4:44 4:47 deadly Violence by Israeli settlers and

4:49 4:51 Israel's military and alleged treatment
4:51 4:53 of Palestinians Chief foreign
4:53 4:57 correspondent Richard angle has the
4:57 4:59 story with tensions already high ey
4:59 5:03 across the Middle East now there's this
5:03 5:05 these Palestinian men were apprehended
5:05 5:07 by Israeli soldiers Palestinians are
5:07 5:10 comparing this video to the abuse and
5:10 5:12 humiliation carried out by US troops at
5:12 5:15 Iraq's Abu grab prison two human rights
5:15 5:17 groups tell us they are still
5:17 5:19 investigating the circumstances while
5:19 5:21 it's unclear exactly where or when the
5:21 5:23 incident took place and the
5:23 5:26 circumstances surrounding it Israel is
5:26 5:28 not denying it in a statement the Israel
5:28 5:31 Defense Force tells NBC News the conduct
5:31 5:33 seen in the footage is deplorable and
5:33 5:36 does not comply with the Army's orders
5:36 5:38 we are familiar with the incident and is
5:38 5:39 being reviewed by the commanders
5:39 5:41 disciplinary actions will be applied
5:41 5:44 accordingly it was not an isolated
5:44 5:46 incident this photo on Israeli social
5:46 5:50 media shows three men stripped bound and
5:50 5:53 confined in an animal pen one of them is
5:53 5:54 Muhammad mat so you can still see where
5:54 5:58 the uh wires were today he told me he
5:58 6:00 was beaten by Jewish settlers and
6:00 6:03 Israeli troops for over 8 hours several
6:03 6:05 days after the Hamas Massacre he says he
6:05 6:09 was urinated on rolled in manure kicked
6:09 6:11 and hit with rifles the Israeli military
6:11 6:14 tonight told us a commander involved was
6:14 6:15 removed from his post and an
6:15 6:17 investigation has been opened do you
6:17 6:19 think they're doing this more now
6:19 6:21 emboldened taking more aggressive action
6:21 6:24 after October 7th
6:24 6:27 yeah before it was only physical assault
6:27 6:30 after they started shooting attacking he
6:30 6:32 said mat is a humanitarian worker for
6:32 6:35 the Palestinian Authority the moderate
6:35 6:37 Palestinian government in the West Bank
6:37 6:40 that Israel hopes will replace Hamas in
6:40 6:43 Gaza on October 7th Hamas murdered 1,400
6:43 6:46 Israelis including entire families and
6:46 6:49 took more than 240 hostages including
6:49 6:52 children since then Jewish settlers
6:52 6:54 living on Palestinian land on the West
6:54 6:56 Bank have dramatically increased attacks
6:56 6:59 on Palestinians we're seen an uprise in
6:59 7:03 both settler and Military um violence
7:03 7:06 towards Palestinian in the West Bank and
7:06 7:10 I think that uh in a way the settlers
7:10 7:13 mainly are exploiting the fact that all
7:13 7:17 eyes are on Gaza in order to you know
7:17 7:20 complete their task and take over more
7:20 7:23 and more Palestinian land Elana and KH
7:23 7:26 Basir were collecting olives in the West
7:26 7:30 Bank he's 77 she's 69 they're Christians
7:30 7:33 the couple says Jewish settlers last
7:33 7:36 week attacked them without
7:36 7:38 provocation told me one of the settlers
7:38 7:41 grabbed him in the groin squeezed and
7:41 7:44 said I'm going to crush them he was then
7:44 7:46 hit repeatedly with a heavy stick
7:46 7:50 leaving bruises all over his body Elana
7:50 7:51 tried to
7:51 7:54 intervene I said we're old why are you
7:54 7:57 hitting us then she says she was hit her
7:57 7:59 arm is broken in two places from a
7:59 8:03 single blow KH never called the
8:03 8:06 police they don't do anything he says
8:06 8:08 they don't even answer and Richard now
8:08 8:10 the UN is saying there's been a spike in
8:10 8:13 settler
8:13 8:16 violence a new UN report says that
8:16 8:17 settler violence has increased
8:17 8:19 significantly since the October 7th
8:19 8:21 attacks and that in almost half the
8:21 8:24 cases Israeli Security Forces
8:24 8:26 accompanied or actively supported the
8:26 8:28 attackers all right Richard angelon I

8:41 8:44 details for a second straight day the
8:44 8:46 Trump Suns back in court Eric Trump
8:46 8:48 appearing combative at times under
8:48 8:50 questioning by the New York attorney
8:50 8:52 general's office accused along with his
8:52 8:54 brother and father of exaggerating
8:54 8:56 assets on the Trump organization's books
8:56 8:58 to get better interest rates on loans
8:58 9:00 Eric testifying he ran the day-to-day
9:00 9:02 operations of the Trump organization
9:02 9:04 while his father was in office but
9:04 9:06 denied having anything to do with the
9:06 9:08 disputed financial statements submitted
9:08 9:11 to Banks and lenders saying I pour
9:11 9:13 concrete echoing his deposition
9:13 9:17 testimony I pour concrete I operate
9:17 9:18 properties I don't think I've ever had
9:18 9:20 any involvement in the statement of
9:20 9:21 financial condition to the best of my
9:21 9:23 knowledge but the state points to emails
9:23 9:25 indicating Eric's involvement and Eric's
9:25 9:27 signature on letters that declared the
9:27 9:30 annual financial statements free of
9:30 9:32 misstatements and fraud these letters a
9:32 9:34 critical piece of evidence also bearing
9:34 9:36 the signature of his older brother Don
9:36 9:39 Jr again telling the judge today he
9:39 9:41 relied on accountants to compile the
9:41 9:43 financial statements you pay experts
9:43 9:46 millions of dollars to be experts you
9:46 9:48 sign off on what they give
9:48 9:52 you and you're liable if this was to
9:52 9:54 become president where you could have an
9:54 9:56 overzealous attorney general go after
9:56 9:58 any business in New York uh this city
9:58 10:00 would would be in even worse shape than
10:00 10:03 it already is today and Laura ianka

10:05 10:07 she is as of now Lester but her lawyers
10:07 10:09 are hoping that won't happen and asking
10:09 10:11 an appeals court to not only block the
10:11 10:13 judge's decision that required her to
10:13 10:15 show up in court but paus the entire
10:15 10:18 trial no indication of when that appeals
10:18 10:19 court might actually rule all right

13:20 13:22 out at another major university can
13:22 13:27 schools bring calm to their campuses
13:27 13:29 next we're back now with a massive
13:29 13:31 protest in Philadelphia at this hour a
13:31 13:33 crowd of demonstrators overtaking the
13:33 13:36 city's main train station calling for a
13:36 13:40 ceasefire in the Israel Hamas war and
13:40 13:41 with tension increasing on college
13:41 13:43 campuses over the warp Cornell
13:43 13:45 University has cancelled classes
13:45 13:48 tomorrow citing extraordinary stress
13:48 13:50 after anti-semitic threats and the
13:50 13:52 arrest of a student who allegedly
13:52 13:54 threatened to kill Jews Stephanie gos
13:54 13:57 has more on these escalating tensions on
13:57 13:59 campuses visiting two Tain University in
13:59 14:02 New Orleans that's seen a protest turned
14:02 14:05 violent at Tain University's campus in
14:05 14:07 New Orleans today Jewish students
14:07 14:10 organized a Unity rally the scene a far
14:10 14:13 cry from what took place last week just
14:13 14:15 off campus a clash between pro-israel
14:15 14:18 students and a pro Palestinian group it
14:18 14:20 was terrifying second-year law student
14:20 14:24 Ryan zamos is Jewish he shot the video
14:24 14:26 an Israeli flag was being burned and a
14:26 14:27 brave two-lane student attempted to grab
14:27 14:30 the flag but before a fight broke out a
14:30 14:32 two lane student was injured in the
14:32 14:34 brawl three others who don't attend the
14:34 14:37 University were arrested the violence
14:37 14:40 that occurred outside our campus um was
14:40 14:43 horrific and we condemned it tane
14:43 14:45 President Michael Fitz says people came
14:45 14:48 to campus to incite violence is it
14:48 14:52 possible to have a fair-minded debate on
14:52 14:55 this war that doesn't descend into hate
14:55 14:59 speech and threats or violence the
14:59 15:02 promise of a university is exactly that
15:02 15:05 to engage in those conversations that's
15:05 15:08 what we're about mutual respect it's our
15:08 15:11 hope that you know we can kind of help
15:11 15:14 Foster that kind of meaningful
15:14 15:16 productive dialogue because otherwise
15:16 15:20 it's just chaos Hannah Levon and Gabby
15:20 15:22 leeler work for T Lane's independent
15:22 15:26 paper the hollow blue I think that um
15:26 15:28 the oper of violence in last week
15:28 15:31 rallies were definitely shocking is it
15:31 15:34 fair to say that some students are
15:34 15:37 scared right now absolutely threats and
15:37 15:39 violence are easy to identify president
15:39 15:42 Fitz says hate speech can be harder the
15:42 15:45 question is at what moment uh something
15:45 15:48 becomes hateful um and we need to call
15:48 15:50 that out as hateful the day of the
15:50 15:52 protest the pro Palestinian group had
15:52 15:54 banners that said from The River To The
15:54 15:57 Sea a slogan that is often used by Hamas
15:57 15:59 and what many Jewish people see as a
15:59 16:02 call for violence from the river to the
16:02 16:04 sea is the elimination of Israel as a
16:04 16:06 state and with that means where those 12
16:06 16:08 million Jews going to go Hannah and
16:08 16:10 Gabby have spoken to students who
16:10 16:12 disagree I believe that they interpret
16:12 16:14 it as a call for Palestinian Liberation
16:14 16:16 but I think the most important thing is
16:16 16:18 that it has the potential um to feel
16:18 16:20 like hate speech to others and I think
16:20 16:22 that you really have to balance those
16:22 16:24 two perspectives but we're not making
16:24 16:29 room for both sides president Fitz sees
16:29 16:31 potential in this divisive moment for
16:31 16:33 students to teach each other something

4:44 4:47 deadly Violence by Israeli settlers and

4:49 4:51 Israel's military and alleged treatment
4:51 4:53 of Palestinians Chief foreign
4:53 4:57 correspondent Richard angle has the
4:57 4:59 story with tensions already high ey
4:59 5:03 across the Middle East now there's this
5:03 5:05 these Palestinian men were apprehended
5:05 5:07 by Israeli soldiers Palestinians are
5:07 5:10 comparing this video to the abuse and
5:10 5:12 humiliation carried out by US troops at
5:12 5:15 Iraq's Abu grab prison two human rights
5:15 5:17 groups tell us they are still
5:17 5:19 investigating the circumstances while
5:19 5:21 it's unclear exactly where or when the
5:21 5:23 incident took place and the
5:23 5:26 circumstances surrounding it Israel is
5:26 5:28 not denying it in a statement the Israel
5:28 5:31 Defense Force tells NBC News the conduct
5:31 5:33 seen in the footage is deplorable and
5:33 5:36 does not comply with the Army's orders
5:36 5:38 we are familiar with the incident and is
5:38 5:39 being reviewed by the commanders
5:39 5:41 disciplinary actions will be applied
5:41 5:44 accordingly it was not an isolated
5:44 5:46 incident this photo on Israeli social
5:46 5:50 media shows three men stripped bound and
5:50 5:53 confined in an animal pen one of them is
5:53 5:54 Muhammad mat so you can still see where
5:54 5:58 the uh wires were today he told me he
5:58 6:00 was beaten by Jewish settlers and
6:00 6:03 Israeli troops for over 8 hours several
6:03 6:05 days after the Hamas Massacre he says he
6:05 6:09 was urinated on rolled in manure kicked
6:09 6:11 and hit with rifles the Israeli military
6:11 6:14 tonight told us a commander involved was
6:14 6:15 removed from his post and an
6:15 6:17 investigation has been opened do you
6:17 6:19 think they're doing this more now
6:19 6:21 emboldened taking more aggressive action
6:21 6:24 after October 7th
6:24 6:27 yeah before it was only physical assault
6:27 6:30 after they started shooting attacking he
6:30 6:32 said mat is a humanitarian worker for
6:32 6:35 the Palestinian Authority the moderate
6:35 6:37 Palestinian government in the West Bank
6:37 6:40 that Israel hopes will replace Hamas in
6:40 6:43 Gaza on October 7th Hamas murdered 1,400
6:43 6:46 Israelis including entire families and
6:46 6:49 took more than 240 hostages including
6:49 6:52 children since then Jewish settlers
6:52 6:54 living on Palestinian land on the West
6:54 6:56 Bank have dramatically increased attacks
6:56 6:59 on Palestinians we're seen an uprise in
6:59 7:03 both settler and Military um violence
7:03 7:06 towards Palestinian in the West Bank and
7:06 7:10 I think that uh in a way the settlers
7:10 7:13 mainly are exploiting the fact that all
7:13 7:17 eyes are on Gaza in order to you know
7:17 7:20 complete their task and take over more
7:20 7:23 and more Palestinian land Elana and KH
7:23 7:26 Basir were collecting olives in the West
7:26 7:30 Bank he's 77 she's 69 they're Christians
7:30 7:33 the couple says Jewish settlers last
7:33 7:36 week attacked them without
7:36 7:38 provocation told me one of the settlers
7:38 7:41 grabbed him in the groin squeezed and
7:41 7:44 said I'm going to crush them he was then
7:44 7:46 hit repeatedly with a heavy stick
7:46 7:50 leaving bruises all over his body Elana
7:50 7:51 tried to
7:51 7:54 intervene I said we're old why are you
7:54 7:57 hitting us then she says she was hit her
7:57 7:59 arm is broken in two places from a
7:59 8:03 single blow KH never called the
8:03 8:06 police they don't do anything he says
8:06 8:08 they don't even answer and Richard now
8:08 8:10 the UN is saying there's been a spike in
8:10 8:13 settler
8:13 8:16 violence a new UN report says that
8:16 8:17 settler violence has increased
8:17 8:19 significantly since the October 7th
8:19 8:21 attacks and that in almost half the
8:21 8:24 cases Israeli Security Forces
8:24 8:26 accompanied or actively supported the
8:26 8:28 attackers all right Richard angelon I

8:41 8:44 details for a second straight day the
8:44 8:46 Trump Suns back in court Eric Trump
8:46 8:48 appearing combative at times under
8:48 8:50 questioning by the New York attorney
8:50 8:52 general's office accused along with his
8:52 8:54 brother and father of exaggerating
8:54 8:56 assets on the Trump organization's books
8:56 8:58 to get better interest rates on loans
8:58 9:00 Eric testifying he ran the day-to-day
9:00 9:02 operations of the Trump organization
9:02 9:04 while his father was in office but
9:04 9:06 denied having anything to do with the
9:06 9:08 disputed financial statements submitted
9:08 9:11 to Banks and lenders saying I pour
9:11 9:13 concrete echoing his deposition
9:13 9:17 testimony I pour concrete I operate
9:17 9:18 properties I don't think I've ever had
9:18 9:20 any involvement in the statement of
9:20 9:21 financial condition to the best of my
9:21 9:23 knowledge but the state points to emails
9:23 9:25 indicating Eric's involvement and Eric's
9:25 9:27 signature on letters that declared the
9:27 9:30 annual financial statements free of
9:30 9:32 misstatements and fraud these letters a
9:32 9:34 critical piece of evidence also bearing
9:34 9:36 the signature of his older brother Don
9:36 9:39 Jr again telling the judge today he
9:39 9:41 relied on accountants to compile the
9:41 9:43 financial statements you pay experts
9:43 9:46 millions of dollars to be experts you
9:46 9:48 sign off on what they give
9:48 9:52 you and you're liable if this was to
9:52 9:54 become president where you could have an
9:54 9:56 overzealous attorney general go after
9:56 9:58 any business in New York uh this city
9:58 10:00 would would be in even worse shape than

10:05 10:07 she is as of now Lester but her lawyers

10:09 10:11 an appeals court to not only block the
10:11 10:13 judge's decision that required her to
10:13 10:15 show up in court but paus the entire

14:45 14:48 to campus to incite violence is it
14:48 14:52 possible to have a fair-minded debate on
14:52 14:55 this war that doesn't descend into hate
14:55 14:59 speech and threats or violence the
14:59 15:02 promise of a university is exactly that
15:02 15:05 to engage in those conversations that's
15:05 15:08 what we're about mutual respect it's our
15:08 15:11 hope that you know we can kind of help
15:11 15:14 Foster that kind of meaningful
15:14 15:16 productive dialogue because otherwise
15:16 15:20 it's just chaos Hannah Levon and Gabby
15:20 15:22 leeler work for T Lane's independent
15:22 15:26 paper the hollow blue I think that um
15:26 15:28 the oper of violence in last week
15:28 15:31 rallies were definitely shocking is it
15:31 15:34 fair to say that some students are
15:34 15:37 scared right now absolutely threats and
15:37 15:39 violence are easy to identify president
15:39 15:42 Fitz says hate speech can be harder the
15:42 15:45 question is at what moment uh something
15:45 15:48 becomes hateful um and we need to call
15:48 15:50 that out as hateful the day of the
15:50 15:52 protest the pro Palestinian group had
15:52 15:54 banners that said from The River To The
15:54 15:57 Sea a slogan that is often used by Hamas
15:57 15:59 and what many Jewish people see as a
15:59 16:02 call for violence from the river to the
16:02 16:04 sea is the elimination of Israel as a
16:04 16:06 state and with that means where those 12
16:06 16:08 million Jews going to go Hannah and
16:08 16:10 Gabby have spoken to students who
16:10 16:12 disagree I believe that they interpret
16:12 16:14 it as a call for Palestinian Liberation
16:14 16:16 but I think the most important thing is
16:16 16:18 that it has the potential um to feel
16:18 16:20 like hate speech to others and I think
16:20 16:22 that you really have to balance those
16:22 16:24 two perspectives but we're not making
16:24 16:29 room for both sides president Fitz sees
16:29 16:31 potential in this divisive moment for
16:31 16:33 students to teach each other something
16:33 16:35 we've got to keep students safe and they
16:35 16:37 will remember what they learned from it
16:37 16:38 and what they learned about their
16:38 16:41 ability to come together as part of it
16:41 16:43 the hope is that empathy and
16:43 16:46 understanding will overcome the hate
