Jeff Sharlet Dartmouth 🌲 Those cops were brutal to me. I promise I did absolutely nothing wrong. I was standing with a line of women faculty in the their 60s to 80s trying to protect our students. I have now been banned from the campus where I have taught for 34 years.

My four-year-old was reading the New Yorker when he turned to me gravely and asked 'Daddy, why aren't there any funny sitcoms anymore?' And when I told him 'Because of the extreme left and PC crap,' he started crying.

Professor Steve Tamari is a historian of the early modern Middle East. He is a Palestinian Quaker from Jaffa and Little Rock. I look forward to a statement from the American Historical Association.

truly devastating how fragile some of yalls staunchly held principles are. the first amendment warriors. the democracy preachers. the freedom cherishers. every moral fiber eaten alive, first by thousands of dead children in gaza then by thousands of protesting kids in the us

Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel prize winner and one of the most important Jewish intellectuals in the world, adds his voice to debunk the narrative that pro-Palestinian protests on campuses is antisemitic. He calls it 'normal human empathy':

Das sind Antikriegsdemos, an welchen Menschen unterschiedlicher Religionen teilnehmen. Der deutsche Diskurs is provinziell und verrutscht. Nur deutsche oder europäische Perspektiven gelesen und jetzt sich in globalen Geschehnissen nicht mehr orientieren können.

Over 5% of Gaza Strip's population has been killed or wounded since October 7, roughly 130,000 people. Germany taking UNWRA funding back up is the bare minimum. Wild to me ppl are criticizing this instead of demanding accountability as to why funding was halted for so long
