Nothing new to say but it bears repeating: it’s one of American history’s most Orwellian obscenities to see an anti-genocide movement that is in fact one of the most Jewish mass movements in US history slandered as antisemitic by one of the key guys doing the genocide.

Read this again. NYC elected officials like Eric Adams & NYPD made false statements about Columbia University students, inciting violence towards us.
Today, someone was ran over with a car. For picketing on a sidewalk for Palestine. They are handcuffed to a hospital bed.

We should all fear the creation of a new administrative approach whereby any speech or activity administrators don't like = they send the campus police.

Find this long blog post by David Posen about the rise of presidential power in universities really helpful to my thinking. lpeproject.org/blog/seeing-th…

In preparation of a sweep of the FIT Encampment, the last college encampment standing in NYC, Police have completely shut down 27th street from any access whatsoever aside from people working at the school

100 years ago they said this about Jews and Italians (and Bolshevism and anarchism, respectively) . And we look back on it and say oh that was terrible how could they.

Good evening. This morning, there were 168 Gaza Solidarity Encampments at colleges. Despite Uchicago & other administrations shutting theirs down, there are now 174! The more the ruling class & their puppets try to shut it down, the more students rise up! students4gaza.directory

I searched the word “Rafah”on Twitter and I was met with horrifying images of children killed in the last 12 hours that I can’t unsee. A reminder that this is what university students are protesting, and they refuse to allow their tuition dollars to be spent on a genocide

I have yet to hear a convincing account of how the encampment interfered with anyone else’s free expression. It was loud in some classrooms? I’ve had many classes interrupted by the noise of university landscaping operations, is that the same?

“Ancient desires” is a blatantly Islamophobic trope. It plays into the idea that Islam is an archaic tradition that has long harbored hatred towards Jews. It’s false and despicable, and wrongly pins the root cause of this conflict on religion.

It's actually such a massive failure of Canadian foreign policy and relations that there is a single Canadian still in Gaza. Like, this statement is telling on itself.

Here's the thing: you can shit out justifications for calling the cops on your students as much as you want. You might be legally correct - but you're still an asshole, and you are still on the wrong side of history.

This morning, students at Columbia University picketed outside the homes of three trustees.

At two of the three locations, random harassers suckerpunched student picketers. At one, a car drove into a student. NYPD arrested the student, who’s now with EMS.

People who are shocked by this have not spent much or any time in US/Mexico border cities. Border Patrol is called for lots of things they shouldn't be. It is incredible that the outrage many of us have felt for years are being made so explicit in campuses across the country.

This is incorrect. Their demands are simple and direct. You can read the demands of all 167 camps right here. students4gaza.directory They also chant clearly and make clear signs. Anyone who doesn’t know what they are demanding is being willingly ignorant, Jill Filipovic.
