Why does Gaza have no international seaport? Because despite falsely claiming not to occupy Gaza, "Israel has for decades prevented the construction of one." nytimes.com/interactive/20…
!!! Former spokesperson for families of Israeli hostages in Gaza says they learned that after October 7, Hamas offered to release all civilian hostages to prevent a ground offensive. “No doubt that Netanyahu is preventing a deal to release the hostage.” zman.co.il/481871/
The person with “anti-defamation” on his business cards seems to be flagrantly defaming students.

We’ve gone from “how dare you suggest that Israel would target a hospital” to “well clearly the man in the unmarked mass grave was a terrorist who fought back while his hands were tied up so clearly he died in combat, how dare you suggest he was executed!”

I notice the rhetoric is getting even more turgid over there on the wrong side of history.
This is a great example of bad faith reporting. There’s been a guy hanging outside Columbia *for years* with a sign that says the Jews did 9/11. Was that also representative of anti-Semitism at Columbia? Welcome to New York City, for chrissake.

Even Germany, which has not generally acquitted itself well re Israel/Gaza, is restoring funding to UNRWA after Israel failed to produce evidence backing up its accusations of ties to Hamas/Oct 7. US should do the same.

If you actually believe unequivocally in free speech, you find yourself in very small company.
Have you noticed how talk of "cancel culture" and "free speech on campus" and "there is no right to be not offended" and ridicule of "safe spaces" ended after 7th October?

Hey guess what: Internal US politics really do have a decisive effect on the Middle East. Things are probably not going to get much better there without a lot of legitimately uncomfortable discussion/reevaluation here. The angst over protests suggests we're not prepared for that.
@zeynep @jonathanchait Chait's argument puts a near-impossible onus on students: To support Palestinians in some vague "universalist" way without criticizing systems&ideologies that ensure Palestinian oppression&statelessness. This becomes especially unrealistic given the current violence.
If Gaza were open to outside journalists, the news cycle would be dominated by mass graves, not protests. And there would be more protests.
Don’t be silly Muhammad, the mainstream media doesn’t have time for mass graves as they are busy covering a college campus protest (against the people who dug those graves!)

Personally if I’m getting body slammed on my college campus by cops I’m going to yell out “I am alienated from my labor and my fellow man and condemn the goons of capital” but not everyone is on my level.

Dear NYPD: Please, please, please arrest these faculty members.
@CaitlinPacific Still time to edit or delete this, Caitlin!
@CaitlinPacific Asking without snark: Arrest them for what?
This is why it matters that Columbia act immediately to fire Shafik. Allowing university administrations to arrest students for protest and face no consequences is having ripple effects across the entirety of US education systems. This cannot be accepted.
Breaking: Police just broke up and arrested all students at the University of Minnesota encampment for Gaza , charging them with trespassing and banning all students from campus for one year.
@Megankstack @zeynep @jonathanchait @froomkin But with that said, I feel like progressive/protest leadership (and I know this is a very fragmented movement) should consider being more aggressive about conveying the impression that progressives don't embrace eliminationism and antisemitism. The silence seems destructive.
@Megankstack @zeynep @jonathanchait I totally agree with you. Media coverage of the protests has been despicable and inflammatory. They just want to focus on the radical fringe. I don't know if you saw @froomkin's post today - it's good. presswatchers.org/2024/04/the-me… /1
@Megankstack @jonathanchait As I keep reminding, the 2002-2003 anti-war protest against the Iraq war were organizationally led mainly by fringe groups who just jumped on the topic and seemed more interested in waving Cuban flags than learning a thing about Iraq. L But that’s not the main point about them.
@Megankstack @jonathanchait I would also consider them ahistorical given how protests, and especially student protests, have always worked. And there is ALSO a lot of this.
I’m gathered right now with 50+ Jewish Berkeleyans for our Seder at the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Sproul Plaza. As we prayed, sang, and ate, a woman shoved a camera in our faces. She refused to leave when asked and continued yelling and disrupting our holy religious ceremony.
@jonathanchait Have you ever checked the positions of the 2002-3 Iraq antiwar march organizers? It was horrible, FYI. Still, the protesters —didn’t do academic studies of correct views & often were imprecise about Middle East— were 100% on the moral side of history. You have all lost the plot…
Spring Resurrection: Given up for dead after being decimated by animals, our fig tree is back more vibrant than ever.
Now that's a turducken
This man needs a much larger platform. Talk about a demonstration of courage. “Enough is enough.”
For authors still wondering if your voices matter, $75,000 will now be donated to the @ThePCRF because of the dogged work of @wawog_now and the moral courage of dozens of writers of conscience who spoke out in solidarity with the people of Gaza.

I'm a Jew-loving Jew. Anti-Semitism is never ok. Here's what is not anti-Semitism: Peaceful protest, criticism of the Israeli government, calling for an independent Palestine, demanding a ceasefire in Gaza, using the term apartheid to describe Israel, questioning Zionism.
Calling out and rejecting extremists within the Palestine support demonstrations is not a flaw; on the contrary, it’s entirely commendable. Prior to the outbreak of this war, President Mahmoud Abbas delivered a speech laden with anti-Semitic sentiments, which were rightly…
