Campus crackdowns and free speech debate
what in Earth does occupying a cafeteria and an Ivy League University campus have to do a with Gaza and be with changing Benjamin netanyahu’s mind investment and divestment there is in many ivy league universities a lot of money that comes or that is invested in Israel I think that many of the students here want two things they want divestment from Israel they want to make sure that none of their money is going to Israel they want Clarity on exactly where the money is going and they want to make sure in simple terms that these universities make public where their money goes to and that they divest from any connection to Israel so that is in simple terms what they want but they also believe that by making a noise and you know I’m just four blocks from the White House they hope here Joe Biden will see and hear them they want to make sure that America has nothing to do with Israel’s war on Gaza at the moment it is American money and American weapons that is fueling that war
#Protests over the #Israel-#Hamas war have reached boiling point across university campuses in the #UnitedStates.
Pro-Palestinian protesters are demanding their universities cut ties with Israel or any companies that support its ongoing war in #Gaza.
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson gets eyewitness analysis from US correspondent Mark Stone in #GeorgeWashingtonUniversity. They discuss the arrests, tear gas and counter-protest violence that is taking over universities.

Their money? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It fine if they want universities to disclose and even divest from Israel. However, if this is the case people need to maintain those same values for every country that does horrible things. I have not see demanding of universities stopping accepting funding around what chinese do to the weegers.
They're not making sure they arnt tied to israel.. israel are allies.. many many ties.. as far as peaceful,forget it. Is pro israel cant protest next to pro palestinians,its not fair and quite frankly,chanting death to america offends me greatly
Humm… in US non-profits, if someone donates and stupulates the funds be invested in let's say Israel, the institution MUST do so. No stipulation, then its free to do otherwise. However this is a shallow response to a complex issue.
What part of in the wee hours of the morning people where people were murdered raped kidnapped babies burned in ovens do we not forget to say. This is a paid provocateur done by no other than Soros. These protests are not about Gaza and Israel anymore. It's about creating chaos.
What sort of question is that?
I’m by no means on the left but Israel lobbyists influencing US politicians to send vast sums of money to Israel ahead of our own citizens’ needs is utter corruption. 26billion dollars in April alone!
Just like they don’t want this money or whatever goin to Isreal just tell them there not wanted in the university ever again !!!winner winner chicken dinner everyone gets what they want !!👍
It’s a democracy they voted Biden in and Biden makes the decisions for his sheep
Lol…their money. How ignorant. Why don't these delusionals do a researh on how much the US benefits from Isreal particularly inn tech. With the kind of students now in Ivy league nothing ground breaking can emanate. Isreal has more impact on US than many know. The same Americans who chose hypocrisy will not hold back of such atrocious act of October 7 happens in US.
Hmmm, I wonder why they don't demand divestment from China for its treatment of uighers or Iran for its treatment of women, or south Africa for its embezzlement. Could it be because its the only Jewish state?
They want the money to go to hamas
Because it shows they have a conscience & care about ending genocide
ney they want to destroy western civilization
Some dates of note:
632 Mohammed dies, Muslim expansionism begins
634-636 conquer Byzantine-Christian Syria
635 conquer Byzantine-Christian Jerusalem
641-642 conquer Christian Egypt
647 conquer Christian Tunisia
652 conquer Christian Sicily
654 attack Christian Crete
674 besiege Constantinople (in Anatolia – modern day Turkey)
682 conquer Morocco
7th century – East African slave trade begins (Muslims enslave and traffic Africans, finally ended by the British Empire in 1918 following the defeat of the Muslim Ottoman Empire which sided with Germany in world war 1 and declared jihad on the West)
711 conquer Christian Spain (which they continued to colonise and occupy parts of until finally expelled in la Reconquista of 1492)
720s/730s – attack the Pyrenees, including Christian Switzerland and Christian France (up to Tours)
846 – attack Rome
1095- First crusade to retake holy land
9 11
The popular understanding of The Crusades in the West is that they involved barbaric, violent Christians invading the peaceful and enlightened Islamic world. Films like Kingdom of Heaven and Mankind: The Story of Us reinforce this narrative. But the truth is the reality of the Crusades is much, much different. In fact, it's the polar opposite.
Boycott all companies that support Israel
Except that the Jews that they are targeting make more money then the forces attacking the citizens in the universities. If the Jews pull out their money from left leaning universities they will regret it .
BOYCOTT ALL COUNTRIES SPONSERING THE PROTESTORS.
THEY SHOULD ASK IRAN TO STOP FUNDING HAMAS TERRORISTS.
THERE ARE STUDENDS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES THAT ALSO HAVE RIGHTS
Protesting a genocide, a Palestinian Holocaust is bad?
Quatar invested in universities for decades and got us this mess
It’s MADNESS to even consider letting dissident students have ANY SAY in a University’s investments. Every future conflict will be an opportunity for them to press their beliefs.
Its not their money anymore once they've paid for tuition and if they dont like where the money goes, spend it on something else.
Based on their false assumptions, they are making demands. Hamas originally said 50,000 civilians died. Then it went down to 40,000.
Then they corrected the number to 30,000-33.
Out of that number, they said they overestimated (Apr 6) there is no evidence at all for 14,000.
Also, 13,000 dead terrorists. That’s 27,000 NOT civilian)
127 war correspondents(in crossfire/battlefield).
Every year people die in West Bank and Gaza, it’s listed in their statistics (yes, Palestinian Health Ministry).
The number of civilian deaths are actually less than the massacre of 10/07.
I despair , support a country that is fighting communism , but condemn one that is fighting for actual life against massive Islamic terror groups
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
America is behind the war in Gaza from its creation
Как насчет американской поддержки Ирану , на 60,000,000,000$ ?
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
They probably want to give that money to Hamas/gaza. They are so naive that they believe it will be used to rebuild instead of fund the next mass killing, rapes and kidnappings.
Correction, they don't want their money and government complicit in genocide
