldn't be complicated. I'm an Israeli, my middle name is Zion.
