be clear about this as well. there should be no place on any campus, no place in america for enter semitism or threats of violence against jewish students. there is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind, whether it's and i summit as a, from a phobia or discrimination against arab americans or problems, sending americans simply wrong. there's no place for racism in america. they w correspondent, benjamin, as well as group in new york, told me more about what the president said, a yeah, emphasized importance of peaceful protests in the us and said that there are 2 american principles that are put to the test here on one side and freedom of expression and also if a peaceful protest on the other side and the rule of law saying that both of them need to be upheld when he finished this remarks and was about to leave the oval office where he gave his remarks. he was asked if the approaches that ecologist across the country would lead to changes the policies in the region. he said no, and he was also ask if a national guard should intervene something for example,
9:03 pm
speaker of the house. and mike johnson ask for when he visited columbia university a few days ago, something the president biden also is said, no saying that he would not ask a national guard to intervene on his this presidential intervention likely to have any effect. students are allowed to continue their protest as i say, the many of the administrations of the university. so i know the best thing from is rarely a companies that according to them, are profiting from israel's war in gaza. we have commencement coming up huge events at the university, so we can expect and protest to continue then in the end, it's also a problem when it comes to public resources that we will look at columbia university for example. we have police officers, several of them on security guards, guarding the or intern system. the question is how long that will continue. also, you see a lady in los angeles where police entered interested in many of those where and being company, it's a matter of resources to for how long that can be. it police officers on college
9:04 pm
campuses. but we can expect this protest also to continue brown university as a private institution in the state of rhode island. when it's students demonstrations against israel's actions in gaza and called on the university to divest from israel university or thursday said let's talk about task. bought 12 is a professor of holocaust and genocide, studies at brown. and he explained to me how the administration convinced the students to and that protest as well. thank you for support for having me. and i am glad that the bronze university of administration reached an agreement with the students. it generally agreed that so representative of the students would be allowed to present the case for the investment to the university corporation to the board. there is no commitment by the 1st the of
9:05 pm
a say to good friends to or to bring this to necessarily a vote. but this is improvement on previous policies by the university. and it did mean that the students agreed to dismantle the and kept mind on doing 1st degree. right. i'm president biden today and said that should be no place on any campus for anti semitism. i know you've talked about what you call the weaponized ation of anti semitism. i'm just explain to us what you meant by that. a look. i mean, as i said, it is a is a, is a vile sentiment that has led to not only to hate but also to violence. and indeed to genocide. but it has been used over such a recent decades by various elements not least the right wing. politicians are natural, especially led by benjamin antonio, the crime prime minister as
9:06 pm
a tool to silence. a product of a case is ready, policies and the argument has been goods. any criticism of this role can be interpreted that's on the 7th as i'm i think that is wrong. that's false. and i think that in large part what we have seen on american campus since with a few exceptions, is that students, young people who are followed by what they saw happening a garza and they protested against that. they have a range of opinions about this variety policies, but in launch pod, these are not anti semitic protests. these a protest against expanding policies in gaza, which would lead to over $34000.00 people killed in the divine station of the time . part of the country, so representative using a sub that sounds very reasonable except for that we have increasing reports from
9:07 pm
jewish students on universities that they feel unsafe on university campuses. i mean, this is a very interesting question. parts of it is um uh, subjectivity. so a lot of, uh, jewish through some of which i've spoken with and some of which also influenced by the sea, by what they see a natural when they see students, other students matching with kind of sending flux or quoting for an end to the occupation, according for an empty font that, that is for an uprising against the occupation, they proceed to the sense i send that to us and that's how they see things. that's not the objective reality with most of the students, according for, for if this is an end of the corporation with 7000000 jews occupying 7000000 of sentience, there is nothing anti semitic about being gay. so occupation. part of it is also
9:08 pm
that we have a generation of students, many of whom feel that when they feel unsafe, when they feel challenged about their own opinions, then that is a threat. okay. should not be perceived, this different man, just like a squeezing more or less the best question. what do you think it is about based issue that has so laser fire and these young people? so let me say 2 things. first of all, of the main violent event that we saw the real violent event. you say a was attack by right wing, chief gland t's. it appears that there were a number of it's related to 2 against people who demonstrate t o o. when camping on, on the, on the you sell a campus, that is where we so real yvonne and secondly, we saw it coming from the police routing l. a and in new york. massive police, for honest, it gave students who were protesting, i think,
9:09 pm
but students have the rights of protests as long as they stick to the rules that would destroy the property and those rep in other people. and i think that the use of the, of the striving them is that they submit thing is large and attend to this to, to, to under my criticism, always for any policies. i think that, that professor, i've been talking to thank you so much for joining us. professor over boss off from brown university. thank you very much. media report suggested to k has blocked all imports and exports to i'm from israel. israel's foreign ministers responded by accusing tucker's president ventured time of the month of breaking trade agreements. israel kat suppose to the statement on the social media network x say this is how a dictator behaves. disregarding the interest of attackers, people are businessman and ignoring international trade agreements is the console. so side
