Here is our Columbia University Urban Planning Program statement signed by many faculty, students, staff & alumni about recents events on Columbia University campus. Columbia GSAPP UP Columbia GSAPP

7 layers of barricades, an emptied and locked down campus, to protect Columbia University *from* its own students and faculty.

Things are heating up at MIT. High school kids occupy Mass Ave in front of MIT. Skinheads in front of the encampment. A major failure of management and bad faith.

Happening Now: The People’s Graduation 2024 at Columbia and Barnard. On display is the beautiful power of solidarity, love, student movement, faculty & staff organizing power in the fight for justice and humanity ❤️✊🏽 Columbia University Barnard College

“Your people are my people. Your people are mine” One of the most beautiful, meaningful & hopeful ceremonies I have ever attended 💜 Columbia University Barnard College

These genocidal occupying tyrants are obsessed with taking Lebanon back to the “Stone Age.” I bet our Stone Age will be more humane than their high-tech soulless human killing machines.

Isra*e*l has been jamming our GPS systems in Lebanon, everyone’s phone maps locate us at the airport’s runway. But no one is running away. Beirut is packed. But these criminal actions are going to cause a disaster in aviation or something. More than a way to wage a war.

Israel is playing games with the collective nerves of the Lebanese people, and like always, is enjoying such sadistic war tactics.

The government of Israel is debating if it’s okay to rape Palestinians.

Thank you أنس الأسعد for the beautiful review of the Arabic translation of my book and its launch event at Barzakh, Beirut.

“‘Justified and moral” to cause 2 million Gazans to die of hunger’”: Israelis must have some unique definitions of what constitutes just and moral.

We are currently being terrorized in Beirut and beyond by Israel through sonic booms that sound like heavy bombs falling on our heads. That’s my cat Sisi trying to hide in terror and bewilderment. Criminal, heartless, terrorists #Israel #Lebanon

So no entity is able to stop Israel’s terrorism? Or are they all making money, ecstatic to see piles of dead brown Arab bodies?

The anger I feel is unbearable. We've lived our lives under constant terror. It enrages me how disposable Palestinian, Lebanese, and all Black & brown lives for that matter. Life on this planet is unbearable when born on the wrong side of the border or with the wrong skin color.
