More than 50 people were arrested at two New York colleges as pro-Palestinian protests continued around the country. At Columbia University, there were new questions about who took part in the protests and occupation, with officials saying many of them were not students. NBC News' Erin McLaughlin reports.

[@punishedmadotsuki9732]

how is it a hate crime to burn an israeli flag when its literally legal and free speech to burn an american flag.

[@NickWeissMusic]

I’m a Jewish Israel supporter, and it shouldn’t be a hate crime. Hate crimes in general are pretty stupid. The Star of David makes it a hotter flash point, and we all know this is a religious battle at its core, radical Islam vs the easiest target in this case, but the burning of a flag is freedom of expression, full stop. Would I hire him? No, I would not, and that is in fact the beauty of free expression.

[@Coltavena]

You know why. Same reason the entire country police are cracking down on college students protesting with such urgency, yet they did nothing about BLM riots, January 6, border crossings EtC.

[@matt5721]

​Israel is a genocidal ethnofascist apartheid state. Conflating Israel with a diverse worldwide diaspora is antisemitic in and of itself.

[@pubIicdomain]

@@NickWeissMusicI understand you, Israel was attacked by Hamas in Gaza and ~1500 were killed by what most of the Palestinian movement is about is the fact that Israel has been a lot worse. Because Israel has cut off read our es in total war tactical not only to Gaza but to the west bank(totally unrelated to Gaza) and is placing settlers in theses areas(to make it harder for 2 state solution)and the Palestinian casualties (lots from innocent west banks) has been ~30,000, TWO THIRDS OF THIS 30K ARE BOT JUST CIVILIANS BUT WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

Protesting is fine. Camping, defacing, occupying builds are not fine. Its not a question of whether their stance on the issue is right or wrong.

When you give away free college, to undeserving opportunists looking to further their lives at the expense of others ,...WHAT DID YOU EXPECT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN? UNDESERVED GRADES AND A FREE LUNCH DO NOT INSTILL PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY OR MORALS, IN FACT REWARDING THESE DOLTS WITH A FREE EDUCATION IS SENDING A CLEAR MESSAGE , EVERYONE IS ABLE TO SEE THE RESULTS. COLLEGE IS CLEARLY NOT FOR EVERYONE. GETTING A DEGREE IS WORK, SOMETHING THESE "PROTESTERS" DO NOT UNDERSTAND. And these are not protesters, they are self entitled opportunists seeking attention and forgiveness for their guilt for deceiving their clueless parents, and their self loathing. These are the bottom of the barrel, and all of the other students working hard to actually learn something can spot them a mile away. The real insanity are these sociology professors who believe they know better, when they themselves are total failures as actual human beings. Sociology professors are the result of helicopter parents, montisorie schools and permissive idiots who all should have been investigated by real child services organizations. This is a direct result of participation awards and lax parenting where the parents are NOT parents but life buddies and friends. This is also a direct result of single mothers demanding their rights and child support so that they can be free to do whatever they want. Simple fact: Personal responsibility and consequences are NOT being taught anymore. These students are free to destroy, make demands, and lie and steal from anyone or anything, all in the name of their rights. YOUR RIGHTS, AND THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF ACTUALLY LIVING IN A FREE SOCIETY DO NOT MATTER TO THESE PEOPLE!

[@gibransirat8454]

"How would this free Palestine?" Can't tell if you're being good faith or purposefully dense. Their demands are that institutions where they study divest from a country (Israel) who, according to every international org, is engaged in a mass murder of tens of thousands of children, women and men.

Shimon Peres - served as the ninthPresident of Israel, FROM POLAND!! Another not Semitic person!! Wow!! 7. Reuven "Ruvi" Rivlin - Israeli politician and lawyer who served as the tenth president of Israel, descendant of Vilna Gaon, POLISH-LITHUANIAN…. WOW another person who isn’t Arab and isn’t Semitic!! Wow!! 8. Isaac "Bougie" Herzog - current president of Israel, Irish and Syrian. Let’s do some more, this one is my favorite!!! 9. Benjamin Netanyahu - an Israeli politician who also claims descent from Vilna Gaon, served as the ninth prime minister of Israel from 1996 to 1999 and from 2009 to 2021, and his father, Warsaw-born Benzion Netanyahu (né Mileikowsky; 1910-2012), was a historian specializing in the Jewish Golden age of Spain. 10. Ariel Sharon - Shmuel Scheinerman (1896-1956) of Brest-Litovsk (Belarus not Semitic land) and Vera (née Schneirov) Scheinerman (1900-1988) of Mogilev (Russia again, not Semitic land). It’s funny, these are the same people who call actual Semitic people “anti-Semitic”, while usurping and occupying their land and religion.

No it’s not okay for anyone but trump to have free speech. You have it the other way around. College students have always been punished for dissent.

It's a hate crime to burn an Israeli flag, but it's completely fine and not a war crime for Israel to bomb thousands of innocent men, woman, and children because Hamas "might" be hiding among them. I was being sarcastic just so we're clear.

Have you ever felt like there's something missing in your life? Like no matter how hard you try, there's a void that nothing seems to fill? I know that feeling. I've been there too. But let me tell you about something that changed everything for me - the Gospel of Christ, the Good News that transformed my life in ways I never thought possible. Imagine this: a love so deep, so unconditional, that it reaches into the darkest corners of your soul and whispers, "You are not alone. You are loved beyond measure." That's the love of Christ. In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, the Gospel offers a steadfast anchor, a rock-solid foundation on which to build your life. It's not just a set of beliefs; it's a living, breathing relationship with a Savior who knows you intimately and cares for you deeply. And here's the best part - no matter what you've done or where you've been, there is grace. Forgiveness. Redemption. The Gospel tells the story of a God who became flesh, walked among us, and willingly gave His life so that we might live abundantly. But it doesn't end there. The Gospel is a story of hope - hope that transcends the brokenness of this world and points to a future filled with promise and purpose. It's a promise of new beginnings, of second chances, of eternal life in the presence of the One who created you and knows you by name. So if you're searching for meaning, for purpose, for something more, I urge you to explore the Gospel of Christ with an open heart and an open mind. Let it speak to you in whispers of love and shouts of joy. Let it lead you on a journey of transformation and discovery. And let it remind you, always, that you are never alone - for He is with you, now and forevermore.

The last dude saying that they feel like their voices will never be heard. Maybe they should actually go protest in front of government building so they’re heard not in front of school buildings. The only thing people here is about violent protesters because you aggressively took up an area and refused access access in a physical manner. Kind of sounds like Israel and what they’re doing to the Palestinians.
