Watch Morning Joe Highlights: May 2 

The young generation want no part in genocide, so sorry about that.

They are adults not children … Leave the parents out of it .

Power to the young people

You can be both pro Israel and against the yahu in charge

What about the US Republicans oppressing pregnant women.

Morning Joe, You're entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts.

This anger and protest is WORLDWIDE! Not just students.

Right Joe, we should stop asking questions that have already been answered. No one except the most idiotic is still asking if the protesters were all students enrolled at those universities.

Vietnam, Iraq, Apartheid...tell me a time the media has been honest when students have protest?....and the students were on the right side of history.

Wow - blaming the protesters ? I am asking if the university is taking a proactive and constructive role. Joe, Mika and Rev were disparaging and nitpicking legal protestors and obfuscation in so many ways. Isn’t divestment the point. Arming the Israeli government has many critics. Have Bernie Saunders on your show.

Being the recipient (I hate the word 'victim') of racism isn't about your color, it's about being an "other". When I hang out with Black people, I'm frequently taken to be a light-skinned Black person by those who don't know me. When I hang out with Armenians, I'm welcomed as a long-lost brother Armenian. Many people look at me and think I'm Latino or Native American. Pretty much the only thing I'm NOT classified as a 'white' guy. The racists don't really care what I am, as long as I'm not them.

When this first started with just a small group of students, Cornel West was on a stage giving his speeches and really riling everyone up.

I've been involved with Veterans for Peace since 2003, and was an officer with the local chapter for eight years. I have helped organize many peace demonstrations. One concern while organizing was how to exclude extremist groups that would try to hijack our event. They were public events, so we couldn't exclude them explicitly, but we did put out messaging that the people dedicated to the cause should follow our peaceful protest, and ignore both the agitators and the hijackers. Stay focused.

Also college students aren't just 18-22 year olds.

Let’s get the actual student count of those arrested. It is good to see students care about something other than social media. How about protesting guns, the environment, voting rights!

Kinda disingenuous to ask where these kids were when Syria was going on because almost all of them were too young to do anything or be heard

Rev. Sharpton, I am of European descent and have chosen to have the uncomfortable conversations you referred to with friends that are African American. The discomfort faded quickly, the mutual respect will last forever.

I can't Morning Joe anymore. Sad 🥺

I would think that a young person(not me) living in America today can see quite clearly the corruption and the 2 tier justice system. If you refuse to hold yours leader accountable for their crimes and they are able to openly flout the flaw why wouldn't you as a student show a total disregard for the rule of law.

Guess what? There are a lot of Jews involved in the protests too. This is giving me the vibes of focusing on the riots that took place during the George Floyd posts. Wanting an end to the killing in Gaza does not equate to having something against the Jewish religion. And btw phrase "From the river to the sea" is as misconstrued as much as "Zionism". You guys need to refocus on what's important. I don't advocate for the destruction of property, but Columbia's endowment is topping $13 billion. They'll be fine.

They may not all be students, but they are all adults. They're not children, anyone over 18 years of age is an adult.

So do you need to be a student to be in sense in disgusted by 34,000 in counting innocent death by indiscriminate bombing? Just asking for a friend

"Just an insult with no substance behind it." the perfect description of almost every public comment that trump has ever made

Interview the freaking protestors already. All this lame coverage of this issue is turning me off the program big time.

Rev is always spot on with his commentary. Much respect.

Good insight and a valuable discussion. I agree that anti-Zionism has been branded as anti-Semitism by the extreme left and the extreme right factions in the US. Standing against the autocratic tendencies of some in the Israeli government and other powerful individuals and their oppression of working class Jewish people has become synonymous with being against all Jewish people. The media as a whole has failed to separate out these two distinct facts, and have instead chosen to double down and amplify this disinformation. Glad that this program is finally starting to have the difficult conversations that are necessary to have right now.

Joe etc is showing his con cred

How sweet for Joe to have set this up for Mika. I love surprises like that. Although it's been too many years since I've had any. However, my fur baby kitty gives me little surprises often enough to keep me going.

They're organized? This generation grew up with social media. It's SO easy to reach people across the world and organize a cause.

Mika flips out when rayce hussla Al compares the unrest on college campuses to January sixth.🤣🤣🤣

Trump introduced a 25% tariff on all imported steel in 2019 which resulted in over 75,000 Americans losing our manufacturing jobs!

In 1968 the riots in Chicago during that convention were NOT student incited but police instigated.. Joe's parents seemed overly misinformed somehow, understandably, tho, disgusted to the point of sacrificing their politics unwarrantedly.

Reverand , the world needs your help!! Hopefully, we break through!

From the River to the Sea is the 3rd or 4th paragraph in the Likud Party manifesto

Biden needs to address these student protests nationwide and there needs to be stipulations on aid to Israel.

Why didn’t protest against the Supreme Court’s decision on abortion like this ?

1:28 Even if they are students, what do the parents have to do with it? They are grown enough to go to college, they aren't children 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄

Yes I know there's some hate but remember the Vietnam era protesters call and labeled every returning soldier as a baby killer and had them hanging their heads and hiding their service for decades long before there was rolling thunder before Vietnam veterans memorial Was a cruel thing for people doing their service. History we now have a different perspective perhaps in a decade we will see Israel was wrong not the Jews but the Israeli

The thing I don't like about morning joe is that, there's never an opossing opinion on the panel. And he gets away with it because he a republican on a liberal network

Can we stop asking "where are their parents?" They're adults!

The issue is that most people don't understand what a 100% authentic Middle Eastern looks like. My mom was very dark-skinned with very curly hair. By the end of the summer, many people thought my brother was African American. People have asked my son if he is black or white. Historically, Jews were the blacks of Europe, and like the US, with blacks, Jews were discriminated against due to skin color.

My I voted for Reagan the first time I could ever vote. My parents were Republicans. My grandma was Republican. I voted for Reagan because he was protecting the redwood trees. I have voted Democrat ever since. My boyfriend was in Vietnam and my daughter's father was in Vietnam. My father was in the Korean war. VOTE 💙🙏🏼🇺🇲🎆

Obliquity, irony and hypocrisy all walk into a bar.... The bartender says, "what can I get you Mr. Trump"

This broadcast ends many years of me having my coffee and listening to Morning Joe to start my day! Our country was founded in Revolution, the posturing is disgusting!

Need some evidence of “outside agitators” please

💕💕 Meka’s BD 🎁 her enthusiasm for mini melts is priceless 🎉

Don't ever lose track of world peace. We must all have that in our hearts and actions. There will always be trouble makers. The police need their cause to be more true to life to keep peace among these demonstrations. Hard job and people pushing with anger have to know there anger may be justifiable but makes a wave uncontrollable. The best way I saw protests work in high school "68" and "69" against the war in Vietnam - were sitdown strikes. You make your statement and stay in peace for "peace sakes"

I would like to talk to you , Joe... because, our reasons that we choose what we choose is no longer relevant, because people are not informed and empathetic of others!! To say any more is just another discussion.. do we want positive or not??

This is beyond students being involved- it’s citizens not wanting their country supporting genocide.

University of Utah has protesters as well

I was once a protester. Gen X here. What is sad about these students is that they go out and protest and then go home to their studies, families, pizzas, and video games. They go back to their lives. This is all a blip. How many times have we seen this? It is easy to protest and break things and get mad. It is harder to commit to actually doing something about it.

Joe Biden does need to step up to the plate and do what it takes to stop this. And it shouldn’t have to be the police bring in the reserves give them something to do.

Shut up they’re adults they don’t need their mummies and daddies ..they have a right to speak ..

American citizens are not required to support any foreign country or genocide.

We protested the Vietnam war and Nixon heard us.

The Acho/Tisby discussion is great! Thank you for bringing them in to talk about nuance in understanding politics, history, and relational discourse. We would live in a better world if more people engaged in uncomfortable yet nuanced discussion with the aim of actually hearing what other people think.

Look at those policemen and women protecting genocide. Amazing.

Maybe the students have their parents there protesting with them!!..

Happy birthday Mika.💐

Happy Birthday Mika!!!

Real talk. As I dude who had to take out a loan for collage. Stop with “where are their parents”. It’s a college.

🌷Gosh, a guy who get your coffee every morning, and sets up such a nice birthday surprise.. 🥰 Does Joe have a single brother? 😏 Happy birthday Mika!!

Always side with the students for they are always on the right side of history.

The young generation want no part in genocide, so sorry about that

When was the last time that a quiet, peaceful protest did ANY good or made any difference in foreign policy? Who notices or cares about a peaceful protest of people in a park or along the side of a road, where the people are just holding signs and chanting slogans? Those kind of protesters are smiled at, laughed at, and then ignored, and they make no impact on their efforts to stop injustices! When writing letters, making phone calls, and trying to make their protests be noticed don't make even a little difference in a topic that they believe in, what else are they supposed to do to have anyone listen to them or actually MAKE AN IMPACT? We are told that, if we are unhappy with what our government is doing, then we should vote them out of office, but in a system where gerrymandering and voter suppression are blatantly being implemented across the country, and with one side willing to cheat and resort to insurrection in order to seize power & control our country, we feel like we are backed into a corner without a voice, and our REPRESENTATIVES are being replaced by RULERS who don't care about the citizens, but only want control and obedience! Instead of attacking these protesters and saying how awful and stupid they are, why don't you come up with a VIABLE alternative where they can voice their dissatisfaction and actually be heard and listened to, because their goal is to make a difference and STOP A GENOCIDE and a decades-long oppression of an ethnic group! At least the protesters are doing SOMETHING about the inhumane atrocities that our country has turned a blind eye to over the last 76 years, while Israel has controlled and victimized a nation in an attempt to drive them from their own land! They've been forced to choose between living in an open-air prison with substandard living conditions, or fleeing their country that they have lived in for centuries! They have lost their many of their freedoms, and have had more and more of their country unjustly stolen, seized by Israel and turned into "Settlements" for Israelis who had no right to the land! And the Palestinians are ruled by terrorists, Hamas, who don't care whether they live or die! But we, as Americans, are supposed to sit quietly and watch as one of our "allies" commits war crimes & genocide against people who have no say in this war between Israel and Hamas! We are tired of our country backing Israel, no matter what atrocities they commit, because it's beneficial to AMERICA in the game of international dominance to have an "ally" in a volatile region!

Whoever they are... destroying property and trespassing is against the law!! Shame on all of them!!! They are a disgrace!!

I object to many of the critisms by many on this show. It's hard to get your point through without such behavior by students but at times vandalism and violence occurs which should be lawfully addressed. What education are they getting when so much is going on in the world. Some Students have decided this is important to them. We ourselves shrug at all the suffering going on in the world as long as we and our loved ones are safe. Some Students can become impassioned due to the ideals they hold about the world. We should respect them and not insult their intelligence by telling them they are ignorant or should find a better way to make their point known. During the Jim Crow years in America, Apartheid in South Africa and other struggles people often risked their education, limbs and life to protest while they were ignored or suppressed by the powers that be most of the time. And I am sure Joe's parents didn't decide to become Republicans just because students protested the Vietnam war in a violent manner. They too were once young and they know what youthful idealism is; this idealism is a gift to us older ones which we should never suppress but learn from.

Tishby and emmanuel are amazing!!

OCCUPY WALL STREET MADE FAR MORE SENSE !!

did we not be in agast over The Tinamon Square in China over the students being attacked by military? Now China is looking at us.

Joe is sounding like Richard Nixon.

I wish they would put a pin in it and start focusing on only the election, that we must win, in order to keep our country. If they were focusing on the election, they would stop these university protests, because it can cost us this election.

May I take a slightly different position? I am a born again Christian who has studied many religions in the world. I do not consider myself to be anti-Semitic in any form, but I have come to realize that many of the Jews around me are scared to discuss their faith with Christians. I fight for an America where I can say, "Merry Christmas" to everyone and where everyone can answer back, "Happy Chaunakkah," "Have a great Day of Enlightenment," or "Good Solstice," back. What can I do to make the Jewish people feel more comfortable discussing their beliefs without fear of recrimination or reprisal?

Happy Birthday, MIKA!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙

Joe, let others talk. You ask questions, then override person who answers. It is annoying to say the least.

Hey!!!Happy birthday Mika ❤

We got to find out, who exactly organized and paid those outside agitators??

My goodness, reverand!! Wow!! There is such a bigger message that has to be communicated on the open front, my friend!!

Considering they are college students and your saying their info comes from tic toc....it's begs the question .......what are the college teachers teaching them then ?!

Happy Birthday Mika😊 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎉🎉

HOW IS ANY OF THIS HELPING THE PEOPLE OF GAZA OR PALESTINE?! THE ISSUE HAS BEEN LOST IN THE UNLAWFUL AND CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR OF THE PROTESTERS!

At the university of buffalo, They just arrested fifteen people to break up that protest. Ten of the fifteen are not students there.

There is no good supporting evidence for ANY "outside agitators".

Happy birthday Mika ❤

Wow, Mr. Sharpton. I am very surprised and saddened by your remarks. And Morning Joe, how do you support this Palestinian holocaust?

Look, obviously, I can see the law being broken. There will be consequences. Students or outside agitators will be jailed. Protest, but don't break the law.

The Rev nailed it. They've made it all about them. I saw some protestor at one of the larger demonstrations say "we want to return to April 18!" Apparently, that's significant to to one of the campus protests. April 18? What about 7 October -- remember that?

Mika?? where's mine for the eighth, babe?? lol

Happy Birthday, Mika!! 💙

Break it down, Symone!

Great Show Today 💙💙💙

These parents should be so proud. I hope that I am raising my children with the morals and values that these parents raised their kids! They are fighting for peace, they are fighting for justice. Its shameful how you cover these protests.

A clear and present danger to HUMANITY

No reason to question the colour of the tents! Gaza Lives Matter. Talk sensibly.

Who gets to laugh at us? The teachable shall inherit the earth.

Happy Birthday Mika!!!❤❤❤

Very sweet birthday surprise for Mika: good move, Joe. :)

That's cool. Happy and a lifetime of birthdays, Mika. Joe, you are a great hubby. Roll Crimson Tide.

🎂 Happy Birthday Mika!!! 🎂

I'd like to see some actual evidence for the "outside agitators" claim. It's exactly the same claim made against civil rights protestors and anti-Vietnam war protestors in the 1950's and 1960's. College students who went to Mississippi for Freedom Summer were called outside agitators, because they were helping black people register to vote.
