5:04 am
mass graves in gaza. more than 300 bodies were discovered on the grounds of naso hospital in con, units in the south volk, a turkish calling for an independent investigation. i mean what, it's called a climate of impunity. witnesses say some of the victims were killed during these really, caesar at the hospital, civil defense officials say hundreds more, are buried in the medical complex. meanwhile, the number of protest in solidarity with palestinian said to us colleges and universities is growing. students from massachusetts to california are calling for institutions to cut ties with companies that profit from israel as well on guys. christian slow may report some new york, hundreds of students from new york university gathered in a park off campus to denounce israel's actions and n y use administrators. they say are suppressing voice is critical of israel. they're angry, police arrested over 100 protesters on monday night after students and teachers
5:05 am
defied orders to leave a school, plaza, or face consequences. the arrested have been made the attempts to stifle the x out of the expression are ludicrous there. instead of go to the goals of university and so number one, i think they need to stop suppressing the free conversation that's happening. that's clearly background of all the students and a lot of faculty on tuesday, pro palestinian actions and rallies sprung up at lower universities across the united states, including the university of michigan, the university of minnesota and the university of california berkeley at new york's columbia university. where this latest wave of protest began, students were kept out for a 7th street day a week that has seen hundreds of arrests there as well. we should also note that it's not just the police universities also suspended the students without any kind of due process. many of the students have been evicted from the dormitories
5:06 am
dormitories that they pay for some giving us 15 minutes to gather their belongings . and so overall it's been a draconian punitive response to these protests and the situation that really doesn't, meredith, there's no justification for this when students are really just sitting on a lawn, doing their homework. students are demanding universities cut, financial ties with companies that profit from israel's occupation of palestine at n y u. that includes lockheed martin the us weapons manufacturer, who's weapons are used by the israeli military, general electric, which makes engines for the israeli military and caterpillar, the construction machinery giant, whose products are used in demolitions of palestinian homes. also, cisco, which supplies telecommunications networks for israel often in illegal settlements . many students are reluctant to be identified for fear of recriminations from universities who come under pressure from pro israel donors and politicians who
5:07 am
claim the protests are anti semitic. demonstrators including some jewish students, deny accusations of anti semitism. at new york university and columbia university. they even stopped to celebrate pass over. they blamed individuals who are affiliated with their movements for inflammatory language. new york's marriage says a police presence is necessary to protect students against outside agitators. there are people who come have nothing to do with the issue and they want to aggravate. but n y u students and faculty say that the demonstrations were peaceful until the police arrived christian salumi out to 0 new york. well, let's discuss this further. now with that, why the site who is a professor of law and dean's faculty fellow at the university of colorado school of law, he's joining us from boulder, colorado. thank you very much for your time. thank you for speaking to us on algae 0. can you, i guess start off by telling us about the situation on your campus,
5:08 am
what's been the interactions between police and protesting students there? so far there hasn't been too much here. there's been some protest activity, but it's at a low level, nothing. nothing compared to what's going on at columbia or n, y u or various other universities around the country. yeah. but the issue is people's minds, right? indeed it is. i mean, they've been months and months of actions from students over the war on gaza. what is behind you think this new momentum in the movement in support of the people of guys are and why have these tensions that we've seen on campuses including and why you, columbia bubbled over in recent days? well, i think as a general matter, what we're seeing is that there is a great deal of the agitation on behalf of palestine and palestinians,
5:09 am
people, students, and faculty and staff at universities are quite horrified. i think in the main as to what's going on and gaza, you know, accounts of a plausible genocide, according to the world port. numerous un reports. so kind of neutral, well established, credible sources pointing out what we're seeing on our screens every day, which is on, on remitting and unrelenting scenes of har. and i think students who have been showing a great deal of courage, their cross sectional, they're representing all different types of groups, palestinians, you know, americans of all walks of life, jewish americans, etc, have been particularly alarmed. and i think that appalled by the fact that universities in general have been reluctant to reluctant to support
5:10 am
their right to protest. they don't have to support their position or take or take up their position or endorse their position, but their actual, their, their feelings on the issue in their will. and their willingness and desire to express solidarity has been at many campuses repressed columbia. why is that? why, why is that? why has the response from university officials been sold? draconian did politics. american policy take takes is that info and seeing these university officials to respond in the way they have real life. and yes, of course, i mean there is the specter looming and we've seen it and we've seen it in action of this kind of politically motivated, congressional hearing, which is meant to kind of humiliate administrators into admitting that they're somehow anti semitic by not cracking down on pro palestinian protests with the requisite amount of force and sanctions, etc. and you see how this,
5:11 am
this situation has led to students who are not, you know, the 1st amendment is kind of the hallmark freedom. that america, you know, what's forth as how it sees itself in the world is the home of freedom of speech. and when you see that being that being curtailed based on the viewpoint discrimination which is, you know, kind of a, it was something that's supposed to be not allowed under the 1st amendment. and you see university administrators kind of selectively applying that against pro palestinian protest. you see the response by the students has been to double down and to insist on their right to protest in solidarity after all, what they're protesting is in fact a genocide where new horrors, just kind of a you know, new hires up here every day they, they occur every day and we're now we're running about mass graves, hospitals, so the, the, the fuel for this is the ongoing situation in gaza and administrators don't seem to
5:12 am
be interested in. um, don't seem to be interested in allowing students to express these views. right. and it's interesting that you talk about, of course, of the fact that this has re ignited the debate about how universities can support and protect students' rights to, to free speech wide. also ensuring you know, as a fit and an inclusive environment. there's a whole debate around that right now, but i wanted to ask you about where you think this movement is going ahead. of course, you know, there's a history of protests on, on american campuses that dates back to, to many decades ago. the war in vietnam will recall ignited the protest movement that helped define a generation and actually accelerated the withdrawal of us troops from the region. the war. and guys are you think 2 of the same duties protests have the potential to impact policy? you know, so i think on a popular level, what we're seeing is support for
5:13 am
a ceasefire among the american population at large is very high. and so and the, the, the sort of support for the palestinian cause has never been higher in this country . and we're seeing that reflected most acutely in the student protests. what i think is most alarming goods to go directly to your question about whether this will affect change. what we're seeing is from the main stream media and from kind of from politicians, whether from present biting on downs is a, you know, a kind of a very rapid and, and sort of almost automatic response that seeks to equate these protests with anti semitism. and which is like, which is, i think, in many ways absurd, given that so many of the protests are themselves are jewish. and in fact, right now in new york, outside of university setting, there's a, there's a protest going on by various jewish organizations demanding
5:14 am
a cease fire. so i think what we're seeing is the sort of the, the main stream media and the government want to paint a picture of campuses as wildly unsafe for jewish students. because these protests are meant or motivated by anti semitism. and the protesters themselves are desperately trying to, you know, put out messages for a cease fire against genocide, etc. and say that these, this issue of anti semitism is being used against them to repress their voices. when this is a pluralistic, multi uh, sort of multi sect toral move in for cease fire and piece not to make campuses unsafe for any group of people based on their identity. thank you so much. profess aside for talking to us why the size is professor of law at the university of colorado school of law joining us different boulder. we appreciate your time. thank you. so thank you very much. i'll protest that also being held in tel aviv,

definitely an impact on no style for you might also have seen over there now stuff today. so they have been opinion poured and also whizzing the population in the west. mike, i need no gaza. there is a deep anxiety. is that if the, the agency is a discount or that would this would also put an end to the 2 state solution. i was just say pretty console last week. and basically i told the member that the at talk to on want have nothing to do. we started to try to, to issues, but in reality, that motivated by the objective to street the defense team and uh, from the refugee state, use the us senate as fast and $95000000.00 aid package providing a to ukraine. and israel humanitarian relief for guys as well as a $1000000000.00 for security and taiwan. part of that package is a provision that could lead to

5:22 am
americans are service men and women, and our u. s. government personnel. currently the chinese communist party is able to gain unlimited access to the account information of tick tock users. if it's so choose, is else with the director of the f b, i added his voice to the tick tock, debate, tick, tock for us represents a national security concern. and the reason i say that is that take tax parent company is beholden to the chinese government. and so when people, when americans stop and think about, how do they feel about the, the power, the access, the capability to control the tick tock has they need to be thinking about it in terms of how they feel about that same power access capability control in the hands of take talks, parents in chinese government and ultimately in the chinese intelligence services. the chinese elements of tick tock coming given 9 months in which to sell the
