If we are to stand for free speech we must stand for all speech.

It's democracy until you say something that they don't agree with.

Student protesters were in the right with the Vietnam War protests, they were right with the apartheid protests, they are right NOW... No one is hating on Jewish people.. many many of the protesters are Jewish. Being against the horrific genocidal actions of the government of Israel dose not make one, anti-jew. It makes one a decent person.

[missyboyd-morris]

When criticism of Israel upsets people more than the genocide of 33, 000 Palestinian civilians being lost for words is an 'understatement!

[melissapollom]

This reminds me of the sit ins in 68! Wow

[caseysherrill]

they literally have nothing better to do.

[carmenvelez]

Thank you students, you lead the way. Genocide is evil.

the education for profit/work system needs to change

[yannip]

Since no one is taking any ACTION, but merely TALK endlessly ... the top universities are in ACTION - these are the future heroes of the country - instead of sitting ducks!

[Youneverknow]

Palestine people are not hamas..thats like saying cartel is all mexicans..or kkk is all americans

[no-orwelliandystopia]

Those students movement is making history, they won't give it up easily and any enforcement is going to make it worse

[vintagelady]

Ah, reminds me of the good old days when we were out protesting the Vietnam "War, " the invasion of Cambodia, the draft, sit-ins, etc.! Thank heavens the young people, with their energy & idealism, are getting involved. Thank heavens someone is on the side of the Palestinian PEOPLE (not Hamas) for the first time since Israel was created. Thank heavens for activism---GO college students!

[syashadeed]

What about the Jewish students protesting Israel. Jewish voices for Peace for example

[Sister]

Not fair to students, campus workers (and parents) who spend time and money to get an education.

[jacobedward]

Why are you interviewing random people? You should interview the students!

Oh that's right... they banned media from campus.

[techhawk]

Why don't we interview the vast majority of Jewish Students who are Organizing & leading these protests ?

[birdiemiller]

As, long as the student's are not disrupting, creating chaos, being violent, let them be.

[AustinIsTheGreatest]

wow letting people on the new talk about losing a tiktok war is nuts.

[JoshuaNance-mh]

Need to go to their countries and protest not do it in America... What a shame

Palestinians danced in the streets just after 9/11. No sympathy here.
