🇵🇸❤️
Why are these people fighting for palestine and not for iran, afganistan, irak, china, half of africa, venezuela, chile, north korea… ?
Unless… ofcourse… theres an agenda, against the jewish people and the united states the leader of the free world
Prisoner 7089❤❤❤
75%of Palestine’s voted for Hamas and now 89% Palestines support terrorists attacks …,Palestines and Hamas are one in the same !!!!!! Both are incredibility dangers, that is way no muslim country want to allow Palestine’s into their country … they know what will happen
They can’t even debate regarding this matter. 🤔
At least pretend to respect the others. Expressing your feelings will not resolve this conflict.
These people living in this country need to worry about THIS country.
Why? People
Have family and friends in those countries.
Sorry Jewish girls, if you don’t like people saying “from the river to the sea”, that’s *your* problem.
Their right to free speech supercedes your hurt feelings.
It’s a slogan used by Hamas with the context of eradicating all of the Jews, not just Israelis, in Israel.
It must be difficult living with such a low capacity for empathy. I feel for you.
You fool. It’s a phrase used by Hamas
Pretty dumb thing to say
Look what Hamas has done!! And what’s worse is our schools let it happen!!! So disappointing 😢
That doesn’t make any sense.
look at what islam has done, 2 billion islamists and only 4 science nobel winners. While jews with only 15.2 million world wide have at least 214 winners.
War Is Dumb
Elitist Universities do not teach critical thought in Good Faith, no, they Indoctrinate.
Shameful, really.
When are these people Americans ?
Very informative video. Those students don’t appear to have learned much, except how to hate each other.
Several Ministers in the LIKUD Coalition Government under Netanyahu have said, in so many words, “from the river to the sea” when they claim a minor Hebrew deity gave them Samaria and Judea, which is the WEST BANK, which SETTLER JEWS have illegally invaded over time, built their homes and villages, even murdered Arab villagers living there, etc. The UN says it is NOT ISRAELI LAND according to international law, so, in fact, the Orthodox Jewish invaders are the ones who believe all the land is theirs. Let’s get the facts straight. So, BOTH SIDES have used that stupid slogan. BOTH Likud and Hamas are “terrorist organizations” that have committed vicious, cruel genocide, horrendous acts of terrorism, and countless murders of innocents, and massive destruction of homes and infrastructure. ATROCITIES all over. BOTH governments are racist, dysfunctional cesspools of nasty warmongers.
How come so many college students want to free Palestine but never mention anything about freeing the American hostages?
Jews have the money. Watch the pro P side lose access REAL quick.
Arabs have oil money. Qatar is the richest country by gdp alone and the leaders of Hamas are billionaires living there while the ppl fight for them.
Back in 1980 when Iranian hostage crisis hit, the college Iranian students went into hiding scared that Americans would throw throw them off the k. River bridge. Now these students act differently and students are whimps
if her parents were forced out of their homes in 1948… it was the arabs ( egypt, lebanon, syria, iraq,jordan, etc) who forced them out because they are going to simultaneously attack israel.
they were planning to get them back after they annihilate israel , but the arabs lose! she should learn from history
Israel themself are the ones of racism.
The Jewish students in this story are very stupid and ignorant.
FREEDOM! SAY WHAT YOU WANT- YOUR PERSONAL GRIPE IRRELEVANT.
I don’t understand the African American students deciphering of the from the river to the sea slogan. It doesn’t say Palestine and Israel will be free, it says Palestine will be free. That slogan has absolutely nothing to do with Jews being free and peace on both sides. It’s literally saying that Palestinians will take the lands from the Jordan River all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. That is the entire state of Israel. I don’t see how anybody else can decipher these 10 words in any other way. If they can then they’re doing some serious word gymnastics and probably don’t live based in reality.
The Israelisi already are free from the “river to the sea.” You complaint sounds like people saying “all lives matter” in response to “black lives matter.” The Israelis already are free. The slogan doesn’t “Israeli’s won’t be free” just as “black lives matter” does not say that “white lives don’t matter.”
@@TheZzpop 20 %of israelis are free palestinians
Why are the black people speaking? They aren’t Palestinian or Jewish.
Everything Israel has said turned out to be true. Hamas supporters lying about the tunnels, killing of hostages, human shields, rockets in schools, mosques and schools.
Sigh 😔 this was a Christian country. Only 200 years on and we’re here fighting the endless battle of the Muslims and Jews. 😢
Both Jews and Muslims have contributed to the history of America, I know which story I prefer
Just curious… which one?
The ones who have made countless contributions to the betterment of society not the ones who near as I can recollect only brought us TSA
Why can’t they just appreciate the fact they have access to education in a first world country with the best freedoms for woman on this planet and just get along?
They also have access to huge mansions and yachts too. If «all men are equal» in the US, education should be free
What does that have to do with anything? Students are being harassed on campuses. This is a big problem.
@@MrDandaman2000 Yes its very strange, I don’t know why anyone would be getting harassed. (Unless they are explicitly supporting the colonizer? 🤔)
Pathetic news reporting. 75 years of genocide and she starts off with the fake narrative, pro genocide sick zionist news. Rachel Corrie an American was murdered By IDF, no cowards in western media ever told her story.
Other people have appropriated the phrase.
Colleges in America were they are car would be called near a total loss. All professors that are at least over 40 knows that an institution of higher education knows beyond doubt for it be effective and educational there must be a free and without fear EXCHANGE of ideas. Some professors simply trashed that truth for selfish gentle brainwashing to sway their students towards their personal political preferences and they know they are doing it others are outright afraid of the students as the students have decided they are the equivalent of a power union and they will tell the Professors what to do .That group of spoiled brats also driven by selfishness and tantrums can have a Professor He or She so frustrated and sick of that the Professor will eventually cave. Those students have also deprived themselves of a valuable education and many times destroy the free exchange of ideas with threats of or possibly literal violence.In they have shot themselves in thier educational foot and consequently destroyed their own education. As far as the Israeli, Palestinian rage at many colleges appears to be a can of worms that probably can not be shut and should have never been opened at college in the first place, but of these kids have been lied to from 1st grade through senior in college, and the so called educators, deceivers accomplished what they wanted in that feelings are deity and their main purpose in life is to be a social justice warrior. Then they dumb them down on purpose again to worship feelings, strip them from the desire to achieve, like just show up to class and everybody gets a participation trophy.The reason? To make believe the ultimate purpose in life is to be a sensitive and fair and social justice minded cooperative little citizens of the global village.Kids in Texanese you done been played
What’s happening to Israel is what the US went through when the perception of American Indians changed from savages (terrorists) to today’s glorified victims of genocide. The Gazans may be undergoing the same transformation in spite of their violent Oct 7 attack.
That slogan was first used by the jews..look it up
🇮🇱✡️🇮🇱✡️🇮🇱✡️🇮🇱✡️🇮🇱
I’m sick and tired of these idiots at these colleges it’s ridiculous and disgusting. Why are they blaming Jews for this do these students realize thst Hamas started this The Jews were sleeping in their beds and these animals came in and killed children in front of the parents and Visa Versa These students have no idea what’s really going on
The things I heard that those barbarism’s did made my stomach turn
Wait til you hear what Israel has been doing since 1948😂😂🤣🤣
Maybe you have selective hearing syndrome.
All should boycott the NBC which is jihadi mouth piece
I’m sorry but weren’t they free? Didn’t Israel completely pull away from Gaza. To the point of building a wall between them. Israel was completely closed off to Gaza. What do you mean that you were not free.
As former 🇬🇧 Prime Minister David Cameron (BTW, a Conservative) put it, Gaza is the world’s largest open prison after the decades long blockade imposed by Israel and western govts against Hamas after it was elected in 2005.
Israel didn’t occupy Gaza (before the war) but the IDF have kept an almost 360 blockade on Gaza to the the point where Gazans can’t even access their own ports. Most of their aid before and during this war came from outside sources but only at the blessing of the Israelis whom can deny any aid at any time.
Basically imagine the Cuban “Quarantine” the U.S. kept around Cuba during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis but instead of only lasting 12 days, Gaza has been under a restrictive blockade for about 18 years now.
@@anthonydunn5853That’s interesting. Palestinians that are citizens in Israel live very well. Hamas is the main factor of Gaza “being an open air prison”.
@@CatsRule2024 The living experience of Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel is as 2nd class citizens. They do not enjoy the same rights as Jewish citizens. Why? Because Israel is explicitly a Jewish state.
@@CatsRule2024 That’s interesting. Absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Gaza has been under blockade by Israel since 2005-6. Nope, absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with restrictions on access, utilities and other supplies plus complete limbo over their status. Citizens of what/where?
Oh, and Arab Israelis are treated as second class citizens. Why? Because the state of Israel is an avowedly Jewish state giving explicit preferential rights to Jewish as opposed to non-Jewish citizens. It’s in Israeli law. If Israel was a secular state, this would not be the case.
if these are our country’s future people, don’t hold breath to see any change comparing to past people
That black dude can’t be FBA, let them fight their own battles
Meanwhile, many other students just want to learn, get their degrees and live their lives.
Exactly. This is America, not Gaza or Israel.
@@LadieKatie Well, it’s not as if the US doesn’t go out of its way every chance it gets to support Israel in every single thing it does, no matter how horrendous… What do you expect?
You act like they cant though, no one is asking them to join in or choose a side. Idk why people act like school, especially umiveristies are a seperation from society. When its literally a cess pool where the future generations create a society to bring out into the world.
@@jdd3959America will always stand with Israel.
@@lotsoffun4716 USA’s prerogative, of course! Just stop complaining about the mess being brought to your doorstep in that case, that’s all. It’s only logical.
Doesn’t matter what side. High tensions? Try living in the projects or in a war zone . These shelter, ungrateful smug students are a laughing stock. Politically correct wimps
And they wonder why they sell bumper stickers that say ‘Ithaca Ny …10sq miles surrounded by reality’ 🤨
Jewish is a religious identity. Palestinian is a geographical identity.
Jewish is also a geopolitical & cultural identity in Israel. Jews were in Israel way before there were Muslims.
They cant even leave the fruit and nut trees alone, in thier insane vengeance. They claim to follow Maimonides? Haha
May Love & Peace Prevail in The World…..
If Hamas puts down their weapons then there could be a two state solution. If Israel lays down its weapons then there will be genocide. That’s the reality of Palestinian humanity.
Why so insistent on using the phrase from the river to the sea? Just come up with another jingle. Don’t they have “Free free Palestine” as well? Feels like a deliberate attempt to create chaos.
These Jewish students should be on the right side of justice instead of making about them
Just a new generation of ignorance, hate and usury. Terrorists “use” people to spread their hate, misinformation and lies. This is all an excuse to hate Jews. Where is the outrage for the other countries? Arabs make up 20% of the population in Israel. They live well, are educated, can vote and live free. They are “heard” in the free elections. The hypocrisy about the Arabs living in Gaza and the West Bank is massive. almost everyone you know has not ever visited Israel or Gaza, so you don’t know anything about the people and how things are handled in that part of the world. This is all just an excuse to hate Jews. Where is the outrage for 700,000 killed in Syria by Assad? Think about that.
Its scary that this is what students are learning in college … were all doomed

Keep politics and personal beliefs/feelings out of school! And nobody cares what you’ll protest or demonstrate after hours. Clearly this people from both sides don’t belong in our elite schools!!
Being anti-zionist is not anti-semetic.
There was never a sole Jewish state in Palestine. It’s stolen occupied land.
Zionist pushed for Uganda far before violently forcing themselves onto this region.
Exactly why there’ll never be a solution to all this BS
Nope. It’s a lesson in futility. The only answer at this point is mass Arab relocation. These 2 groups cannot live near each other. I don’t get why no one sees that.
Why does anyone care what kids in America think? It has no impact on the real problem going on.
I have an answer for the Palestinian supporters. Please tell us first and foremost why, why, why are you kidnapping 85 year old grandmothers and 3 year old Abigail Mor Edan? Ridiculous! Say NO to Hamas! Say NO to terrorists! Say NO to using civilians as human shield! Say NO to storing weapons in schools and hospital! Say NO to building tunnels under schools and hospitals. Say NO to treating woman as slaves and second class citizens. Say Yes to the LGBT community in Gaza and the Arabic world. Stop the hate! #hamasterrorists #hamaskidnappschildren #hamaskidnappsgrandmothers #hamashidesamongcivilians
What ever happened to girls gone wild? Remember summer jam?
Pray for peace.
Wait until they find out their getting drafted because it is coming
Where did this fixation on the “from the river to the sea” slogan come from? I am Jewish and I find myself constantly arguing with other Jews who beleive that that slogan is a call for genocide but I have done my best to research the history of it and can find no strong reason to beleive that.
It’s meant that they want to annihilate Israel for a while now
A professor cherry picked for this issue by BigJugga still agrees to the right thing, This was my comment following the interview-Thank you professor for your insight now be so kindly to let the students that are not standing for all that is right know how wrong they are, furthermore use small words and strong gestures for the Gov of IsR they incapable to see the big picture.
Hamas DID NOT START this. It’s been happening for decades.
Jews people need to read history from different sources, NOT ONLY from Israel / Zionists point of view. Or watch news from Al Jazeera. Afraid of the truth?
From the river to the sea, it’s Israel.
Your vids are amazing❤
The tensions aren’t high the new age brown shirts are out in force. These Americans have shoved their guilt on Israel and tried to erase 3000 years of history and call us colonizers. They cry about race and don’t know most of Israel is POC. Im so sick of these first world martyrs of the minute that were silent on Yemen Syria Libya Lebanon and the list goes on and on.
You should go over bet you feel something then! # NotAllLifeMatters!

When students don’t look at the facts, and just believe the BS they are told.
Unlike boomers, Younger generations are more informed
It actually takes a lot of research to undo the zionist brainwashing of the West, so it’s safe to assume these people are more educated than brainwashed Zionists.
@@navedzj Informed??? What, with BS?
@@Jose_Jimenez Unlike boomers like you who believe the BS fed via news channels, youngsters consume news via multiple interfaces .. So take your medicine and roll over..
If the meaning of the slogan is so thoroughly disputed, then it’s near useless to use it because the phrase only serves to inflame the discourse of participants. We all want to be very clear about what we mean, and thus using the phrase, “From the river to the see” simply doesn’t fulfill that implicit goal: to be clear, to be precise, and to convey an honest message, expressing the desire for peace. If you use this phrase, knowing that it might be considered Hate Speech, then be prepared for the blowback. It’s really that simple. So if you want to continue using this phrase, after being apprised of its highly disputed meaning, then your sincerity and your intentions are going to be questioned, and rightly so. Find another way to express what you mean.
Not just as benign as nearly useless, actively counterproductive. It drives EVERYONE to the right except the lefties thoughtlessly chanting it, with Palestinians thinking they have broad global support to destroy Israel to create one Palestine when they see hundreds of thousands chanting this, and also It drives Israelis farther to the right in a flight to safetly/defense against perceived genocidal chants by hundreds of thousands.
Or you could just stop being a snowflake and being offended by a call for Palestinian freedom?
It’s not really a disputed phrase. The college kid just caught it in a “trendy” protest and doesn’t know what it means. It means “liberate Palestine entirely”. It’s a call to end Israeli occupation, not jewish people. Jewish presence predates the colonizer state of Israel.
@@infiniterer287 That’s funny these Palestinians don’t seem to agree with you. Yeah It’s DEFINITELY disputed. watch?v=hgwtQlwK-hA
@@infiniterer287 If it wasn’t a disputed phrase, there would be very little discussion as to what it means. It would be agreed upon and understood.
There are 5 seas around Israel-Palestine, Sea of Galilee, Dead Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea and Persian Gulf sea. If it the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea, that includes big parts of Lebanon and small parts of Syria. The Golan Heights are east of the Jordan River and not between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea 🌊.
The pro Palestinian Muslim tribal students should spend more time learning about the world and history and develop their logical rational thinking skills instead of virtue signaling identity political activism. They are exposing their ignorance to people that actually are knowledgeable.
The BLM kid should research how Arab Africans have brutally treated black Africans. He wouldn’t be wearing that garbage.
Be seen as a human year in the United States you are seen as a human you go to a very good school and you pay very good money for that and only humans do that
Parents I would rethink sending my kids to these prestigious schools what are they really teaching them.
People will find the stupidity to get wound up about the stupidest things. Israel has done terrible things and Palestinians have done terrible things. Neither deserves support from good people.
I’m so happy Cornell told CBS they condemn anti/semitism, everyone is relieved now. They’re all a bunch of children, useless generation
Deport every foreign student.
Israel has a 20% Arab population that has fully integrated with its society with full citizenship. If anyone wants to look at the hatred, all one has to see is the lack of Jews in the surrounding Arab countries that had to escape during multiple persecutions throughout history.
Its a joke, their is even racism between the Jews with the Ashkenazi (White from eastern Europe) elite. They sterilized Ethiopian women so that they don’t have too much black, and many laws have been passed that make the Arab Israeli second rate citizens.
Palestinians living in Israel literally live under a separate set of laws that discriminates against Palestinians😂🤣 Bro why do people talk when they don’t actually know? Just enjoy regurgitating what they hear that’s all they’re good for. Monkey see Monkey do.
Israel is apartheid terrorist regime. We all know what Israel does with those poor Arabs.
Lol! Is that what the guy on corporate news told you? Israel is doomed for the genocide and apartheid they are committing.
But Israel is a colonizer state that shouldn’t have existed in the first place. So that’s a moot point. Not to mention that jews existed peacefully under a palestinian majority for centuries before 1948. So you’re either being ignorant or disingenuous in your statement.
NBC needs to research the chant – From the River to the Sea… please. You further the divide and we will not accomplish peace with sloppy reporting. Please do your research.
Neither the Israelis nor the Palestinians are special. Nothing has happened, or is happening, to either of them that has not happened to hundreds, possibly thousands, of peoples the world over, throughout history.
PALESTINIANS go somewhere Else. That is ISRAEL’S land. You have NO land. Go to another Muslim country. Problem soleved. Leave!!!!
I wouldn’t hire any kid who thinks that murdering Jews in Israel is a political movement. What a clown show.
For years the term ‘jihad’ meant a holy war. When it became inconvenient for Muslims, they spun it to be promoting the right and preventing the wrong. Same with ‘from the river to the sea.’ Stop playing with words, you are not fooling anyone.
This is gonna be the Ivy League’s Waterloo
It’s the same as Hitlers swat stickers. it means peace in the middle east. Hamas called for the destruction of Israel by using the saying from the river to the sea. Your not going to feel safe around the swat sticker and your not going to feel safe hearing that.
You forget to mention the Palestinian Holocaust that Israeli government are carrying out with the help of the United states government and the support of the Western media
How about the Zionists threatening the entire world peace, NO MORE US MONEY TO RACIST ZIONISTS
Jewish princesses want the cake and eat it too.

How nationally socialized a nation we’ve became.
“Until I’m seen as a human” says the girl who’s probably able to go to Cornell because of a very generous diversity scholarship.
Killing is not killing and Hamas is guilty of war crimes and and murder of innocent Israelis
Those students who side with Hamas are surely Hamas terrorists protegee;
see, knowing the facts that Hamas uses civilians as shield and hospitals and children playground as headquarters, with the truth there full of evidence, 😮 so, cowards are sorely afraid of Hamas so they agree with Hamas.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
DISGUSTING COLLEGE!
Let’s say Palestinians get the “freedom” you are chanting for, what happens to Jews? Will Jews be able to live freely in Gaza the same way Arab Israelis live in Israel; Love who they want to love, be who they want to be, practice their religion freely? Try to answer these questions honestly to yourself
Quite simple actually…
Liberals/ Democrats are just Bad People.. Seriously Flawed to the point of bewilderment.
