And me who thought a week ago that US police militarised responses to students standing against genocide was disproportionate...
Europeans 'democraties' prefer bulldozers to silence those who dare to raise issues with their complicity!

The annihilation of Gaza's educational infrastructure was recorded & testified to months ago. Now journalists at major news orgs purport to reveal these facts. Academics who missed this should also be questioning the sources of their own ignorance about our colleagues in #Gaza .

Institutional silencing makes you feel outnumbered and alone. I thought a handful of us would stand up, isolated in a hostile crowd. But the whole room stood in solidarity with Palestine and to demand ISA endorse BDS. A truly beautiful and important moment. #ISA2024 ISA

I feel crazy that all of this stuff was reported on at the time, filmed and everything, by Palestinians, and yet now it's a scoop because NBC reports on it months later.
