You call that a take... Funny how you never mentioned why they were protesting.
-
CNN MSNBC and Fox have not had student protesters on the air giving their point of view.
-
There is nothing difficult to understand about the protests on campus.
-
Coordinated protests is evidence of lack of community?

Google: Fareed Zakaria apartheid As a student at Yale University in the mid-1980s, Fareed Zakaria opposed anti-apartheid divestment and argued that Yale should not divest from its holdings in Apartheid-era South Africa. He co-signed a letter to Paul Giamatti's dad condemning peaceful anti-Apartheid protesters (downthread).

Fareed doesn't think young people are conversing. Perhaps it is he who has lost touch.
-
So u saying these kids are doing protest because they are lonely and wanna camp out for fun?

"Friends don't let friends commit genocide."

Always offended, never ashamed

Typical of C.N.N. to have got this so wrong!!

This is the most bizarre monologue I've seen from Fareed. Maybe College students have eyes and ears and can see the disproportionate collective punishment being delved by the Israeli government on the Palestinians and feel morally obligated to speak up. I'm actually quite proud of these youngsters. Gives me hope for the future.

My daughter’s college experience was centered around alcohol. It wasn’t part of the experience it was THE experience. Empty and sad.

Your take is ridiculous. You are literally the old man complaining about “these kids these days…” This is different from 1968 in exactly zero ways. These kids see the actions of the powerful, they see the injustice, and they are rising up against the empire. Period.

I used to have utmost respect for Fareed, but his take on this collage protest is whitewashed. Not for once did he mention the reason for the protest and how protest is one of the bedrock of our democracy. He simply undermined with absolute n0nsense.
-
Yeah, back in his college days, Zakaria was pro-apartheid and debated in favor of denying blacks in SA democracy and equal voting rights. Dont believe me? Look up his college and his debate group while at that college.

Students agree with me : healthy discourse Students disagree with me: damaged communities.

Free Americans from AIPAC 🇺🇸

That was such a weird report… it’s a literal community of different groups of people, different religions, coming together for something greater than themselves. standing up against genocide, if anything it restores my faith in humanity, it is so inspiring. The sad part is in a few years these pundits will look back as if they were on the side of the protesters the whole time

Several things come to mind at my age of 81. How you going to keep them down on the farm? or It takes a village. Speaking of which our son just called from Vancouver. We are in Massachusetts. Walmart started it all. Buy low sell low sell high and let the communities (real people) fly kites.
