For nearly 20 years, Danny Shaw was a professor at City College of New York until he was fired last month for his outspoken criticism of Israel's assault on Gaza - and the US role in the war. “They try to label us as terrorists, but what are our crimes? Student encampments, books, the truth?” says Shaw, describing the police response to anti-war protests.
As the unrest escalates into violent police raids and several thousand arrests, Close Up follows Shaw as he joins students demanding an end to the war in Gaza. “No matter how hard they attack us, discredit us, dehumanise us, arrest us, break our bones, bomb our people across the Middle East, we have a historical responsibility to speak out.” Shaw adds.

I truly respect this professor and you can see that he has great humanity in the way how he calmly speaks and how he has risked everything and still stands with righteousness. It's a shame that we only have snakes in our governments who lack this empathy.
