    It's just so pathetic. One group of people is calling for the release of hostages and the other group is calling for intifada (the killing of civilian Jews). That should tell you everything you need to know.

    There's a time a place to protest. A graduation ceremony is not the place, you can take a 1-2 hour break from protesting to allow other people who have taken years of work and study to get to this moment. Then after wards you can continue your protest. But you can't so and it shows how selfish you are

    Ruining everyone’s graduation, they should forfeit their degrees and diplomas for their disgraceful conduct
  • To interrupt a graduation is not fair for those that have nothing to do with whats going on.😢

    Houthis said they could accept the protesters. Send them to Yemen.

    It is no longer a protest when it becomes disruptive or destructive. Throwing paint on paintings or disrupting college ceremonies immediately invalidates your entire narrative and destroys your credibility as someone to listen to.

    Narcissists stealing the graduates' moment....

    The US government needs to quickly and resolutely return international students to their home country if they protest do not comply with US law.

    Now we know why Jordan and Egypt won't accept any Palestinians 😂
  • @rossnr100
    so stupid to mess up graduation for people who either agree with you or not. Not necessary at all situations.

    22 Arab Nations (population 475 million) with a land area that is 640 times larger than Israel, and with a population that is 60 times bigger than Israel (9.3 million). How can Israel, which occupies only 0.15% of the lands called Arab, be responsible for the dissatisfaction of 22 Arab countries?
