protest is from a building on the campus of columbia university bringing a day long stand off to it. and the rate came at the request of the university president off the students defined and ultimate, them to back down will be expelled. this is the moment but its officers inside go preached columbia university's hamilton hold because it says it had no choice but to authorize the read to restore safety and order pro palestinian students and thinking over the building for more than 24 hours. good bye to get it themselves inside and hung about no renaming the building, hence holding up for a 6 year old by letting them go. gillian,
5:07 pm
gaza. dozens of those board as does i'd be interested yet they remain defiant. the board amount of these do the groups from columbia to withdrawal investment funds from companies supporting israel as government and i'm this people, students and faculty disciplined over the broadest high major students. so i feel like it's especially important for me to express my concern about palestinian life has been suffering because i kind of critically stand against the idea that jewish people can not be pro palestine. i. i think that design isn't like insights on anti zionism and anti semitism are not the same thing. and human life deserves to be protected. the burdens has alt will be expiring,
5:08 pm
well vandalism, and looking access to the building. these pictures are used by the universities, both person to damage to the occupied building. the, the, the police action of columbia comes exactly 56 years of our officers slept into the hamilton hollow to arrest board, just as occupying the building and 1968 back then they had taken over the whole and other campus buildings to protest racism. and the vietnam or columbia university has requested police presence under may 17 that's duties of the university's graduation sermon to do it with student groups vowed to continue the process despite the track down. meanwhile, violence is also broken out on campus at the university of california. los angeles,
5:09 pm
when content protest is half attacked, demonstrate to supporting palestinians that have been confrontations at the pro palestinian camp. and police have responded to the u. c. l, a source code for support. the university has also increased security in the area colleges around the us. i've been struggling to contain similar protests on thousands of campuses. brother cohen is a professor of social science education at new york university. and he told us what spot these protests and why they became so big on us campuses. a concern about the escalation of the war and gaza and the use of american military aid for this. as for the war and the all the depths of civilians, i think, particularly with social media, students have found out about this very quickly. and they're very concerned about the use of american military aid for, for bombing and killing of civilians. it's,
5:10 pm
you know, there's images of children that are dying, and i think that's the main reason why this, this burst out. and then the administration's response was initially to non violent protests, you know, slipping down and, and getting pressure from congress and donors on the ministrations of colleges to shut these down. that's like the initial columbia arrest the for the building occupation that, that was really helped to publicize this and to bring the city further, the pension of students across the country. and this has been spreading across the country like wildfire. now that all was, and injustices and civilian casualties and several places around the world. some of these was being a fault with us and other western weapons. and some of them a long lost and why is it that the current conflict in gaza and spies such outrage among us students or? well, i think it's because of the, you know, the fact that so many civilians have been dying and it's very been very much out there on and the news media and,
5:11 pm
and social media. i think that feeling of and by the way, also remember that was the sort of a smaller pro palestinian cell every move that the sense for just the palestine has been on college campus since since the 19 ninety's. it didn't really get much traction beyond a small group. what really, i'm really you have had to explode. was this more and, and the civilian deaths in a way you could say and apparel away the sixty's where, you know bull connor the races police here when he and when he attacked the m. okay . in the, the end to where the, if they raise it, protest in birmingham, you know, with police dogs and fire hoses. i could nothing yahoo is kind of that kind of figure in terms of people's public perception. and i think that the best organizer that these protested pad is benjamin. nothing yahoo inadvertently. so, but that's nonetheless now that also happen to have to submit to the tones and expressions of solidarity with extra mist organizations. should that be worrying? oh yeah, i think it's, we're, and i think people who engage in such
5:12 pm
a bigoted behaviors should be held accountable. but there has been a kind of a attempt us to smear the entire movement. that is to say that all these protest or are hateful and things i submit again, and that's just not true. i mean here then while you are, the protesters were arrested non for non bentley occupying a plaza in front of the of the business school had just had their passover seder when the rest were happening. so to say that they're, you know, anti semitic, and yet they have jewish student activism. they came in here, they're having a say, there is a bit, you know, it's, it's just doesn't add up. and that's not to deny that there has been a problem that they semitism. but i think that's more of a kind of fringe piece of this that you know, needs. and again, any of those asked and slurs and slander isn't certainly physical assaults, of people should be held accountable. and, and, you know, with the process of punish difficulty of that. but i think the attempt to people in congress and the donors to say these protests don't have to be, you know, they're non violent, then on disruptive, have to be suppressed. that's what kind of bizarre cherry response. and i think
5:13 pm
using the have a semitism issue in a way that's, that's really not accurate. and that's just a way of sort of a suppressing something that we don't like and on the university campus. where are you supposed to have the free exchange of ideas? that's a really bad model and wouldn't turn that's happened is you know, if the speaker of the house and of you, your call is when to call the columbia university, with a delegation of congressman sent congress. but the commercial representative saying, the president, the columbia should resign, is as if she had been tough enough. and, and so they didn't even though they rested over a 100 demonstrators. and so what you get here is a, a cycle of escalation. and that's how you got what i think was a really unwise and really trying to take over the ministration, building of damage university property that wasn't happening initially. and i think the other thing i want to say, universities, one of the problems is they're not govern democratically. we may not, the university may not and probably won't want to disaster holdings a different action, israel. but you should have
5:14 pm
a democratic process. where do you think even the one private university students are not on the board of trustees, they get to make their case. they get to be heard even at the trustees or can say no or at least get a hearing and a brown university. that method was used and the protest ended, in other words, the university and say what the best they just said, okay. you know, do a presentation of it will listen to you and will decide. so there is a way to de escalate this. and unfortunately, that didn't happen to columbia because i think a very inexperience president who didn't really know how to handle these protests, rather combat professor social studies education at n y u and new york. thank you very much. you're welcome. you're watching. the news is a reminder of our top story. you a secretary of state and the blinking has met with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu in jerusalem. the preston if y'all to boost the flow of age into gaza. and he also urged from us to accept to cease 5 proposals in exchange for the release of the remaining hostage said from me. and the news
