We march now in Tel-Aviv, calling for an agreement to end the war, return the hostages back alive, and stop the killing of innocents in Gaza. What will bring safety & security to ourselves, our families, our two peoples? Not siege and occupation. Only Israeli-Palestinian peace.
UConn students have joined students at universities across the U.S. and set an encampment in defense of Palestinian life. UConnDivest established the encampment at Dove Tower (near Babbidge) on the Storrs campus and has occupied the space continuously since Thursday 4/25 at 5pm.
It’s so weird that relatively marginalized anti-Zionist Jews are the ones who get called “Kapo”; I would never use that insult but damn there’s Jonathan Greenblatt literally cozying up with mainstream/white supremacist forces, calling our Jewish children terrorist proxies.
Everyone in support of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment's cause is welcome to join us on the Main Green.
One demand students are calling for is Israeli divestment. Divestment is not a new request. In fact, it’s been asked for many times, most notably in the 80s to protest South African apartheid. What is less talked about is why colleges will resist divestment more than ever. 🧵/1
Anti-Semitism is vile; part of the struggle to get to this point has been about quarantining it, separating it from just criticisms of Israel. Hard to do with powerful interests on many sides conflating the two. And at this point it’s also fertile ground for agents provocateurs.

Shabbat shalom from Columbia’s Gaza solidarity encampment. Students decided to do the service by the gate so that suspended Jewish students could join the ritual. A reminder that so many of the student protesters are proudly Jewish — and the repression does not keep anyone safe.

Riot police with guns are more dangerous than students with signs. The kids are never right about everything, but they are always whisper-yelling what will become the accepted truth of the future. You cannot defeat fascist authoritarianism by mimicking it.

It’s obviously not worth the cost being paid in Gaza but this prolonged masks-off peek at the radical moral corruption of basically every institution in US cultural and political life sure is an education.
“They’ll say we’re disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we are disturbing the war.” Howard Zinn 1971
Beautiful
A whole lot of people who've spent years calling the younger generation "snowflakes" now apparently want armed guys in riot gear to protect them from teenagers sitting peacefully on the ground
"Too many of our people are worshipping a false idol once again. They are enraptured by it, they are drunk on it, they are profaned by it. And that false idol, it's called Zionism"—@NaomiAKlein at the "Seder in the Streets," where about 300 Jews were arrested (via @democracynow)

We march now in Tel-Aviv, calling for an agreement to end the war, return the hostages back alive, and stop the killing of innocents in Gaza. What will bring safety & security to ourselves, our families, our two peoples? Not siege and occupation. Only Israeli-Palestinian peace.
UConn students have joined students at universities across the U.S. and set an encampment in defense of Palestinian life. UConnDivest established the encampment at Dove Tower (near Babbidge) on the Storrs campus and has occupied the space continuously since Thursday 4/25 at 5pm.
This guy is so close to understanding something.
Notice how Palestinian flags are always paired with Irish flags, while Israeli flags are paired with UK flags.
I hope other campus protests adopt this language. You can recognize the context of violent oppression in which Oct 7 occurred AND oppose violence against all civilians, including Israeli civilians. The ANC didn't target civilians. This movement can hold that principle too.
@DovWaxman Thanks for sharing, Dov. For what it’s worth I was v heartened that the NEU protest organizers included in their statement of principles an explicit denunciation of Hamas’ attacks on civilians (which I of course agree were an atrocity).
@MatanaRoberts Adrianne Lenker hands down.
Settler colonialism is turning into the new neoliberalism--a real thing that people twist to whatever political point they want to make that has basically nothing to do with the original issue.
Over the last 25 years, American universities have become more global institutions. Now, many American Zionists who have lived in an AIPAC-ADL-Acela bubble are confused and frightened about why more cosmopolitan students and faculty do not share their weird extremist views.
Controversial thought experiment: What would happen if companies told universities that they wouldn’t hire ANY of their students unless the schools take decisive action to end blatant antisemitism on campus. After all, no company would use an executive search firm with even one…

The #Jets are picking up Alijah Vera-Tucker's fifth-year option, Joe Douglas said.
It’s so weird that relatively marginalized anti-Zionist Jews are the ones who get called “Kapo”; I would never use that insult but damn there’s Jonathan Greenblatt literally cozying up with mainstream/white supremacist forces, calling our Jewish children terrorist proxies.
Everyone in support of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment's cause is welcome to join us on the Main Green.
One demand students are calling for is Israeli divestment. Divestment is not a new request. In fact, it’s been asked for many times, most notably in the 80s to protest South African apartheid. What is less talked about is why colleges will resist divestment more than ever. 🧵/1
I will continue to root for the success of JD & Saleh. As should you
@oliviaebertz @BrownUniversity Since 1986 at Johs Hopkins where the faculty came out to support students building shanties vs Apartheid, and 38 years of academia since, I’ve never seen faculty being threatened like this
The ethic of care and commitment being enacted by faculty toward students around the country should be supported and celebrated. All the rest, as we Jews say, is commentary.
