Off to mass release is a video of a 23 year old is right and captive the hello and welcome to the program a week off the students at Columbia University in new york stepped up the campaign in support of palestine protest against israels war on gauze of sprite to College Campuses. Across the United States, hundreds of students held a city and that the university of Southern California, police and Campus Security arrested dozens of those who refused to leave. Hours earlier in the white house at President Joe Biden supports free speech and non discrimination at universities. Address areas, reynolds was there, is the police moved into clear out, protest is at the university of Southern California over here now look, the police are chasing some of the students now in that direction. Lets move over in that area. Show you whats going on. The police have literally surrounded students on all sides of this grassy quadrangle in the center of the us see campus previously there was a just hours of peaceful protests, no violence on the part of the students whatsoever. As far as i could see. Now the police are almost rounded themselves by shouting and changing the somebody throwing something the now the students are throwing water on the i dont see anybody taken into custody, but there are all the leak. You have their zip ties that the now there is one person who spends apparently and talk the letter way. Why the a role spoke to jody on the professor flor usc, and he was saying that anti semitism shouldnt be weaponized. And we have lots of juries and muslims, and palestinian and catholic. I am privacy to intergenerational coming together. The everybody should hate anti semitism and fight anti semitism, but be opposed to israel slaughter and gaza. That its, that the union is said that it may possibly be genocide does not, does not mean that youre anti submitted and the need to stop allowing people to weaponized anti semitism against real valid protests. Now there is christian salumi has moved from the Columbia University in new york. What the student demonstrations began last week. The Columbia University officials facing mounting criticism from all sides over its handling of student demonstrators. Prominent republican politicians after meeting with some jewish students on campus called on the University President to resign as colombia has allowed these lawless agitators and radicals to take over. The virus of anti semitism is spread across other campuses by some counts as many as 200 universities have a similar form or protest right now. Students who faced arrest in suspension say theyre the ones who need protection. Many are afraid to show their face. Theres definitely a fear of, you know, being attacked and, and the risk of like losing Career Opportunities and stuff, which is really a shame that people willing to, you know, advocate for human rights are smeared in such a way. Nevertheless, they are vowing to continue their encampment. Student organizers say they have 3 demands for the university. Number one, disclose their investments in israel, number 2, divest from them. And number 3, provide amnesty for students who have been suspended. They say they wont leave the grounds until that happens. Many have compared their actions to what happened on campus in 1968, when columbia students held students to demand and to the universities connection to the vietnam war. And were arrested sparking nationwide demonstrations credited with us as eventually withdrawal from the war. And the students do have the support of many jewish students and faculty, and i do not feel that this project is anti semitic in any way. I do feel that the students are highly critical of israeli politics. And i do not believe that that is inherently anti semitic at all. And i do not feel threatened as a jewish faculty member in any way, by whats happening here on this campus, except by the arrest of many of our students. The university has warned students to take down there and cabman by friday morning, or based on specified consequences. Christian. So the me, ill just hear of new york. Right as well. The other colleges in the us as well. Theres been a launch police force deployed in austin, texas. The there was news in the state troop is going to despise crowds. Several people were arrested at university of texas. They said that the protest was an authorized hundreds of students interested in the us since friday. Jeremy sir, is a professor of Global Leadership history and public policy, and he says that the crackdown is threatened. Strengthening solidarity among the protest is similar to the Anti War Movement of the 19 sixtys. The irony is that this kind of behavior by the police only increases the resolve of students. I cannot tell you how many students more than 15 to 20 that i spoke with, who i saw at this event. Some of my students, i know were students who are apathetic or may have even been favorable to the israeli side in the arguments. And they see the Police Acting this way. And it leads them to become more radical. And this is the story of the 19 sixtys and our society were replying that when the Police Attack students in this way, it makes other students sympathized with those were attacked. Not the attackers. I believe that University President s, including my own at the university of texas, are afraid they are afraid that they are going to be criticized and condemned by politicians by the governor of texas by members of congress. Theyre, theyre afraid theyre going to be condemned for allowing anti semitism and im against anti semitism to on jewish myself. So i think anti semitism is horrible when there has been too much of it. But this, the president s are over reacting. And what theyre doing is theyre creating an environment in which no one is allowed to say anything that sounds critical in any way of israel or any other topic. And theyre making it impossible for students to express themselves. And we want to move on to our top story. The sound of the white house is described reports of mass graves and goes, there is deeply disturbing European Union and the United Nations have joined International Calls for an independent, proven to whats happened on wednesday. Now the 51 bodies were found in the grounds of a hospital in hong eunice move in 300 bodies have been discovered since not today. Hospitals of course have protection under international law, but they faced heavy bombardment since israels war on guns has started in october. The Us National Security advisor Jake Sullivan says washington once own says, i need your counselor has more in this from washington to Us National Security advisor Jake Sullivan had sharp words about reports of the mass graves discovered in gaza. Well, those reports were deeply disturbing. We have been in touch at multiple levels with the israeli government. We want answers, we want to understand exactly what happened. Youve seen some public commentary from the adf on that, but we want to know the specifics of what the circumstances of this were. And we want to see this thoroughly and transparently investigated so that the whole world can have a comprehensive answer and we, the United States can as well, i cant speak beyond that because of course, were in the early days of fully understanding what happened. Whats been missing from the us response is any call for an independent investigation into the mass graves. That is in contrast to the u. N. And to the you that have both said, there must be an independent investigation. Not just one conducted by israel alone. We are gravely concerned by the, by the report, the discovery of most grace in the founding needs. I mean, ill, she follow speed, obviously something that the forces us to call for an independent investigation of older suspicions and all the circumstances. Because indeed it to create the impression that there might have been violations of International Human rights committed. That is why its important to have independent investigation and to ensure the accountability of the u. S. Has emphasized that answers are needed from israel. But on wednesday, President Joe Biden signed into law yet another us aid package to the is rarely military. Heidi jo castro, alger 0, washington, or Palestinian John list mohammed creek air has been reporting on the war on gaza. But hes now covering a personal tragedy. His mother was killed by is riley forces when they rage at the ill shift the hospital in march for the a connor puts on this. And remembering happier times, how much correct here with his mother 9 that was in that you know, most especially felt them on when is really forces withdrew from our chief a hospital after a 2 weeks each. He finally learned her face according this what and what kind of so from the in some women had told me that they saw my mother here asking for help when the time, when i got here i found a buddy. I knew immediately, even before it recognizes that it was my mother. I went close uh and i saw her lying. The covet as if she was sleeping. It was as if she was a sleep at home. So i said, wake up maam. Im here. The witnesses say these ready army killed people who were sheltering at the hospital. And so this one, remember seeing name is body legit. Lemme just put them in and it was arrested early in the day advise ready forces for interrogation. They released me in the evening and the monthly, but i still have body was already wearing my on the wire. And i also these really sold to allow me to go home and put on my clothes. He refused and said, do you want to lose your life . Like this woman, i refused to leave guys a city without in the habit who was covering the war. She was one of thousands who took refuge and you guys as big as hospital complex, hoping to escape the relentless is really a tax goodness the i dont fully but the how i wished i could see her when she was looking for me to hook up to take her with me away from danger and that was you. Her face was unrecognizable and thats how cool people told me she was executed by these randy Ministry Heads that they should have helped. I was the only son. It was so hard for me to see how like this. Now on the hand that has left his memories of his mother and questions about who if anyone will be held accountable for killing her. For the car, which is 0 and have been or as rainy as strikes and rough in southern gauze, one of the strikes had a house in the oven account, ending at least one pass and in wounding several others. They rushed to hospital and now the strike hit a building near a un clinic. I was just there as tarik, i assume was at the quite the hospital when the injured before and he sent us this reports as more sold in rough or the is very minute tree attack. So the goal is a strip has completely rammed up as a residential house was completely destroyed in the refuge account as it calculated right now, the injuries are receiving right now treatments in a way to hospital as the boss majority of casualties amongst abilities. Now, this is the area where the majority of jobs, this population has been told to stay and to remain done would have to guarantee the own safety pump. We can clearly record an exam. When does the past couple of weeks is play such a feasible yet tax ones that very densely populated area in light of the anticipated meditation cogent that will be carried out by the is very minute treat within the coming days. That is the situation right now with the ground, this kind of city, you know, where left to go start of a zoom out, just a rough, rough kind of story and i didnt from i think it is a james base, spoke to you and seeing if you minutes having and reconstruction coordinator for gaza. Sigrid colleague, she spoke to us about the humanitarian situation in rough. Uh, let me ask you about the city of rough. Uh, the very southern end of the cause. This trip on the border with egypt, normal population 270000. 00 people. Now more than 5 times that number, living there about 1500000 palestinians. What are the conditions that like now a well overcrowding thought of people daytime either looking for food or trying to find water or perhaps go to the sea to wash themselves or their clothes. Um, every week you go or every 2 weeks ive been to see uh an increased number of tents. The roads are as a result also uh, blocked. People are just desperately trying to get by. You know, i, i, i imagine at the moment, if youre in garza as many policies and guys have told me when im living, we feel like zombies were just trying to get through the day and the day is spent on trying to get the food queuing for water, and if youre very lucky, maybe once a week or once a month starting to get a very low line to get a very limited amount of cash that you actually need to buy anything else.
