❤️ Faculty standing with students and the movement for Palestine at Columbia University❤️ May this movement spread from campus to campus.

Meanwhile: All eyes on Gaza. News reports today of a mass grave with hundreds of bodies at the Nasser Medical complex, Khan Younis.

We have a saying in France (we know a fair bit about protests and strikes 😏) that when students massively rally around a protest movement, it's over: it's a sign it's going to be successful. Because students bring a level of energy, creativity and mobilisation that no other

Deeply disturbing - such blatant Islamophobic abuse on display as this man shouts his vile abuse - no surprises- at Muslim women and Palestinians activists.

All of us have seen the tragedy of Gaza.

We've seen how Netanyahu's government has used US weapons to kill indiscriminately and create famine.

I will not participate in this carnage.

When Congress votes on sending more offensive weapons to Israel today, I will vote no. 1/

Last night at Columbia University, hundreds of Jewish students and their classmates gathered at the Gaza solidarity encampment and celebrated the beginning of Shabbat with song and prayer. Directly after, Muslim students held Jummah prayer, the Friday prayer offered in community.
