It’s amazing how the presence of one Muslim black woman in Congress has gotten so many alleged liberals to reveal that they’re actually conservatives.
When politicians and college administrators weaponize the charge of anti-Semitism to silence pro-Palestine voices, it’s intended to silence the tens of thousands of anti-Zionist American Jews who have been speaking out against the occupation for years. bit.ly/3QhBV7O
Columbia University associate professor Joseph Howley says allegations of “antisemitism” are being weaponized against pro-Palestinian student protesters.
Universities literally attract & send off students under banner: “change the world” & now invite police to brutalize their students for trying to do just that. Notably the same administrations exclaimed #BlackLivesMatter at whose core is a critique of police & prisons #Fail #Gaza
One day, I’ll talk more about how being a Black prof at a university like NU, white people feel as if they can police me: my social media, my journalism work, everything. The emails/messages they send demanding sh!t of me. It’s relentless & requires so much restraint on my end.
There is a deep psychic and visceral connection that binds countless people from diverse backgrounds to the gruesome oppression of Palestinians and to the enabling indifference to it shown by so many North American and European observers. A must-read. thetriibe.com/2024/04/gaza-a…
Northwestern President Michael Schill changed the student code of conduct *THIS MORNING* to ban tents from campus as students set up their Palestine protest encampment. And he threatened students with suspension, expulsion or criminal charges. chicago.suntimes.com/israel-hamas-w…
at some point, we’re going to need to have a discussion as a country about the racism of so many white americans habitually, cynically & so comfortably referring to large protests comprised of—or in support of—palestinian, muslim, arab or non-white people as ‘antisemitic’
if something is genuinely antisemic, you call it out every time but the campus debate is not about that. white ppl are weaponizing the term in order to try to intimidate & silence large groups of black & brown people as well as other jews—and it’s deeply offensive & unacceptable
If another country arrested that many students and professors in one day, the US would be deeply concerned
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is at it again. Campaigning for his third term in office, he is once again using election campaign rallies to incite violence against India’s Muslim communities. Here, he is calling Muslims "infiltrators" and "those who have more children."…
I think we can stop pretending now. The propaganda of hate is loud enough.
There are other film festivals around the world featuring filmmakers of Palestinian descent/films about Palestinians but the @ChiPalFilmFest, which kicks off this weekend at @filmcenter, is the longest running. My latest: chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/202…
BREAKING: U.S. Secretary of State is sitting on recommendations to sanction Israeli military units tied to rapes and killings. Powerful story from @BrettMmurphy of @propublica. propublica.org/article/israel…

Not clear to me how honoring a respected journalist who was killed for her journalism would be "taking sides"--except taking the side of press freedom, which is surely the side we should all be on? themediamix.co/p/the-overseas…

As @davemckinney reports, Matt Moog "is a lame-duck CEO now overseeing those layoffs that he said wouldn’t happen," and they come after he took a nearly 19% pay bump to put him at $633,310 a year. wbez.org/stories/chicag…
A Palestinian-American doctor, Dr. Thaer Ahmad, walked out of the meeting with President Biden before it was over because “I wanted to let them know what it feels like for somebody to say something and then walk away from them and not hear them out, not hear their response.”

This is going to sound slightly funny and I hope I don’t regret this, but if you’re a Chicago-based mutual who is not in journalism and not Muslim and you want to grab coffee, DM me! Trying to expand my network
crazy that a child was murdered and his mother stabbed and also three young men were shot, all because they are palestinian and that’s not even in the conversation about who is safe in america right now
Student journalists at WKCR are having to correct professional media, including CNN, claiming the Columbia protesters aren't students. What a black mark on our industry, forcing student reporters to fact-check our unsubstantiated claims while they watch police raid their campus
No one asks how Palestinian students are supposed to "feel safe" at institutions who invest in and profit off of the murder of their relatives.
People who are saying stuff in this moment like: “I believe in the right to protest, but…” “I believe in human rights, but… “I believe in the rule of law, but…” “I believe in democracy, but…” “I believe in justice, but…” really don’t actually believe in any of it.
He’s wrong — a majority of Americans disapprove of Israeli military action in Gaza (Gallup, late March poll). But Nate also misunderstands the point of these student protests. It’s not to mirror popular sentiment; they’re protesting to further *change* that sentiment.
Ivy League students might plausibly be a leading indicator for *elite* sentiment. But to a first approximation, they are irrelevant to forecasting popular sentiment. And to a second approximation, they are a contrary indicator.
Chicago is a beautiful city
It’s amazing how the presence of one Muslim black woman in Congress has gotten so many alleged liberals to reveal that they’re actually conservatives.
Memorial to the Palestinian journalists killed by Israel, outside the White House Correspondents Dinner which is filled with the those who sponsor this slaughter and those who provide the propaganda for it.
As @Columbia University board of trustees send an email saying how antisemitism is totally unacceptable, then mentioned nothing about anti-Palestinian, Islamophobia, racism and xenophobia that students protesting for Palestine were subjected to. 🧵
“If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.” - Zora Neale Hurston
I visited the Gaza solidarity camp at Columbia yesterday and wanted to share a few very brief observations. First, it's one of the most highly organised student protests I've ever seen. They have media and de-escalation training, a nutzone to protest students with allergies.
We talked about solidarity - its possibilities and messiness - and why Asian American scholars must center the complexities faced by communities & orgs in their research @AAAStudies.
It should be seen as a major journalistic failure that people are actively refusing to read the news about the protests and about Palestine in general because they no longer have faith that the media will report what’s happening accurately.
It looks like Northeastern is admitting that the "kill the Jews" comment came from a pro-Israel provocateur but they think this still justifies smearing and arresting pro-Palestinian students. I want to know how this is congruent with any concepts of free speech & academic…
response from Northeastern spokesperson Renata Nyul
I did hear "kill the Jews," said by a counter-protester holding an Israeli flag, seemingly as a provocative joke in response to the group's pro-Palestine chants. Not sure if that's the specific incident @Northeastern leadership is referring to
What began as a student demonstration two days ago, was infiltrated by professional organizers with no affiliation to Northeastern. Last night, the use of virulent antisemitic slurs, including 'Kill the Jews,' crossed the line. We cannot tolerate this kind of hate on our campus."
This thread is a prime example of the misleading ways that antisemitism is often reported. I can tell you as EIC of @JewishCurrents that often we look into a high-profile antisemitic occurrence and it falls apart under scrutiny. Most of the time, no one corrects the record.
