History of student protests on U.S. college campuses

Some commentators have compared the campus protests over the war in Gaza to the anti-Vietnam war movement and other past protests. CBS News' Anne-Marie Green looks back at how some past students made their voices heard.

Students were right on Vietnam, Iraq, South Africa apartheid and now Gaza genocide
Right side of history and morality

I said this exact thing on a couple other channels... My sympathy is with the palestinian people in Palestine and the Israelis that were slaughtered.... But Palestinian people living in the US have to realize that Israel has been a long time Ally of the U.S And you can't go to another country and expect to change their policies My biggest question is why aren't palestinian people mad at hamas for poking the Bear And running behind them using them as Shields they knew what would come next.. And what would happen if Americans went to Palestine Waving American flags

If only those protesters cared as much for the U.S.A., (the country they came to, to get ahead) as they do for a foreign country?

Defying Intimidation: Student of UC Speaks Out Against Israeli Atrocities"
The interview
**Reporter:** Joanie
**Student:** Christopher

**Q:** Joanie: What has unfolded since you arrived on the scene?

**A:** Christopher: The campus police moved in just before 5 a.m., and the protesters have been holding the line for 2 hours. It was horrific; they waited until we were all asleep, then stormed in with riot gear, throwing wood planks and chairs, and threatening us with disciplinary action.

**Q:** Joanie: What did you do when the police arrived?

**A:** Christopher: I tried to make sure everyone was safe. It was chaos and terrifying.

**Q:** Joanie: Are you facing disciplinary action for being part of the protest?

**A:** Christopher: Yes, they're threatening us with an interim leave of absence and criminal trespass charges. But it doesn't matter; there are things that matter more than my academic future, like the lives of the children being murdered in Gaza.

**Q:** Joanie: What's happening at the line where the protesters are standing?

**A:** Christopher: They're trying to intimidate us, but we won't back down. Our commitment to Gaza runs deeper than our fears for our safety and careers.

**Q:** Joanie: Have you tried talking to the police officers?

**A:** Christopher: Yes, I've been asking them what it would take for them to stop following orders. How many kids have to die before they stop violently suppressing our movement and acknowledge the genocide?

**Q:** Joanie: Are you a student?

**A:** Christopher: Yes, I'm a PhD student. And if I face discipline, I don't care. The blood of the children being murdered in Gaza is on their hands, and I won't be silenced by their threats.

You left out one very important detail, this time they are getting paid to protest. If you doubt me just Google " how do i get paid to protest" it's mind boggling. Then there's the fact that if you redact the names of the countries from a world map. Most of these intellectuals couldn't point out the Gaza strip to you anyway . The protestors that actually are students are nothing more than gullible, manipulated and misinformed children. Although they are being used and acting foolish, we have to see them for what they are, children.
look at how much money is going to the universities from China, Russia, and many others . They don't give it away for nothing, they're dictating what your children are taught. Ands its not in good intentions for America.
