Encampment needs and Action Items for students, faculty, and community members!
@UMNSDS lol enjoy the camping. You’re gonna be there in perpetuity if these are the demands.
There is no genocide in Gaza. Not even close. Rwanda was a genocide where over 500k were killed in 100 days. There is no apartheid. But UNRWA school books teaching hatred of Jews are eerily similar to the textbooks that white kids had in South Africa that taught hatred of blacks. The USA is a free country and ppl can invest in or work at companies that make weapons. You don’t get to decide. Most importantly, there is no right of return. 40 million ppl were displaced as a result of WW2 and all were resettled. You lost your war so you should have been resettled too. But the UN is filled with ppl who hate Jews so they made Palestinians refugees for life and dependent on aid bc they want the Palestinians dirt poor and desperate bc that causes problems for Israel. Don’t like the result, then complain to the Arab/muslim nations who intentionally created this problem. Ask them for citizenship and/or equal rights in their countries. Ask them in invest in rebuilding Gaza bc they currently say they won’t bc the Palestinians will just attack Israel again and Gaza will just get destroyed again. You are delusional to think you are in a position to demand anything. And self sabotaging to present a list filled with lies and unrealistic goals. This is why no one takes you seriously.
@UMNSDS So you are demanding war over Jerusalem? You know that's how you get the third temple right?

@UMNSDS Should be pretty simple. The university gives in or you all are kicked out and arrested. I'll bet you get none of your demands and that nothing happens. Nobody has balls anymore
