Revolt on Campus: Protests over Gaza Disrupt Graduation Ceremonies; Police Crack Down on Encampments

Support our work: www.democracyn...
Police have now arrested more than 2,500 students at pro-Palestine protests across the U.S., yet students continue to call for an end to the war on Gaza and universities' investment in companies that support Israel's occupation of Palestine. We speak to three student organizers from around the country: Salma Hamamy of the University of Michigan, president of the school's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, about the commencement ceremony protest she helped organize, and Cady de la Cruz of the University of Virginia and Rae Ferrara of the State University of New York at New Paltz about police crackdowns on their schools' encampments. De la Cruz was arrested in the UVA raid and banned from campus without an opportunity to collect any of her belongings. She says repression has strengthened the resolve of many protesters, who are willing to risk their academic futures to push for divestment. "All of us there felt like we have more time on our hands … than the people of Gaza," she explains, "We would hold it down for anything."

[@victorbernard1256]

From what I saw there were protesters and protest agitators. The agitators were well funded from outside the campus. I think the students were well meaning but overall quite dumb. They would shout chants they’ve been taught and know little if anything about the conflict. They were led to setup encampments and intimidate other students at the behest of a well funded group of agitators. I did see counter protesters but didn’t see any white supremacist. So that’s a red hearing Hopefully the FBI is involved investigating the funding for these professional agitators. As far as the students if they broke into a building or setup encampments that were clearly not allowed suspension and/or expulsion in order.

Settler thief

[@JFlower7]

Selfish students to interrupt hard earned graduation. All this is doing is making moderate people angry at them and their cause.

[@natmeyy7590]

Don't let school get in the way of your education! Some things are more important and worth the scarafice .Who stands up for the down trodden and those with out a voice ?

[@roberthornack1692]

How do you think all the things you take for granted like worker's rights, women's rights, civil rights, were achieved, by sitting on your ass & asking nicely! Grow up!

[@eviljesus5411]

anyone who is angry that these kids are trying to stop a genocide that their country is paying for is never going to side with them anyway

[@Anarchy-Is-Liberty]

Aaron Bushnell. the final social media post of Aaron Bushnell, the 25-year-old US Air Force serviceman who self-immolated in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington on February 25: "Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?' The answer is, you're doing it. Right now." Remember Aaron Bushnell Free Julian Assange Free occupied Falasteen from Israeli occupation force so Muslims Christians and Jews can live in peace in Falasteen. Free free Falasteen.

Free Palestine The biggest honor of my life, and something that I am proud of, is that I stand on the right side of history. Not on the side of the dark world. During my life I was active in several campaigns, the first of which was the anti-Vietnam war, in which we won. The second was against apartheid, in which we also won. Now, it is the campaign to free Palestine. I consider this more important than the others because now we are against apartheid, war, genocide, and racism all together. And I promise you that we will win this time too. Signed Your friendly retiree. Stockholm -Sweden

First, learn the definition of the word "genocide". The population growth rate is among the highest in the world: 3.4 percent in the West Bank and 4.0 percent in Gaza, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates. A full 45 percent of the West Bank population are children under 15 years of age, compared with 50 percent in Gaza. This is not a genocide. Period. An NBC News analysis of data from various sources indicates that more than 4 million Muslims have died in conflicts in Afghanistan, Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, Bosnia, Chechnya, and elsewhere since 1980. but who cares when Muslims illuminate Muslims. Yemen: Saudi Arabia and its ally, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have led a coalition of Muslim states in the Yemeni Civil War. This conflict has resulted in tens of thousands of Yemeni deaths and has driven millions more to starvation. Nothing special? Sudan: In Sudan, there have been instances of ethnic violence perpetrated by Arab forces against other ethnic groups. In Darfur, Arab troops killed hundreds of residents, many of whom were members of the Masalit tribe. Nothing special? But when Israel is defending his citizens against hamas and hezbollah with the help of radical Iran nothing is boring anymore?

If they're sitting around all day eating granola inside their tents it's loitering. If they're unruly (disturbing peace, vandalizing, etc.) it's called a RIOT, not a protest.

[@ibrahimkural1869]

If you want to see a riot, see Trumpest after election in congress...

[@gabchs]

what a ridiculous from these low standard universities………

[@hitreset0291]

Like harvard?

[@109PokerFace]

Why are the police so evil?? Why do they have so much hatred iin their hearts? Where does that come from? Is that all the pent up rage from the pandemic. That wanton cruelty aimed specifically at people that care about our country and principles; their comportment is totally on par with that of a school shooter.

[@Marss13z]

Stop lying about the police.

[@dazzlepecs]

these protestors are intimidating people and causing destruction, they are criminals

[@Disentropic1]

No, it's not new since 2019. This is how cops operate, particularly in the US.

Standing on the right side of the history for the sake of the HUMANITY is a responsibility for the people who believe in DEMOCRACY FOR THE WORLD.

[@goodgrief888]

“Right side of history” is a fallacy. History is written by the victors. The arch of justice bends towards whomever wins and gets to retell the entire story from their own ideological angle. Quit fooling yourself with this cliche.
