"Until their demands are met" ???? College kids surviving off their parents, or grants aren't in a position to make demands for anything...

Young Democrats doing what Democrats do.

[eddiekulp]

Let all these students protest and not go to classes . Fail them, dont graduate

[stormraven]

First people's park, now this bs?.

[flightographist]

Let them live in the street. Build a fence around them and charge a fee for school children to come see, feed and pet them, petting zoos are a positive influence on developing youth.

Same tents. Paid protesters. No pride. Stop paying them and they will go away. Hi yo Palestine they need the help!

[badlander]

These kids would be killed in Gaza for their beliefs. I wonder if they even realize that.

[jack-cije]

Literally what does this have to do with us. We’re just trying to get a damn degree. If u wanna protest go to the Middle East.

[mof]

Berkeley should double their investments just to troll these “protesters”😂

[CatsFat]

LOL, not a true believer if she doesn't want to show her face.

So, who’s looking out for the jew students who are being intimidated? No safe space for them?

[cesarmarroquin]

I bet a lot of the people camping have rich parents who don’t even know they’re doing this BS.

[jsacodes]

Who is paying for these tents? Who is funding these protestors? That information is relevant, is it not?

[drewbryant]

So they are protesting a foreign war (in a country they will probably never go), but they are not protesting how dangerous Berkeley has gotten.

[AndyyEnkawl]

It's amazing to see students are standing for humanity

[nouridris]

God bless those brave young students ❤

Enough of this nonsense, they need to let students know that this divisive/racist stuff is unacceptable. They need to clear them out and if they resist the students should get a 2 week suspension, those who aren't students should be charged/fined for trespassing on campus and for interfering. Students who do this a second time should be expelled from the university, period. If the UC president can't make some realistic plan to end this disruptive chaos the regents should fire them and find someone who can.

[superrunnerx]

These people clearly dont like the school and the country they are in.
So why dont they just pack their stuff and leave for good. Go to china, or even better go to palestine. Stay over there.

So proud of you students! Let your voices ring out! This is YOUR Vietnam. Let's live with our neighbors and NOT with the guilt of our poor decisions. Let's fund Americans again, not foreign wars💪

Equal treatment under the Bill of Rights - anything else is un-American. All power to you young and bright students! Thank you for standing up for humanity, justice and equality for Palestinians 🇵🇸 Free speech! Free Gaza, No place should have genocide.
When people start talking about 2000 years ago, you know they have no interest in today's truth.
