palestinians everywhere. if you are not focusing on the brutal genocide currently happening in gaza and the apartheid system, palestinians are living under in all of the occupied palace time. we employ you to do so. it is important to remember why we are here, are encampment here at columbia, and in cabinets everywhere around the country are part of a larger movement for palestinian liberation. how does he have his christian salumi is that columbia university in new york? after 10 days, the encampment here at columbia university is still going strong, alumni and other supporters of the demonstrators are dropping off food. faculty, volunteers are guarding the entrance to the and cabinet, and the students themselves remain here, day and night. they're holding kitchens that involved muslim and jewish students together. all of this while negotiations are continuing with the administration. but it's clear at this point the university doesn't want

8:05 am
street. the reason i disturbs me to my court to see my own people perpetrating something that we've been doing is this very disturbing. on thursday campus police tried and failed to forcibly clear students from their camp of occupation. the interpreted city university of new york is a tranquil or even suggestive scene. but what people are worried about now is that new york police will come in and do what campus police putting the new york police department on friday preposition barricades in portable light pulse, a harbinger students. fear of a new wave of arrest that have swept universities across the nation by the hundreds at each campus student organizers and university leaders negotiate demands. and it
8:06 am
can't stand off the students wanting to investment of university assets from israel in anything that helps to wage war and does university leaders demanding their campuses. it's beautiful to see that there are some of the encampments and the young people are really, really starting to show up and support and demand that a schools are held accountable for their all your relationship with his rarely keeping his agent as college presidents, calling police to clear encampment after encampment the demonstrators build and rebuild in a stalemate that reflects a deeply divided american nation. john henry and l g 0. new york is unofficial now at george washington university in washington dc. so the number of professors inside the college courtyard has gone down significantly since this time on thursday. the reason for that is the right sort of being made by the university

8:08 am
a human ization against polarization and against genocide because we've seen it before and never again. and that means for anybody, many of the academics at george washington and also other schools in the washington area have actually sent a note to the authorities. saying that the students should not be punished for exercising their right to free speech. and for exercising their brains to contemplate what is happening and guys, but the authorities have not decided at any point to discuss with the students. the minds that the university divest from is really, companies that they look at is really academic links as well. and they give it guarantees that those who are protesting will not face any sort of punishment in the future. those who are still protesting see the steering the steering until the demands are met. also sure, i'll just see the george washington university in washington, dc. in paris, a demonstration by students was broken off off of the occupied the main building of

8:21 am
a 60 of our 247 and cameron also in front of the is really embassy. and we are so proud to have been joined by so many students, many of whom are currently camping in this yard right here. that had been with us from the beginning. and we're here to show solidarity. we are here to support the students movements. it is extremely powerful when students start to step up and say, we are no longer afraid to risk our careers. we are not afraid to speak the truth and we are going to put apply, put in application, everything that we're learning about in textbooks, that the school somehow are so afraid of them to do. and that's why people go to school. they go to school to learn critical thinking, to learn how to hopefully make the world a better place. and the fact that it's being stopped is ludicrous us sunset. bernie sanders slammed his right, the prime minister benjamin netanyahu for a box he made criticizing those protests in the us netanyahu. i have described demonstrations as horrific saying that campuses had been taken over by anti semitic mobs. this will sound as response. no mister, that's in yahoo. it is not anti semitic, or pro come us to point out that in a little over 6 months,
8:22 am
your extreme is government has killed $34000.00 pounds of citizens and wounded more than 78070 percent. the form of women and children that it is not at the subject to point out that your bombing has completely destroyed more than 221000 housing units in god's up leaving more than a 1000000 people homeless. almost half the population. it is not anti semitic to note that your government has obliterated garz's civilian infrastructure, electricity, water, and sewage. it is not empty symmetric to realize that your government has a no, i elated causes health care system. not the $26.00 hospitals out of service and killing more than $400.00 health care workers. it is not anti semitic,
8:23 am
to condemn your governments destruction of all of causes, 12 universities and 56 bit schools with hundreds more damage, leaving 625000 students with no educational opportunities. it is not anti semitic, to agree with virtually every humanitarian organization in saying that your government in violation of american law has unreasonably blocked humanitarian aid. coming into casa, creating the conditions in which so many thousands of children. they smell nutrition and 5 and the nets and yahoo! anti semitism is a bile and disgusting form of bigotry. that has done on speaker go home to many millions of people. but please do not insult the intelligence of the american
8:24 am
people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extreme risk and race as government. so support the israel within the us, evangelical christian community, has been unwavering. that all around $11000000.00 american evangelicals and that supports the israel is based on the belief that the existence of israel will pay the way for the return of jesus christ. listen to this recent exchange. congressman and the university of columbia as president are you familiar with genesis 123? probably not as well as you are homeless man. well, it's pretty clear it was a covenant that god made with abraham. and uh that cabinet was real clear. uh, if you blast israel, i will bless you. if you curse israel, our curse you. and then in the new testament it was confirmed that all nations
8:25 am
would be blessed through you. so you do not know about that. i have heard that now that you've explained that yes up here that is that for me uh, do you consider that a serious issue? i mean, do you want columbia university to be cursed by god of the bible? definitely not. okay. well that's good. well certainly bounce from about this from santa conner. i can investigate. she says that some evangelical beliefs regarding israel. a based on a misreading of the bible's a. it's a political view of the end times, especially rooted in the last book of the christian scriptures. the book of revelation, which is that when the world ends, it's going to end in a battle in israel and the geographical place of israel, where jesus will come again. and that's a very distorted out of context because our understanding of that
8:26 am
text. so that just that, that, that simple story is taken way out of context from the political, evan jellico movement. you're not interested in the value of the state of israel except to the degree that during its destruction will come. it will be the 2nd coming of jesus, which is troubling in it's all right. so it's not for the sake of this real, really the know it could or was ones one of the safest countries in latin america. but in the last 10 years, it's had one of the highest meta rates in the region. since taking office last year, president daniel and above declared war against the drug contents. and recently, when a referendum to impose hoshal noise. but doing so when the easy as theresa, but it reports from black youth. so this is
8:27 am
a tactic as motorcycle unit carrying out to an operation english like he's known to be the drug trafficking. have you nick, whether or president, then you know, a has intensified police operations against drug gangs declaring the warm coast health. we accompanied the unit to an area known as the ac, named after a police officer who went rogue and joined a criminal group. and then the visa varies with chronic problems of consumption and sale of drugs. and then most of the action happens at night to me. the situation has improved a bit too much, but it's still very complicated here. it whether it was one's acquired nation in the region, but in the last decade it has been taken over by drug related violence. we're told that healing was a cuba situation, get some more violence when you get close to the river. it because criminal organizations are fighting for access to the river, it leads to which this country's major ports, and that's where drugs are traffic out of the country. according to the police,
8:28 am
many of these votes are involved in the trade. but fishermen tend to view police officers with suspicion, saying corruption is a common thing among the police force. and then the says, the security situation in what or in the past year has gotten out of control alexi and the police because he equals it's all a disaster. i'm picking up troops when i'm here. the only thing i see is bad news this week, or fluid is detained, the leader of a powerful gang in the country, unless on the president, no, i want to vote. so we formed the constitution and implemented how should laws against those involved in the drug trade. but no boy serving a short term 18 months presidential term and he's unlikely he will have enough time to carry out major reforms. elections are happening early next year. the lions dates that will be see the, we will know the military on the streets is not the solution. and then it's
8:29 am
unlikely that he'll be able to implement any reforms fast. but the presidents has convinced that security is what we'll guarantee is re election in 2025. and that's why the advertising this hotline policy, as the drug trade continues to transform, make one or many of the people living here are putting their face in the precedent security plan, hoping it will succeed. pretty simple. i'll just see there was a key. it went on, the higher the police department has released body camera footage of the arrest of a 53 year old black mountain who died after he was detained. from tyson can be heard repeatedly telling police officers icon brief as they sent him to the ground. an officer can be seen placing a knee on his neck for about 30 seconds. incident is reminiscent of george floyd's death in minneapolis 4 years ago, which at least
