    a message of peace doesn't call for the destruction of a country
  • @MrFlyzbar
    Crazy how History repeats itself, how fast the world forgets!!
  • @johsinwang5388
    This freshman performs much better than the Ph.D. student.
  • @barak9966
    Imagine students after 9/11 advocating for the terrorists in u.s campuses and then intimidate all those who speak against them

    They emphasized that he is Jewish, but not that Nadia is an immigrant from an Arab country. *Wow, so many likes and comments, but nobody understood why I wrote it. The reason I emphasized her Arab/Muslim origin was to make people see that the Jews are being attacked and blamed mainly by Muslims and their supporters just for being Jews. I guess that Nadia and other pro Palestinians would never protest against Muslim countries or their citizens in which people are really getting murdered on purpose, not as casualties as happens in Gaza, but on purpose, such as in Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan etc. Their own Muslim leaders have murdered their own citizens! But it's easy to protest against Jews, who have only one Jewish country, and who are threatened daily for the past 100 years in Israel with terror attacks. Read some history!
  • @user-jo9hq1co2b
    He needed to film the attack and report them to the police. This is unacceptable for him to experience hate.
  • @Emeronite
    I have seen Jews protesting against Israel but i have yet to see a single Palestinian protesting against Hamas. The very fact that they celebrated oct 7th is enough for me to not care about them and their cause.
  • @user-bh5tb8tk6r
    There's a HUGE "Resistance By Any Means" banner on the lawn. Sure, it's all peaceful.
  • @joel.6359
    I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the visual of her being in the studio and him in a basement was significant to me.
  • @flyerh
    she is 100% lying or completely in denial.
  • @irenekapya6839
    Nadia is an example that those who are in ivy league schools are not really that bright.
  • @Erika-wq9yc
    They should watch and read Son of Hamas, maybe they learn some truth
  • @goodvaybs
    Who takes a 1 yo baby (Kfir Bibas) to Gaza as hostage?
  • @Xaroni
    They think they are protesting righteously but none of them are calling for the hostages to be brought home!!!!
  • @jodifalk5357
    @Nadia Ali - please consider taking down the “By any means necessary” sign in your encampment if you’d like to respect safety and human rights of those on campus
  • @Oryou1
    the protesting students are fundamentally carrying a message of peace, funniest joke ever
