Vanderbilt’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment reaches day 28!

And they charged HER with attacking a cop after this. Again, this happens every day to people who will never get media coverage for it. Abolish the police.

I dunno, maybe if you are arresting Rabbis on Passover trying to make sure people do not starve, you are not actually motivated by Jewish values.

Antisemitism, like all prejudice, must be condemned & confronted wherever it rears it’s head. It is NOT antisemitic to protest oppression & war crimes. Jewish protestors have been a significant part of this movement calling for a ceasefire and Palestinian liberation. Don’t get it…

Every time Jews are isolated from our neighbors, we're made more vulnerable. This bill does exactly that by treating antisemitism as something to be monitored separately from other forms of bigotry & oppression. NO to Rep. Ritchie Torres & Congressman Mike Lawler's bill.

CONFIRMED: The person being tased was clearly marked as a street medic.

In which we learn that Princeton was fine graduating a student who took part in the January 6 assault on Congress but will expel a finishing PhD student for sitting on the grass.

'There is a fairly high likelihood I will be fired today...I can't sit here and watch this anymore.'

Chills.

God help us all

Reporter: Evidence at Gaza mass graves show torture and signs of being buried alive, Palestinians called for an independent investigation, what’s wrong with that?

Patel: We’re asking Israel

Reporter: You’re asking the accused to investigate itself?

Patel: We’re asking Israel

Israel today assassinated the eldest daughter of our Professor Refaat Al-Areer (Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸), Al-Shaimaa, along with her husband and newborn baby. I am out of words, tears, and ways to comprehend this endless loss, this pain, this criminal annihilation of our people.

Defund this stuff. Seriously, defund it.

the full video is even more shocking. then you learn they charged her with disorderly conduct and simple battery on a police officer 🙃

anyway you know you’ve lost control of the narrative when your white middle-aged tenured faculty are being treated like black teens on camera.

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

What Frum omits to mention here is that the USC valedictorian, a young Muslim woman in a hijab, had her speech cancelled because, USC said, of threats from *pro-Israel* activists.

But hey, let’s not mention that, & of course no one cares about the safety of Muslims students. 🤷🏽‍♂️

'Can you call the Philosophy Department office and tell them I've been arrested?...I'm Noelle McAfee, I'm Chair of the Philosophy Department'

So far today Princeton, Cornell, George Washington University, City College of New York (slash CUNY), and UCLA have launched Gaza Solidarity Encampments.

Today marks 1 week since NYPD swept the Columbia University GSE. All call for their universities to divest from genocide.

Never been arrested before, somehow always slipped out, but ready today. No one will touch our students without going through us at NU EJP. Hurting our students is my red line.

There are no universities left standing in Gaza because of Israel's assault and the media and pols alike are stuck discussing manufactured fear campaigns. It’s absolutely infuriating.

I hope this picture goes down in the history books. Armed police officers in riot gear right next to a sign that says what starts here changes the world.
