The President of UChicago has just signaled over email he will be intervening to end the encampment. He says he met with students. Let’s recap his bad faith efforts:

Before mob attack on pro-Palestinian encampment, UCLA Police Chief John Thomas failed to deliver a requested security plan, sources say. He said it would take 'minutes' to assemble a force but it took 3 hours. Calls for Thomas to step aside are growing. bit.ly/3waZM2l

So, a couple of guys put up a massive American flag overlooking the GW encampment.

This is how the encampment responded.

I know I say this a lot here, but Palestinian solidarity is the spotlight that exposes the lies & rot of any institution - govt, university, c3 - that doesn't live out its stated values, that is built on smoke and mirrors. So much is breaking apart and tumbling down around us.

Aaron Rupar You devils are ransacking the whole damn constitution.

One or two windows and a doorknob are easily remedied.

The vassalage of our patrimony to a bunch of apartheid ethnofascist babykillers can't.

TAAF has a unique responsibility to Asian Americans to take a stance against hate. As a major funder of Asian American organizing, TAAF’s partnership with the ADL’s Greenblatt is hypocritical and damaging to our movements. Sign on: bit.ly/NO2ZIONISM

Since its founding in 2021, The Asian American Foundation appointed anti-Arab, Islamophobic, & Zionist CEO & Nat'l Dir of the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt to its Board of Directors - a man with a long history of promoting discrimination & violence against members of our own community.

For over 200 days, over 70 organizations, including grantees, staff at The Asian American Foundation and advisory council members have demanded TAAF drop Jonathan Greenblatt. Today, he attended their convening. Disgusting. Zionism has no place in our movements.

After 8 hours of negotiations, UC Riverside and National Students for Justice in Palestine encampment leaders have come to an agreement: transparency, open discussion on divestment, and a discontinuation of Israeli study abroad. This is what real leadership and change looks like. ♥️🇵🇸

UPDATE on ASU women who had their hijabs removed:

They were never given their hijabs back & had access to head coverings *15 hours* later. Their access to practice their religion was obstructed.

The arrests were for the lowest level of misdemeanor in AZ: a class 3 misdemeanor.

My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.

I was at UCLA at the exact same time as Ahmed. The entire post goes from clueless naivety to misinformation to straight up lies.

You are wrong.

India is the largest buyer of Israeli arms - where do you think those arms are being used?

India routinely uses Israeli tactics to suppress, kill & disappear Kashmiri Muslims and entrench its occupation. Hindutva conceptualization of Indian identity and claims…
