Pro-Palestinian protesters interrupt UC Berkeley's undergrad graduation 

It just makes people hate you more.

Nigeria Boko Haram 350,000 dead Sudan JEM/Darfur 300,000 dead Yemen Houthis 233,000 dead Pakistan vs Islamists 50,000 dead Syria 500,000 dead South Sudan 400,000 dead Ethiopia and Eritrea vs Tigray 600,000 dead No protests for all these dead. It is not about people in Gaza These are sponsored organized protests that serve other interests.

They never protested when Saudis were killing Yemenis, they were never on the streets when Uyghurs were being mistreated and tortured by the CCP. That gives you an idea that they're clueless of what they're protesting and a good number of them are there for the clout.

There is a time and place to protest this isn’t the place or timing to do so

Moral cowards, all of the college administrator's

First in family to graduate.Special day for those families. Once in a lifetime experience acknowledging the hard work and sacrifices made to earn the degree. All disrupted by narcissists.

Peaceful protest if you want to be listened. You don’t have the right to destroy other people’s happiness

Go to the White House and protest the president

How awesome would that be, spend 4 years, and tens (or hundreds) of thousands of your parents dollars or loans you'll have to pay back, all that hard work, finally you get recognized then... yeah apparently some group who thinks that every place is their right to say whatever they want.

The chickens have come home to roost!

*How To* Hurt Your Own Cause 101.

I remember getting pulled over because my radio was too loud and not having to press 1 for English.

ABC7 can't get a handle on their volume levels. You're a media company for crying out loud.

Narcissists stealing the graduates' moment .....getting in one last meal by feeding on their own narcissism.

Just imagine, someone spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to study at such a prestigious uni. They struggle for 4 years and ehen they're finally done and are veing rewarded for their patience, talent, hard work, etc. they see this. :( It's so unfortunate for the students man. This is such a wrong place to protest. Regardless of who fuels your protest, why don't they protest in front of government institutions if that's what they're protesting. Also imagine this, there would be so many foreign students whose parents have struggled to make such money to send their kids here and to see it all end like this. So unfortunate. I myself wish to study at Berkeley for a masters in Financial Engg. and this isn't changing my mind but it's just so unfortunate to look at.

The people united will never be defeated!!!

I'm just sorry for those undergrads. Imagine studying for years, getting ready to graduate, having family and friends come to cheer you on...and a group of randos interrupt your moment with a protest about 1 out of 100 wars happening across the world. Half of the protesters aren't even university students. What utter garbage.

you see paying university don't make people sane

Disrupting another person's life and a day that's supposed to be for them does not make anyone sympathetic to your cause

'You don't see these protests going on at trade schools' - Mike Rowe

i feel so sorry for the grads! hopefully, their families can celebrate in peace!

This university needs to be closed down

They didn't arrest them?

What do colleges have to do with the war

You went to Berkeley and you’re surprised at protest? Sit down.

The US wasn’t supporting those. The universities were not invested in those. I’m against this stupidity too, but this is a poor argument.

Nothing but trash !

This was my graduation. I was in the crowd, and have footage and pictures of everything that happened. I can give you an exact timeline of what happened. Order of events: - Prior to commencement: 4 uniformed (and armed? Not 100% on that) officers enter the field and disappear into a white tent: they are not seen throughout the ceremony. There are also 2 men in black suits who look like security on the field near the stage in addition to event staff. - Students finish trickling in, commencement begins. - Clusters of protesters scattered throughout the crowd start displaying smuggled flags and chanting. - Emcee warns them disruption will get them thrown out. - They continue, event staff come into the student section. The protesters nearest me evade but eventually walk up the steps. - They descend into an empty section adjacent to the other students and start setting up. (00:37) - Other students trickle out of our section to join theirs, filling it. What was an empty space becomes a black sea of student supporters. - Event staff move to stand between stage and the protesters but leave them be. - More warnings, more chanting over speeches. At one point students stand together and all eyes are on the chanting protesters. "Don't Stop Believing" is played loudly. To drown out chants? To support the protesters? Only speculation, no facts. - Protesters resume chanting after song. Event continues. - Protesters eventually leave at the behest of event staff and their own. I saw a student in a keffiyeh urging them out from near the front nearest the field. - Within minutes, the crowd has dispersed. - Throughout the commencement ceremony the shouts of, "Free free Palestine!" have been heard from outside the stadium. These chants grow louder. - Students gather outside Gate 2 to continue protesting with chants of, "HEY HEY! HO HO! THE OCCUPATION HAS GOT TO GO!" and, "UC REGENTS WHAT DO YOU SAY? HOW MANY KIDS HAVE YOU KILLED TODAY?"

Today's "Israel" isn't the same Israel from the Bible... Good job keep up the heat!

This ceremony is an accurate representation of all schools. Very few idiots make all the noise and they get all the attention.

Expel, jail, deport NOW

Enough of the protests! People are getting sick of their irrational behaviors. This is not normal protests. This is causing the separation of American people. Be aware of the organization behind the movement.

The best thing to come out of the protest was the cancellation of the graduation ceremony. College need to stop offering useless degrees and charging gullible students to celebrate a over saturated qualification

It is California. What do you expect?

The behavior hard to change, American and the Western need to be careful to accept the international students and asylum.

Sad. This was not the place for these foolish protests.

I understand however the graduates and their families have the right to have a peaceful graduation. You can always protest later.

REMEMBER THEIR NAMES AND FACES WHEN THEY COME TO APPLY FOR A JOB

They could just go to Israel and protest there, if they are that concerned.

I honestly wouldnt care for a graduation , while children are dying and the world watches but thats just ne

There is no single argument for those who reject the protests

This is stupid. I stand with common sense smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

Continued prayers for Jewish people across the world the IDF the hostages and their families we stand with this real bring him home🙏🤝🌼

OK I understand.

Free Palestine 💙💙💙💙💙🫶🏽

Way to ruin your own life achievement of graduating with a degree by turning the attention to a group of people that hate you.

Damn I do feel how those graduates and parents feel fr

I've seem conservative CEO's saying they will never hire these protestors but I don't think that's an effective sanction or threat to people who literally want to cut down any established business in America. I don't think that threat of not being hired by those you protest carries the weight the CEOs seem to think it does.

Free Palestine

NEVER SEEN ISRAEL PROTESTERS ACT THIS WAY, AMERICA WAKE UP

They couldn’t wait until AFTER the ceremony to do that?😤

The university could have held commencements inside in smaller groups so the kids and families could have THEIR RIGHT to celebrate their accomplishments.

These Protestors spend too much time watching Minister Louis Farrakhan for their inspiration .

Bla bla bla, do your protest elsewhere.

They are saddened for the noise but not for the 40,000 Gazans butchered with US weapons and money.

So sad that the protesters have no respect.

2:06 i just wanna hug all the students and their families who arent involved in the conflict, and just wanna enjoy the moment they worked so hard to arrive at. i support the protestors rights to free speech, but this is just extremely selfish. there are students who don't wanna be involved in this issue, who just wanna get their degree and move on with their lives. the protestors are taking away this big moment for all the rest of the students who worked hard for this ONCE IN A LIFETIME moment, _especially_ those whose high school grad ceremonies were _also_ ruined by covid. there are plenty of places and times you can protest when this ceremony is OVER, and yet u just have to choose to ruin the moment for those who worked hard to enjoy it. a _university_ degree, especially from top tier schools like UCB, is definitely something worth celebrating, and it got taken away from them. disgusting.

I want ask all of them in 10 yrs if any of it made a difference.

Arrest, Expel, Deport

Tuff shit!

Forgive the unruly kindergartner for the interruption.

Why not protest outside state capitols and government buildings where it would be more effective? Go after the decision makers not the administration

No interruption, this is part of what needs to be addressed. Children's lives are more important than the vanity of some entitled spoiled people

I feel sorry for the American families!! Having to put up with this violent riot protest

I love the parents!!! Glad they weren't afraid to say the truth and call out the idiot disruptors

What are you guys thinking??? Its graduation....

Disgusting! Students worked their butts off for 4-5 years to finally graduate and have to deal with this garbage 🗑️

USA is dying 😔

Congratulations, you did it. Enjoy the day.

I am so proud of these teenagers as a professor in the UK. They will bring peace and justice to this world. God bless them All.

How come these protestors are blind, deaf and dumb on Pakistani military's reign of terror on Kashmiris ?

These are the “bright minds” everybody. What else would you expect with affirmative action?

143 country voted for Palestine in the UN against 9!! The whole world stand with you! Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Go to Israel and protest if you really care

The graduates’ parents are complaining about “noise”?! There are innocent people being murdered in Gaza and 12 of their universities were destroyed. Where is the sense of justice and humanity?

The most important thing for all of us to remember is that this fallen Godless corrupt world is our temporary home separated from God for a short period of time because of sin, but all people who repent of their sins and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the Bible and accept Jesus as their Savior by believing Jesus was God on earth Who died to pay for our sins for us and resurrected from the dead to defeat eternal death for us and believe Jesus is coming back again to set up His eternal kingdom, will be forgiven of their sins and have eternal life reconciled with God.

Democracy has spoke to free Palestine from the river to the sea. Let's stop these carnage and oppression .

Bravo to those who stand up for humanity.

Israel 🇮🇱 forever

Their objective is not just protesting. Their objective is to be covered on national media protesting. If they protested peacefully and respecting other people's rights the media would ignore them. Disrupting graduation ceremonies pulls in viewers. If you stop watching the TV coverage of these protests the TV coverage would stop.

That’s because the authorities of the university are with them

🇺🇸🇵🇸💪

Berkeley students are tough kids, we can handle a little interruption by a good cause.

If they’re so concerned about Gaza, why don’t they go over there and help out instead being a pain in the a$$?

Ahhhh, how sweet...they can tell their kids about this college memory...

So much effort is being put into silencing these protests. Mischaracterizing anti-genocide protests as antisemitic is disgusting.

These parents are bad people

Try doing that at work as you start your first job post graduation. Let us know how that works out for you. There’s a time and place for everything. Graduation commencement was not the day.

Gaza, breathe, your wounds will heal, you will rise again and life will flow in you, I believe in your resistance.❤🌱❤

Respect to all brave STUDENTS .... FREE PALESTINE and FREE USA 💐🇯🇴🇺🇸✌️✌️

They are the beautiful people!!! God Bless Them!!! Aaron Bushnell would be very proud of therm!!!

Thank you very much, free Palestine, be humanity

Lourdes clearly hasn’t seen much suffering in life if she’s breaking down because of some background noise …. Actually seems more like a plant lol … smh , please restore my faith in humanity young people 🙏🏼

What is s future without freedom??? What is a degree without freedom????

omgee ........NOT again , they need to get a life and DONT ruin other people's happiness moment !!!!

Idiocy is your ignorance 2:36

They said america is great. But easily distroyd buy protes😢😢😢😢

My hat off to those brave students!❤❤❤

These people crying over a graduation? There’s literal mothers crying over their children’s dead bodies.

Governor Ronald Reagan called National Guard and killed one idiot and wounded many others. I wish we had normal governor today.
