Was just doing research and found this quote by former Biden official Dr. Dr. Annelle Sheline who resigned over Gaza.

'I have a young daughter. She’s not yet 2, but if some day in the future, she is learning about this and knows that I was at the state department and she asked me…

Wait let me get this straight: 100 students were arrested because the uni claimed they had yelled “kill the Jews”. Then it turns out the student who yelled that was holding an Israeli flag, trying to unsuccessfully bait the crowd and was booed in return

It's quite clear what happened: Just outside the university gates, a semi-regular crowd of quite unwell people who have nothing to do with the Columbia protest have gathered with the explicit aim of getting on TV. Press show up and film them, use the footage to smear the students

Lawrence H. Summers Your efforts to portray student demonstrators challenging Israel's genocidal actions as 'anti-semitic' are cheap & disingenuous. These students should be commended for their courage & compassion, risking suspension & smears (like yours), to fight the most heinous crimes underway…

You said in 1991 at the World Bank that dumping toxic waste in the 3rd World (as it was known then) was ok due to economic benefits.

Didn’t you once say women are not good in science?

And you had to resign as Harvard President ?

Frankly, difficult to take you seriously

“We later found out that Hamas had offered on October 9 or 10 to release all the civilian hostages in exchange for the IDF not entering the Strip, but the government rejected the offer.”

One demand students are calling for is Israeli divestment. Divestment is not a new request. In fact, it’s been asked for many times, most notably in the 80s to protest South African apartheid. What is less talked about is why colleges will resist divestment more than ever. 🧵/1

FHoM is supposed to define (??!) existential health. Fetch not science - but some kind of support/info from Swedish agencies, first of which is an Agency for Support to Religious Communities (??????!). How about studying long covid and related science instead, huh?

This protest at Columbia in Hindi has been posted across platforms as a “sinister” display. Here is the actual translation of what she’s saying:

“What do we want?” (Freedom)
“What do we want?” (Freedom)
“Palestine’s” (Freedom)

“We will grab it” (Freedom)…
