RUSH TRANSCRIPT At George ░░░░░░░░ university this morning in ░░░░░░░░ C one of dozens ░░░░░░░░ campuses where we have ░░░░░░░░ protesters refuse to leave ░░░░░░░░ So far officials have ░░░░░░░░ taken any action to ░░░░░░░░ this group of protesters ░░░░░░░░ were opposing demonstrations at ░░░░░░░░ diversity as well This ░░░░░░░░ a pro Israel group ░░░░░░░░ Israeli flags and pictures ░░░░░░░░ hostages held a rally ░░░░░░░░ blocks away from a ░░░░░░░░ Palestinian demonstration The two ░░░░░░░░ did not confront each ░░░░░░░░ or cross paths D ░░░░░░░░ mayor is defending her ░░░░░░░░ not to send him ░░░░░░░░ saying that the protests ░░░░░░░░ g w have remained ░░░░░░░░ Joining me now is ░░░░░░░░ software she s A ░░░░░░░░ at George Washington who ░░░░░░░░ spoken out against the ░░░░░░░░ Semitism that she has ░░░░░░░░ on campus and displayed ░░░░░░░░ these protests are thanks ░░░░░░░░ being here You call ░░░░░░░░ of the demonstrators entitled ░░░░░░░░ privilege and their calls ░░░░░░░░ humanitarian aid when they ░░░░░░░░ in these demonstrations and ░░░░░░░░ Tell me more You ░░░░░░░░ having me and this ░░░░░░░░ part about humanitarian aid ░░░░░░░░ comes from after that ░░░░░░░░ student from Columbia voice ░░░░░░░░ she wanted humanitarian aid ░░░░░░░░ be brought to the ░░░░░░░░ and this really got ░░░░░░░░ thinking about how these ░░░░░░░░ are using Hamas like ░░░░░░░░ to accomplish a sort ░░░░░░░░ Hamas like goal in ░░░░░░░░ reading zionists Israelis and ░░░░░░░░ Jews because 90 percent ░░░░░░░░ Jews are zionists from ░░░░░░░░ and what s happening ░░░░░░░░ Is that first of ░░░░░░░░ they re establishing demands ░░░░░░░░ are absolutely irrational such ░░░░░░░░ having the administration denounce ░░░░░░░░ is announcing Jerusalem as ░░░░░░░░ eternal capital of Palestine ░░░░░░░░ divesting from Israel All ░░░░░░░░ these aren t really ░░░░░░░░ demands nor what a ░░░░░░░░ administration should be taking ░░░░░░░░ that kind of parallels ░░░░░░░░ sort of irrational demand ░░░░░░░░ rejection isn t that ░░░░░░░░ makes and especially when ░░░░░░░░ administrators try to negotiate ░░░░░░░░ these individuals It becomes ░░░░░░░░ difficult So that s ░░░░░░░░ first step and then ░░░░░░░░ happened on my campus ░░░░░░░░ Columbia s campus and ░░░░░░░░ many others is that ░░░░░░░░ protesters are staging riots ░░░░░░░░ are breaking buildings and ░░░░░░░░ it starts from the ░░░░░░░░ but it escalates So ░░░░░░░░ sort of violence is ░░░░░░░░ But it s it ░░░░░░░░ very much parallels in ░░░░░░░░ protests and then at ░░░░░░░░ end of that when ░░░░░░░░ are getting held accountable ░░░░░░░░ re spreading misinformation about ░░░░░░░░ s really going on ░░░░░░░░ that administrators are being ░░░░░░░░ aggressive with them when ░░░░░░░░ re simply trying to ░░░░░░░░ them Macau Claiming that ░░░░░░░░ peaceful they re claiming ░░░░░░░░ they need humanitarian aid ░░░░░░░░ be brought to them ░░░░░░░░ this culture victimization coming ░░░░░░░░ a culture of destructive ░░░░░░░░ is a very much ░░░░░░░░ Hamas like tactic and ░░░░░░░░ think it s very ░░░░░░░░ for them and the ░░░░░░░░ community So I m ░░░░░░░░ see Now but I ░░░░░░░░ look to the past ░░░░░░░░ what bread this sort ░░░░░░░░ culture and then in ░░░░░░░░ future if this is ░░░░░░░░ to continue in our ░░░░░░░░ system What are our ░░░░░░░░ leaders going to look ░░░░░░░░ New York s mayor ░░░░░░░░ a picture of students ░░░░░░░░ radicalized by outside groups ░░░░░░░░ if I m here ░░░░░░░░ for their actions What ░░░░░░░░ happen for students informed ░░░░░░░░ ill informed taking part ░░░░░░░░ these demonstrations that are ░░░░░░░░ peaceful bitter unlawful Are ░░░░░░░░ school policies must be ░░░░░░░░ of all warned and ░░░░░░░░ if they don t ░░░░░░░░ the policies suspended and ░░░░░░░░ happened I g w ░░░░░░░░ students were suspended but ░░░░░░░░ those same seven remained ░░░░░░░░ the encampment So that ░░░░░░░░ problematic because they re ░░░░░░░░ on school prom pretty ░░░░░░░░ even though they re ░░░░░░░░ allowed to go to ░░░░░░░░ You never know when ░░░░░░░░ same students can collaborate ░░░░░░░░ outside agitators and then ░░░░░░░░ another wave of writing ░░░░░░░░ violence because we never ░░░░░░░░ know and somebody can ░░░░░░░░ do something But what ░░░░░░░░ really think needs to ░░░░░░░░ done is for students ░░░░░░░░ are continually violating the ░░░░░░░░ policies they need to ░░░░░░░░ I think expelled End ░░░░░░░░ the day it s ░░░░░░░░ unfortunate and I m ░░░░░░░░ conflicted about this matter ░░░░░░░░ I understand that putting ░░░░░░░░ police to remove the ░░░░░░░░ could cause a lot ░░░░░░░░ uproar But at the ░░░░░░░░ of the day when ░░░░░░░░ break the law in ░░░░░░░░ breaking school policy there ░░░░░░░░ to be accountability No ░░░░░░░░ way around that You ░░░░░░░░ have said that the ░░░░░░░░ need to be treated ░░░░░░░░ adults must be expelled ░░░░░░░░ they shouldn t be ░░░░░░░░ to graduate graduate and ░░░░░░░░ also went on to ░░░░░░░░ no one should hire ░░░░░░░░ Do not think that ░░░░░░░░ should get a second ░░░░░░░░ and be heard I ░░░░░░░░ these these students who ░░░░░░░░ being violent and aggressive ░░░░░░░░ the ones at Columbia ░░░░░░░░ are essentially acting like ░░░░░░░░ and I don t ░░░░░░░░ how any company can ░░░░░░░░ a student like this ░░░░░░░░ students are already There ░░░░░░░░ adults they are I ░░░░░░░░ most of them are ░░░░░░░░ the age of 18 ░░░░░░░░ They really take the ░░░░░░░░ to get d radicalized ░░░░░░░░ an educated on a ░░░░░░░░ values I don t ░░░░░░░░ see how they can ░░░░░░░░ properly and it s ░░░░░░░░ very unfortunate I am ░░░░░░░░ saying this out of ░░░░░░░░ rage I m really ░░░░░░░░ is I I feel ░░░░░░░░ and I I Just ░░░░░░░░ don t think that ░░░░░░░░ is any promise of ░░░░░░░░ getting d radicalize if ░░░░░░░░ s not a foundational ░░░░░░░░ in our education system ░░░░░░░░ pertains to the faculty ░░░░░░░░ I really do see ░░░░░░░░ as the root of ░░░░░░░░ issue and what about ░░░░░░░░ students who are not ░░░░░░░░ in either of these ░░░░░░░░ anywhere on your campus ░░░░░░░░ We not hearing enough ░░░░░░░░ those those students and ░░░░░░░░ Or they re afraid ░░░░░░░░ speak out but I ░░░░░░░░ think that most are ░░░░░░░░ trying to focus on ░░░░░░░░ studies Even me as ░░░░░░░░ student who is very ░░░░░░░░ on campus all I ░░░░░░░░ is to just finish ░░░░░░░░ finals have a great ░░░░░░░░ to the rest of ░░░░░░░░ year but I think ░░░░░░░░ those who are just ░░░░░░░░ quietly trying to avoid ░░░░░░░░ whole protest kind of ░░░░░░░░ because it is scary ░░░░░░░░ mean you never know ░░░░░░░░ something could erupt in ░░░░░░░░ violence could could occur ░░░░░░░░ yeah I think that ░░░░░░░░ is it s kind ░░░░░░░░ a 20 twenty and ░░░░░░░░ sixty percent in the ░░░░░░░░ who are kind of ░░░░░░░░ thinking that this whole ░░░░░░░░ is ridiculous out What ░░░░░░░░ thought at school too ░░░░░░░░ in some cases graduating ░░░░░░░░ having to balance All ░░░░░░░░ this sabrina thanks for ░░░░░░░░ here, appreciate you sharing your
