So proud that our youth are standing for humanity

[miftahkedir]

It is shame fir an educational institute standing with genociders.

[blingbling]

Cowards.
Keep fighting Students.
Even if they suspend you, stand your ground. Be united. They will have to revoke the suspension if there is Unity.

They Will!!! ✊

Huge respect and huge love for all these students. Who are fighting against inhumanity, injustice, immorality, dishonesty, cruelty & long term of oppression.

0:55 - 1:00 = "Where we asked for amnesty they gave us more discipline."
Tells you how out of touch the top brasses are.

Columbia University needs money, lots of it

[kennethhymes]

the arrogant dismissive commenters are so wrong. we have been fighting this battle, particularly on the east coast, for decades. The fact that the universities have continued to be invested in racist apartheid is not a comment on us, but on them. The escalation of authoritarian responses simply indicates that we are finally being heard.

This is why many are asking if university education is worth it. What's the point of learning from tyrants???

[IamSuperman]

Good, you need to be disciplined well for your cherry picking and selectively picks where there is attack on peacefuls and ignore when peacefuls do the same to others

[benonryan]

She's silly does she know the relationship between isreal and the university

[mr.doogle]

Columbia University and President will get lots of money for it

[zoo-xibbitjayne]

Punishment for moral rectitude, now the U Hess mask is torn away.

[michelmoreau]

[manuelwowchow]

Also No to Israel, then who do Columbia University going to invest in then?

[Bethiegraceful]

These students need to not go to these schools in the fall and not give them their money. The students have the power. It’s all about money 💰

[freddiecarr]

She is transferring to the University of Gaza in protest!
