With the protection of the Israeli army, Israeli civilian gangs are unloading aid trucks and preventing them from reaching the hungry in Gaza. A barbaric, bloodthirsty society devoid of humanity. #Gazagenocidd
Rafah is being decimated, there is nowhere else left to go. Israel is now bombing more than 1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah, Gaza's last place of refuge. A massacre is happening in Rafah right now and the world is silent.
It is not lost on me that the only Pulitzer Prize winning poets speaking on Palestine, Columbia, and the violent suppression of students are Jericho Brown, a queer Black man teaching at Emory, and Natalie Diaz, a queer Indigenous woman teaching at ASU. Where are the rest of you?

I am watching a toddler die on a table in a field hospital in Rafah with half her face blown apart while listening to college students fight tears reporting on a police assault on their campus for protesting that, and I feel like I am losing my fucking mind.
Tonight in the United States of America, we are witnessing a militarized police force, funded by NYC taxpayers, arresting American students in the name of a foreign country that’s carrying out a genocide.
Shocking footage showing NYPD pushing student protesters down the stairs and brutally arresting them.
I am deeply alarmed by reports of mass graves in Gaza. Independent investigators must be allowed immediate access. The families of the dead have a right to know what happened. The world has a right to accountability for any violations of int’l law that may have taken place.
Context: In 1935, Adolf Hitler stripped Jews of German nationality, declaring them to be Reich subjects without citizenship, forbidden from even flying the German flag. Today, Hitler's successor, @Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz, declares that Palestinian nationality does not exist.

The constant spectre of “invasion” as they continually pummel Rafah, a sea of tents—they massacre Palestinians every single day. Do not lose sight of this. Protest every single sadistic strike, every single murder and loss of life.
FYI Israel said they’re invading Rafah no matter what. That’s why encampments are spreading. That’s why we must escalate. That’s why all eyes on Rafah.
A reminder that "Military-Aged Males" as a counterinsurgency category usually encompasses 14-65 year old men. Israel will claim they are all Hamas as it has done thus far in order to pretend it has a "proportionate" combatant-civilian ratio (I feel sick as I type this).

Israeli journalist Amir Bohbot unintentionally exposes another war crime by the Israeli occupation army: showcasing a military base for the 162nd Division inside an occupied school! Converting schools into military bases violates IHL.
Here’s a useful Arabic proverb for this kind of hypocrisy: “He kills the victim, and marches in his funeral”

“They feel “they have to be stronger”, Reavley said. “They’re observing children who are being treated next to their parents who’ve been resuscitated & dying. Compared with that, they lie there & think ‘I have pain’, but if someone asked about it, they don’t want to express it.”

The Palestinian kids of Gaza say “we miss school”. Ours is a world that has taken this away from children and still argues about complicatedness. Our world that loves to pulverise what it vanquishes for generations. A world far from love.
Why are universities investing in weapons manufacturing? Is a question we should all be asking.

The other connection? Zionists are the “outside agitators” in both situations.
zionists came to ucla wearing masks and are illegally spraying peaceful protestors with bear mace and shooting fireworks while the security/pigs around them do nothing. if this shit doesn't radicalize you, you are lost.
The connection is there. You are not far from the brutal edge of empire; it can and will be used against you. Not a question of it, but when. So join the protests, protect the encampments, and bring this whole wretched enterprise of genocide to a halt.
It does no one any favours to pretend like nothing is happening and no one is saying anything when there are massive demonstrations every week, and people being fired from jobs, and so on and so forth. It’s not enough, and there is a disparity, but silent we are not.
Consider as well, within that comparison, that the world is not in fact silent. These students are not silent, they are loud and courageous; the people, everywhere, are not silent. The silence, the corruption, is in mainstream media, it’s in elite boards, and governments,
Whole timeline like this. Consider that the violence of empire on its own youth, its students and faculty, while horrible and obscene, is comparatively gentle to the catastrophe it continues to unleash on Palestine.

NYPD going into Hamilton Hall with weapons drawn. This is Vietnam-era state violence. They’ve handled this in the worst way possible, caring more about a foreign entity than our students. Here goes the powder keg. The system is in free fall…
in no scenario did this need to happen, but boy did it really not need to happen at night. the calculated nature of this choice is so insidious.
#BREAKING just hours after Columbia University raid, police have poured into CUNY City College, sweeping the 'Liberated Zone' encampment, making mass arrests of protesters and removing tents.
we are supposed to believe that the young people working to end mass slaughter are the threat and that the riot squads sent in to brutalize them are the peacekeepers
This repression is the death rattle of a failing empire that fears losing its client state. Let your despair move you to act, to struggle, to resist, and to remain steadfast.
It is not lost on me that the only Pulitzer Prize winning poets speaking on Palestine, Columbia, and the violent suppression of students are Jericho Brown, a queer Black man teaching at Emory, and Natalie Diaz, a queer Indigenous woman teaching at ASU. Where are the rest of you?
the university that administers the Pulitzer Prizes is trying to make sure there is nobody on-site to document what is about to happen
