I was protesting at the university of Connecticut when our encampment was swept. 25 students were arrested, many of whom were also Jewish. Our protest was entirely peaceful.

Encampment in a university is not a protest is an occupation, doubt was entirely peaceful.
In the day and age when speaking truth can cost you your job, career or reputation, Professor Wolff has once again showed integrity for truth, justice and humanity.
Thank you, Prof Wolff. As an 82 year old Proud American JEW, I say thank you again. Zionism is a 127 year old European settler colonial ideology. Judaism is a 5784 years old religion, tradition, the anchor for all western religions.

As an 82 year old proud American Jew. (c) It seems that I read a diagnosis from a psychoanalyst.🤣 What is Zionism? Scientific concept? Maybe a religious sect separate from Judaism? No, this is an ethnic group of people united by religion and economics. Ordinary conservatives and reactionaries hiding behind revanchist ideas. Nothing new .

Anti-genocide is not anti-Semetism. Genocide is anti-Semetic.
No country is exempt from criticism, that's just dumb. To be anti-genocide is NOT antisemitic. What Israel is perpetrating in Gaza is a crime against ALL humanity.

Amen By it's disgusting abuse of the memory of the holocaust, and their constant dishonest conflation of antisemitism with anti Zionism, they are actually fuelling genuine antisemitism. They are creating the perfect conditions to drive antisemitism because people looking on at Israel's crimes are being invited by the Israel government to assign those crimes, not to the Israeli state but to Jews - because apparently the two are equivalent. The mendacity and callousness are infuriating.
Prof. Wolff, as always a voice of reason, and well thought out analysis. Biden's speech was possibly the most horrifying thing I've heard from a politician in my 44 years. The co-opting of opposition to Antisemitism as a defense for what is being done in Gaza is just awful to see. My understanding of "Never Again", is never again for the Jewish people, and never again for anyone else. All of the hate is just so pointless. No Arab is my enemy, nor is any Jew, or anyone else for that matter. Until we all stand together as one people, for each other, we'll never reach our true potential.
As always...Richard Wolff helps to articulate misconception and exaggeration.....what we are witnessing brake our hearts.with horror...so much so as the black and white images in ww2 ...thanks for your courage....and clear our minds!
❤❤❤ Professor Wolff ❤❤❤ Beautifully and clearly explains the dangerous misconduct of the UNIVERSITIES ...

If criticism of Israel is antisemitic, criticism of Iran is Islamophobic! Yet those who use that interpretation of antisemitism almost always cheer for more sanctions on Iran, let alone every word they utter in relation to Iran is negative and/or hostile.
Thank you for addressing this Professor Wolff!
Thank you Prof. Wolff for addressing these important issues & putting them in context.

That's exactly right about "private" property! I've been saying something similar: these are students of the school; how could anyone claim that they were "occupying" buildings of their own campus?

Even on private campuses, those very lucrative schools enjoy tax exempt status and donors get huge tax breaks specifically for public access.

Sir. I do so appreciate what you generously share with us out here busy running on the rat wheel, trying to keep up! I am grateful for ALL of the presentations of yours I have seen on economics and politically hot issues ie the ethnic cleansing in Gaza. I am learning so much about these topics, thanks to you and many others. ❤😊
So smart and true
Much of this was predicted by the late professor Zeev Sternhell, a Holocaust survivor and Israel’s foremost authority on fascism, who explained in his 2018 essay titled “In Israel, Growing Fascism and a Racism Akin to Early Nazism” that these fascists “don’t wish to physically harm Palestinians. They only wish to deprive them of their basic human rights, such as self-rule in their own state and freedom from oppression.” Though the appointment of the sadistic Ben Gvir as minister of National Security is about wishing the Palestinians physical harm.
Thank you Professor Wolf your voice is very much appreciated
President Biden's "position" on Gaza reminds me of the old Firesign Theater question,"How can you be in 2 places at once,when you are really nowhere at all"? In my opinion ,his obfuscation on this and other vital issues is going to result in his being returned to private life this fall.I hope he wakes up and takes the stand against funding the carnage in Gaza ,which will get the support of the Dem base again,and more importantly stop the brutal slaughter in Gaza.

Thank you, professor. You certainly rock! as your students and admirers would say. From a returned Peace Corpsman.
To one of the most courageous, wise and articulate Americans, I bid you good fortune and our most humble gratitude. Your rejection of careerism and virtuous commitment to truth and the well being of mankind is inspiring and unfortunately rare among your spineless colleagues. 🙏

I’m not wondering why you are weighing on this professor. Actually, I was wondering why you were not weighing more on this. I don’t know many economists who have also studied and know so much about history.
Good point about the federal government funding universities, tantamount to making the universities public land.
Keep up the great work!!!
Perfect explanation! Thank you!
Very well said! 👏
Professor Wolff, thank you for sharing vis-a-vis the picture of where our taxes are being applied. What can we do now?

Anti Zionism is not antisemitism
I very much like the comments here. I compleately agree.
i am not in support for his hate against Trump but i respect this honorable professor's views of economics. Let GOD GIVE HIM MORE YEAR TO SERVE THE PEOPLE. I BOW TO HIM WITH RESPECT DESPITE NOT AGREEING FOR ALL HIS VIEW. This video is a fantastic one and gives a clear understanding about the effect of antisemitism and antizionism.
Kudos to you for supporting just causes

It was from inception of abusing the charge of antisemitism to immediately disregard the charge as it was apparent it was a desperate attempt to stop the criticism of what Isreal was doing. Anyone that took it serious did not know the true meaning. Which means education is so important.
May Allah bless this man. The holy Quran speaks of men like him. He is truthful,empathetic, humble. I love this man as a brother in humanity.

What do you think of Yanis Varoufakis's system theory?
one of the biggest problems i have when discussing communism with people that are not proper comrades is that they keep comparing basic quality of life metrics of places like east-west germany, north-south korea, or taiwan vs china. the problem is that anyone with phone can quickly look things up that directly refute the one true philosophy as taught by karl marx. how do we conceal these differential outcomes from the masses long enough achieve power over them?
