Amid mass pro-Palestine protests across multiple US universities over the ongoing Israel's war with Gaza, a video tweeted by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani showed two protesters completely clueless about the purpose of the demonstrations. In the video, reported to be recorded at New York University, one protester said that she "honestly" doesn't know what the varsity is doing and why they are protesting against Israel.
"The goal is to show our support for Palestine, and demanding that NYU stops...I honestly don't know all of what NYU is doing," the protester said, when asked what her primary goal pertaining to the demonstrations was.
She then turned to another protester, standing next to her, to ask if the latter knows what NYU is doing and why they are protesting.
"I wish I was more educated," the second protester replied.
The first protester then explained that she came from Columbia University, the flashpoint of the US university protests, after being told that students of New York University needed their support.
"I heard that there (are) lots of cops, some people were saying it was getting dangerous," she said.
Rudy Giuliani, 79, who visited Columbia University on Tuesday (April 23), slammed the protesters at his show, calling them "terribly misguided people". He ridiculed the rivalry between Columbia and Harvard - both witnessing massive protests - by saying that the former had to beat the latter at something, so "they figured they gotta beat them at Jewish hatred".
