a short musical and pollution in real life. i'm the community manager, but as a direct to i can be so many things. i can be adult to a lawyer, i can become whatever i want. that's what some amazing we can experience so many lives through filmmaking. but such film struggled to find an audience because independence in him as our closing down and able to compete with commercial content found online elements or was one of the few remaining independent sit in most where people used to come in wants to african films. but look at it now. the owners have turned it into a supermarket. they say selling food is more profitable than showing african film. the medina cinema is an exception. a place where the zillow can not only show her film, but tell her story to a captive audience. she resides a poland for those films, and filmmakers who don't always feel like they belong. there is

a home for them. in the cars. medina, it's then it goes african women's film festival. nicholas hawk elgin's here at the car to turn into a 1000 alan palestinians in the south of the strip of celebrated a group wedding for 5 couples. the crowds took a break from the devastation of war to witness the ceremony in hon unit, the city of seeing some of the most intense battles between his reading forces and kind of thing applied to the system. what if again, the event was cool, weddings despite worked well, that's it for me down. jordan, you can find more information on our website out here with dot com. there it is. the news continues here on out to 0 off the bottom line. expect you and thanks for watching the charts. military has been a couch that's taking power nicole. 3 years ago. now people will have

a child to help their say, well, the us with growing it schools, i'm groups imposing the front of neighboring so dining conflict. what lies ahead for the country child the elections or not just 0, a. hi, i'm steve clements and i have a question across the united states. why are the student protests for palestine being met with military style crackdowns? let's get to the bottom line. the from los angeles to boston and dozens of college campuses in between, students have been peacefully expressing their solidarity with the palestinian people on their college campuses. after months of watching israel pulverized gauze into rubble and dust. but this week, the administrations of several universities called on police forces to break up the demonstrations and tear apart student encampments more than 2000 and students have been detained. and a countless number of been injured, suspended,

or banned from setting foot on campus. graduation ceremonies have been cancelled, and president joe biden has weighed in implying that the demonstrations are anti semitic and basically reducing the protests to an issue of law and order. but is it that simple, or is it linked to the american tradition of youth movements that start against the vietnam war in the 19 sixty's, a part hide south african, the 1980s, and supported black lives matter just a few years ago. today we'll start with 2 student leaders at the university of north carolina at chapel hill, jacob, and harsh, and thank you both for joining us today. let me, let me ask you both, and i'll start with jacob. what are you trying to achieve in, in these protests right now, what does this mean to you personally? and i would love to hear the same from hasha a. yeah. and the so we 1st and foremost want to end the genocide that is relevant, slipping out of costs and in people's tens of thousands of palestinians have emerged by what has done to it by the united states government and are not just our

government. and that is the same, but it is martin's conclusion. it is the university of north carolina that is also the implicit because it is invested in the state as well as all arguments on campus is 1st and foremost, for financial disclosure and trans guarantee. so that we can actually see how the university is invalid and it's my cell is 2, what all valid products there is, but the image. and if i put the application in a part. and then finally, if you need full, they've asked me for the state of israel, jacob over at jacob real quick, why did this become such a personal issue for you that your risking your academic standing, your risking being arrested? what, what about this issue? resonated for you? personally, it comes into play, it is being in the united states, but listening this and see how them my tax dollars. and they are going to fund the sites. and i'm going to find out the patient in a hard time, also because i am jewess, and my, and they are using either of them or their weapon, actually my religion to the main math atrocities. so those are like,

personally what would lead me to this to this? thank you. a harsh i'm. i would love to hear what's motivating you at this moment. yeah, i think a big thing for me has to be frustrated and i've been feeling living in the united states, the years with city. and mostly this is how political by this country seems so vast and supporting israel despite it's brian, you know, the 2 weeks ago or because you go and then the grass, i think 49. so 49 percent, i think is really the beginning of genocide. only 90 the way of 21 percent thing is not meaning a genocide and then the rest of the insurance. so if you just look into that right, base bar or more than the thing that is really is to me thinking genocide versus does the dog. yeah. so really to go in congress and the bill of sending $70000000000.00 is real to continue satisfied. we saw 4750. you democrats have

decided that your body assigned it. and the majority of democrats live in the house . uh, so we see this disconnected. well, with the americans. i think it where a lot of americans are saying is really mitigate genocide of the cross out of the openness. yeah. so i'm happy to be listed in those 5. you want to make me want to be why i see this like our, our reality is more important than our own academic success. we will not sell a reality for us to ship or, or a government that is willing to sell it. so again, i just added that like our sacrifices are so minor to parents and like what other people are making that like we have, i completely ran to do whatever it takes to get these demands in that. and he will not stop until our demand is or not. and until that we see the sea and housing and freedom and how does the little reason? so i'm just interested. are you seeing violence? are you seeing anti semitic groups as part of your movement? i mean, tell us what that texture looks like. yeah, yeah. i can,

i can take this. the only pilots that we see is the violence of the police and against us. we are peaceful. we were just edited cabinet. we or e sign the needs of the university that the date was house hands on the fly. and the only bias that occurred is when the police officers brutally rated the incoming calls. people cabinets a big brown. one of us was there shortly with this located. they ran across the ground and subjected to the brutal treatment. so really, the only plans that we see is on the end of the police and also that kind of professors because behind the police guessing what kind of weight is, what are the chancellor? the chancellor, every minute or 3 days out there at the police are pushing people over straight brain, people with the type of sprint and tapping people in wheelchairs, wheelchairs right behind this blind police doing this, but horrible riddle regression is our chancellor or cancel the it'd be find him, are people holding the is rarely flat and holding in a mirror way. and with that,

the only violence is the university in the police and is the counter professors. and i just, i do want to say one more thing because you asked about insects. i'm to them and i just want to say that i am curious, and i had never once witnessed nor experienced any interest i'm interested in is moving her costs. and you literally say, we are a little bit for democracy for quality, for justice presentations to be told me. no, thanks, a patriot at our encampment, we have to box services. we have many jewish people, their menu, us, the safety, and all the organizations argues. and that they are choosing us, that'd be facebook, which isn't, isn't bodily ridiculous, bother me up, certainly bleeding boss. and the reason that they're doing this is because they are trying to silence us. they are going to suppress our movements. and they are kind of near us and somebody, and there are rather this whole thing about right. it is, massey difficult watching and they're just using this. the field is helping

criticism. and i want to say that right and type in place sign is a, is not at this time, is that right? well, thank you. harsh him, i want to ask you an unfair question. what is different about this moment? we're all of a sudden it college campuses across the united states. palestine is front page above the fold and it's got the attention of the nation in a way i've never seen in my life. i just the basic way here. first of all, i thing, uh, is there a, i've just gone like, you know, i think is relevant to stay as in committing atrocities for 75 years. it's never gospel. this is just to you for so that they feel empowered because they've been propelled by years, the never being busted for their actions. and it's just, i think that we're sending okay, would draw the line of aspect. now we have, we can see the information, i was interested, it seems information and you get a very different way and we are seeing what's happening on the ground. and gosh, we see what's happening. and i think in the past that was always, she was by

a certain, by a media perspective, whether or not because it was kind of stuff. right. i want to play a clip for you of former president donald trump commenting about all of you and get your reaction. let's listen to every college rosen and i say remove the in tap and so immediately vanquish the radicals and take back our campuses for all as a normal one, a safe place from which to learn. that was former president, maybe future president, donald trump. what are your reactions to that and what is his? how does his notion of normally students compare to the 2 of you passion of the people who they disagree with, but really it's just students standing up against the dentist off. and it was really a riley of less of a bunch of people out around the ultimate starts and suggest life jo genocide, joe, he saw and looks back at the item and he said they're not, they're not at all. so the things that joe was forwarding address,

i based on what you're saying based on what he said, is that right? yeah, he's mad that we're progressing in genocide like make bags fast. so, you know, using, and i honestly don't really care with the things you've even do it for all i care about using that is just try and use this to uh, to get his base, you know, right. uh, yeah, and i want to, i decided that our movement is a mass and doesn't mean it is so popular on campus. we had around cabinet and what might be helpful to 1500 people. this is so popular and powerful and so many students on campus for getting involved to we are not a minority. we are the majority of students were committed to deliveries and of allison. and we can see this by how many people turned up to support us. and by yes, all the end of the community supported and yeah, it is, it is really upsetting to say that this is like some sort of french thing. we represent the majority here. yeah, i'm going to go ahead. yeah,

the way that we are starting operations with all this. well, i think you're just the box. you just have to understand the 2nd of all the thoughts of those those are the needs to be comfortable in the process. but all of their saw, i knew that they took that off a cabinet, but it'd be built as the and use barricade there were like that was so no one can use that space either way. but walking around campus right now, they're walking. it's like military friends, um they have a right to be sued barricades, all around the law. all around is black to protect the americans. last and there are no 6, its numerous everywhere. there are security lights everywhere. there was like a mind resisted uh like uh, on vehicle roaming the last campus. yeah. let me ask you just finally and very quickly as you see yourselves and you see your campus in the future, are you going to see any ability of people who are on different sides of this

equation and feel differently in this moment? able to sit down and engage in civil discourse, engage in education, about this moment. i'm happy to sit down and play disagree with, but there's a lot of if you're supporting this i, i am not interested in talking to you. you know, that's like asking us like, what would you like to sit down with was menaces or not these on get this? no, i'm just not big enough people. i'm interested in speaking here. and there are people who, you know, disagree with the think. what is there is doing is for david, those people, the better is what, what is the interest and forgivable. and you know, if we have the best that they don't care for the best that will be with you should jacob, i'll give you the last word. but i would like to say one final thing to a chance or cancel or cancel it, we might, or it's that it's on you history. well, now remember, you can find the history. remember you for your tower, this trigger and ask for your can subsidy and horrible atrocities and crimes

against humanity. and also i want means that i just need to know this. and i've also because you're choosing the semitism, i just want to stay there, but i want you to take my relations of your mans. well, hi simon jacob. the students for justice in palestine at the university of north carolina at chapel hill. thank you so much for being with us. it appreciate it. thank you. and now we turned to michelle, the golf professor of linguistics at the massachusetts institute of technology. dr . digraph. thank you so much for joining us today. your campus is now one of the other many campus, nearly a 100 campuses in the united states that having cabinets and protests right now about what's happening in gaza. what are you seeing right now at mit in cambridge? massachusetts actually disconnects the i just heard the sound is almost exactly like those beds that i know at the might be the very can reduce to

them. and i myself, i can think about this put in to put test it gets identified. i feel about being are the moral compass into moral compass about tennessee physically and i truly then. oh, told her it was last year i've been tired and houghton by then i really think back and said you think moment in the history of us higher education giving you how to and encourage and inspired by the students that we just heard a few and be that those right here and just to me a to make a doctor to graft. you have just written a letter to the president of m i t. your employer in boss basically challenging her framing of these protests. and just in short form, you will have implied and said to her that her framing is actually dangerous to the students that and she has been framing these peaceful protests and peaceful

students that you've been seeing as violent as anti semitic. tell us more about this letter, but just simply what you sent you back based on that symmetry in the waiting, which of president, i mean, the reason i'm treat the students were protesting against the general side presses, builds with support israel and it's constant. just slash choose a group of faculty who are supporting us today. we met with the president and, and we've been to word, it gives me actually that because every detail just me things that we have time to spend at least for next. they are fighting for something which is dear to, to put them there, i think logistics and they are putting a look at risk and some of them have that many deputies and got the what's being murdered. so we have to understand where they're coming from. they're coming from typically of pain looking for just the and, and a better this morning. even the use of pronoun she referred to,

the students for contact with testing. actually they took out that process was sponsored by none other than did you train the company basically, is it going to protest new? it might be sponsored by the contrary, the government. and we had heard just a couple of weeks ago from none of our, the independent experiences on yahoo describing the students was fighting against the general side you describe was put in as if they were like german nineties. in the 1930, i could not be the department of state. actually the graduates of it might be describing students were begging m a v to start a computer team to don't have describing them as if they were mad the so i was shocked by that. but then this morning, when i read that it puts it in, was concerned about the q is for a 2 hour is ready and joyce good in our but in fact in this process

to get to the side. yeah, many joyce did in today's a group called m i g jews for these prior. and if i do at present this morning, i can come in and do some beautiful songs and keep room. and it may be, is the buyout, despite logistics, especially the reason for being out there also thought we would do is communities the, when she said that she needs to, that, that this group, this is book. this was for the project for the protection, for the support of our doing, just getting ready to be difficult. you read, you raise the, do we split it or also fighting for, but i didn't lie function in 50 if you so i was actually quite hurried despite the message because i, i've, i've been, we've, it's been about 4 or 4 months. all right. then then i've heard the cries, i've had to obtain, and for them to be re, is she didn't even mention that what police package didn't mention. they were pretty spinning. and as if the stuff that exist, you'll see end up paying the big fees. but any type of splitting the pricing or get

the dental side pricing again, it might be right helpings or does it. michelle, one of things that i think some of the observers and, and critics on national cable tv had been saying, uh, is that this, these protests are animated, supported, put in motion by outside are groups that these are not authentic. we students, they are not authentic. we professor, but these are the instigators around the nation. i'd love to hear your response to that. but that, that's why people, because i've been, i've been made to now for 28 years. so it's kind of runny pretty. that describes, has these professes are being instigated by what's it outside of the 19th? i haven't been here. i've been teaching here for 28 years, and this is what i've been, i've been getting targeted, keeps books out to you know, this of some of my favorite track is one is called the black meadows. and the other one is called career languages and keeping identities. and in my class

a couple of years ago, i had a student from palestine, jensen tour, or whatever one of our projects, what, what's the spend? the is 3 co, larry 2 between what, what happened to hate the age of the way, the way to genocide we have to fight for only be ration requested or do you many p . rectify to get to the advisor. but we have lots of connections between 8 and 25. and in the sense we teach, right to pick this course and back matter as well. so kids about the, the reason the bad about and little bit about okay, patient. and as soon as through then i just put the best way i could profess it. i couldn't be teaching about maybe recently getting about digging like this and, and i see students in the forefront of actual be reason actually because my vision and then to doing now. then of course, these are my 2 students. this is the best, this is the best that they might be, can offer in terms of intellectual cation,

the content med, you know, they call it the degree that billing. you know, just words. if you spend half an hour talking to the students, they're what they're doing, they're creating a better future future we're doing. and he's trying to use it. if they want to join us the jewish priests and build the new something new together, the future of love and be for everyone actually, the minutes when i think about at least 10 would be free from the read the could this be but the minutes back, but it can be, they are still treated as the compressed citizens, the one ben to be like it, frankly, we want them to have freedom and justice from the revert to this the, it's a cause for universal justice. i'm just wondering from your experience, what's the, what's that moment or spark that finally brought this to the forefront in a way that just hasn't happened for decades? well, i think we have to big, good on yahoo for these moments. you see because it doesn't have who you took it

like the trunk. you see, for example from columbine. if you've country because it's a cool country because 18 to country. so truck has been so clear about these patriot. both the black people, for example, for african. right. and if it's something that we've been finding out who went on how goes on creatures to call. but it's janine to them and the allies fighting it gets identified when it, when it compare them to the not the is showing that's clearly what he said about. he's funny about protecting jewish people. tell me about, you know, and i think the best thing to do then it's about ro power. right? and it's clear that he doesn't care about 2 weeks before, because if he did, he would have kids going through this thing back. a good number of jury students, what in line with the students, from parties, banks and then from the past we can connect them. you know, he's also asking for an end to these down because of the patient. so we cannot hope

it hard to depend on one group and then choose a hard to pick up younger group if you feel when, when, when it gets it, then that will cause student mad view. if you put something out, can be both. then there's talk about this being the rhetoric of a history and it did, in fact my, my, my colleague professor reads the lady and read the book about actually she many people as well about this in this, in music stuff, programming the fact that you know, that it needs writing school system big just that there is a children that to be out to paper is can you from the, from a very young age. in fact, the jacket paper called the modification opinion and depends on what you know he's doing now what he's doing on pre, to what he's doing in god that he's showing us the clearly the fact that he's capable of identified and it's up to you. so if i'm just not, i'm not what we should go back to the history of history. i literally sent to the speech of the mirror. i mean, i have begun, you know, he's been constant. you know,

these d, even though you've ration but the skinny and cutting them instead of cutting them tree, kept cutting them all kinds of terrible names. do you mean anything them, it's not a new thing, right? facebook that i think it never was known as an impaired. so i see that these are these premiums, that of up to committee, that gives you notes. he's ready to raise your less that if he is going to understand that. so what keeps for example, but black by the dimensions about the history of the direction and get the american citizen defending the making of these companies advocate the power. and so therefore, we have prepared now to see what's happening to the police pinion and see whether it's a cost for all of us. we can not be studying the history of activity in the us. and then so i looked up in a to do so, but it's giving you the right, right, well, well, we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for joining us. profession michelle . the graph at the massachusetts institute of technology where thank you very much for inviting me and thank you for i was so hutton to hear the students from you in

the so thank you for giving them in for to express the, the deep span of morality. interesting that we, because of the faculty need to be inspired by any to we need to basically take you to the next level. thank you. thanks so much. so, what's the bottom line? the rise of tens of thousands of students in more than 30 us states is going to go down in the nation's history side by side with the protests, against the vietnam war. and the boycott actions against apartheid south africa after 8 months of non stop is really devastation in gaza, killing with impunity and with no serious attempts to stop it. students in america have just said enough is enough. all the attempts to smear them is now eve or brain wash or hateful or irrelevant to the daring and bold authenticity of the students and faculty. protests joe biden says, this movement isn't compelling him to change his mind about his policy on israel or palestine. but other americans are starting to question their own long standing

ideas. many are becoming much more aware of the issues and raising their voices for justice. and that's the bottom line. the this is the 1st one i saw that we see the real time. it's the victims themselves was recorded. there's a disconnect between what we are witnessing on social media versus what we're seeing on mainstream. it is always an attempt to frame a true side of them, but there is no 2 sides to this. the western media does have a western bias, understand what they are looking and raise. the listening post covers how the news is covered. after a 10 year journey in which it has become the most important translation award from . i'm into the outer big language world wide. shea come out award for translation
