CCNY administration said: starvation as a weapon of war? Thanks for the inspiration, Israel!

ACTION ALERT:
- Columbia University admin threatens MASS SUSPENSIONS and DISCIPLINARY PROBATION (until June 2025) to Gaza Solidarity Encampment participants who don’t leave by 2 PM.
- Do not sign anything with administration.
- Show up at NOON to protect the encampment! ❤️‍🔥

An incarcerated friend has been trying to send me a statement on Palestine for over a month - each time it’s flagged and returned. The censorship of Palestine and the censorship of people in prison, compounded to preserve genocidal conditions.

I do not possess an adequate vocabulary to fully explain how I feel watching this - an overwhelming and bodily reaction at once full of love for these beautiful kids and simultaneously complete rage at the monsters inflicting this hell on them.

🚨 BREAKING:

Negotiations between organizers and Columbia admin on divestment have FAILED‼️

President Minouche Shafik and the University refuse to divest and refuse to negotiate in good faith.

They will NOT disclose indirect financial holdings, only direct investments.

They…

Arrests happening less than an hour into the establishment of UGA’s encampment. If the last couple weeks tell us anything, the encampment will grow back with a vengeance!

Before the NOPD made arrests:

BREAKING:
LEAKED DOCUMENT from Columbia University admin detailing:

Thread 🧵

The fact that Notre Dame has a 15-minute protest rule that also requires advance campus approval and that this rule has been in place since the 1960s...😳

Anyway shout out to these students calling on Notre Dame to end that rule, disclose, and divest from israel.

Non-university Gaza Solidarity Encampment!

CUNY Gaza Solidarity Encampment going strong at CCNY 140th and Convent Ave. From the river to the sea, Palestine is almost free!

I am heartbroken: 💔 I have just been informed that another brilliant student of mine Mohammed Hamo 🇵🇸𓂆Mohammed𓂆🇵🇸 was murdered by Israel the night before the temporary truce.

Mohammed contributed to Electronic Intifada and was over the moon his piece was accepted and promised to work on…

Rafah is currently being attacked. This is what students are protesting.

New Jersey Cars for Palestine brings solidarity caravan to the CUNY encampment dropping off supplies: Popeyes, water, plates, utensils, etc.

A beautiful act of solidarity ♥️♥️♥️

Understand how Israel lobbyists target campus organizing....

Yesterday Cornell University suspended four students for their participation in the protest encampment on the arts quad. Why these four? Because they were the negotiating team and they were the names the admin knew. Two are international students who are now without visas. /1

If you are going to focus on what a professor said when faced with injustice, let it be this

Unexploded 2,000-pound Israeli bunker buster bomb in a densely-populated neighbourhood in Gaza; the 1st thing people wake up to & sleep next to

This bomb is a US-made GBU by Boeing

The UN estimates it'll take 14 YEARS to clear the 10,000s of tons of unexploded ordnance in Gaza!

THREAD:

the US-Israel lobby spends millions each year launching surveillance, lawsuits, and smear campaigns against college students and universities. student organizing is powerful, which is exactly why so much time and so many resources are devoted to its suppression (1/7)
