Everyone keeps leaving out 1985 when students took over Hamilton Hall, renamed it Mandela Hall, demanded the school divest from South Africa over apartheid. It was the longest siege--nearly three weeks-- of the university in its history. No riot police then, either.…

Oh!

Dehumanization of the Other comes in many forms and shades. For Palestinians it is not only Israeli soldiers bombing them out of existence, but it is also individual citizens destroying flour packs before they could reach starving Palestinians in #Gaza .
