1. In Sydney, a mother & child were stabbed by a mentally ill white man, Joel Cauchi 2. When a brave security guard, Faraz Tahir, a Muslim refugee, stepped in to save them, Cauchi killed him 3. Top British media figures blamed the deaths on Muslims 4. Their tweets are still up
The word "Palestine" can apparently trigger NYT readers. Terms that journalists were instructed to avoid using were "Palestine", "genocide", "occupied territory", and "ethnic cleansing"! theintercept.com/2024/04/15/nyt…
In the manufactured fervor over antisemitism on campuses (ie students yelling ‘from the river to the sea’ or ‘free Palestine’) we have allowed the fomenting of a fire of Islamophobia & anti-Arab bigotry that accepts & spreads Arabs/Muslims as inherently violent & threatening. All…

Hypocrisy on steroids
It is amusing to see people of color at our college campuses, United Nations, and the State Department justify the unjustifiable. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is working on at least some dimension....just wouldn't have put my money on that being rationalizing a genocide

At least the US has been consistently pro-apartheid.....
On the same day Israeli forces airstrike a husband, his pregnant wife, and their 3-year-old child — and another 17 kids and two women — the White House releases a statement condemning hundreds of interfaith American students protesting the airstrikes in question

Happening now! #Strike4Gaza shutting down @UMich. No business as usual while our university funds genocide! Join a picket line, cancel class, buy nothing. Show some solidarity! #FreePalestine
U-M tenure-track faculty who want to endorse the report (and add their name to it) can do so here: forms.gle/Y4GQFZ5NRgyN3m… /end
I encourage you to read the report. The sample of qualitative open-ended responses, presented at the end of the report, are a must-read (185 out of 308 faculty/staff left qualitative comments!). They are articulate, nuanced, and highly informative 13/n
(3) it should develop a structural approach to combat the systemic Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian bias (as to why such an approach already doesn't exist in one of the leading public unis in the country with one of the largest Arab/Muslim population is baffling) 12/n
(2) there needs to be more evenhandedness in the university communication. It should foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for all members of its community, especially Palestinians and Muslims 11/n
So what do the survey findings mean for the U-M administration? (1) it needs to conduct formal assessments that engage faculty-wide and student-wide mandates, needs and priorities (that should not be the job of faculty) 10/n
It is hard to imagine how the results could be any bleaker But there is hope: the vast majority believe in U-M’s potential and hope for equitable belonging. 78% of respondents express readiness to contribute financially towards institutional efforts to combat Islamophobia 9/n
These sentiments are mirrored among students, with 39% expressing the idea of leaving UM due to its treatment or messaging about Palestinians 8/n
50% of surveyed faculty/staff have contemplated leaving U-M due to its messaging regarding Palestinians! This number is even higher for faculty/staff of color. 38% of faculty/staff have contemplated leaving due to U-M's treatment/messaging of Muslims 7/n
While we reject any efforts to pit Palestinians/Muslims and Jews against each other, these findings reflect the reality of this very positioning from university messaging and the perception of inequity regarding treatment of Palestinians and Muslims 6/n
89% of respondents deem the university's efforts to combat Islamophobia as inadequate (extremely poor or below average), reflecting a widespread sentiment across all groups U-M's efforts to address antisemitism are rated negatively by 25% of respondents 5/n
What we find even startled us: 90% of all respondents rate the university's communications regarding the Gaza conflict as either extremely poor or below average! These negative perceptions transcend demographic boundaries 4/n
We got 1,000+ responses within 24 hrs! The 1,435 respondents, recruited through our networks, are a non-random sample, but diverse: 38% are Muslim, 43% White, 25% MENA. In the absence of any data, these are quite informative generally (and especially about certain segments) 3/n

Hypocrisy on steroids
Right after voting against Palestinian statehood, the US envoy says that "this vote does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood."

StateSpox Patel says—to no one’s surprise—US is voting NO on UN resolution for Palestinian statehood. Watch Matt Lee question the admin’s point that direct negotiations is most “expeditious” way to statehood. Lee: I googled ‘expeditious’… How many years has it been since Oslo?
At least the US has been consistently pro-apartheid.....
