Im moving to another country if trump gets elected 🤔
Just a comment about humanities vs social sciences: I once watched an interview with a Nobel laureate in physics, David Gross, who said that he respected the arts but not the social sciences very much, due to the latter being pretty bogus and permeated by political correctness. The arts are more about expressing individual human emotions without the pomposity and pretense of explaining all of society.
I'm sure a typical lesson from the new curriculum will go something like this: "Beethoven was a great composer of Inuit background whose ancestors came to Germany by way of Iceland. But if that's not true, then Beethoven is just a dead white guy who's part of the patriarchy of oppressors".
Social -- slave Robbed of his labour that no law exists on earth Who owes ? We the people treasury ? The corporations are bankrupt
So when are the creditors going to be paid what is owed?
A vicious libel of genocide...II am prepared to compensate victims of institutional abuse but I will publicly reject this monstrous false accusation. There was no attempt to destroy indigenous peoples.
why do you have your name a scam plotform.
This criminal was member of zionists group controlling America Who carried out the 11september 2001 terrorist plot to push americans to invade Irak. Hé was the brain of the silly Bush..and his speechwriter.
Economic development and opportunity might be more important than misleading discussion.
Anti apartheid was not anti juice
I dont go to these bullshit protests myself as a student of the university of toronto. It is completely irrelevent what happens outside our canadian national borders and have kore important things to talk about. Things like these wont change anything. We have things like protesting the zero sum game of the current form of capitalism than some little inconsequantial surmish halfway around the planet. Let them deal with it themselves. Same for ukraine and all other problems that are none if our business unless they penetrate our border first. To top it iff the most ridiculous protest ive seen was the alphabet soup community for palistine....bruh...thats a darwin award...absulote stupidity.
they let them block roads & bridges with no consequences .. so why not do it on campus ??
So happy to see David Frum watching his dream of Zionism falling down upon his head. Many young Jews are now finding out the ugly reality of Zionism. Are all these Jews anti-semites??😅😅
David, do you remember that night on national television when Gore Vidal corrected you on your lack of knowledge, and made you look like a village idiot? I still do.
Except you can't be something else in Israel. You must be a Jew.
God you guys are such muddle headed pr creations, the main quality of which is to keep believing you’re own bs without any rational critique. Mr Frum comes from a lineage of privileged Zionist extremists ensconced in the Canadian establishment, as well as a raging NeoCon facilitator of foreign war suffering from the Bush era, ground zero for all the disastrous adventurism since, and the progenitor of the Neuland + Blinken (profitable) cluster fs raging today.
NAZIBOT
Wrong it's Anti War
The entire driving force behind the student protests is predicated solely by the revulsion felt at the horrific atrocities being committed by the IDF against the Gaza civilians under the guise of exterminating the Hamas fighters. To call it "antisemitism" exposes only the ignorance and partisanship of the interviewee as well as the interviewer!
ya, good story
I lost hope with David Frum. He sold out.
Remembering all those lost to the world forever, let their memories be a blessing. To the hostages kidnapped Oct 7 - let us remember them every minute of every day, bring them home.
Disgusting! Including the laughter from the host11😂😂
It is not 'Anti-Israel", it is Anti-Zionist! Stop the genocide and Free Palestine!
Money is the bottom line, follow who is getting rich! To think it is a human nature issue needed to be addressed but pure greed is the real issue!
You’re so BLIND!
I suppose it is faddish to not iddly accept the massacre of babies in the way you seem to do Mr Speer
Anti zionism is not antisemitism.
Clearly Hasbara has yet to jump on this rather civil/evenly-opinionated comment section.
Dubya’s former lapdog and Iraq war cheerleader. And we’re supposed to care what he thinks?
Propaganda! Yes racist asianus they were making sure that they weren't trying to infiltrate the protest disrupted or instigate violence that's why they were giving out risbands so show that they can trust them doesn't matter if the person who wants to ruin everything for everyone just happens to also be a zionist jew. If azine is a jew who isn't anti-war but is for defaming the movement then no they should not be allowed in what senses that make idiot
We want a ceasefire, from all walks of life, Jews, muslims, christians and every other faith we simply want to stop the Genocide being carried out by you know who. That's what the protests are for. Nothing sinister. I think it's commendable, if I were 30 years younger, I'd being doing the same. anyone who is supporting the terror state massacring women and children and civilian infrastructure is completely delusional. And no, we cannot blame all this on Hamas, it began long before Hamas popped up.
David is deluding himself if he thinks this is about a few university students. The host asks “ what is it about the Palestinian cause that is cool?” The answer is: 34000 dead, 10000 missing and 80000 wounded.
David Frum was a participant in packaging and marketing Bush war crimes perpetrated in the so-called war on terror. He has zero credibility. Zero. Quit playing the victim when it’s the side your on that is committing the genocide.
How is this guy not in an insane asylum?
toute censure est bien une forme extrême et paranoïaque de critique la forme la plus extrême ne peut être exercée que par des ignorants ou des illettrées vous avait été victime des censeurs les plus efficaces qui liquide tous sans avoir rien lu.
ISLAMOFACISM is taking over your country!
They don’t get uncomfortable witj the likes of Smotrich or Gvir and the stuff they say. Own up. You are uncomfortable and scared people won’t look the other way when Israeliars sillk Palestinians
I can see David Frum has no empathy or Clue About The suffering, starvation, mass murder of the Innocent Palestinian Civilians and War Crimes Committed By Israel. He does not have the Capacity and Appears To Be another Zionist and a supporter of AIPAC.
What an idiotic, inhumane question "why are they protesting? what makes Palestian cool?" and then the most disgusting response "social media fame".... conversations like this are very enlightening because you see how a fascistic mind, numb to human suffering and racist, can appear normal and reasonable.
You find the truth painful
Spin!
These young people don’t know what they are doing, like the previous generations
Everyone hates Israel; their few “friends” are just bribed and/or blackmailed
Get a grip. This is about opposition to genocide and those who support Israel. How is that ideological?
Why wasn't Palestine divided into two states from the start, instead of three states?
Was this interview written by the Irgun or the Stern Gang?
The delusion amongst Zionists is truly impressive
"small movement" of "a cadre of highly ideological students" is exactly how the protests against the Vietnam war started. Just go talk to the majority of the protesting students to see why they're protesting - the majority aren't "pro Palestinian" any more than their Vietnam counterparts were "pro Vietnamese" They are and were against paying for indiscriminate murder of children, regardless of national or ethnic origin.
It was actually not anti war but anti draft
Well said.
@republica7337 not well said...the protests were about the draft, hence the mantra "Hell no we won't go". The murder of innocent Vietnamese was of secondary importance. Once the draft ended, the protests ended
@@zu0832 you need to fact your ideas. They protested against many things, but mainly against the war. Protests against the draft would happen later.
@republica7337 nope I was there were you?
A brilliant commentary.
Great discussion! I like his pro-Life analogy vs Anti-Israel analogy. The permission structure that is in question, the severe inconsistencies, the Universities police free speech very intensely when it comes to the expression of center-right speech, but have all of a sudden become free speech absolutists when it comes to anti-Zionism.
Smug, patronizing rhetoric that minimizes and belittles the profound ethical concerns expressed by student protestors, while failing to recognize that Zionism is fundamentally antithetical to the core values of Judaism.
Sean Speer advises us right up front that he is setting the stage for a totally biased pro-Israel stance. This makes this conversation of no interest to a person who wishes to be treated to an objective treatment of the issues. He states: "“In today's conversation, we will discuss the recent escalation in pro-Palestinian protests at universities across North America and what if anything these developments tell us about higher education, FAILURES of institutional leadership and the cultural and intellectual conditions that enabled ANTISEMITISM to flourish.” He even takes his narrative one step further to demonize the future: “It may signal something deeper about the rise of iDEOLOGICAL EXTREMISM among those who will ultimately fill key roles in our major private and public institutions.” All he is doing is confirming the power of the Israeli lobby in the USA to influence American action.
