Statement from the Columbia Student coalition:

“Students take over Hamilton Hall after Columbia’s persistent refusal to divest, complicity in genocide, & continued violence against its students.

This escalation is in line with the historical student movements of 1968, 1985,

Columbia’s own website has a page about how the last time they called for a mass arrest of student protesters, they were in the wrong and fucked up their reputation for decades

Happening now: Columbia and Barnard Faculty stand in support of our students Columbia University Barnard College

Shame on Barnard College for banning an 18 year old student for standing against genocide. You do not deserve these brilliant people.

A statement by our faculty at Columbia and Barnard. More to come. I am behind every word.

And now think of the 25,000 tons of explosives (equivalent to two nuclear bombs) used against buildings largely identified as targets by Artificial Intelligence, the unguided munitions (“dumb bombs”) and 2000-pound “bunker buster” bombs launched on densely populated areas and

Another night of massacres. The Israeli bombardment of the tents of displaced Palestinian survivors in al-Mawasi, the area designated as “safe humanitarian zone” by Israel, at the border between Gaza and Egypt.

'I don't want fans, I want comrades. This is a struggle. This is not lifestyle, this is not showbusiness. This is a major struggle for the spirit of humanity, and Germany is a battleground. Because once again, a proud nation- a proud people, the German people- are being dragged

Despite arrests, Columbia students are still going strong at this historic anti-genocide encampment on the university campus. They are demanding that Columbia divest from the Zionist regime and their numbers are steadily growing.

As night falls and waking up at 5 AM, flying to New York and 8 hours of street reporting non-stop catches up with me, I am about to leave this party and let these young ppl who welcomed me into their space carry on. But first, some final thoughts…

1. Anatomy of a genocide sketched out.

They killed my friend and colleague Dr Ahmad Maqadmeh at Shifa Hospital. A beautifull soul and a great surgeon. We worked together in the Great Marches of Return and the 2021 war and then this recent war. His dedication was unlike anything I have ever seen. We will never forgive.

The horror. The sheer horror. May it haunts every genocide-enabler on this wretched earth until justice and liberation prevail.

You kill the people trying to feed the people that you’re trying to kill. That’s how genocide by starvation works.

We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.
