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 struggle to find an audience because independence cinemas are closing down and able to compete with commercial content found online elements or was one of the few remaining independent sitting modes where people used to come and watch 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 zillah can not only show her film, but tell her story to a captive audience. she resides at home and 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 and it goes african women's film festival. nicholas hawk elgin's here at the car. this is brianna joins have been con champions of a spanish legal illegal for the record is 36 time the hundreds of supporters took to the streets of the spanish capital to celebrate the type of knots after traditional rival barcelona lost their much while ralph cruised with renewed victory against countries on saturday. the spanish china. so now i am the champions leave for they are going to face german top band munich in the semi finals. the bottom line is next. i'm going to madison. don't forget the website. obviously the don't come. stay with us and i was just the now is the time to be direct. israel's project has been to completely conflict

zionism and judy as a. but this was not a jew, israel's, of state. and they need to be treated as any other state. what this is where the tough questions are, as can you see negotiations being even have this is most important, which of these are going to negotiate, poll unapologetic, i'm just asking awesome upfront on, out to the high arch the plan. and so 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 canceled and present, and joe biden has weighed in implying that the demonstrations are anti semitic and basically reducing their 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 and the 19 sixty's, a part hide south africa in the 19 eighties 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 they would love to hear the same promotion. yeah, and the so we 1st and foremost want to end the genocide that is relative inflicting

amount of cost and in people's tens of thousands of pounds. the needs of emerg, bye, what incense to a by the united states government and are not just our government and that is the same, but it is our institution. it is the interesting one showing that it's also be complicit because it is invested in the state of israel. and so our demands on campus is 1st and foremost, financial disclosure and trans guarantee. so that we can actually see how the university has been about. and it's my cell is 2 boys, all the valley products there, but the image and assignments, and so the patient and a part time. and then finally the need full. they've asked me for the state of israel, a jacob, 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 is being in the united states and but listening this and see how them my tax dollars. and they are going to fund the sites and going to find out the

patient in a hard time. also because binds us and my and they are using judaism or their weapon, actually my religion to come in master trust. and so those are like, personally what we're letting me do 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 have a feeling living in the united states. the yes, the city honestly just how political this country seems so and supporting israel despite it's brian, you know, the 2 weeks ago or because you go and then the paragraphs, i think 49. so 49 percent i think is really the beginning of genocide. only 19 or 21 percent thing is there 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 it really is to me thinking set aside versus does it go? yeah,

the way to go in congress and the bill of sending $70000000000.00 is real to continue to satisfy. we saw 4750. you democrats have decided that you bought, assigned it, and the majority of democrats live in the house. so we see this disconnected well with the americans, i think it where a lot of americans are saying is media genocide of the cross out of the openness uses. so i'm happy to be listed in those 5. i want to make, we want to be like 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. and yeah, and i just added that like our sacrifices are so minor to parents and like what other people are making that like we are i and completely ready to do whatever it takes to get these demands mad. and he will not stop until our demands are not. and until we see, see, and housing and freedom in house. and, you know, the reason i'm just interested, are you seeing violence?

are you are 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 violets that we see is the violence of police and against us. we are peaceful. we were just edited cabinet. we for jamal, he signed 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 invaded the intestines called people cabinets of the ground. one of us was there strongly with the smoking they ran across the ground and subjected to the brutal treatment. so really, the only plans that receive is on the end of the police and also that kind of professors because you find the police guessing what kind of weight is. what are the chancellor? the chancellor? every minute or 3 days out there, we are pushing people over straight brain people with the type of sprint and tapping people in wheelchairs because you're not wheelchairs right behind this lineup police doing this, but we're a little refreshing. is our chancellor or cancel the be find him?

are people living the is rarely flag and holding a mirror flag? and with that, the only violence is the university is the police and is the counter professors. and i just want to say one more thing because you asked about this, i'm just, i'm and i just wanna say that i and yours and i had never once witnessed nor experienced any anti semitism, because movies are costing you literally say we are a little bit for democracy, for quality, for just this brother, i should be telling no thanks a patriot. i can't make the hatchet box services. we have many jewish people there, maybe us the c p and all the organizations argues, and the fact that they are using us. that'd be facebook, which isn't in our lease, but if you want to 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 an estimate and there are right of this whole thing about it. and

especially difficult washington are 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, is that right? pulled up. ok. 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. and i think the things that play here, 1st of all, i think uh, is there a, i've just gone like, you know, i think is relatively close a as in committing atrocities for 75 years. it's never gone. this is just a new fresh. so they still haven't power because they've been propelled by years uh, never being busted for their actions. and it's just, i think that every successful, they're a lot of we're sending okay, we're drive the line. now we have, we can see the information i was interested in seems information and we 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 sir a, but by a media perspective, it is not because it was kind of stuff, right. i want to play a clip for you of, for president donald trump commenting about all of you and get your reaction. let's listen. 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 has shown of the people who though they disagree with, but really it's just students standing up against the dentist. i mean, it was really fun. i rally a bunch of a bunch of people around development started,

can suggest life joe genocide, joe, he saw and looks back and then i him and he said they're not, they're not wrong. 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 that excess. so, you know, using, and i honestly don't really care with the things you've even do it for all i care. but it isn't using that is just try and use us do 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 were getting involved. so we are not the majority, we are, the majority of students were committed to deliveries and of allison. and you can see this by how many people turned up to support us. and by yes, all the in 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 like to go go ahead. yeah, the way that we are starting operations, but this whole i think you're just starting out there isn't about like you just have to understand the 2nd of all those 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 in and use barricade there were like that was so no one can use that space either way. but wow, just right now they're walking in the middle of this red zone. they have the right to the student barricades, all around the law, all around is black to protect the american class, and there are no u. 6, but it's numerous everywhere. there are security lights everywhere. there was like a mind resisted uh like uh, on the last campus. yeah. let me ask you just finally and very quickly um, 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 go by this agree with, but there's a line or if you're supporting this i, i'm not interested in talking to you, not the best like it, asking us like, what would you like to sit down with what menaces are in the united states on campus, 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. but there is what is the interest and forgivable. and you know, if we can move past the camera and the best bet will be good, you should. yeah, jacob, i'll give you the last word. but i would like to say one final thing to a chance or cancel or cancel, even though it's that it's on you. history will not remember you find the

history. remember you for your powerless reader and asked and figured subsidies and horrible atrocities and crimes against humanity. and also i want in so that i just need to know this. and i've also because you're choosing the summit to them. i just want to say that, but i want you to take my religion of your mans. well, hi simon jacob with 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 this sound

almost exactly like doing that, but i know that there might be the very can reduce to them. and i myself, i can think about this put in to put past it gets identified. i feel about being, are the moral can fit into moral compass about tennessee, physically and truly in october of last year. have been inspired and haughton by them. i really think back if you think moment in the history of us higher education actually giving you health and encouragement inspired by the student that we just heard a few, n b, but those right here. and just to me at the, at the night, the doctor to graphing you have just written a letter to the president of mit. your employer in boss are 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 see you back based on that symmetry and the weight in which a president. i mean, the reason i'm treat the students were protesting against the general side issues. those were support israel and it's constant. just slash choose a big group of faculty who are supporting us today. we met with the president and, and we've been, we're giving me actually and that because every people just meetings that we have time to spend that these products, they are fighting for something which is dear to the, to put them. i think logistics and they're putting a lot of risk and some of them have that many deputy too and got the what being murdered. so we have to understand where they're coming from. they're coming from

the place 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 frame the company basically is a contact process new it might be sponsored by the inside the government. and we had heard just a couple of weeks ago from none are the independent experiences on yahoo! describing the student was fighting against the general side. you describe was crowded as if they were like german ninety's in the 1930. i could not be given that the prime minister, actually, the graduates of it might be describing students was begging m i d to start a computer teen and don't hide describing them as if they were met the, and so forth. 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 in 2 weeks. good in an hour, but in fact, it's appropriate to get to the side. yeah, many jury students, so there's a group called m i g june, 4th, the fire inspector at present this morning. i think of it and there was some beautiful song couldn't keep room. and it may be just about despite logistics, especially the reason for being out there also thought we would do is community. so when she said that she needs to, that, that, this group, this is what this was for the project for the protection, for the support of our doing. just getting ready to minutes. typically you read you raise the joyce to them or also fighting for, but it's to me in my book, thanks again. 50. if you. so i was, they actually quite hurried despite the message because i, i've, i've been, we've been in the bath for 4 months. all right, then then i've heard the cries, i've had to obtain and for them to be re and she didn't even mention that they would probably expect even mention that,

but it's to me. and as if the thought that exist, you'll see end up paying the big fees, but the type of the fighting a gets a dignified pricing again and my deed, right. helping her daughter, michelle. one of the 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 authentically students. they are not authentically professors, 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 ironic using it. that is good because these professors are being instigated by what's it outside of my g? i haven't been here. i've been teaching here for 20, it's years and this and it's everything i've been getting. so i gotta keeps books

out. do you know that it's some of my favorite track is what it's called black meadows and the other one is called career languages and keeping identity. and in my class a couple of years ago, i had a student from penny sign. this has been tour. is it one of one of our projects with what's on the stand? the is 3 code that you choose between and what, what happened to hate? the h. as we have a way to genocide, we have to fight for only be ration west west states or do you many to rectify to get to the advisor. but we have lots of connections between 8 and 25 and then defense. we teach. right, to dictate this course and back my to as well. so kids about the reason about that and play them about occupation and as soon as through then i just put the best way i could profess it. i couldn't be teaching about maybe risk. i'm getting about digging like this and, and i see students in the forefront of actual be there isn't actually because like, based on and then 23 not. and 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. but the kitchen, the content, mad, you know, the content delivery to the building. 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 where police pinions you're trying to use if they want to join us. the. ready truth tend build, then you something new together, the future love and before everyone actually, when they minutes, when they talked about police 10 would be free from the re book a dispute. what they mean is that what he's doing in will do this. they still treated as the class citizens. they want them to be like it, frankly, they want them to have freedom and just if i'm going to be the dispute, 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 take it on yahoo for these moments. you see because it doesn't yahoo! it's a bit like a trunk. you see, for example from columbine. if you've country because it's a cool country because 18 to country. but the truck has been so clear about his patriot, both a black people, for example, for african. right. and if it's something that we've been cutting out now, goes on creatures to call. but it's janine to them and the allies fighting against the dentist bag when it, when you compare them to the not the it's showing that's clearly what he said about . it's probably about protecting jewish people talking about, you know, and i think interesting because then it's about ro power. right? and it's clear that he doesn't care about jewish people because if he did, he would have kids come to this thing back. a good number to reach students. what line with the students from buddies, banks,

events from the africa. and they told me, you know, he's also asking for an in to these them to do to patient. so we cannot open a hard to depend on one group, then truce a heart beat up your group if you so when, when, when it gets within who caused good, it might be. if you put something out, can be open. this type of bad. this can get the rhetoric of a history that 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 community except bothering with the fact that it needs reading the school system. big just that there is a children that to be out to paper this can you from the, from a very young age. in fact, the jacket paper called the notification of british canyon and append to what you know he's doing now when he's going on. peter, what he's doing in god that is showing us the clearly the fact that he's capable of

your dental side and it's up to you. so if i'm just not what we should go back to the history of a history of the treaty center, this be typical. got me here. i mean, i have begun, you know, he's been close spent, you know, these deep human aviation opinion and cutting them instead of cutting them pre kept cutting them all kinds of terrible names. do you mean anything them, if something you've seen right, facebook, they've, they've had it, i never would know, and it's an entire society that's different. this problem is that of up to committee, that gives you notes. you try to do is you're less that you see, and let's go ahead and defend that. so what kids, for example, but like by the dimensions about the history of the direction, to get the american citizen to spend 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 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 and the so thank you for giving them as boys to express the, the deep span of morality. interesting that week because of the faculty need to be inspired by any to we need to basically take it 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 boy caught accidents 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 not leave 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 a hundreds of officers closing in on the area where the students have been protesting against israel for them guys for almost 2 weeks. they also want the university to stop investing in companies. they say profit from east rails war. some of the students tried to prevent the police from entering the university, one by one. they were arrested. the police then waited hamilton on their objective to detain. the students who had fabricated themselves inside. they broke a window and entered view of the 1st floor. candles broke out on behalf of the

students were evicted from the whole. dozens were arrested. even the students that with the teens, nobody is resting. and we will not stop until columbia in the columbia university is a place that inspired a movement across the united states to demand an end to the world. got her. many of the students would have spoken to are saying that whatever happens next, the students of columbia university have already made history. this is to talk is the 1st country in the world to develop a comprehensive, sustainable tourism program. in partnership with the global, sustainable tourism comes village life here retains its charles. every meal is like a feast from the farm to the tape, hundreds of excavations and restoration. this country is a place to slow down and enjoy the simple things coming to discover the natural, historical and cultural beauties. in these read sandlewood is one of the world's

most expensive tibits in the black box, and try it has different mice and foreign one on one asian investigates the fight to capture india, sandlewood king on out hundreds of officers closing in on the area where the students have been protesting against israel for them guys for almost 2 weeks. they also want the university to stop investing in companies. they say profit from a swales war. some of the students try to prevent the police from entering the university, one by one. they were arrested. the police then rated hamilton hall and their objective to detain. the students who had fabricated themselves inside they broke a window an end to view the 1st floor. candles broke out on the capital, the students were evicted from the dozens were arrested. even the students that were detained, nobody is resting, and we will not stop until columbia and it's our demand. columbia university, it's a place that inspired a movement across the united states to demand an end to the world. got how many of

the students would have spoken to are saying that whatever happens next, the students of columbia university have already made history. the, the more is really destruction in gaza. nice these 5 talks between how much and custody addiction and us mediators continue entitled the time about this. and this is obviously a life from don't have also coming up. the positive is really is protests instead of the calling for a cease fire and the release of captains being held in god's attorney cheng and east to me. and my with.
