Police have arrested anti-war protesters calling on their universities to divest from Israel's war on Gaza on at least 21 campuses across the US. cnn.com/2024/04/29/us/…
Faculty linking arms outside the Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia, where university officials have said that they will not divest from Israel and that student protesters will be suspended if they do not leave voluntarily.
Stills from the encampment: A library inside one of the tents. A student reads a Gazan cookbook. A golden necklace & a pair of leather shoes sit outside the lost and found tent, waiting for their owners. Strips of duct tape remind visitors to be mindful of why they were invited.
Over six months into Israel's campaign on Gaza, doctors are pulling orthopedic devices out of corpses to re-use them on patients @sananoorhaq cnn.com/middleeast/liv…
“Saying that student protesters are a threat to Jewish students is a dangerous smear,” says Jewish Columbia student Jonathan Ben-Menachem: cnn.com/2024/04/21/us/…
On the same day Israeli forces airstrike a husband, his pregnant wife, and their 3-year-old child — and another 17 kids and two women — the White House releases a statement condemning hundreds of interfaith American students protesting the airstrikes in question

This is the story of the baby girl who was born from the womb of her mother killed in an Israeli strike on Rafah. Sabreen was killed along with her husband and other daughter, where 19 others were also killed overnight in strikes on two houses. 13 of those killed were children
Over a hundred students were arrested for "trespassing" at Columbia University -- where they pay tuition. NYPD says that the arrested students "offered no resistance whatsoever and were saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner.” cnn.com/2024/04/19/us/… @DaliaFaheid
Hamouda Shaqoura, a Palestinian food blogger displaced in the Gaza Strip, says he cooks meals using from aid parcels and other fresh ingredients, to bring joy to displaced children. Shaqoura, who is displaced with his 25-year-old pregnant wife, Lamis, started posting viral clips…

“We were filming in a safe place, I was wearing my flak jacket and my helmet, even the car I was in had a PRESS and TV sign marked on it,” one of the journalists, Sami Shehada, told CNN from his hospital bed. “It will not stop me from working, even if I have to walk on crutches."

During the February "Flour Massacre," the IDF fired 600 rounds per minute at a crowd of starving people waiting for food aid, gunfire experts told CNN. cnn.com/2024/04/09/mid…
What amazes me is how aid groups (and other people in general) are catching on to what Israel has been doing for decades. This is what it’s like to live under siege. Again, this didn’t start this ongoing war.

"I wished for death millions of times. Those who died, died one time. I’m dying every day a million times." Voice notes from Gaza offer glimpse into physical and psychological toll after six months of war, by CNN's @alaaelassar, @YahyaGhazala and team: edition.cnn.com/interactive/20…
Palestinian women and health workers told CNN they use rags to manage their periods because they have no access to sanitary towels, causing vaginal infections and skin diseases. Muslim women who wear the hijab have limited privacy in sprawling displacement camps. Others say they…
Thought the Gaza airdrop aid was a ridiculous publicity stunt but I at least assumed they could accomplish it without killing anyone. I was wrong
the reminder that this was always possible, and that it took the massacre of hungry, desperate gazans lining up for food to (maybe) make it happen, should infuriate you

Columbia University Gives Students Option To Finish Classes From Prison theonion.com/columbia-unive…
This is a major development. It’s been weeks since “Screams without Words” fell apart. The @nytimes should do the right thing, and retract it and apologize for this journalistic malpractice.
A letter from 60 journalism professors to the New York Times calls on the paper to independently review its "Screams Without Words" article
Still in shambles from "La Chimera." Josh O'Connor has mystical fainting spells, speaks Italian the whole way through, and chases his girl through the valley of death. That you can just buy a ticket to this movie like it's an everyday affair is wild to me.

I remember when they kidnapped me in November, they wrote something on my clothes that I could not see, because I was handcuffed and blindfolded. Whenever soldiers passed by me, they would check what was written on my back or pants. They would start kicking me and insulting me in…
University leadership has repeatedly sold our students out and put them in harms way. When leaders fail faculty step up: we keep us safe and we keep our students safe.
NOW: Columbia University faculty link arms and form a wall in front of the entrance to the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ as hundreds of students encircle the both lawns Students remaining in the encampment were told they could face disciplinary action after 2PM
My office was right by the encampment, and I cannot understand how it interferes with exams. It’s that little red circle. Not a single notable the protest in the history of modern protest would meet the requirements of “acceptable” protest from many past free speech advocates.
One cannot disrupt the ability of one's fellow students to take exams or graduate with impunity. It's common courtesy and common sense. Such imposition of costs on one's fellows is not free expression.
UN weighs in on Columbia protests:
I'm hearing disturbing reports that students face suspension if they don’t end their peaceful protests in #Columbiauniversity in the USA. This is a clear violation of their right to peaceful assembly
i think that we as a society are slowly losing the battle against people who think it's ok to pull out their phones at the movie theater and we need to fight back
Columbia University faculty have linked arms at the entrance of the encampment as the 2p deadline passes for students to vacate or face suspension.
Columbia University has given students a 2pm deadline to leave the encampment and commit to all university policies or face suspension and ineligibility to finish the semester in good standing.
Missing from Mincouche’s statement is the word “Palestinian” or any recognition of the distress over 6 months of mass killing in Gaza. She either doesn’t acknowledge Palestinian humanity or is terrified of right-wing elements who bullied her in Congress or a combination of both.
Minouche Shafik’s full statement on the website + via email includes the statement posted publicly below but couches it in giving oxygen to false claims of ~harassment~ & ~disruption~ from instigatory pro-genociders who themselves have been harassing students for months.
Shafik writes to us: "I know that many of our Jewish students... have found the atmosphere intolerable in recent weeks. Many have left campus, and that is a tragedy." In Gaza, it's not the atmosphere that's intolerable. "Tragedy" seems more appropriate there, no? She's tone deaf.
Can’t believe no one said Donna Tart! Total artistic freedom, have a lot of friends but everyone thinks you’re a recluse bc you do like 2 events per book, rich enough to bring your coterie of dogs with you when you travel

Can you imagine admitting you feel nothing in the face of tens of thousands of dead children. Can you imagine calling caring about that like “picking some particular fashion label”
This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.
