Duke students and students from NC State have officially joined up with UNC, creating a Triangle Gaza Solidarity Encampment. They are here to unite against the genocide happening in Gaza, and to make disclose and divestment demands of their individual universities.

UPDATE on Columbia University’s consideration of a campus wide lockdown. Admin threatened mass evictions of campus dorms with no notice to students. We will not be deterred by an administration that continues to threaten students & engage in bad faith.

I visited the Gaza solidarity camp at Columbia yesterday and wanted to share a few
very brief observations.

First, it's one of the most highly organised student protests I've ever seen. They have media and de-escalation training, a nutzone to protest students with allergies.

Exactly. This is the same issue with the McCarthyist attempts by people like Bill Ackman etc to say they won't hire anyone who opposes Israel's genocide. The labor pool is simply not that rich. Qualified people will always have options and people with INTEGRITY (which is what it…

May Minouche Shafik be remembered as the Hosni Mubarak of this moment.

I have been suspended from Cornell University alongside three others for my presence in our encampment. Cornell thinks that picking off four students will be sufficient to destroy our movement. They’re wrong — all they have done is enraged our community.

for months diaspora Palestinians like myself have been grappling with severe depression and the survivor’s guilt of not having survived anything in the first place. the fog has finally lifted; we college students sparked an international movement.

one of our comrades have a severe banana allergy. so z!onists decided to bring bananas. the security have already said not do this. this person can go into shock.

Greek Life Brownstone at Columbia University vandalized for flying a Palestinian Flag.
Multiple NYPD vans were present and no action was taken.
Individuals involved stated that “there is no place for a flag like this in America”, a clear example of Anti Palestinian Racism.
