  1. Get rid of these academic institutions of hate

  2. We do not need these traitors

  3. What's most worrying is that these supposedly highly intelligent people are totally ignorant of the issue they're protesting against and are just joining in the herd because it makes them feel so edgy and activists. What they're protesting for is basically the elimination of the state of Israel and the rejection of the Jewish people for self determination and the cancellation UN resolutions that determine Israel's right to exist.

  4. Are they really justifying the murder of innocent people by asking Israel to stop oppressing Gaza? Is that really antisemitism? I could just be a dumb “goyim” but I don’t think so.

  5. Draft college girls immediately . 😅

  6. For college students there not to bright

  7. That right you can say anything, because American free speech but don’t expect the company they’re HIRE you 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  8. Anyone supporting Israel is supporting Nazism. I personally will not hire anyone who supports Israel.

  9. “If you want to know who controls you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize.”

    — Voltaire

  10. This is USA who does not like the free speech, should leave!

  11. No mercy on them for supporting Hamas the terrorist.

  12. It’s not actually free speech if there are consequences…these are the people in the education system that want their voice only to be heard…frightening

  13. The Global Terrorism Database shows that worldwide between January and October 2023 there have been
    2995 terrorist attacks with 27,866 deaths and 51,902 injured.
    The terrorist groups responsible are Islamic State, al-Qaeda, al-Shabaab, Boko Haram, Allied Democratic Forces, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, Balochistan Liberation Army, Jamaat Nusrat Al-Islam wal Muslimeen, Haqqani Network.This doesnt include recent Hamas attacks

  14. ALL Nations should meet half way in Bethlehem, and while maintaining individual sovereignties, declare a union, or a rebirthing, between God's children…

    From there we can ALL SHARE Praise and Worship at the Temple Mount as "ONE" of Father Abrahams "MANY" Sons, ALL TOGETHER!

    We must end this sibling rivalry now! God Loves ALL of His Children, Jews and Gentiles alike!
    "GOD SO LOVED the WORLD"

    Let All Nations Come Together as "ONE FAMILY" to Praise and Worship Our "ONE TRUE GOD w/MANY Names & Faces, in ALL of our "MANY" ways! It can be the most beautiful thing humanity has ever done! 🌍✌💛

  15. It's a shame that Palestinians allowed Hamas to govern them. The Western world needs to read the Iranian constitution and the charters under which Hamas and Hezbola were formed. Paying particular attention to how the Doctrine Mahdi is integrated into their formation. May Allah save their sorry souls.

  16. So innocent people only exist on the other side of Gaza? Nice try, boomer. These tactics of intimidation only strengthen the resolve of those you believe in freedom for all. NBC, keep promoting intimidation, activists need the motivation.

  17. How could people who do not understand the significance of free speech be teaching law??????

  18. I don't understand the 'you can have free speech but there will be consequences' as a blanket argument. To chose a different example that we can all agree on, when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, of course she faced consequences. But that doesn't mean she was wrong to take a stance against racism. Or that the consequences were justified. History is full of establishment people creating unfair consequences because they want to protect some kind of status quo. To have a vibrant civil society, students need to learn to think independently without fear.and society needs to create a safe space for them to do so. You may well believe they are wrong; in that case engage them in open conversation but dont stoop to threatening or steam rolling. You are doing everyone a disservice then.

  19. There’s never justification for rejoicing over evil. It's sad that the younger people are doing this. Hate for one another on both side will only lead to more devastation. I'm surprised law students were doing this.

  20. Is that the best way to win young hearts and minds? Threaten their livelihoods? Professors trying to scare their own students from thinking independently? Why not engage them in discussions instead?

  21. United States constitution and FIRST Amendment take a back seat when talking about Israel war crimes!

  22. Well right now Israel's doing all the bombing and a lot of thousands of children are dying Gaza so why don't we just call it even since they already got five times the exchange rate for every Israeli that died. There's five times dead Palestinian

  23. most oif them are just nerds tryiong to be hip by pretending to be radicals and activists when in truth they are just puppets being used by corrupt forces

  24. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. These "'kids"" are ADULTS. They need to learn to understand that disgusting, uninformed acts are not cool and they come with dire consequences. Welcome to adulting.

  25. Muslims occupy Lebanon, Constantinople 
    and the Hagia Sophia, Syria, Judah, Manasseh,
    Benjamin and Ephraim, Libya, Media, Lydia, Elam,
    Persis, Egypt, Morrison, Algeria, Arabia and…………….>
    Islam did not exist before 600 C.E.

  26. FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

  27. The United States on Wednesday vetoed a UN Security Council resolution calling for a “humanitarian pause” in the raging Israel-Hamas war!!!!

  28. Let the kids get all whipped up. It is part of being young and all of this will be out of their systems by 25. Let em go. They are finding their voice.

  29. Humanity ended when baby's were decapitated, and children set ablaze.

  30. Let me bet the proffesor is Jewish? Funny how he teaches law but doesn't call out Israel for stealing land and breaking international law.

  31. These people cry White Privilege, White Supremacy. And look and listen to the racist Democrats blame the Jews!

  32. Although I understand where pro Palestinians are coming from, and agree with some of their arguments, I still don't feel sorry for any of them for being rejected by employers, they did the same thing to people who supported Trump.
