#IsraelHamasWar #Antisemitism #College
How shameless of NBC. Left out the main question from your reportage
It’s NBC. What did you expect?
Anti Semitism and Islamophobia being practiced in colleges . ? The parades were organised by supporters of Palestine which is a Muslim area. How and where were the Anti muslim or Islamophobia rallies held? I am perplexed at the misinformation being spread by NBC NEWS CHANNEL . I WONDER IF NBC NEWS IS BEING FUNDED BY SUPPORTERS OF PALESTINE
You omitted the important parts
Shame on three presidents! As well as the NBC News.
They should resign. Period!
The Democrats running the schools are not going to ever agree with ANY STATEMENT or POSITION coming from a Republican no matter the subject. It is a situation where agreeing with a Republican is far worse than allowing threats of violence against the students these people are supposed to be protecting.
The Democrats have failed in their most basic responsibilities repeatedly, and yet they continue to be given positions of power and control over others. Americans better make a major course correction, or America will be nothing more than another 2nd or eventually 3rd world failure.
3 women, scholars, chairmen of respected universities, sit, after consulting among themselves and with lawyers, and are unable to say something basic moral – shame on you. Resign and go home. You are a shame not only to your institutions, you are a shame to moral, honest and peace-seeking human beings.
If white people called for the deaths of black people, what would Harvard’s response be ?
Anyone with half a brain knows the answer.
Three heroic women of the century. Amazing stance agains political theater. These politicians are disgusting: bought and sold by APAC and foreign governments. What shame. Trump was right- we need to drain the swamp.
If Madam President had been asked what she thought about saying death to people of her skin color starting with the letter N, she would have answered the same way.
Funny how free speech is totally fine by the college officials when it is antisemitic. Imagine if there was anti black or anti trans speech, it won’t stand for a minute, total hypocrites.
The attacks by the questioner and many of the comments are completely off the mark. The question was about a metter of fact, i.e., whether current codes of conduct at those institutions are violated by certain statements and whether those statements constitute bullying. The responses were 100% fine. First, they replied by stating what current codes of conduct actually say (rightly or wrongly). I.e., one could have a discussion about whether those codes are right, and one could follow up the question by asking whether the responders personally think that those codes of conduct should be amended; but yelling at those people just for stating a fact is plain stupid. Second, bullying and harassment are technically about personal attacks, so no generic statement that is not addressed to a person is technically bullying, no matter how unacceptable it may be for other reasons. The fact that it’s not bullying does not make it OK. Simply, it’s not bullying, in the same way that murder by firearm is not technically the same as murder by poisoning (and so, if someone is murdered by poisoning and the question is “was it murder by firearm”, the correct answer to the question is “no”). It saddens me to see how low the level of public debate has sunk.
Ryan, do not walk to the nearest psych ward. What did we learn from the 20th century? What the filter for a few weeks. Exam in your life!
Wow. Just wow. Where were you when Goebbels was looking for minions? With enough “context” and sophistry you can support anything.
What a giant load of 💩
@@darrellfuller8078 Without context and reason you can support anything.
@@flxsmrna Please enlighten me! If these protestors were screaming for the incitement of genocide against a different racial or religous minority other than the Jews, would you have responded the same above? If sophistry is fine here, would you also play the same game elsewhere? What additional context would you be asking for after witnessing angry protestors chanting incitement of genocide towards another minority group?
All the Presidents must be sacked.
Code of conduct and moral clarity in university is a must.
Wen Islamist came for the afroamericans , it will be ssoooo late for you dear .Be safe as long as you can.
Hey NBC great job of leftwashing the actual facts. If your viewers actually watched the hearing they would never watch you again.
Yeah, another example of McCarthy being right. The Marxist invaded our universities and colleges a century ago if not longer. They’re not doing too badly in the FBICIA etc. either.
You cannot incite violence. That is not freedom of speech.
You cannot yell fire in a crowded theater.
It is telling that every where I look in media, in governments, in these schools of higher learning there is a vast majority of women in the highest of decision making positions and at the same time society as a whole is imploding and sin and insane thinking is everywhere and is directing every step these presidents and schools make. Perhaps, just perhaps there is a correlation as these schools allow hate, racism and terrorism to grow and the students are coming out programmed more so then educated.
0:45 “we embrace a commitment to free expression”. Reckon she’d be ok with some hooded up clan holding a rally on campus ? Same hamas energy, different costume.
Say the same about blacks, women, LTBQetc and you will get cancelled, expelled and free speech is out of the window.
Those hypocrites have lost their minds.
Just don’t ask what is a women
Way to edit a narrative msnbc
NBC you really show your true colors / these university presidents refuse to unequivocally answer that calling for the destruction / genocide of jewish people is unacceptable!!! You edited this out of the story you are complicit in HATE CRIMES AGAINST THE JEWISH PEOPLE
The issue here is these Presidents knew Stefanik was referring to the phrase “from the river to sea Palestine will be free”. They should have said explicitly calling for the genocide of the Jews violates their code of conduct and then used the context argument to debate her on the phrase…..
Nice cut there NBC, pathetic attemp as usual. I invite everyone to listen with their own ears the actions condoned by those so called “state of the art university” presidents. Shame on you.
As a mini ivy graduate, I am grateful, finally, the truth is coming through. I feel my degree implies I agree with the division of DEI, intersectionality, etc. I spent my time in graduate school learning about “whiteness” and “anti-colonialism/capitalism”. Students openly stated violence was an option in their activism. I was rejected (cancelled) when I voiced my opposition, as a life long liberal. My emails to the Deans went ignored. I did not learn valuable skills I would need to work in my field. Agree with the poster about the heavy editing. Watch the hearings yourself to see the full picture. It is not only a disgrace, but frightening what is happening in our institutions of higher learning. There are many of us who feel this way and who are speaking out without a right/left agenda. This is about truth, logic and reason.
What is a “mini Ivy graduate”?
What a disgusting edited
Liberals only believe in freedom of speech when they’re calling for genocide against Jews and Caucasians. Outside of that they’ll shut the campus down for a day and offer therapy if you use the wrong pronouns.
Biden destroyed America never vote democrat
Another reason not to trust NBC, CBS, ABC, etc. Not showing what they really said is the same as lying.
This NBC piece is a blatant attempt to whitewash the shocking testimony of the heads of Harvard, UPenn and MIT, by leaving out the most egregious parts of their testimony. It appears that saying that a “woman is an adult human female” falls within the scope of hate speech at these institutions, but chanting slogans that calls for the genocide of the Jewish nation is not. What was revealed by smirking testimony of the heads of Harvard, UPenn and MIT is that there is moral decay at the heart of these institutions.
Obvious Liz Magill certainly approves of g*nocide. Even approves of an Intifadah against the Jews on campus.
Why do we donate to their endowments?!
They hate us and our children.
Tokenism never works out and we have it here with the 3 incompetent shrews dodging question like mobsters at the Kefauver hearings. Anti-Semites, Wokies, incompetents. They’ve lost control (did they ever have it?) of their schools and now backpedal to save enabled careers of people chosen for gender rather than competence. They have all failed miserably and perhaps trustees should think twice in the future when selecting for look over competence.
It’s time for private companies and firms to stop hiring 2024 graduates from these institutions. There is clearly moral rot. For some reason state schools (with the exception of Berkeley) seem to be churning out fewer derranged lunatics than these “elite” schools.
I watched the uncut version. And all I will say is: GOD WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS ISRAEL, AND GOD
WILL CURSE CURSE CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE ISRAEL, like these three so called presidents.
Harvard all about that 60s style segregation, kind of sick.
Fire them all! Just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean you’re qualified.
They are obviously incompetent and arrogant specially the Harvard university president look at that cocky face disgusting and disgraceful
One can ponder how different these people’s responses would be when it would come to pro-life advocates. The hypocrisy has reached comedy levels. Protect free speech to those that advocate genocide, deny it to those that advocate the opposite cause ‘insert reason’.
All these University presidents need to be FIRED!!! Terribly ignorant.
Terrible reporting.
“There is only one solution, Intifada Revolution” that has all of the cpntext you need.
There were some dudes in the 30’s talking about a final solution too.
I bet all these professors and institutions were all behind “Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences.”
Karma. You made your bed, now lie in it.
NBC reporting is disgusting. If I saw Stephanie Gosk in a room I would walk out after vomiting.
It’s obvious that these smug elitists forgot to pack their swastika armbands when they packed for their trip to DC.
It’s disgusting that Israel wants to commit genocide yet play the perpetual victim.
Like hamas?????
yep like both sides.
@@Matthew-mw9nf
It’s people like you that fail to recognize the military occupation that Palestine has been under for far too long by Israel. @@Matthew-mw9nf
All this controversy is a cynical move to distract from the ongoing genocide in gaza.
The disgusting hate and vile brainwashing starts at the top evidently.
To defend the rights of palestinians is not antisemitism. Is a humanitarian consideration. By the way, palestinians are semites too. ¡Be honest! Journalists, intellectuals ¡be truth!
When you look at the big brothers media manipulated and centralized viewers number of comments it is around 300 – 500 who stand with the genocide and try to find any word to use to victimize children murders (Zionists). When you look at other non centralized non manipulated source of media we find over 100k comments majority of them stand against the Genocide.
If they are not fired ! The trustee board are corrupted! All must been investigate fr bottom to the top board
Absolute horrible reporting! Why not show where these Presidents could not determine that the support for genocide itself is somehow subject to conduct. Support is the conduct.
With all of the pressing problems facing our country and the world why are these Republicans wasting our taxpayer money and time on a matter that does not fall under their preview?
Because they can and should. To call out blatant racism. Especially the thing from Harvard.
Stop it ?! They are all bribed by Qatar – jail time is mandatory :
https://youtu.be/8__wYDquBYE
She tricked Haravd chick. Intifada means up rising (for just cause), it has nothing to do with killing. I saw the hostages released in good condition. words and claims means nothing while action means everything. Talk about suppressing free speech.
Dana white should be president of a university
Intafada is not genocide. If you believe that, you’re stupid.
Sack these women disgraceful behaviour total ignorance of history and they run education shame on you…America was so up in arms against the black lives matter what a joke and hypocrisy you cannot stand up for what is right and set an example I am not American but I’m shocked at the double standards in America disgraceful every university should be shut down as the example they are setting for the young generation the Jewish people are STRONG and the world will never be able to annihilate them everyone have tried and failed and will continue to fail…israel deserve the world’s support not discrimination hamas is evil the devils handy men but they will not succeed…you know why because God says so….check it out
Pro genocide USA senates want to supress freedom of speech on campuses and silence those who object to ethnic cleansing of palestinians. Israel occupies Palestine not the opposite.
These three presidents need to resign, immediately!!
College’s are breeding ground for Marxism and Terrorists
The woke mind virus is real
Surprised the university presidents couldn’t find a way to blame this on Trump
I think that this is bonkers. Islamophobia and the actual genocide of arabs never gets this much outrage. Clear double standard once again, but whats new

After all these years, I still remember the shocking Lester Holt question on the nightly news during the 2000 presidential campaign between Al Gore and George Bush. The quote was, “Just how long will it be before Al Gore drives a stake through the heart of this George Bush candidacy? Biased much?
They should be upset with Israel for creating the atmosphere on college campuses
Ivy Leagues are from a by gone era nowadays. They serve no purpose and people who graduate from them are just stupid, entitled people with expensive degrees that cannot do anything better than anyone who didn’t go to an Ivy League
Your video coverage of what was actually said in front of congress was intentionally not adequate to show the actual event. Your inability to actually show what happened is shocking.
💰💰🔥🔥burning souls, please pray for the world leaders’
May the Lord Jesus who loves you set you free by the power of the blood of His Cross. Satan has no claims over you. You belong to Jesus, your God and Saviour. May He set you free. ❤❤
Republicans are absolutely pounding the democrats on these issues. They know dems cant say they support Israel will lose Michigan voters who supprt Tlaib
The Presidents aren’t apologizing because they are leftist, they are apologizing because funding is disappearing
The Axis of Evil . It can not be any clearer . Just show up with a Trump hat and you would have been arrested
Not another dime of taxpayer money… Period.
Unbelievable
How do you think they became university presidents? They are evil and complete morons. Mis gendering a spoilt brat on campus is violence though.
You really have to say the media are more than corrupt and liars. All you libs watch the actual questions and answers, these women are evil. And imbeciles. They shouldn’t run a day care
The three faces of confusion, but yet they pretend that 5he are qualified for such important jobs. Oh wait that’s because they have filled in the box for taking a position as a women, not qualified but because they are women. That’s what you get.
Wait there has always been anti black racism on these campuses but no body has anything to say about that. And the so-called Jews participating in this racism. If we all are not comfortable then we will all be uncomfortable.
Dont have to say anything about it.. Some folks will continue to vote for those that pretend to be their saviors!!! Hahahaha
Oh no…can you say donations being pulled? Can you say lawsuits coming? Well, I guess this is the “context” for it!
This shows FEMALE presidents sucks when it comes to decision making
Toxic femininity at its worst
These presidents are hypocrites.
Ask Conservative speakers and student groups how they protect “free speech” when someone tries to host an event on these campuses. Different story than the one she’s telling.
that cowboy hat was adorable?
Wow….Why doesn’t the US just change its name to Israel?
NBC edited the highlights of these hearings to downplay them and act like freedom of speech is just so dear to democrats
STEFANIK: And you understand that the use of the term intifada in the context of the Israeli-Arab conflict is indeed a call for violent armed resistance against the state of Israel, including violence against civilians and the genocide of Jews. Are you aware of that? (THATS THE LIE IT DOES NOT MEAN GENOCIDE OF JEWS)
Can anyone tell me how disgusting this sounds at 0:52
…….Segregation happens in Israel every day. The Jews are the whites and the palestinians are the blacks.
It is called Apartheid. The Zionists in the west need to stop supporting Apartheid in Israel…The Zionists are trying to silence everyone’s voice. If you want people to stop being angry at you then stop the slaughter of women and children in gaza.
It is not acceptable to mass murder civilians. And now you want to silence free speech. All the Zionist Jews in the west are to blame for supporting Israel as an Apartheid State. What a bunch of Hypocrites. Enough is Enough.
And if Biden will not put an end to the genocide of these people then we need to vote him out of office……
The Left and especially the Secular-Left have been Anti-Christian Evangelical and Anti-Catholic. The Secular-Left has now added Anti-Semitism to their list of accepted bigotries.
The presidents of these elite colleges are all women and yet the left claims inequality still exists. I agree but now it’s men who are suffering from inequality.
Shameful
Supporting genocide is now a core value in Harvard and Penn.
Like so many others, NBC SUCKS. As always, this story is misleading.
🖕🏽NBC. We’re smarter than you.
And yet, a young man was refused entrance into Harvard because he used the N word when he was 16. So, current language calling for elimination of Jews is okay because free speech good blablabla (as long as it fits the woke university’s standards) .. but what a stupid kid said when he was 16 will haunt him, apparently for an indefinite time into the future, and exclude him from entrance to your university. Hmmm. Something doesn’t sound quite right on this.
why are only women heading this big universities?
