Schools should let students protest, they absolutely should not call the cops, and they should give protesters very wide leeway. But protesters don't get to bar other students from community facilities or demand ideological fealty before other students can use common areas.

“Hamas's political survival is all but assured, w/ or w/o Rafah. Why risk Palestinian & Israeli lives? Bring them home now!” Many who loathe Hamas won’t want to hear that. But it’s where pragmatic political realism & the humane determination to save 🇮🇱 & 🇵🇸 lives must lead us.

Yes. There’s a huge amount of untapped potential for broader coalition building & influence being lost due to silliness like this. Sympathy for Palestinians is more widespread than what we’re seeing in protests, in part bc many sympathetic people are turned off by this discourse.
Another example of sane campus leadership, this time from Wesleyan University’s president, Michael Roth.

Mosab, by the way, is a poet. A famous Palestinian poet.
Every once in a while I get a reminder of an old post or tweet that Bassem commented on and I wonder how much we missed out on losing him so early Bassem mastered the art of building welcoming political space and articulating principled positions while avoiding alienating people

The college seniors getting their graduations canceled right now are the same class that lost their graduations to covid lockdowns 4 years ago.
College presidents don’t seem to grasp how easily things could go sideways, and what will happen if a student is shot. We all saw that Atlanta cop manhandling an older professor and screaming at her that she’s a fascist. They’ve been primed to think these protests are dangerous.
The complete disconnect happening right now in terms of rhetoric coming from the Saudi Foreign Ministry and the U.S. State Department on this issue is mind boggling

Thoughtful post. The more I’ve watched post-Oct 7 discourses, the more confidently grounded I’ve felt in the realisation that my strongest commitment in this & all polarising conflicts is not to one “side” per se, but to the consistent & universal application of human rights.

Yes. That many hasbarists & bad faith actors are eager to distort Omar’s every word, & that she experiences constant, awful Islamophobia & racist criticisms, doesn’t make her wording here right. Focus should stay on getting more aid to Palestinians, ceasefire & freeing hostages.

Criticising Zionism is entirely legitimate. Being an anti-Zionist is entirely legitimate (I am anti-Zionist myself). However, if you're using anti-Zionism as a way of sanitising your antisemitism we can tell almost immediately.
Similarly, if you target someone - let's say a civil servant - with allegations that they're misusing their politically restricted role to advocate for Israel, but the sum of your evidence is that they went to a 'Zionist school', it is so obvious that what you're saying is that…
Putting it in even simpler terms; An antisemitic trope such as "Jews control the mainstream media" doesn't suddenly become not antisemitic if a person says "Zionists control the media". Because it is obvious to most sensible people that this is a reworked antisemitic trope.
One significant issue I see is that those of us who make legitimate critiques of Zionism and hold principled anti-Zionist positions are constantly being undermined by the likes of David Miller and other Iranian regime stooges who do actually use anti-Zionism as a cover for their…
@MonicaLMarks And thank you for all your thoughtful analysis over the last few months. Your thinking and writing on these issues have allowed me to better understand them.
It is very interesting that students are largely not leaning into free speech / assembly / expression norms. Stuff like this is troubling and objectionable, but not actually in opposition to the case many students have made for their own protests. The student argument has not…
Schools should let students protest, they absolutely should not call the cops, and they should give protesters very wide leeway. But protesters don't get to bar other students from community facilities or demand ideological fealty before other students can use common areas.
