A video of a student protester at New York University this week is going viral due to the student’s response to some basic questions about the reasons for the protest.
You may have noticed that people at these protests are trying to keep members of the press away. Perhaps this is the reason why.
Newsweek reported:
Woman’s Reason for Joining Pro-Palestinian Protest Goes ViralA woman’s reasoning for joining a pro-Palestinian protest at New York University (NYU) has gone viral on social media this week.On Wednesday, former New York City Mayor and lawyer to former President Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani shared a video on X, formerly Twitter, showcasing an interview with a pro-Palestinian protester.In the video, the individual is asked about the goal of protesters at NYU, to which the person responded, “I think the goal is showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stops.””I honestly don’t know all of what NYU is doing … I really don’t know,” the individual says.As the video continues, the individual is seen speaking to another fellow protester and asking if she is aware of why they are protesting.”I wish I was more educated,” the second protester is heard saying.
Watch the video below:
Just two days ago, a Jewish student at NYU commented on the situation and suggested that this is exactly what’s happening.
FOX News reported (emphasis is mine):
Jewish NYU students speak out against anti-Israel agitators on campus: ‘At a loss for words’A large demonstration by anti-Israel agitators at New York University (NYU) was met with condemnation by Jewish students and onlookers passing through the area on Monday, with many in the crowd verbally expressing displeasure at the rowdy scene.“I don’t think they know what they’re protesting for,” Jewish NYU student Natalie told Fox News Digital.“I think there are a lot of educated people — educated to their own set, but I think there are a lot of people who actually have no idea what they’re doing. They want to be a part of something bigger. Gang mentality. Call it what you want. It’s not real,” she added.Passersby accused the demonstrators of being “clout chasers” and “TikTok wannabes” uninformed about the current situation in Israel and Gaza. Anti-Israel activists repeatedly tried to disrupt interviews between Jews and reporters. Still, they refused to go on camera themselves to communicate their message.
How’s that for irony?
