We are witnessing Palestine set us all free.

Good morning from Jenin Camp!

The faculty that are coming to protect their students in the US, you are true teachers. You inspire. You lead. You protect. You honor your oath to serve education by action not just classroom speeches.

I’m in awe. May your bravery cast light on these dark times we are living.

I’m resigning from the board of Columbia Global Reports (a nonprofit publishing imprint from Columbia University) in solidarity with Columbia University students, staff, and faculty, as well as the present academic boycott of the institution

Universities that have set up Gaza solidarity camps so far ( that I know of):
Barnard
UC Berkeley
Columbia
Emerson
U of Maryland
U of Michigan
MIT
The New School
NYU
Rutgers
Tufts
Vanderbilt
Washington U
Yale

Please add any that I missed

Come visit and support students calling for University divestment from Israel.

NYU faculty creating a ring around the Gaza solidarity encampment to protect their students after the school threatened mass arrest. So beautiful.

i wish people would listen to columbia student organizers and center gaza. our escalation is long overdue and we are escalating for palestine & nothing else. please have all eyes on palestine and do not cease coverage of gaza whatsoever.

For the past six months, the University of Columbia and Barnard College have created a climate of repression and harm for students peacefully protesting for an end of the Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. 🧵

having your whole dissertation committee arrested by the NYPD is so surreal ...

I'm praying this is a moment of change for this country

Nationalism is chametz, during Passover and always!

This year is unlike any other year. This Passover, at a time when the Israeli government continues its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza in full force, we cannot feast while there is famine. We gather to demand and dream

NYU is having their own faculty arrested instead of divesting from genocide. This is so, so low.

I asked them if any other ethnic clothing was banned. They said no, only this.

I asked them if they had a legal team verify this ban was not discriminatory. I was told they assumed that had happened but didn’t know for sure.

I let them know I’d be filing a challenge and left.

Today I tried to enter Queen’s Park wearing keffiyehs I inherited from my mom’s closet several years ago.

I was told I couldn’t wear my scarves— that they’re banned.

I told them I’m Palestinian and this is my heritage, and it’s my right to wear it and be treated equally.

This couple went to a peaceful protest with “JEW” written on her shirt, hoping to get yelled at. Instead she was ignored, with Jewish students holding a “Jews for Free Palestine” banner.

It’s not brave. It’s embarrassing and a shameful representation of our moral tradition.
