Chris Hedges on "Israel's War on American Universities" Full Event

[@bassam.2023]

Both speakers were absolutely brilliant. It's a shame that the lady speaker is not named in the title of this video, for she is certainly worthy of speaking about these matters right next to Chris Hedges. I have never heard a speech so intense as the one Hedges gave. It felt like no one dare breath so as to not miss a syllable of what he had to say. Superb!

[@triky5384]

You cannot protest against anything without a permit in the US but the US supports all the violence and killings that opposition groups in Venezuela have done. Long live freedom of expression!

[@jyuja]

Kudos to the 2 young ladies for their moral courage and humanity and to Chris Hedges a moral giant who deserves the Nobel Prize for balanced journalism and thoughtful analysis of the injustice inflicted by Israel on the Palestinian people since 1948 with Washington's complicity and systematic support.

[@madams6796]

According to a SJP email received yesterday, the ban has been lifted at NE University....Justice prevailed!!

[@DerekFullerWhoIsGovt]

This is the longest running genocide I can think of.

[@AlexanderZapataIndividual]

The longer the more profitable for the arms dealer. You know, the US military.

[@DerekFullerWhoIsGovt]

Not the military. Private weapons/Defense contractors.

[@tiyamoon]

9 years later. It’s ongoing & escalated to what seems like a certain conclusion in the coming months 💔

[@chokinonashes61]

Mr Hedges brought tears to my eyes, what a beautiful speech.

[@annewhite9850]

Why can the world's populace criticise and condemn any country in the world except Israel. What makes Israel a special case. To criticise Israel is not anti Jew or Anti-Semetic, no more than to condemn American actions makes one Anti-Christian.

[@skyblazeeterno]

+Anne White I think Israel IS criticised BUT its largely not in the US

[@benangel3268]

Because the Jewish population have a disproportionate amount of power at the top end. They control many of the giant corporations and universities. They have a huge influence in the government and the media. I definitely do not blame them for all our problems in this world, but a small percentage cetainly have a huge amount to answer for.

[@austkast]

The part where he reads the letter from Rachel Corrie to her parents, that's powerful.@37:05

[@ShaunG74]

what a great heartfelt speech by a great man

[@Cabronosidad]

The Real News just earned its title.

[@AlexanderZapataIndividual]

Why? because the content happens to be the one you spouse? Reality goes beyound this video. Get it in your head.

[@ezrabiggins90]

Alexander Zapata What a strange objection you raise. What a baseless accusation you level.

[@AlexanderZapataIndividual]

ezrabiggins90 Pointless comment. Pointless objection and baseless acusation. Pointless pointing it out. Pointless writing this. I only pretend to read his mind. Thats all.

[@knowthingman]

So of course the organization was banned. But you can't ban _justice_

[@MS-in3sl]

that's a courageous and rightful young woman giving the introduction speech !

[@vkrumins]

One of the most compelling videos I have ever seen on KZbin. I pity anyone who isn't deeply moved by this.

Many people choose to bury their heads in the sand rather than hear these TRUTHS !! Thank you Chris, for speaking TRUTH for all to hear. Maybe some sound will penetrate through the sand ??

[@bernie4268]

Ok

[@kaizen960]

What they doing to the palestine people is heart breaking. Stop the invasion, stop the land theft!

[@marielarge265]

Chris Hedges speech brought me to quiet tears for no one could not sense the truth in his words.. All labeling of those who speak against Israel as antisemitic is pointless and gaging legislation from various governments won't work because what is happening in Israel is happening and it is wrong. In essence the greatest changes have come from people saying over and over and in unison 'this is wrong and it must change.'

[@jamesrae7597]

Certainly one of America's best writers, speaker. and storyteller.

[@winger468]

james rae Sell outs.....

[@007kosty]

This is the best history I have heard anywhere about this situation in the Middle East. The Middle East has been the main crossroads of human history. Sadly History keeps repeating itself in the Middle East. The Palestine struggle now reflects the latest (since 1948) struggle of survival in that region of the world. History has never shown equal treatment of everyone in the Middle East. The region has been totally cleansed of at least one race - The Philistines who no longer exist. It is sad that in a modern world that anyone would even attempt to repeat that sad History. Yet here it is, for all to hear. Power corrupts and makes all countries play God when they have that power to exercise. Even the United Nations when given power uses it to victimize others. The whole issue to me why do we have to use power to take sides as humans always have. The terrorists are on both sides. Humans are always taking sides like children who never grow up. Here we go again. I expect because of this view, I will hear from all these people who refuse to grow up. For everyone who does -all of you need to grow up. Until you do, there will never ever be true Peace.

[@aliajellu]

Speak truth brother and sister. We love you 🙏

[@Uncle99B]

Jews view calls for forgiveness as anti-semitic

[@Uncle99B]

PMeursault Nah. The Jewish Lobby stands alone in its ability to prevent any critical look at anything any Jew does. Although the Gay Lobby has made tremendous strides in the past decade

[@gerryboudreault9403]

PMeursault Making a topic untouchable is a great way to hide a lie. the public nits forget that "Anti-Semitic" actually means anti-Jewish AND Arabic/Palestinian. A contradiction! wrong phrase Chomsky explains it far better

[@joecasey7415]

PMeursault Blacks are regularly vilified in the mainstream media. They are far from being untouchable. Only the Jews cannot be criticized, although gays are getting there

[@andreasandersen8858]

PMeursault being critical of jews for being jews would be antisemitic by anyone capable of logic? calling them israelis, or even better the state of israel would make the point much harder to press for them. Assign blame to the ones that deserve it not to a whole race of men or a whole nation. Do that and you can go far further in your criticism.

[@marby602]

It's an OLD & LAME diversionary tactic......... anyone trying to bring light to ongoing Israeli war-crimes & human-rights violations..... is met with the label of "Anti-Semite". Don't be fooled by that CRAP !!! Truth is Truth !!!

[@TheDrCarpy]

I love the COURAGE that people like this embody. unhappy with the status quo, so they fight the powers that be. Amazing. This truly is what freedom of speech was created for.

[@BrotherWoody1]

Terrific presentation.

[@spatanvegas2451]

Face the truth jew

[@Melchersson]

I just love to see that there still are intelligent and brave young people who dares to protest against the Gestapo like groups involving Police and the higher ranks of the Universities! We are passing the Police state and are moving towards dictatorships in the US and the EU!

[@chamboyette853]

This is shocking. I don't remember this being the case in my University years ago. Is this the case in general with Universities? Or could that woman be highly exaggerating?

[@chamboyette853]

***** Of course multicultural stuff is a lot easier to talk about than difficult but much more pressing subjects like overpopulation and global warming. If you were young during the Kent State shootings in 1970 then you must have been in your 60s when you went to college? Or am I missing something? In any case, from what I gathered, I fear you might be right about her not exaggerating.

[@chamboyette853]

***** Agree man. So you have the impression as well that limits on free expression have gotten worse since the early 70s?

[@chamboyette853]

***** Early 1990s. And you went to college both in the 1970s and today?

[@chamboyette853]

***** No I'm not taking a class. It's just from the video. I have the impression that American society now is a lot less free than it was in the 1970s with a great deal of fear. Am I wrong?

[@KrasnayaArmada]

Nice and quick. Was hoping you would get the full version.

[@waynecoe1]

This young person is so brave. Bless her.

[@GeirAndreTonning]

Chris Hedges for USAs president. Wote him in for God sake

[@mikecorbeil]

Both guest speakers greatly spoke. The first one to speak appears to be professor C. Heike Schotten. I couldn't make out more than the Heike part, for the student introducer, who also spoke very well, sounded like she said something phoneticallly seeming like Heikeshaten or Heikeshaken, but some Web searching for a professor who teaches political theory, feminist theory and "queer" theory at UMass in Boston turns up a matching page at Northeastern U. as well; both for associate professor C. Heike Schotten. I couldn't find a page with a photo of her, so couldn't confirm if C. Heike Schotten is the right match, but it definitely seems to be. UMB.edu has a page for her and the page I got at Northeastern U. is the following one. She's referred to under the topic of "Queer Theory and Politics". "Graduate Consortium in Women's Studies", Spring 2014 www.northeastern.edu/womensstudies/graduate/graduate_consortium The UMB.edu page for her profile says, quote: Areas of Expertise History of Western Political Thought, Political Theory and Philosophy, Nietzsche, U.S. Feminist Theory, Feminist Political Theory, Queer Theory End quote I won't add the UMB link, for I checked for the page for this video at TheRealNews.com in case it might provide more information and there's a note for people submitting comments, saying that comments with multiple links will be removed. So I guess that TRN or TRNN would also prefer that comments for therealnews videos at KZbin contain no more than one link. Anyway, this teach-in in support of Students for Justice in Palestine Chapter at Northeastern University is great wholly great and it's also great to learn about a student activist group or organisation in the US for the Palestinian cause. The next time that GlobalResearchTV at KZbin provides a new video about or related to the Israel-Palestine conflict, then I'll try to keep this one from TRNN in mind in order to post a comment with a link for this video. It was added to my human rights playlist as well as favourites list.

[@cb-akp]

[@syourke3]

So much for the First Amendment rights of univiersity students. Outrageous.

[@AudioPervert1]

brilliant inspiring speak by Chris Hedges. We have our voices, heart and common sense against their troops, tanks, bulldozers and control. No jargon no euphemisms.

[@AudioPervert1]

Melchersson - Im surprised and happy to hear your view. Rare as it is, most people now even refuse to talk of the genocide in Palestine and how 40years and 4 UN Resolutions later Israel and US ignore 130 plus nations in favor of Palestine. As much extremist violence that exists in the arab world as much zionist murder of civilians continues in the occupied lands. We must never not take sides, because religion and the vicious state will always sacrifice children, youth, women and men in the most savage ways.

[@Kinkle_Z]

What a shame that the intro is virtually inaudible...sigh...

[@j_thom]

Dammit. I want to thumbs up this vid, but if I do it'll take the number of thumbs up to '666', I'll try again in a few hours, by then hopefully some other poor soul would have drawn the devils attention to them instead of my wayward self. Maybe I shouldnt have said 'dammit', that's kinda cursing. Chris Hedges is an inspiration and an amazing asset to all humanity. Reminds those of us that have sleepwalked into this politically correct culture and "acceptable speech and thought" fog that has been indoctrinated into most of us to remember that first we are human and that first we should remember our humanity and that first we should behave humanely to each other.

[@TreDeuce-qw3kv]

After Chris...I feel like I went to church, and I haven't been in a church since at 12 I told my sainted Mother, that I no longer believed the bible*. Or in the Christian religion. And...that I no longer believed in God, which I now considered a human fabrication. And that I would no longer enter a church and attend Sunday school. Today, after Chris's profound sermon, I only wish that my brothers & sisters who have bought the party line, embraced the self-serving propaganda so widely disseminated without shame, that they would listen to the words Chris so aptly gifted us. But they won't. So entrenched in their belief system and world view with no tolerance for another possible reality and emphatically closing the door on a rational discourse. Crippled by their smothering cognitive dissonance. And so it goes............... Chis, Thank You. Ps! _ Years ago, I was fortunate to catch some of Chris's talks at Powell's Books in Portland. His critical and holistic thinking has had my respect ever since. *A voracious reader since five, I had read the entire New Testament.

I am struck by this young woman's anxiety. She is clearly deeply frightened. She is fully aware that her future is in jeopardy. Why? She knows what you are only just learning...Jews rule.

[@AccidentalLyrics]

Again, another Chris Hedges video with a terribly misleading name. This video is about the plight of the Palestinians.

[@Research0digo]

G-d this girl is driving me crazy!!! Can you imagine being the cameraman? I have my speakers all the way up and can't hear a word she's saying. Hopefully Chris will be louder. :(

[@truedonblue3949]

Like I was going to say, before I push the wrong button, when the collapse comes I hope it's so bad that the people will finally wake up and take revenge on those that brought this chaos to our doors, we will crush them where they stand, we will bring their armies to their knees, you can run but you can't hide.

[@jeffreysegal2065]

I would encourage anyone watching this to watch the trailer for Undressing Israel: Gay Men in the Promised Land, the documentary mentioned by the professor whose name does not appear in the description. I was shocked and enthused by the apparent openness to gays in Israel portrayed. Is Mr Lucas required to answer for the treatment of Palestinians? I don't think he is. Why is an obvious lesbian criticizing a gay filmmaker for also filming "porn" in Israel? I missed the point of her choice of Lucas as a player in a larger conspiracy to silence Palestinian dissent.

[@mieliav]

why is reporting on an open meeting "spying"?

[@ThatsMrPencilneck2U]

I am a Muslim... I don't want to offend anyone who stands up for justice and rights the wrong... Speaks on behalf of the weak and oppressed everywhere this is a good thing. but when I hear someone speak about Islam and the Muslims without asking Scholars of Islam specifically In the Arab lands like Saudi Arabia... when people do this grave mistake this is big error... the people who do this have not done their jobs never have the whole story

[@lawrenceholst3808]

Muslims have to constantly defend themselves through books and literature and that's okay... we need to be doing that but I have yet to see except for a few exceptions people Western writers who get this... Furthermore the books that I'm talking about have been written by anonymous Muslims who fear repercussion and you will not find their works in any major bookstores... Even though people like Norman Finkelstein and Chris Hardeman are voices for people who are oppressed who speak up for people who are weak I.e. Palestinian and other than them even the people in the US who have been robbed blind... from their wealth and have been made into debt slaves have not even understood that hard work pays but the one who lend you the money doesn't work for it you work to pay double you have been robbed of any understanding......

[@Majoofi]

Hedges is a great speaker. It's too bad he drags religion into it. It's a just an appeal to a non-existent authority and a claim of who is more moral.

[@boneyd]

***** So whether they're 'moral acts' or 'positive/proper' acts is all we're worried about here? Seems like the same thing to me; it's always upon us to define what moral/good/proper means. Wouldn't you agree that Hedges' interpretation is on the right track?

[@boneyd]

***** Umm, yes it is. Originally from the Latin 'moralitas': meaning manner, character, proper behaviour. I think you're splitting hairs if you're asserting that there's much of a difference. Mate, you've gotta learn to know an ally when you see one.

[@the81kid]

Better than appealing to the politicians.

[@gerryboudreault9403]

you all need enlightening. You don't hear the truth here? Read the other comments about Israel the Fourth Reich,- it's not the citizens' nation! Speakers like Hedges are the ignored prophets - at your peril.

That phrase "Anti-semitic" is such a lie. Arabs ARE semitic. European Jews are not. The religion had its origins in the near east with semitic people living there, but most modern day jews are not descended from that region. Those who are, and also from semitic cultures like Ethiopia, are semitic. So that's a completely bullshit thing to say and use ...even by anti-zionists like this woman speaking. There is so much hatred of Arabs and/or Muslims ..and Ethiopian jews ...THAT is anti-semitism. Get a clue intellectuals.

[@iangoldberg7245]

Does anyone ever talk about boycotting Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, China, Myanmar. Why only Israel? Its because of Jew hatred and anti-semitism. Its like the kid who gets bullied at school. When other kids see that one kid is being bullied they all join in.
