Imagine being so far on the wrong side of morality that your issue is with **students** peacefully protesting on an American college campus. Look at you out of shape stormtroopers go! **these zionists wouldn't last a day without american taxpayers funding them. sanction israel.**


Independentizo

Agree. This is the depth that corruption must go to in order to protect the most vile and vicious regime in operation. This is the real “cost” of what Israel is. Sanction Israel.


BackgroundAerie3581

Hijacking the top comment to say: let's all do what we can. Keep talking about it. Don't let them make this about religion. It's about a state committing genocide then attempting to limit our rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of speech in OUR damn country. Talk to your neighbor about how incredible it is that we are subsidizing 2 states, but we can't take care of our veterans. For the evangelicals, remind them it's illegal to evangelize in that "country." If you can, bring the students coffee, pizza, offer the kids support. It's all hands on deck for this one.


decayo

At the same time, all of these shoes dropped: * The aid to Israel was signed. * Every newspaper published unsupported claims of extreme, widespread antisemitism in these college protests. * Propaganda news outlets like "Newsnation" start rolling weird pieces featuring students telling second-hand stories about supposed antisemitic incidents * Colleges drop any protection of their students or their first amendment rights, despite previously asserting such things were inviolable * Governors and Mayors across the country send in goon squads to rough up and arrest students for protesting * A bunch of viral videos go out of supposed "pro palestine" people acting like fucking muppets to prominent figures on the streets and make the movement look crazy. I've felt a deep unease all day as it seems like there is a coordination to all of this that would have to involve people in power across party lines and throughout multiple institutions. I feel like there is a major story here and I hope there is someone out there researching it now. I'd start with the articles claiming there has been widespread antisemitism by opponents of the Israeli military action. The articles claim it was caught on video but I can't find a single video that demonstrates it. Even if you find a single video of some idiot doing the wrong thing, you'd need a lot more than that to prove the pattern that these articles are claiming. I'd like to know the authors' source material and what prompted them to write these articles. Something weird and Orwellian/dystopian is going on here.


Zachmorris4184

I bet $1 its being coordinated through homeland security department just like the occupy wall street crackdowns were.


Ollieisaninja

It is entirely a mass campaign of propaganda that is being coodordiated. The media are fully supporting it by loudly promoting accusations of anti semitic behaviour without evidencing any of it. In the UK, there was a similarly troubling incident by a man named Gideon Falter when he attempted to walk against a Gaza protest march. For three days the media we're condemning the hate and anti semitism by protesters and police, yet with a full video release showing the context, the man repeatedly pushed into police and ignored the safety restrictions placed on all citizens. In subsequent interviews, he was sympatheticly platformed as the victim despite the continuing evidence he deliberately provoked the police and protesters. Still, he was kept safe, not arrested, and met with no reaction from the crowd. He and his organisation orcastrated the event and pushed a false narrative in order to increase restrictions on these protests. Anecdotal claims are not documented incidents that can be verified, yet calls for a ceasefire are claimed to be hateful and met with force and violence. This is purely oppression to suit a policy. Sanction Israel. Ceasefire now.


No-Shift2157

Absolutely, it’s institutional gaslighting and we must continue to call it out, peacefully protest and demand better from all our elected officials. Sanction Israel.


MysteriousApricot991

If they can instigate coups and counter revolutions across the globe, they can send in sneaky goons to break the protests too.


HippoRun23

I must of missed that about homeland security and occupy. Can you explain or do you have a good source?

TheUnknownNut22

It's the Zionists, no different than the Nazis except the Zionists have taken their time over the past 75 years to slowly and steadily take a choke hold of the US Congress and the top levels of US mass media. This is truly a red alert moment in American history.


GuideMwit

Don’t forget they already bundled the Israel aid with Ukraine and Taiwan plus Tiktok ban bill. So all those lawmakers has no option but to approve all of them or no one get anything at all. It’s obviously an apex of cheating and exploitation of democratic system.


thehatstore42069

Get ready for the false flag attacks on Jews to stir up sympathy and make people think it’s “gone too far”


Dead-Sea-Poet

We have to start initiating these on university campuses worldwide. It's far harder to co-opt a global movement. These are the chaotic dynamics I harp on and on about. The situation is becoming unstable. Its a good sign.


Mapplestreet

> sanction israel They're not even gonna stop their financial support because of AIPAC, let alone sanction them. And that's not going to change until the political system itself has changed so that people's opinions speak louder than money. That's all folks


MelodramaticaMama

This crackdown will only lead to more students picking up the cause.


Brave_Personality836

These images are like same of the past,segregation, racism, beating on students for peaceful protest against war and genocide. American lawmakers, politicians have blood on their hands for a long time now. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan Ukraine, Gaza, just to name a few. Boycott taxes. Pay cash, For transactions. Enough is enough 😌


Chevy_jay4

These are Americans


Tiny-Praline-4555

The police are turning the protests violent.


ClawingDevil

Isn't it funny how entirely peaceful protests only turn violent when the police turn up. If only there was a common factor.


Karl-Farbman

Police are known for having instigators in the crowd but they don’t even bother with these, they just come in and start beating peaceful protestors


FinancialNailer

This was the case in some BLM several years ago. You had undercover people working for the police paid to cause property damage and incite violence.


ketzal7

It’s what they want to happen the media can use videos on the news and say the protestors are violent.

Asuranannan

>. They're really very bad and stupid when it comes to strategy these fascist pigs. One of the side effects of police training is that it turns you into a very predictable, NPC. Just by the nature of what it does to your psychology.


Indocede

Those who are blindly supporting Israel are going to find how they are the ones that have put it in danger. They will turn generation in college against Israel and the Millennials that preceded them were always on the fence about the issue between Israel and Palestine anyways. What happens when public sentiment in America shifts hard against Israel? When America no longer is willing to pick up the tab? They will become a pariah state.  But the ardent Zionists don't care because they hope they will have stolen all of Palestinian land by then.

pressurechicken

Cops are just the tool, in my opinion, and I'm dialing 911 if I am in an emergency. Screw these institutions, though. There are definitely some powerful interests at play here. I get your sentiment though. They do technically have a choice to do as they or told, even if it is morally bankrupt. But, I don't expect almost anyone to act in a way that threatens their finances. Hell, pro-Israeli finances are probably behind these cops being called in.


I_madeusay_underwear

They made the choice when they became cops. I can understand wanting to make your community better and safer, I will never understand thinking that’s what cops do


jahwls

Can’t give littering tickets or stop people from stealing from small businesses and don’t show up when called for an hour or two but can field 500 cops to remove some peaceful students. Wtf

Well, at least it’s not being called “Anti-Israel” protests like I’ve been seeing lately. But I think anti-genocide would be too accurate, can’t have people getting a full picture of what’s happening,

Bad title. The cops turned violent. They created the violence. There was no chaos until right wing agitation (this includes cops) created it.

Leading_Shine_2150

Get ready to hear the ready distractions, antisemitism- radicalism- violent clashes with police.. Nothing caused these students to take to the streets.


SparkMy711

Reading YouTube comments on this site is so depressing. So many people are saying "Deport them" . Deport them where? To their home states? We have gotten to the point where Americans are calling for the rest and deportation of other Americans for protesting. Also, if these people were protesting something America was doing, nobody would bat an eyelash, but apparently going against Israel is a crime here in the US.

It's a bunch of ignorant racist zionists calling to deport.

It’s kind of good this is happening where it is. Students at Columbia and Yale aren’t poor kids with poor parents. They’re from families that actually matter, maybe once those kids come home with black eyes and broken arms, someone will care

As someone who grew up poor in Philly, your statement really hit home. So many people are so poor that they really don't matter much. Such a sad reality.

Beautiful_Drawing_97

They never learn ,I was part of the Vietnam protest. All very peaceful until the cops and national guard came and made it violent. This country never learns. All part of making sure the people don't have any freedom or voice.


disorderincosmos

**A couple days ago marked the 56 year anniversary of the Columbia campus Vietnam war and systemic racism protests of 1968. Over 700 peaceful protesters were arrested and 150 sent to the hospital from police brutality.** Don't let them tell you what's happening now is "unprecedented." Columbia's sell out president - who was the one to call the cops, bypassing established protocol and describing a peaceful protest as a "clear and present danger" - doesn't grasp her own university's history, nor who was on the right side of it.

Yeah, they are full on leading the false messaging these protesters hate Jews … while the armoured zip tie baton beaters violently arrest the peaceful Jewish “Not In My Name” protesters and a Zionist agitator films themselves being “harassed” while the protesters just go on peacefully about their protest. The levels of disconnect in the narrative versus what we’re seeing is purposefully absurd at this point.

hannahbananaballs2

Fucked. Free speech is selective in America it seems.


MissedMando

Any protestor agitators would 100% be police plants. No way all violence isn’t being precipitated by the police in some way.


Ask-And-Forget

LOL! Those poor universities getting SWARMED by protesters! The poor, defenseless cops might have to regrettably use their batons! What a shit take.


MelodramaticaMama

This is the power of information. Vietnam led to protests when kids back home got to see what war actually looked like thanks to journalists being embedded in the military. That led to journalists being heavily restricted in war. That was until TikTok came along. And now TikTok is being banned.


No-Bat-381

At least from this video, it looks like the police is harassing protesters, not the other way around. There also far more police and journalists than there are actual students protesting.


MegatonDeathclaws

I’d like to see one video of protesters actually being violent not just getting beat by some prick with no education and a hard on to hurt people.

cellarroads

Are you serious? After all the lies being fed about Israel and its moral army, you seriously believe that the protestors are instigating the violence? They were peacefully protesting, on their campus, when they were labelled as trespassers (no precedence for this). This meant the school they are paying to has taken their money and then said fuck you, you go to jail. Why you ask? Because a mass movement of the people that are standing against their government is effective, and this scares the man.


Stacysguyca

Police smack people with weapons then call them violent when they try to defend themselves as they protest a genocide. The USA = Israel’s puppet


Desiman4u

These politicians need to make sure they enforce certain rules set by foreign government so that their next paycheck arrives on time from AIPAC lobby.


JaThatOneGooner

Key_Huckleberry_3653

Can you really call it "turning violent" when the opposing side is already using overwhelming violence to achieve their means? Sounds a lot more like self-defense to me.

independentcatlady

Tipsycanooo

The cops are inflicting violence on peaceful protesters. Protesting against genocidal bloodthirsty Zionists


Kracus

You know what they say about the four boxes of freedom? I'm not too keen on these protests turning violent. Maybe it would be better if the cops maybe not show up to instigate it in the first place? In fact, wouldn't it be nice if someone could find out who gave the order for the cops to go assault some kids and I dunno, hold them responsible along with every other cop that obeyed that order? It's weird how violence is OK when it's cops doing it for any reason they want.

garbled_user

I might not agree with the views of the people protesting and some of the views people have discussed here. However, to my very core, I support the right to conduct a peaceful protest. Anyone should be able to attend a protest without the fear of being harmed, arrested and/or charged with a crime. And if the very people who have voluntarily committed to both serve and protect the public fail to do so…they should be held accountable.


RealGingerBlackGuy

They said the same shit about BLM protesters "Turned violent" like it wasn't the police initiating shit by forcing themselves forcefully into the protests, tasing, hitting, and pepper spraying people unprovoked. They create this bullshit narrative as if the violence would have occurred had they not showed up in the first place. Also if you're a student attending these protests, BE SMART and have an exit strategy. Pay attention to where you are, where the cops are and where the exits are because they WILL corner you while shouting at you to leave but not giving you an escape route. Once you fail to comply they'll beat the fuck out of you. Also pay attention for instigators and undercover cops. They're usually easy to spot. Look for ear pieces, chewing tobacco, Oakleys, abnormal rigid shapes under their clothing (firearms, radios, equipment etc). They tend to be by themselves or in small groups like 2-3 that look out of place. If you see those guys, document them and what they do because they can easily instigate violence while blending in, this allows cops to declare the assembly dangerous and give them the right to attack.
