The University of Southern California has denied its 2024 valedictorian, Asna Tabassum, the chance to give a speech at commencement over security concerns. She speaks with CNN's Abby Phillip.
#CNN #News
So basically canceling the speech led to more awareness for Gaza.
From sea to shining sea america must be Palestinian free! This girls uncles are holding Americans hostage in gaza! She does not belong in America
Now she's on CNN!
More publicity isn't more awareness.
Mind Begs the Question: - If a Semitic People - Engage in Apartheid/Occupation - To speak,act against it - Is Anti Semitic or Pro Freedom?
@@WAEVOICE yup know we are all aware of The plight of the Palestinian people.
She's getting more publicity due to the cancellation than at her graduation.
@@aceboogisback9946they should have a platform so they can’t hide
Isn't it interesting that she stands for human rights but has amnesia about October 7? Will she call for the abolishment of Hamas? No! Typical Islamic cognitive dissonance. Smh!
She's not an anti Semite.......@@aceboogisback9946
She's on CNN nobody watches this anymore.
The college SCU is very discrimination to talk to talk to me about. Very racists views by the way I live in California.
She speaks better than the two people fighting for the US presidency... go figure...
If your against TRUMP your low voter IQ and CNN indoctrinated
She speaks humbug.😂 see she has refused to condemn the abolition of the Jewish state. These students are nothing but acid that will tear thru the society fabric
So true. Lol
lol. You are correct here, both need schooling from her.
🤣
She is highly intellectual and well spoken. I wish her well and fruitful life.
She is discusting,standing for human rights?
She is sooo gifted, omg! ❤ bravo young lady. Super well spoken!
They are trained radicalized individuals.

This young lady should write her speech, and publish it, so all can see what the University was too fearful to hear in an open public forum, I for one would like to see a copy.
This young lady’s speech would be about pro palestinian garbage and her support for Hamas, also showing her hate towards Israel. That’s not a good speech. Just like any other muslims, she would be dividing and trying to lie about anything.
Why not have her write the speech and share it with the university to see if there is any hate speech or other points that are contrary to their rules of conduct. But even there she can go off script so the university needs both security and a potential backup plan Now she can say almost anything she wants to say to make the university looks foolish
you can look it up online
@@joezic i dont care what this bozo has to say
Graduation speech complaining about a war in another country while her campus is in south central. Maybe worry about what’s right in front of you and make a difference there.
So talking about Human Rights and the right of Palestinians to life made students feel unwelcomed? Maybe fascists shouldn't feel welcomed?
No, stating that Israel should be abolished makes them feel uncomfortable, and rightfully so.

This was a safety threat. A threat to the schools financial security from its donor class/alumni 😮😐

- Netanyahu let the attack happen on his own country, despite knowing about the attack 3 days before it happened. - Music festival was organised with lot of foreigners just 3 miles away from the border. On whose order? - Music festival was extended by one day as the attack did not happen when it was thought to happen. On whose order? - Noticing that music festival casualty were less, used IDF to increase the casualties in the music festival. On whose order?
Truth hurts, but it is a private institution--
Is AIPAC a donar or alumni of the school?

You can speak BLM and criticize the US gov, but you cannot speak Palestine lives matter and criticize Israel In the U.S.
You can 🔥 the flag. Texas and California can openly talking about leaving the Union... But you can't talk about ...Is-ra-hell"
Bringing in BLM into this for what? Is the opposition from Black people? Why throw Black people under the bus in a situation that they are not at all driving but are rather fighting against? Majority of Black people are supporting Gaza. Because of speaking out in support of GAZA many Black residents are now being punished in their residency programs. Jewish people in Dermatology used Black students support from Gaza as their reason to write a joined later asking for the dissolution of all programs aimed at recruiting Black students into Dermatology just last month. To be putting their future careers at risk to support Gaza then have people like you go on to bash BLM on top of that is absolutely diabolical.
Does not make sense, clarify
You absolutely can criticize Israel. It’s just that you guys look like a bunch of neo-nazis to a significant portion of the country. Calling for the abolishment of Israel is genocidal. I get why you are upset, but you are also actively failing to recognize the whole picture. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
That's pretty myopic, considering that arabs and their supporters have built tent cities in some of the best universities in the east. They have done nothing but chant and yell and protest mindlessly.
It's wild how every law, domestic and abroad is being ignored for Israel. So much is being exposed about America is mind-blowing.
Not America.. Democrats you mean...get it t right
Which laws are being ignored by a university canceling a commencement speech?
@@despraterado588 Well let's start with the constitution and our 1st amendment: Freedom of religion The right to believe, speak, and act in accordance with one's understanding of truth. The First Amendment does not allow the government to establish or interfere with religion. Freedom of speech The right to express ideas through speech and the press. Freedom of the press The right of the press to investigate and report on government wrongdoing. Right to assemble The right to gather with a group for protest or other reasons.
@@despraterado588 freedom of speech. but it isn't a law the only law under capitalism is the right of private property and the right of making profit (aka exploiting workers). anything against this is blasphemy even god comes second to these unalienable rights

I feel badly for her because she is young and just starting out, and in probably what is her first interview she was being pushed in a certain direction to say something. But so also feel happy that she didn't let herself get bullied and clearly said that she wouldn't give a yes or no answer. I'm proud of her❤

Uhh don’t care either way, but she did call for Israel to be destroyed and she wanted to say that in her speech, so.

I am glad they canceled her speech. It shows who they really are and gave her a bigger platform to speak. Rich donors probably pressured the school and they gave in.

When your "valedictorian" posts inflammatory content on their personal social media account that could result in drawing unwelcome attention to your expensive and widely attended high-profile event you have to consider the safety and well being of your guests and the reputation of your institution above all else. It's not that hard to understand. She earned the valedictorian status, but that is it. She gets no say in the decisions of the administration and they owe her no personal consideration for her status. If this event were to go sideways the university would be mired in bad PR for a long time. But if she accepts her diploma without incident and leaves the university in good standing they can turn their attention to the next academic year and the next crop of students looking to graduate and be successful. She has no right to interrupt the flow of the organization.
She shouldn’t be promoting Palestinian Hamas terrorists.

@@hammie2 I already did but to be specific she posted some writings that accused the Israeli's of being a racist colonial state that need to be eliminated and that one Palestinian state should be created for both Jews and Arabs. She knows that's not possible so all her goal was to do is to create hate towards Israel who are doing nothing but defending themselves against the Palestinians terrorists actions. Yes the civilians are being caught in the middle of Israel's brutal response but it would all stop if the Palestinians would stop their terrorist ways. It's the Palestinians who have been racist against Jews for over 100 years, who hate other Arabs and throw gays off of buildings. Disgusting monsters who are leading those people. Most are not like that but unfortunately they voted Hamas into power and are paying the price for that. Many Palestinians live and work peacefully in Israel.
@@johnmongani5223What about the war crimes of Israel happening right now (killing of journalists and humanitarian aid) and what about the years before that?

She deflects on the question regarding one of the items on her social media page of whether she endorses the call for the complete abolishment of Israel. She was asked a second time. Her response, or lack thereof, speaks to her ideology.
she made it pretty clear - abolishment of the ethno-state that does not give rights to all people. States do not have the right to exist, people do.
hey, a...hole, we’ve read the link that Abby Phillip stated ; it doesn’t say anything wrong, I’ve found that idea might work for Israel and Palestine. But the way CNN framed it made it sound bad .
Did u seriously not understand her explanation? It was pretty clear.. Perhaps your comprehension is the problem, not hers.
Human Rights isn’t the complete abolishment of a county and a people!!
So, you side with the Palestinians, then? Because that is what happened to their country and is happening to their people and our tax dollars are funding it. If you say abolish Israel, it sounds crazy but if y'all say bomb Iraq into the stone age, Americans cheer. You can't have it both ways.

Good call cancelling her speech. She clearly stated here that she doesn't believe in Israel's right to exist. In other words, she's okay with whatever happens to Israel, including Hamas' "resistance". She believes in "equality for all" aside from Israeli's. These college students have become more and more radical, all under the name of "equality" and empathy -- it's all really a guise with a deeper disdain, and even hatred, for people who they deem to be in a "privileged" class. It's hate wrapped up in a pretend love for the world/equality for all.

@@razaali5031I agree, she worked hard. But if she’s calling for the death of Israeli people (or the death of any group) even if it’s under the “virtuous” name of “resistance”, I think that’s grounds to cancel a speech.
So the CNN reporter is asking her about what she wrote about the terror state Israel , and she has to explain herself. We all remember six months ago when the war criminal Netanyahu Gave a speech quoting the Bible, amalak: to kill them all, women, children, men, their livestock, and sucking babies… CNN forgot one of the terror state Colonels was on live TV and said they are human animals, no water, no food, no electricity, kill them all… Interesting how this poor girl is being interrogated and she has to justify one sentence that she wrote, but CNN forgot to mention all the speeches and the genocidal speeches from the terror state. This is totally absurd. Why should the state of Israel exist? Based on what ethnic cleansing, refusing to abide by every international law and United Nations resolution ? 194 from the United nation gives the right for all refugees the right to return to their homeland. CNN should do research on the agreement between German Jews and the Nazis, the agreement was called. Haavara Agreement - This is not a conspiracy theory. It has been documented throughout history. That the German Zionist Jews made an agreement with Nazi Germany, The agreements in short promised Zionist Jews from Germany, the right to settle in Palestine…. What gives them the right to return after 2000 years, yet the natives of Palestine don’t have the right to return after they were thrown out by the terrorist Zionist, in 1948. And left as refugees, homeless . CNN should look up all the massacres that were committed by the Zionist terrorist Jews in 1948 to create fear And ethnic cleanse all Palestinians … The CNN reporter did not write the questions they were handed to her by CNN Jerusalem Bureau in Israel. Every story concerning Palestine in Israel has to be vetted by CNN Jerusalem bureau, meaning the story the report has to be vetted by the terror state. This is how much control Israel has on the United States from our politicians, to Hollywood, to the mass media. No nation has the right to exist by ethnic cleansing the natives, and massacring them, and dehumanizing them. Really this is like such a oh I gotcha question, lol. Absurd! Research the Haavara agreement… and after you read it, you will see we are aiding and supporting Nazis.

Her hateful and incorrect reduction of Israel--the only free democracy in the entire Middle East with equality for all citizens, including 2 million Arabs--as an apartheid goes unchallenged by the interviewer. She further obfuscates by speaking about human rights implying that Israel is the antithesis of human rights. This is an outrageous slander as Israel is by far freer than any of the world's 49 Muslim countries. All of these countries have produced an apartheid of Jews since all million Jews have been ethnically cleansed, robbed, and massacred in the Muslim and Arab nations. She also conveniently does not mention that Lebanon is a truly apartheid nation, that Sudan's civil war has resulted in 2 MILLION deaths, Somalia's civil war half a MILLION deaths, Nigeria's 3 MILLION deaths, Yemen's about half a MILLION deaths, and that Syria's civil war has resulted in 600,000 deaths, including that of 200,000 civilians. What a hypocrite. No wonder this manipulative ideologue has been banned from spreading her antisemitic hate.
So rudeness to cancel the honorable mentions , it’s right to speech his thoughts.😇
Cancelling her speech shows their fear they have of her . She would out the hypocrisy
Yes, liberal unless it has to do with backing apartheid Israel that has just committed genocide. Hypocrites.
I was ready to give her the benefit of doubt but how she keeps skirting the questions is just so wrong. Maybe the university was right in stopping her to prevent her harm and a danger
“It’s unfortunate that human rights are controversial”well spoken smart young woman, no surprise why they cancel her speech 🙂
This is just demagoguery.
AIPAC should be required to register under FARA..Stop foreign election interference.
This was the right call on the university’s part. This individual advocates the destruction of Israel. Her appearance itself would have generated a violent response.
Israel is an ILLEGAL state, a creation of the UK based on violent colonial 'rights'. The natives of Gaza have been massacred since e1937, without stop. What Israel has done to Gaza in 80- years is much worse than the whole of ww2 put together.
Because of these protestors many schools are cancelling there graduations because of these disruptions. It’s not fair to the students who worked hard for their diplomas.
And the dead children in Palestine? Dont they get a thought?
brainwashed. Once I heard apartheid, she lost me.
It is! It is worse than South Africa experience.
No one is brainwashed except you. It's 100% apartheid. Deal with it
Absolutely, you r a lost case
Free speech… everything is biased..
Yeah... The last pro-Palestine activist in California kinda broke the whole "free speech" thing...
Free speech just means that the government can't silence you, it does not apply to a private university graduation.
By doing this to her They have made her very popular
With Hamas.
Michael Avenatti was on CNN over a hundred times. Not exactly a popular guy
Like Trump?
Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame. It's going to fly by real fast.
Popular and unemployable😂
Google USS Liberty
What about it?
I've seen the Documentary, [I highly recommend it]
I've also done Extensive research on 9 II,
I know who the realPerpetrators are.
Bush administration!
A yes or a no would be an injustice to the issue. Any sort of idealogical debate or academic discourse is worth clarification and worth discussion” -Asna Tabassum
A now UNEMPLOYABLE "household name" 😂
She publicly called for abolishing the state of Israel. I don't know whether that's a legit reason to cancel her valedictorian speech, but I DO think that explicit language should have been referenced at/near the beginning of this segment. Provides helpful context.
That not right to cancel anyone for anything.
It’s graduation. The message needs to be inclusive of all present.
But if she gave a speech in which she said that Israel must be abolished, then that would be like the Iranian foreign minister giving a speech before congress and stating that the Jewish people must be driven to the Sea and killed. The latter would never happen; neither should the latter ever happen.
Mind Begs the Question: - If a Semitic People - Engage in Genocide/Apartheid - To speak,act against it - Is Anti Semitic or Pro Freedom?
Supporting terrorism is illegal.. sorry
She wasnt cancelled and the speech is a privilege not a right.
Shame on them. And I don't shame people lightly.
Her arguments are spotless.
Why politics and taking sides in commencements and oscar speaches made normal? This just puts everyone's safety at risk in these places where focus should be on academics and entertainment and not world politics.
Political speeches are routinely made at commencement all over this country
Asna, here in US: 1-You are Muslim. 2-You are dark-skin from Southeast-Asia. 3-You have studied Palestinian history (Ukraine or Russia would be maintreams) 4-You wear hijab (you are lucky that the white Christian nationalist have not found you yet.) But behind you, there are 277,346,378 muslim in Southwest Asia have been supported and proud of your accomplishments. Someday you will have chance to lead them and help unfortunate people like Palestinians, Afghan, Sudanese ...
Seems you only care about dark skinned muslims. Why no words about Kosovo-Serbs🤔
If she studied Palestinian history she wouldn't say bs as she does
She’s Southeast Asian? I though she was Somalian-that’s cool.
Seems you only care about dark-skin muslims. Why no words about Kosovo-Serbs🤔 What, you dont care about the white-skin muslims🤷🏽♂
She needs to go back to the stone age countries she came from
*BEING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY* is more important than any speech at a university.......!!!
The only problem is they're on the wrong side of History. So I don't know where you got this stupid statement from but retract that
History is written by the Victor.
@@BushidoXBrown No they are not.
Didn’t Palestine elect Hamas? That’s the wrong side of history
OG Nut Seas surely thought they are also on the right side. Can't expect any better from proud sand monkeez
So, I just wondering what this lady's meaning of "complete abolishment" of the state of Israel means, if it doesn't mean deprivation of the same human right she is claiming to push. Now she thinks it is not a yes or no answer? And it is so surprising when she smartly switches between political correctness and the fundamental issues surrounding Palestine and Israel. Also, in one vain she wants the Complete Abolishment of Isreal, in the same way she talks about Human rights? Why does she think people aren't smart enough to see hate in this? I'm not Israel, I'm not an American, just reading history, listening to her and asking simple questions.
So the CNN reporter is asking her about what she wrote about the terror state Israel , and she has to explain herself. We all remember six months ago when the war criminal Netanyahu Gave a speech quoting the Bible, amalak: to kill them all, women, children, men, their livestock, and sucking babies… CNN forgot one of the terror state Colonels was on live TV and said they are human animals, no water, no food, no electricity, kill them all… Interesting how this poor girl is being interrogated and she has to justify one sentence that she wrote, but CNN forgot to mention all the speeches and the genocidal speeches from the terror state. This is totally absurd. Why should the state of Israel exist? Based on what ethnic cleansing, refusing to abide by every international law and United Nations resolution ? 194 from the United nation gives the right for all refugees the right to return to their homeland. CNN should do research on the agreement between German Jews and the Nazis, the agreement was called. Haavara Agreement - This is not a conspiracy theory. It has been documented throughout history. That the German Zionist Jews made an agreement with Nazi Germany, The agreements in short promised Zionist Jews from Germany, the right to settle in Palestine…. What gives them the right to return after 2000 years, yet the natives of Palestine don’t have the right to return after they were thrown out by the terrorist Zionist, in 1948. And left as refugees, homeless . CNN should look up all the massacres that were committed by the Zionist terrorist Jews in 1948 to create fear And ethnic cleanse all Palestinians … The CNN reporter did not write the questions they were handed to her by CNN Jerusalem Bureau in Israel. Every story concerning Palestine in Israel has to be vetted by CNN Jerusalem bureau, meaning the story the report has to be vetted by the terror state. This is how much control Israel has on the United States from our politicians, to Hollywood, to the mass media. No nation has the right to exist by ethnic cleansing the natives, and massacring them, and dehumanizing them. Really this is like such a oh I gotcha question, lol. Absurd! Research the Haavara agreement… and after you read it, you will see we are aiding and supporting Nazis.
You'd know the answer if the host let her finish her answer... You'd also know if you just googled it. I'll TL;DR it for you - You're wrong.
USC definitely made the correct choice. That interview made it clear.
The Streisand effect in action
Smh you guys are blind her speech deserved to get cancelled. She posted a link on her social media talking about the abolishment of Israel and Jewish students even expressed that her being selected to give the speech has created an intolerant environment towards them attending graduation. The university did the smart thing. This valedictorian brought this upon herself 🤷♀️
Thank God she was prevented. We don't need to hear any extremist talk. Fed up of it actually.
They try to silence her voice but guess what she is all over the media , this is the win win , thank you sister
She needs to return to her real homeland 🤮
You can tell the interviewer is hearing all her points, but her bosses😈
I'm glad she clarified she meant the system of apartheid. But neo-nazis are fine with the neo-Auschwitz of Gaza.
Say what...? The student was refusing to answer the questions and dancing around with gaslighting and lies. Did we watch the same interview🧐
@@tyrekedadon7910 Seek and you shall find
@@ICU1337 You're hearing what you want to hear.
@@DevoteeCT I'm hearing exactly what she said which was a bunch of gaslighting. Her inability to say yes or no speaks volumes to the real answer to the question.
When you cant answer a methodical answer and veered away from a simple question coming from a valictdotirian definitely isnt going to represent much of a peacemaker. When you use words like "abolished" simply isnt going to be a cohesive representation to bring unity in this country. Just because your graduating from a big college using big words rather using blissful and greatness if all can live in peace
That interviewer knew who is wrong and who is right you can tell she was fed trapping questions and was relieved when she wasn’t trapped by them money isn’t always worth your morals news lady
The host's producer was in her ear telling her to interrupt the student and force a YES or NO response. Why interrupt her while she's answering your question? Abby is such a puppet... she did this while questioning Bernie Sanders during the 2020 Presidential debate.
Well, it is a Yes or No question
@@roiissac158 you and I both have ears, so we both heard her eloquently explain why it was, in fact, NOT a yes or no answer and deserved a fully thought-out response.
@truettadevil First, she is a clown, confused, and doesn't know what she is talking about. She's talking about human rights in an Arab country? 🤣🤣🤣. There was not a single day throughout history that Arabs had human rights in Arab countries. Does Hamas and PLO allow human rights? So what exactly does she want?????
@truettadevil And if she was at least a brave clown, she could answer Yes, I want to abolish Israel, I would respect her a little more...as a clown
@@roiissac158 Yes or no answers for complex issues is for the benefit of idiots, purely. If you want to talk to a college-educated person who is a valedictorian about a complex issue and want a simple binary answer, you either don't know who you're talking to or are just oblivious to the world. Sometimes, you can't simply say yes or no, because life isn't that simple. That's like saying do you support abortion. Do you support welfare. Do you support paying taxes. Do you support having a clean environment. Those questions can be oversimplistic and if you speak in absolutes, you sound like a zealot, which most people may not be. If you don't want to be thoughtful, that's your own business. Don't force that on somebody else. The way a question is framed can be as important as the response, too. Rather than say "some post you liked said "Abolish Israel", do you support abolishing Israel, yes or no" and sounding like an idiot, it's better to ask what that means to them or is it accurate that they even support that or support its abolition fully, and then ask why.... if that's the point of an interview. Otherwise, it's meant to dismiss and write off a person. Let somebody disqualify themselves and such. Is that the point of media? It makes more sense to understand what the view is and how they came to it. Otherwise, why give any air to it?
