My solidarity goes to those #Jewish / #Israeli students who genuinely feel unsafe, threatened or subject to prejudice. Nobody deserves it.
But I couldn't care less about those who just feel uncomfortable because the protests are about something bad that their country is doing.
When Putin started his unforgivable war in Ukraine, and protests sprawled around the world, there wasn't much talk about shutting down the protests because they would make Russians abroad feel uncomfortable. So why do we have to treat Israelis and Jewish as exceptional snowflakes? Just because they keep stubbornly playing the antisemitism card whenever you criticize them?
#Safety and #comfort aren't the same thing. People have an inalienable right to feel safe and not subject to prejudice. But their ideas and dogmas don't have the same rights. They aren't people. I shouldn't refrain from protesting against ideas and acts that I perceive as wrong just because my protest may make somebody else feel uncomfortable. Pulling people out of their comfort zone and creating awareness is the whole point of a protest, after all.
And universities are exactly meant to be those factories of ideas where different sensibilities meet and come up with a better view of the world, without fear of retaliation.
If you don't feel comfortable about it, if you feel like criticism against your ideology is criticism against you as a person, then probably you just don't belong to a university in the first place.
And if you keep calling out as an antisemitic anyone who criticizes the acts of #Netanyahu's government, thus advancing the fascist theory that the ideology of a government is part of the identity of the nation, and thus political criticism is personal criticism against all of its the citizens, then you're just an idiot, or someone who benefits from this simplification.
Student protesters at Goldsmiths, University of London, win concessions, name room after Shireen Abu Akleh
“To have that recognition of a Palestinian journalist that was murdered by the [Israeli military] and have that memorialised at this university will be amazing and something we are really proud of.”
Samira Ali
@appassionato@palestine I still grive for that wonderful woman, #ShireenAbuAhkleh - murdered by an #Israeli sniper who has never been held accountable. Yet #Israel knows who it was. Even sadder is that hundreds more journalists have been murdered by #IDF since - many in the recent attack on Gaza. Still, not one Israeli soldier has been charged for any of these hundreds of murders - not one.
Breaking News: Israeli and foreign officials believe the International Criminal Court is preparing arrest warrants for top #Israeli and #Hamas leaders related to the war in Gaza.— NYT
Interesting to see how students are fighting with the police because they like to support the Hamas terrorists and the Palestinians who support Hamas
🤷🏻♀️ Are those students so much brainwashed by the Hamas, Russian and Chinese propaganda that they do not realize that they are now fighting for the same people who were always organizing protests in Gaza were they shouted “Dead to America and the Western world”🤦🏻♀️
😂🙄 So that’s interesting 🤔 you claim that what the Hamas terrorist did on October 7 inside Israel was just some fantasy and it didn’t take place 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
With such believe it seems that you have no brains at all 🤷🏻♀️ But be careful and don’t start to tell this nonsense loudly around because people think you need desperately a psychiatrist 🤦🏻♀️
Or you are just a dangerous Russian troll who is determined to destroy the Western democracy 🙄
It seems like the #Israeli government has made a decision [1] to pervert the course of justice [2] and to involve some European governments in the perversion of the course of justice: according to Channel 12 the Israeli government aims to prevent the #InternationalCriminalCourt from issuing warrants against Netanyahu and others on war crimes charges [1].
@realskibidi@Miro_Collas@faab64@palestine You can't excuse the #Israeli people so easily. The majority of Israelis support the current Govt. Not only that, the vast majority of Israeli people either approved of, or demanded increased slaughter in Gaza late last year (according to a Tel Aviv Uni survey). This may have changed as more Israelis realised their Govt is increasing the chances of them, their children - & esp those in the #IDF - being killed as the conflict spreads.
Nazi like #Israeli bestiality in Khan Younis, #Gaza. Bodies allegedly had their hands tied while others were bound and stripped. A total of 310 bodies have been found in the last week, including 35 in the past day.
Atrocities enabled by #US supplied weapons and support, along with "thoughts and prayers" for the survival of the victims. Like game-shooting in a fenced ranch.
Trump is just a symptom of a sick and unprincipled political system
Increíble. Obviamente, un #sionista#israeli presentador de televisión, llamado Shai Golden, ha amenazado con matar y destruir a cualquiera que ponga #freepalestine en las redes sociales.
Incluso amenazas para atacar a países de todo el mundo. Incluido Estados Unidos. Esta es la bestia que #carnicerobiden ha estado alimentando.
Solo he visto el video con subtítulos en español. No sé si está disponible en otro lugar con subtítulos de otros idiomas.
Unbelievable. Obviously an #israeli#zionist TV presenter, called Shai Golden has menaced to kill and destroy anyone that puts #freepalestine in social networks.
Even menaces to atack countries worldwide. Including the USA. This is the beast that #butcherbiden has been feeding.
I watched only the video with spanish subs. Dont know if its available somewhere else with other language subs.
