Pro-Palestinian protests and arrests grow on campuses nationwide

The protests against the Israel-Hamas war expanded on campuses from coast to coast. Columbia University and other schools warned those who have set up encampments to clear them or face disciplinary action. Many students remained defiant, with many arrested. NBC News' Liz Kreutz reports.

[@safuwanfauzi5014]

Here are 3 reasons why people support the Palestinian cause: 1- "The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies." - Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 Israel has been violating the above UN law for the last 56 years by building illegal settlements in the Palestinian territories recognized by the international community, including the USA, Great Britain and European Union. Note: Palestinian territories currently only form 22 percent of the historic Palestine territory which includes Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem with a population of over 5.3 million Palestinians. 2- Between 2008 and October 6th, 2023, the Israeli Army killed six thousand four hundred (6,400) Palestinians, as reported by the respected English journalist and author, Grace Blakeley. Surprisingly, virtually there has been no condemnation or discussion of these atrocities by mainstream media. 3- Israel always claims that it has withdrawn from Gaza in 2005 and pulled out 8000 settlers, whilst this is correct however, the following conspicuous facts are also true: A- Although Israel pulled out 8000 settlers from Gaza, it has placed more than half a million illegal settlers in other Palestinian territories which are recognised by the international community. [ Source- The economist - 06.11.2023] B- Despite the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 it has not allowed the Palestinians to have their own airport or seaport in Gaza or indeed the West Bank. C- Access to Water, Electricity, Telecommunications, Internet and the Borders of Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem have been controlled exclusively by Israel for the last 56 years. Palestinians already were killed before 7th October but slowly. The armed settlers expelled many Palestinians from their houses in the west bank, killed thousand of them, and many are arrested just because they were trying to get their rights and the world was blind and silent. Gaza was besieged. The journalist Shereen Abu Aqla was killed by Israeli force year before October 7 while covering occupation atrocities in the west bank. Itamar Ben Gfir and his party let settlers carry weapons as they want and attack Palestinians in their houses. They also support building illegal settlements everywhere. No one in the world said they are terrorists. How can people live such a life in their homeland? How can they defend while they are under the control of a cruel occupation that forbids their defense

Whole point of protesting is so that you disrupt the comfort of society so your demands are heard. If you sit quietly and peacefully outside campus with signs and don’t make noise, no body will care. Companies will keep sending their money to orgs that fund genocide. But if you disrupt the social order at school, make yourself loud and heard, be stern that you want change and will be this change, then your demands WILL be heard. Change requires uncomfortable, and that is what the students are bringing

Our military men and women were coming home in body bags. Atrocities were being committed against the Vietnamese people. Whole villages were being slaughtered. This was our government at the time. Once again, our young people are doing the right thing by standing up against evil and corruption.

You are deliberately twisting the truth. The Palestinians are being illegally occupied by the brutal regime of Israel. The Palestinians have every right to defend themselves under International Law. Allegedly UN cut numbers, how many are buried under rubble, injured, mamed, lifelong mental health issues. Thank you for letting us know you are a supporter of the G going on.

you are committing a logical fallacy, they are not protesting against Jews, what they are criticizing are Zionists. Like in the past, Albert Einstein also protested against the Zionists when Israel committed genocide in the village of Deir Yassin, Palestine in 1948, published in the New York Times, and there were several orthodox Jews who were also involved in criticizing the Zionists at other times and places.

Infifada? “Final Solution”? Zionists must die? We are all Hamas? Finish what was started on Oct.7? Death to America? Death to Israel? I mean, don’t get me wrong I think hate-speech doesn’t exist to begin with. But ignorance isn’t an excuse, especially in college, for blocking students from attending class (a crime), even if it wasn’t based on religion. Look up the definition of genocide. I see that being tossed around way too much to the point that nobody takes you seriously when you constantly call it that when it’s not. Exactly like the demand for racism far outstripped the supply so they create their own in their heads

[@pohanahawaii]

🕵 Actually, the student leaders and protest organizers *Khymani James, Mahmoud Khalil, Aidan Parisi, and Maryam Alwan* among others often posted/reposted violent anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas comments and suggestions on their social media. Ironically, they're also the *biggest users/consumers of all the companies that they want the schools to divest* from: Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp), Alphabet (Google, KZbin), Amazon (where they bought all their scarves and tents from), and Microsoft....

You have the right to peacefully protest, but you do not have the right to prevent people from going to the classes they paid to attend. It's also important to understand the issue you're protesting. I bet less than 10% of these protesters can even point out Palestine on a map.

🇺🇲🥺The elite of our students are applying what they studied in college regarding values, humanity, and justice. They are applying what they studied theoretically, and now they are applying it practically through demonstrations for human rights and human justice. Look, teachers, these students do not need a college degree. What they are doing now is the greatest testimony to their learning, memorization, and application of what they have studied with all their hearts While old Biden is implementing Netanyahu’s orders, yes he is implementing the orders of gangs and mafia in killing children and women and selling weapons. This is the difference between the educated and the uneducated

[@Observer75487]

The protesting students can go to Washington and protest, that is their right! But taking the rights of other students to study and graduate and go on with their lives is hooliganism! The war is immoral, if so, they should protest against the party who started the war! Palestine people has the right to live, but when they entrust their lives to a terrorist group to play with, that is their choosing! Making universities battle grounds for people who made bad choices is not right. Students should be proactive and reasonable and not controlled by outside elements, who have ulterior motives. The students who are so inflamed should take a bus to Washington and make tent cities.

Why can’t people just see that protests push progress. We would still have segregated schools if people didn’t protest it. People from all perspectives need to have their voices heard so that we can move forward as a society.
