At universities across the nation, the Israel-Hamas war is creating intense backlash for some students as they speak out. NBC News’ Jacob Ward is at UC Berkeley where a professor wrote an op-ed saying law firms shouldn’t hire students who promoted certain ideas about the conflict.

#Israel #HamasAttack #College
Wow – what an ignorant law professor and what ignorant law firms. There is nothing antisemitic about opposing Israel, apartheid and now genocide. Israel is using antisemitism as a shield for its crimes against humanity.
If a business or a law firm is owned by Jewish person(s) do you think they would hire you if you make anti Israel statements.?If the major clients of a business are Jewish do you think a company would risk insulting their clientele? Think!
Replace Jewish with Christian and your 100% right ✅️
I don’t understand why people keep calling pro-Palestinians as “antisemitic.” Do they even know that Palestinians are mostly Arabs? And do they know that Arabs are Semites? If pro-Palestinians are antisemitic, they would be hating the majority of Palestinians.
Again, the News and social media stirring the pot and inciting more hatred. Just unplug from this.
Now the exam results will also suffer the consequences…what if the lecturer is pro palestine or pro israel but the student is the opposite….who suffers?
Did the United States also participate in the war?
The irony of that professor
What? There is no “iROnY” AT ALL towards that Professor as he’s 100% valid and consistent entirely so!
Deport jihadists
I keep saying democracy is an illusion and people think I am nuts when I say this. Well current circumstances just proves it along with people losing rights of this that and the other. But I would beg the general public please be smarter then governments to prove and help come up with ways to make peace not further fuel the fire. What good is education and intelligence if you can’t apply it to real life situations.
Dont worry….Apartheid and Illegal Occupation is a fact. Apply in Canada or anywhere in the world. Israel justifies its murders
pushing a button to send a missile into a densely populated area of civilians is not “Brutal” at all~ When it’s the “Good guys”, “They have the RIGHT to defend themselves”… right?
You live, you lose…👍😂
I agree with not hiring those types of people! Even in the medical field I wouldn’t want someone like that. There already is abuse going on in places like nuring homes. We don’t need more people contributing with their buried hatred.
They’ll see your religion isn’t Islam and will refuse to serve you or worst will intentionally botch it.
Hitler loved people like you.
Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by several countries and international organizations, including the United States, Israel, the European Union, and others. However, opinions on this designation may vary, and some countries do not classify it as a terrorist organization.
Other state sponsored terrorist countries like Iran and North Korea would regard them as heroes
The countries that DON’T classify Hamas as a terrorist group are in the wrong and their advocating evil as Hamas are trying to actively slaughter innocent people and kidnapping people. There is no “both sides” to this AT ALL, this shouldn’t be up for debate.
Bunch College Bragg’s. Pathetic 🤦. This ain’t no free speech because Hamas cares for no human life. You cannot justify anything by murdering Civilians the way hamas did. Why have they migrated to the USA in the first place if they ain’t happy with US Policies. Go back to Lebanon grab a rifle and hit the battlefield and fight with Hamas. They will eventually be all wiped out.
We want to be fair to both groups.
We hate both groups equally !
😂😂😂😂😂
Why would a Muslim or Palestine support oppression of their grandparents for the privilege to work with friends of Israel that doesn’t acknowledge their suffering?
Nobody can defend Israel when their families are being terrorised by Israeli Government and sanctioned by US Government too further they will not lose respect for the cowards professor and companies who preach justice and human rights then use Western double standard and hypocrisy to exclude them
Plus, gentlemen and ladies US students debt itself is a humanitarian crisis for the youth in America and working as a temporary clerk on minimum wage to defend war criminals in Israel or America is not consequence or punishment it’s a relief not to fear who they are Muslim or Jewish people are not happy with US expensive education and punishment for tweets about the any issue out of fear of losing a job or opportunity is not much of consequence plus nobody is excited to accept such unfair conditions
New York law firms that withdraw offer for criticism of Israel are just Zionist KKK pretending to lawyers to oppress their enemies or deter others even Jewish students can be in the same place if they don’t like what their Israel Government is doing in their name
Supporting Israel in this justice and Holy War or theirs
Free speech has consequences. Especially hate speech.
Speech with consequences isn’t really free speech tho?
The concept of so called “hate speech” is completely antithetical to free speech. You support repressive, tyrannical societies I guess.
Open your own law firms.
The students support terror. They are so confused.
Send these students to Gaza
Good, name em and shame em since they wanna support terrorism 😂
Here’s the problem though. If you’re fine with the line of argument that says defense or deflection of Hamas’ attack is same as pro-terrorism, then you should also agree that defense of Israel’s attacks on residents is same as being pro-genocide and pro-apartheid. If you avoid the nuances, and just apply that direct train of thought, then apply it both ways, don’t just stop at one because you hate one.
you know better it doesn’t work the same way.
@edlimajr.1740 expand on that. I’m addressing the blanket statement by pro-Israel people that say that any support of Palestine is support of terrorism or anti-semitism. If that blanket statement is acceptable, then why not one that says support for Israel is support for genocide, pro-apartheid, Islamophobic and xenophobia towards Arabs. This (blanket statements and generalizations) is what happens when you don’t make nuanced arguments, you can’t try to invalidate one blanket statement and run with the other, unless of course you are a hypocrite or have ties to one country and/or hate one of the players (Israelis, Palestinians, Arabs, Jews, Muslims, etc…) in this conflict.
The crimes of the colonizer, and the colonized are far from the same. Israel is blatantly committing genocide.
NBC keep up the great work in division and propaganda. Your hatred towards democracy shows day after day.
Go back your own homeland to enjoy your type of democracy .
Thanks for lying to Americans every day. Enjoy your creation
Hahha the future of USA is in danger.
The long arm of hamas, hezbollah and Islamic jihad backed and funded by Iran an Quatar. Dangerous but the woke fascism is all ready going on for years. Brainwashed morons influenced by russian and Chinese trolls. With the purpose of disrupting our Western democracies and freedom. These are good old Trotsky and Lenin tricks. The fascist communist horrors also began at Parisian and German universities and in the intellectual circuits. This is very dangerous and has to stop. I will say to these protesters. Immigrate to russia and China, Iran or North Korea. They will receive you with all the warmth in their autocratic hearts. And leave us alone in our free Western democratic societies with our free economic systems. Please go ASAP!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✡️🕎☮️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🔥Super cool vid and TY for breaking it down. I’m favoured, $15,000 weekly trade earnings even in this current economic downturn. So excited
OK, thanks🙏
After accumulating $18k in a week with Regina Jossie, my passion in trading business was revived. if I can put in more work and resources, I see trading as a way to overcome poverty
I am constantly amazed by the amount of profit I’ve made over the last couple weeks trading with Regina Jossie. I have earned a lot.
Regina Jossie has brought me out of wrenches and to be a better living through trading options I encourage newbies to trade with her
Regina Jossie has brought me out of wretched, I invested as little as 2,833$ and my profits are 6,840$/week
Hahahah. 🤣😂🤣😂
Criticism of the Israeli government and the years of oppression and killing of Palestinian civilians is not the same as antisemitism. I’m sure a good lawyer can see right through that argument. It is simply not true. Just like feeling sorry for the loss of Israeli lives from Hamas’ attack and for the loss of Palestinian lives from Israeli military are not mutually exclusive. Hamas doesn’t represent all Palestinians and thr Israeli government does not represent all Jews. Intimidating people to fear for their jobs and livelihoods simply for pointing this out will just fuel more hatred towards the jewish community. Please stop this campaign of intimidation. Companies have a right to refuse employment, but its not fair for students and professors to dox students or create lists of students they dont want companies to hire. It’s just plain discrimination and harassment. This is the US, we protect our 1st amendment here.
Kudos for writing out an argument and not simply an assertion, nice job pointing out two things that are not mutually exclusive to counter the reality show culture we have in America. Wait, can I also reserve judgement until later when more evidence is clear regarding what Israel is doing to mitigate civilian deaths, no I must chose now right. (sarcasm) I am wondering currently how Israel can justify bombing the road at the access point to Egypt and turning off electricity/water (for the most part) if they have a duty as the occupying country and it is not a direct attack on Hamas?
So proud of these young kids, raising their voices against this genocide!
56 ISLAMIC COUNTRIES HAVE NEVER HELP PALESTINE, NEVER
(TODO LO DEMAS ES PROPAGANDA)
If you support Palestine you support terrorists
Blame Israel for anti-sematic .
FUN FACT: Israel is an APARTHEID COUNTRY and Apartheid countries NEVER have peace until ALL citizens have EQUAL RIGHTS PERIOD! (Study your history )
The ONLY solution is ONE STATE FOR ALL PEOPLE. Like literally EVERY OTHER COUNTRY ON EARTH!
FACT THAT IS NOT FUN: Palestine voted for a government who says “Israel with exist until Islam will obliterate it” and “we must fight the Jews and slaughter them all”. Source: HAMAS covenant (literally the founding documents of HAMAS themselves)
These students are not supporting Hamas, they are against what’s happening against Palestinians in Gaza, a lot of children are dying there and hospitals need medical support, Israel are not allowing the humanitarian aid to enter, that’s why people are protesting.
then go back to your Chaotic Country.
I would NEVER hire these baby killers. Hamas supporters need not apply.
Every pro-Israel will blame Hamas for Targeting, airstrikes and bombing churches, mosques, schools, residential and business buildings, airstrikes and bombings the hospitals in Gaza. Many churches were targeted by airstikes and killed hundreds of Christians in Gaza. The Christian church leaders in Gaza said in an inteview that they were targeted!
Why they didn’t go to gaza and shield hamas terrorist instead
T H E S E P E O P L E D O N ‘ T E V E N K N O W W H E R E I S R A E L I S 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🇺🇸 I completely agree with this Professor!!! 🇺🇸
That professor is as anti-American and anti-Western civilization as it gets.
It is apartheid. You can’t keep hiding behind the anti-semitic narrative when Jewish people themselves are calling it out.
Welcome to the workforce young buck, keep your social life and political opinions to yourself and you’ll be okay. We’ve all been there.
This is hilarious, people on the right have been cancelled, numerous careers flushed down the toilet for “free speech” So now, because it affecting the left, its a major ordeal
Right……
This chat log is as dumb as Fox News. Congratulations, you have found common cause. All hail the uni-party.
The Israeli government needs to be held accountable for their war crimes against the innocent Palestinian people, and for crimes of genocide, collective punishment, and apparthied. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
No
This is the war . Stop play moral game , you want people believe you have a good heart? No you don’t have one
How many of these law firms side with corporations doing evil things…as if they care about one cause over another…it’s just a way to make sure they’re not going to hire someone who cares about social justice causes or who goes against the manufactured mainstream opinion
Good point.
Lol so many college students are such liberal dopes. How embarrassing
They love using any conflict to divide and separate the masses.
Republicans fault fund ukraine and Israel
All of these students are the first to jump to their freedom of speech- writing, saying whatever they want. But not one of them took the step to fight for their right. They let others do that for them. To support a group that killed innocent people and then to hide behind the freedom of speech is cowardly.
They’re two faced, I’ve noticed. Smile and pretend they’re nice, but have a knife in the back .. backstabbers
You just described israel as well dummy. Especially how zion jews equate anti zionism as anti Semitic. Meaning anyone who thinks israel shouldn’t exist as it does today is anti Semitic (which is every other country aside from the west). L
@Da VinxiMost Gen Z Hamas supporters are like this. Very disillusioned.
why especially not African Americans?
You can go somewhere else to enjoy the freedom of speech
You support the kidnapping of Americans
A good reason to be opposed to student loan forgiveness. They’re suppose to be getting an education that applies to a job career, but instead they are more interested in becoming an activist for whatever cause.
Some 43.5 million people in the USA have taken out student loans and YOU want to punish ALL of them because there are maybe 50,000 idiots in a two dozen colleges? Did every student, including many who are now in the Republican Party but were in school during Vietnam deserve to be punished because a few thousand protested back then? If you wish to punish the guilty, fine, but don’t punish those who are on your own side.
Message to Palestinians…. Release ALL hostages, turn over hamas leadership to Israel. No ceasefire, no negotiation, no concessions
I am so happy and thankful that I am completely out of college 🎓 and university. I graduated from university back in May 2019. And I personally do not have any plans to go back to college or university.
I guess that also means any law firms who don’t like Trump or Maga supporters can now do the same… 😏
Some have, some have not. It depends on where their income comes from. Even some who accepted Trump supporters are now in trouble with the legal system – ask the attorneys who are getting convicted to election crimes. Some who oppose Trump also have faced consequences. Every adult makes choices in life and every real adult has to accept the consequences of their speech & action choices. Its called reality.
God bless Israel🇮🇱. There will always be those that hate Jews
it’s a simple side to take. one side systematically kills civilians, including beheading of babies and bombing their own hospital, while the other just wants to exist in peace.
“Free speech doesnt mean there are no consequences”
Bahahahahah😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Gadget-Walkmen then it’s not “free” then Mr. Genius
@Gadget-Walkmen losing your job over what you say is beginning of tyranny aka communism. Just wait and see, it shall come to pass.
@The Traveler lol just stop talking, it’s “freedom of speech” not everything about it is “fReE” AT ALL, freedom of speech does NOT a mean freedom from consequences. Stop with the terrible sarcasm with this “mR.gEnIuS” nonsense as you obviously can’t do whatever you want in a “free country”, that’s just obvious. Grow up.
@Gadget-Walkmen i fled a communist country (of which you are probably clueless about)to come to America 🇺🇸. Now…well now America is the new communist.
@The Traveler LOL I’m more than certain I know of said country if you said it but I still don’t know anything about you at all. And America will NEVER be a “communist” country in ANY way so just stop with that, seriously.
Wait, didn’t they all save the world with their pronouns?
That’s Democracy
Yes ,Hitler felt the same way .
Why do they keep calling it Israel-Hamas war? It’s basically just Israel bombing Palestinians. That’s why students are protesting, they’re not saying FREE HAMAS
Getting it right ..Because they got it wrong…
Wouldn’t the world be a better place if people would not believe in any ideology?
So – We can figure out how our C1A – FB1 and State Dept have become so corrupt and incompetent – The USG Alumni attended a university in America during the last 10-15 years, or so. Radical Democrats is the end product.
Sounds like the lawyer system in the US has been infiltrated by Pro-Apartied beliefs against Muslims…
“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars… ”
(Matthew 24:6).
“for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword” (Matthew 26:52).
Free speech is simply a lie.
It’s funny watching people with 50 to 250k “educations” set themselves up to be full time baristas due to their ignorant stance on politically charged issues.
Free, Free, Free, Free, Free, Free, Free, Free Russia
You want to wrk in manhattan and want opposed Israel that’s a bad idea! They own most of ny!
Finding out what it is like to be an adult! LOL!
Please, don’t hire them I don’t them more idiotic Gen Z as coworkers.
Right…the Left does worse to Conservative speakers and speach. This is why no one follows this biased media outlet. Why did you not “add context ?” Lol
Be a student .. dont b a cancer to the country….. If the student talking about free speach … they have to learn to accept the consequence … if they think they have the rite to do what is rite .. other people also have the rite to do what they think they are rite… so students don bla..bla..bla…
I am German. Germans murdered more than 6.000.000 Jews. It began with verbal hate against Jews. This is what happens at your US campusses RIGHT NOW. In Germany it continued with discriminating, hunting, hurting and then murdering Jews. If you do not stop this, presidents of US universities, you will be responsible for the beginning and for the progression of an ominous causal chain.
It’s so hush hush , can’t even mention the oppressed in class outloud cus the oppressor followers will just go fanatical
If the former President of the United States can do it, why can’t student this is America, correct. freedom of speech, rather it offend, someone who doesn’t as long as you’re not being violent or making threats
Dear American corporations
Please stop hiring supporters of Palestine/Hamas/Hezbollah
protests are the biggest waste of time
If your not supporting Israel you could be called a terrorists why because your siding with Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran that’s why if ya support terrorism move out go to Iran this is liberalisms agenda why because liberals are antichrist and have an antichrist agenda
I don’t bow down to Zionists.. I must be anti semite
Judaism is your enemy America!
Deport these unruly Hamas’ supporters. They might be violating their visa provisions. They are damgerous and maybe spying in your country.
Yes israelis and zion jews weaponizing and justifying anti-zionism as anti semtiism.
If we look at Arab history, it can be understood why and how terrorism is ingrained in the genes of Palestinians and their way of life. They are dying, their lives are being ruined, but they still cannot think of any other way than terrorism. To the people they kidnapped without distinguishing between children, women and the elderly; Those who hit with sticks and fists along the road in Gaza are those devils who are crying these days. Therefore, pitying and supporting devils is an inhumane attitude. As a Turk, I wish that; May God be with the people of Israel.
Palestinians are SEMITE ! You can not be ANTI SEMITE for standing against a genocide or murder of 4000+ Innocent people!!! Two wrongs don’t make one right.
Can you say leftist/communist indoctrination camps ? Weak minded sheep easily brainwashed !
