Anyone else that you may have been concerned about? reporter: thanks for having me. of course, of course i felt at risk. we live in an age as you mentioned where speaking up for humanity and against the killing of children is somehow still under attack. but, palestinian poet said we are not the ones living under the rubble. on the point of why the suspended students were protesting in the first place, we are living in a moment that is perhaps unique in the extent that israel and the western allies are inflicting upon the palestinian people the brutality of them and global outcry. but nothing that i said and nothing that the students who were protesting and students that were suspended or students across the nation is saying is new. palestinians have been sharing their opinions for decades. should not take students in they are at harvard, chicago,
Charges that it levied against pro palestine students participating in activism and civil disobedience. if harvard were to do them, less empathetic on public issues and those things i might mention they might be near what they report to achieve. regardless what they say, they are not neutral. right. i guess now that you have graduated and you have your degree and about to go in the real world. when you look back at your time at harvard and what you learned about the institution, at the institution do you have regrets going to harvard? encouraging of other students to be selective where they go to school to do a full audit of where the universities are complicity in the issues that students may not agree with and
Refugee camps and hospitals. of course there was a risk of denouncing it. how can any of us live with ourselves, i could not. if we did not condemn what was condemnable. this is harvard s response that it finds itself. what do you make of how harvard responded specifically to the fact that it will refrain from taking public stances on issues unrelated to academia and one faculty member put it. as the faculty report put it. the most compassionit course of action is not to issue official statements of empathy. what do you make of the statement? as you stated it says a lot about the polarization. harvard is in position of not making statements of empathy and therefore all well and

Good. they are attempting to operate under a veneer of objectivity through their claim that they will no longer be taking stances or making statements on public issues whrvment in reality they very much complicate in bankrolling it. they are uniquely punishing students advocating for palestine and using their soft academic power. and all of this, frankly. ties to harvard out of occupied palestinian demands. the university disclose their investments. we know in the past, harvard infested $200 million in entities for illegal settlements in palestine and the actual dollar view of the invested in entities perpetrating in genocide right now is higher. number two, harvard divest the funds and that harvard drop the
Here is some of the speech. we are in america. the shining city on the hill, we can denounce the invasion of ukraine. yet we drive the genocide and occupation of palestinian and use police force to brutalize young people who dare speak up against it. harvard university threatened has chosen to withhold degrees from our peers who fulfilled every graduation requirement but more importantly, extended just graduating from the harvard kennedy school with masters in public policy joins me now. great to have you on the show. i want to start by asking you about your comments did it feel like a risk to publicly denounce harvard s treatment of protesters and what has been the response from both the university, faculty members and
Not go to these universitys? what should they do universities? what should they do? any university that students choose to go to are morally and ethically complicate in the ongoing genocide in gaza and the occupation of palestine. hard to pick one that does not bankroll some way, shape or form what is happening. so, that is the unfortunate reality that we face with students. my advice would be to continue to attend these universities because if our voices were not there for them to disclose their funds and to hold true to their motto and other schools such as harvard then there would be no talk about this issue at all in these spaces. congratulations on your degree. we will follow you closely as

That the atrocities, the genocide in the first place of the jewish people would not happen again. so, therefore, that is why we need these rules and see them immented. thank you. coming up how harvard s new policy on empathy exposes deep division in america policy on empathy exposes deep division in america season to season, ultomiris is continuous symptom control, with improvement in activities of daily living. it is reduced muscle weakness. and ultomiris is the only long-acting gmg treatment with the freedom of just 6 to 7 infusions per year, for a predictable routine i can count on. ultomiris can lower your immune system s ability to fight infections, increasing your chance of serious meningococcal infections,
Otherwise, to have their freedom of speech impinged. we have been sharing what has been said for decades and continues to be stated by palestinians what is unique is that we contribute to these, it is invested in death. it is literally carrying out a genocide with our division dollars so we do what we can. i gave my speech, we set up encampments, we protest. to borrow from one of the seniors who had their degree withheld from harvard, we protest for thousands of unnamed palestinians murdered. protest because we have hearts that respond to images of bloodied dead bodies, the destruction of safe havens,
