Long Live Resistance

Juan Gonzalez is legend. What a dawg.

What a legend, Juan standing on business since decades ago✊

THESE YOUNG PEOPLE GIVE ME HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE

I had a professor in the early 70s who was a literal bystander at this protest. He had climbed into a tree to get a good view. The police came by, ripped him from the tree, and then seriously beat him. After that, he was no longer a bystander but an avid protestor.

I'm glad we have good people like Mr. Gonzalez in this world.

Juan you are so right. 1968 was hard for me from a working class neighborhood with a brother then in Viet Nam. Neither of us could find it on a map back then if asked. These students today are really courageous and know right from wrong and genocide is wrong. I would like to see more Americans get their news from democracy now or other sources outside of the mainstream where this genocide is on full display. Our government (both parties) are responsible for this with the funding to Israel. It must be stopped.

Never thought I would witness 1968 student protest crackdown again in 2024❤

thank you for pointing out the GLARING LACK of actual democracy by the "powers that be" currently. the overall difference between the two eras plainly shows the insidious incremental steps of heading towards actual fascism here in the u.s.

Anti genocide is not antisemitism

Thank you Juan Gonzalez

Wow. Thank you for this reference to history. I am outraged at the sudden anti democratic behavior of our government.

Brilliant Amy🎉Thank you Juan❤❤

Having Juan as a special guest is a massive flex

Thanks for speaking out and for being on the just side of history, Juan!

As a 64 year old Canadian woman I wish there was a lot more college and university protest here. My alma matar had nothing going on. We were very active in SA Apartheid divestment. I know the CDN post-secs are heavily invested in arms & military equipment. Disgusting 🤢

Juan is an international treasure!

God bless the courage of these students. Thank you.

Love it!! I was at San Francisco State from '68 to '70. Go Students!!!

So great to have you cover 1968!!! Nothing changes!

Good to see students still protesting injustice. Back in the 60s when I was a student, we protested the war. Now we have another unjust war. Keep protesting. History is on our side.

Juan is such an OG Beast! Much respect!

Thanks Juan. History maker.

Get up! Stand up! 🇬🇳

Juan Gonzalez making history once again!

Right on, Juan!

As one of my young Uber drivers said, "you lived it", Juan. Thank you, thank you for sharing. 💙🙏🏼💙

University students are usually at the forefront of social change, progressive movements and the action. I am happy to see that this continues to be true. We need to support our young folk, they will be the political leaders of our future and they are the voters of today.

wish i could be part of Columbia university. salute to these protestor for peace in Gaza and Palestinian

Got goosebumps seeing Professor Juan Gonzalez. His college class was the class I was supposed to be in, but cancelled, on 9/11. He was working for the Daily News and said he couldn’t stay cause he had to cover this story.

Thank you Juan! Your words should be heed to as you walked the walk, and continue to do so.

Wow Juan standing for rights since way back

Thank you, Juan

"And they've been crushing dissent ever since"! . . . And here we are . . .

Juan is an OG, hats of to you ,sir. Much respect.

'Acho, Juan. Me hiciste llorar. The way you honed in on the difference between '68 and now. I would have expected more humanity from university administrators. But, students always give me hope. ¡Que vivan les estudiantes! ¡Pa'lante!

Juan was such an example!!!

His voice is still the same 😂 big ups unc. 💪🏽 Juan Gonzalez has been a voice of reason during my lifetime.

Proud of our students.

I was a 15 year old high school freshman in San Francisco in 1968 when the student protests at Columbia broke out. What they did there 56 years ago inspired me to become much more involved in the anti-war movement of the day, which in turn led to me becoming a life-long left wing political activist. From my own experience, I know that what these courageous, righteous protesting students are doing right now,56 years later, on campuses across the country, is likely to have a powerful ripple effect. I salute them from across the decades. Respect.

Much respect to all the young people of conscience.✌🏾💜🇵🇸

Dr King believed in the power of Love and what he believed is the light that can not be put out

Vive resistance ❤ Way to go Juan

Vietnam era . . . same thing. The status quo doesn't want to lose it's position. The addiction to money, power and prestige makes people to horrible things.

I hope all students of Columbia University are safe, and I hope the Jewish students realize what's evident: the protest is not against Judaism, it is against genocide. It is against the same genocide we saw in WWII, in Rwanda, South Africa and many other parts of the world. Columbia University students who are fighting injustice will always be remembered as the ones who care for "justice for all." They are real nationalists in the "good way" of caring for your nation reputation and safety. If the war escalate, thousands of young American lives will be lost and probably the whole planet. The Columbia University students are doing what's right for the US and for the world.

If the national guard is sent to Columbia or any other University, the faculty must walk out, effectively closing the campus The Kent State Faculty Senate has had such a pledge in place since 1970.

Israel, America's strategic liability. Shutting down discussion of Genocide occurring right now.

I used to live in Czechoslovakia. My memories from 1968 are different. In August 21st all our country was suddenly occupied by Soviet Army. In only one day. Behind the Iron Curtain we did not have any way to find out if some Columbia students protested.

❤ Juan

The difference between before and now. No democracy! No freedom of expression! Not allowed to stand against injustice! So sad. 😢

Very cool Juan 😎

Its not just the young. I'm 60 and stand by these students. The story of 6 yr old Hind really broke me.

I love Democracy Now! Keeping the fire burning and shared

Juan WHAT A LEGEND

Wow what a historic moment.

If this happened in Taiwan or Hongkong, media will potray the government as a tyrant 😂

Juan Gonzalez you rooock!!!!!

That's a hard jacket she's wearing. What a G.

Wow man. The way you baby boomers light up when you talk about the '60's. It's heart warming.

Capitalism doin its thing, rinse repeat

Not all protestors will be antisemitic, among many their grandparents would have had the same reaction during ww2. In many ways this a " happening," and all should respect for others and make an effort to not become barriers to free speech.

Nothing has changed. History repeats itself. The University campus is a place for students and faculty to express their views and ideas without any interference from the government and the police. Shame, there is no academic freedom any longer. Do you remember the Vietnam war demonstrations? I wonder what the officials reaction would have been if the demonstrations were anti Palestinian. Israel government takes Palestinian land from the West Bank and builds settlements, how you would react if your neighbor takes a few square meters of your backyard and use it for himself?

The classic tale of people vs institutions. People vs power. And power is there to serve and idolize itself. Indeed the laws are made in theory to discipline power, but in practice, law is mage to discipline labor.

Let's talk in small groups.- Juan Gonzales

Righteous students, then and now! Thank you.

I’m 72 years old and I remember those days back in the 1960s. If there’s one thing we do learn from history, it’s that, we don’t learn from history! It’s not that history repeats itself, but rather, HISTORY RHYMES!!!!! Oh! I like Amy Goodman’s jacket! She looks bad ass!!!!!!! I love her!

Juan Gonzalez 🔥🔥

Wow, I never knew this about Juan. So much respect for him and all those who resisted.

Powerful thank you

Thank you Mr. González

Juan Gonzalez, you are my kind of HERO! Thankyou for your steadfast moral caompass!❤

Love you Juan ❤

He truly is numba Juan

Become involved and learn what it really means to truly live your life.

You are an inspiration Mr. Gonzalez! Young people will follow in your footsteps. Thank you for pointing out the lack of due process and democratic values in the way pro-peace students have been treated in 2014. I hope the government and the universities are held accountable

I was a senior in high in nyc and had several friends who were freshman there. He is so right. At that time, my news came on my FM radio WBAI and now now Democracy Now

Juan Gonzales is a person I deeply admire - knowledgeable, ethical and always asks the probing questions as a journalist. Amazing he was there then and is here to talk about it firsthand..I loved when he said that Shafik has very little time left as President of the university.i pray he’s right - that controlled puppet has to go

Good individuals MUST always stand up. We must NEVER be silent Free innocent Palestinians Stop the atrocities

As a CU Alumni ‘14, I support these student protest. I wonder what Lee Bollinger would do differently.

What a legend. Long live the resistance against any and all oppression

I see we are rhyming again.....

I am 61 years old and I am sure that young people do not let lies and injustice pass.

Juan, you're the bombdigidy 😊 keep going!

What a great clip

اللهُم كُن لأهل غزة عوناً ونصيراً يا رب العالمين. اللهم نستودعك أهالي غزّة وفلسطين فانصرهم واحفظهم بعينك التي لا تنام، واربط على قلوبهم وأمدهم بجُندك وأنزل عليهم سكينتك وسخر لهم الأرض ومن عليها. اللهم لا تخيب رجاءنا وأنت أرحم الراحمين اللهم بقوتك وبغوثك وبغيرتك على حرماتك وبحاميتك لمن احتمى بآياتك نسألك يا الله يا سميع يا قريب يا مجيب يا منتقم يا جبار يا قهار يا شديد البطش يا من لا يعجزه قهر الجبابرة ولا يعظم عليه هلاك المتمردين من الملوك والأكاسرة، أن ترد كيد المحتلين في نحرهم وتجعل مكرهم محيط بهم.

Me crying over Juans recording 😭😭😭🥹

Good job Juan!

The South Africa Anti-apartheid/Student Divestment camp-ins started by Columbia and UC Berkeley in April 1985 through 1986, are at least as important to the current debate as the 1960s. Our work then resulted in the divestment of billions from South Africa, and materially benefitted 20 million South Africans held in bondage in their own country. As an old Berkeley radical, I couldnt be more proud to see students in the US using the tactic of divestment as a tool to bring Israel to the peace table. SOLIDARITY!

Question: was this gentlemans name put on a list and his career destroyed by the government. An argument many are now using to threaten protesters.

History repeats itself, the oppressed voices have to be heard and these kids are the extension of the oppressed….Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Oh man, Juan, you take me right back. It was in your country and in parts of western Europe too. I lived in Washington DC, home in Canada and in Europe back then. It was effervescent. I was a couple of years too young to understand details in 1968, but I did start to get it around 1970 with the Kent State riots, and by 1972 I was reading Jack London's "The Iron Heel" and "Do It!" by Jerry Rubin LOL I had a few draft dodger friends here in Canada, who went home in 1975 at the amnesty, and continued fighting for civil rights. Most of my teachers had been part of the great movement and spoke about it to us. It was such an exuberant and confident period for us young people. Do you remember that famous photograph of the girl inserting a flower in the barrel of a National Guard's rifle? (not sure if it was the National Guard though... ROTC or army maybe?) A popular credo was "Never trust anyone over 30", but young people generally trusted other young people. Today's young people can do it too... stand up peacefully and speak out for the present and future they want, whether it be ending the genocide in Gaza, ending the control over our lives by huge greedy corporations, or forcing government to act on climate change reduction for them and for all future children.

The Columbia protest may be very important; the first big university anti-Vietnam war protests began at Columbia in 1968, a year before they began at Harvard and other universities like Berkeley. This could be the start of a bigger wave...

Amazing work!

Juan you are a legend sir ❤

And that "something" that has to change is that the USA has to move AWAY from Military Keynesianism (aka, socialism for the arms industry) and back to social Keynesianism (a 21st century new deal) for the sake of its people.

I was unfamiliar with your game, Juan Gonzalez. Much respect to you!

Do not fund these wars !!! Period

Juan is a national treasure.
