This is what happens when a foreign country buys out your representative 😂

Funny they didnt show the sign saying "Intifada"

[YoramAizenberg]

We don't have to worry about "free Palestine" We now have to worry about "free America".

WHAT ABOUT STUDENTS WHO PAY GOOD MONEY TO JUST LEARN?

[graphitepencil]

Never thought that those Universities would be so weak to take action. I mean, in my country if you're a student you should behave like a student. I guess America is in a mess 😂😂😂

That's not a peaceful protest why is this allowed? That's criminal charge

2pm deadline yesterday? Weak leadership equals weak results.

Students who are not protesting need to start suing the state because their education is being affected by this.

It's pretty simple... Show your ID. If you dont have one, you will be asked to leave or be arrested, your choice

This is what happens when you remove civics classes from high schools. Children aren't taught their obligations to society.

Pro-palestinans protesting an "illegal occupation" of one place by illegally occupying another. Oh the irony

The University should be hold responsible for that they had a multiply chance the ended. Sue

People in ski masks breaking things, these people definitely deserve to study in an Ivy league university

Treat them as Jan 6 protestors have been treated. These people are impeding federally funded education.

The governor should take over the school have lost control.

[spaceman]

Youtube wont let me post a negative comment on the protestors

[neoaksa]

I wouldn't imagine it would be a peaceful protest since who covers the whole face.

The problem with a lot of this i wonder is that you have outsiders who are not students who join the peaceful protest that are anti-Semitic and hurl threats and use language that is intimidating.

However, I could be wrong, and they are all students who don't know how to protest peacefully. But I get the occupying the building as those would be students that are not causing any harm to people that have access to the hall. I'd like to know what percentage of students are in the protest and if there is any documentation or proof of Antisemitism from actual students vs. citizens. Citizens cannot be held accountable, but students can and, therefore, the university is deemed liable. But you need solid proof of that hearsay isn't proof !

These children really have been trained to think they are important

[CrystalHotSauce]

Real footage of Sharia Law should be implemented in this matter. These kids have no idea what they are advocating for.
