So essentially...he said nothing

Breaking and entering and taking hostages are not protected speech.

It's a sad day in America when peaceful protesters can't sing Kumbaya, smash windows, storm and occupy a university building!

Shame on the American people they're handling this wrong and they know it!!😢

Free speech is one thing but trespassing and damaging property is a different thing

Mom and dad should turn off the credit cards and these people will be out the door so fast

We have the right to protest it doesn’t mean you get what you want this is democracy. It’s not give me what I want otherwise I have the right to…

Withdraw accreditation from Columbia. When the administrators have to stand in front of 30.000 students and tell them they are not getting a college degree, you will see how fast they will take care of the Hamas crowd.

If you do not want Congress involved then refuse Federal funds. Of course, you will not.

Send them to federal prison. In there they can protest the aryan brotherhood

They said the same things during the protests of 1984

Thanks guys for standing for justice and humanity.

Free speech unless you say something against Israel.When I was in college were protesting against S.A. apartheid and demanding that UC Berkeley divest...it happened! Apartheid ended shortly thereafter and Mandela was awarded the Nobel Peace prize. Know your history! Keep it up, please don't give up students!!

No FREE SPEECH on youtube or GOOGLE!

This happened in the 60's and in the 80's, it's basically Columbia U tradition.

"Israel working to block feared ICC arrest warrants against PM, others over Gaza war" -- headline from The Times of Israel. 4/28/24 ICC = International Criminal Court

It's not peaceful! It's a riot!

If they don’t want problems in his college, they need to shut it down

See how easy it is to ask for i.d.? And no one is screaming discrimination. This is to make sure that those who are supposed to be there are allowed to do so and keep bad faith actors out. Voting should be the same way.

No one should be allowed to enter the campus wearing a head scarf, mask or sunglass, or concealing their identity for the next 30 days.

They will all be expelled ,coverage will fade,everyone forgets except the kids who won’t ever get accepted into any uni after this. For what?

Simple solution for the students that don’t want to abide by the colleges rules and refuse to sign the form then find another college maybe in another country

Don't forget one another's basic humanity and dignity.

Free Americans from AIPAC

By that same measure, January 6 was also the defence of free speech. You can't pick and choose which laws to enforce. The law is the law. Enough is enough

This is shameful! This is NOT what we do to protest. We have sit ins, not violence. Shame on all of you!

Now you know why they won't cancel student debt.

They need to be expelled

Quick somebody tell me the difference between this and the January 6

Just checking IDs will solve half the problem. Ukraine war, Afghanistan war, Iraq War every war should have been protested. Why even gun violence and deaths inside america should have been protested. America is constantly involved in wars.... by that means these students should have a full time job just protesting. University is for getting education. You fight for local rights, dorm housing rights , education rights is one thing, but to fight against foreign policies that universities have no role in framing is completely another thing. Universities shouldnt change investments policies based on politics of war...science and research is for common people not for war hungry politicians. As tax payers... money for wars come from us. Actual divestment needs to happen there not from universities. Without coordinated outside funding such protests are not possible. Finals in two weeks - what a great way to flunk finals, get suspended and waste all money. Protests are not even for a ceasefire in Ukraine or Gaza - they dont want the war to stop? Portests are also not for humanitarian aid. These great students should first learn source for war funding ... universities any where in the world are not involved in funding these wars. Tax payers are. And people who you elected to office are doing these - funding wars, defunding police, not penalizing any crime, allowing illegal immigration and routing trillions of tax payer money into wars. Stop voting for democrats and all wars should cease. Show the power with your vote. I have seen activists storm city council meetings on the same issue...again DUMB people --- city council is for solving local issues not foreign policies.

Civil disobedience. Proceed based on those laws.

We should ask him a basic question : "How does him becomes a professor in this school ?" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont criticize genocide, you might hurt the feelings if blinkin

It's scary to also know that some of those terrorists weren't even from the school. And I say terrorists because it truly causes terror to the folks who are minding their own business. Good on the authorities for doing something.

National guard, expulsion and DOJ.

The university 🗿 The CEO🗿 The studnets 🗿 The teachers🗿 Everyone 🗿

what's this at the .09 mark?

Sure. Worse for those who want Anarchy and the Professors who support it.

Clearly these students don’t realize their message is lost the minute they start to break the laws and create a violent environment for others on campus. They are no longer the solutions and hence become the problem and distractions. 😢. I suspect many aren’t even students. Ask them to show their faces and arrest the kids who have break the laws and see what type of student I’d they have.

These are supposed to be some of the smartest kids?

Columbia is not gonna ask for damages?

Keep going guys! Don't worry! No students no campuses exist! They need your tuition fees.

When University Students wants to get involved in Foreign Policy, then obviously Politics will come to you. Newton's Third Law and Second Law of Thermodynamics

Thats not all the banners said. Tell the truth. Some of them had hate speech against jews on them.

Congress should stay out of it and respect first amendment rights. These students should be applauded and heard. They are fighting for a noble cause.

Most kids excitement seekers. Both sides achieving nothing.

Open the freaking gate! Students who are trapped on campus need food, water, and use the restroom. Depriving basic human needs and force the students to give up and leave is not right.

Oh yea, almost forgot, let's pay off thier student loans! 😂

They’ll learn all about freedom of speech once they go to court to face the charges. The judge will interpret it for them if their lawyers don’t. I’m pretty sure they will plead guilty but I hope they go to trial.

ABC News, please correct the headline/title of this video. It has been consistent across all these protests which have been set at postsecondary campuses that a lot of folks participating in these protests are NOT students or faculty. It is also consistent that these protests have been at least in part organized by outside groups and certainly information protesters are using as basis for their protests are in large part coming from outside sources (e.g., Tik Tok). So, please, be more precise here. Because we have had events such as these in history where students have been recruited/used for outside purposes.

Students are protecting because they want their university to divest from Israel to prevent the genocide! Is this simple to understand that people of Gaza have the same basic human rights that all of us do and they deserve to be treated with respect and humanity! This is all we are speaking up for and it’s not hard to understand!!

A major source of funding for SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine) comes from the American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), whose leaders were implicated by the U.S. government for financing the Gaza-ruling Palestinian terror group Hamas. There have been links between Hamas supporters and the leadership of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.The American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), a major supporter of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is the campus arm of the American BDS movement.

Members of Congress are not Outside agitators regardless of their party or platform, left, center, or right.

Which Fascists are we allowed to call fascist?🤔 I need a list.🤷‍♂️

GET EM OUT!!!!!

you have the right to say whatever you want, that's your freedom of speech, but if you broke the laws, you should be arrested and expelled from school.

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Якщо Колумбійський університет не хоче бути храмом науки, то його слід позбавити ліцензії. Нехай навчають там кухарів, масажистів, показують як носити арафатки на бездумній голові!

The scary thing is somedays some of the protest will become 💣 where is the FBI and police

❤❤❤

Send in Team America!

Do these kids really have nothing to do? Idk about them but my finals are this week lol

More of this type coming across border

Where is our fearless leader! 😂😂😂

terrorists not protesters

Where army?

Hey they locked hopefully no water no food no bathroom in that hall

Colossians 3:23-25 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. Psalm 7:11-12 11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 12 If he turn not, he will wet his sword: he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

Protesting the US support of the genocide in Gaza is not anti-Semitic. It's showing human empathy, which seems to be missing among most US politicians.

Mike Jn is simply BS!

Why don't they go over to Gaza they are looking for help

the professor's are the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

✊✊✊✊✊✊

look at all their faces covered ...... proud of themselves ?

What say you AOC ? 🤔

i hope that isnt happening at arkansas u

Sooooo, these where not students that attended Columbia? Hints the front gate, and the encampment. Ya, No. Not free speech.

Ivy league outta control

The proffesor said allot and nothing

Shame

Looks like and is described like January 6th.

R i d i c u l e s. I am grad that my kid decided to turn down Columbia, and go for other school last year. Otherwise, I will be worried. I support free speech and their heart for Gaza, but I also hope that they condemn Hamas. They are not productive, they just make thing worse.

DEI policies didn't bring harmony or love among all these "oppressed" minorities.

🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

No to a cease fire support Israel

Defund police

Hey everyone, I have seen something that may interest you: 'THE SAAD TRUTH: My Chat with Mosab Hassan Yousef, Son of Hamas'...

I’m not pro-Palestinian but I am firmly anti-genocide regardless whether it is committed by German against Jews or Israel against Palestinians.

In the past 7 months alone, more children have been unalived by Israel's military than the total number of children that live in Pennsylvania's capitol (over 14,000 children 18 and under)... and yet most of you are more outraged by the fact that these college students who are witnessing this horror play out in real-time are protesting it, and not as politely as you'd prefer.

It’s free speech and antisemitism.

Clowns 😂😂😂

There are thousands of Jweish people who are pro- Palestine, so this anti-Semitic rhetoric is false.

Impeach Biden

Students were peaceful until damn police and congress make things worse.

FREE Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

We stand and support Israel 🇮🇱🦅🇺🇸

World Central Kitchen Will Resume Operations in Gaza The organization halted aid efforts in the enclave after seven of its workers were killed in an Israeli attack. It said it would resume operations with a local team of Palestinian aid workers.

Let immigrate to Saudi Arabia and Muslim universities

Free Palestine. We will not be silenced.

0.001 percent we are going to do it with this much of the world ✡️
