Why did our grandparents fight and win ww2 again?

America first!!! Our money should be spent on our country and the American people’s needs!

The question that needs to be asked of Administrators is "Why are you running interference for the Genocide"? The other question is "Why do you never listen to Students?" This happened around the Struggle against Apartheid in S. Africa, and the Administrators adopted the same "collaborationist actions". These people need to be replaced by people who understand the mission of Academia. They're making a mockery of it.

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

[sarahann]

Our pathetic owned politicians giving all our tax money for war we are over it! All while Americans and our infrastructure continue to suffer .

[manderson]

Oh no one of the donors is upset! What if he pulls his funding and then there is no more college? How will our society go on if all the rich people do the same thing?

[Jorr]

How many of these protesters are actual students going to these universities.

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

Enough is enough, Gaza and Israel is not US

Remember the anti war protests against the war in Vietnam? They grew in size and had a tremendous impact on helping to end that pointless war. Kudos to all those speaking out and protesting the genocide of the people in Gaza.

There is hope after all. Protesting against genocide is pro-humanity. I am proud of these young people.

None of this was a problem 4 years ago. You get what you vote for

to quote the Great Maha.Rushie..." what you have here is a bunch of young skulls full of mush".

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.

The government of Israel is a democratic government therefore can and should be criticized and be accountable for their actions, just like any other democratic government. This has nothing to do with religion, race, nationality or culture therefore not antisemitism. Is call equality!!!

not 1 person nationwide hurt or there would be a 2 hour special on every TV station

Thanks to the students for being on right side of history and humanity. 👏 It’s your future and your world. Not of zombie old man whose time has gone but is latching on to power.

Billionaires yank their funding of privatized higher education to dictate the political outcomes and perspectives of institutions that should determine outcomes/perspectives not by what certain billionaires think, but by rigorous debate and scholarly investigation. No point of view should be banned or stigmatized. That is antithetical to education. Rather, every point of view should be ruthlessly interrogated. The advocates of every point of view must defend their position with facts and data and should be repudiated if they cannot. But billionaires who are too intellectually feeble to argue their position instead leverage their wealth and power to squelch debate and thinking. Any institution addicted to profit, power and wealth is unable to challenge power and therefore cannot be an educational institution governed by the pursuit of knowledge and truth.

Funny how safe spaces have become unsafe spaces.
