We strongly denounce Sciences Po's ambiguous stance on the ongoing genocide in Gaza and condemn the university's repression of students calling on the administration to take a principled stance against apartheid and genocide.

Racist undercurrents in Australian society should not be downplayed @faab64
To some degree, we're all subject to it. Yes, even white Anglo-Protestants.

Specific to Islamophobia though, there's one influence that recent events have highlit.

Because North American politicians are trying to differentiate between carpet bombing and a “full scale” invasion of the MSM is not showing the incredible devastation happening right now, where 600,000 children are running for their lives. No international news outlets have been allowed into to document the final act of genocide by . News blackouts are routinely the application of authoritarians.

A sobering analysis by Nader Hashemi on the Israel-US tensions over Rafah

"It is important not to exaggerate the tensions between the US & Israel.... It has moved from 100% to 99% support.

"Given rising domestic opposition...Biden wants a lower civilian casualty toll than Israel does.

"Israel can still bomb Rafah with impunity... just not with US-made 2,000-pound bombs that Israel has used in other parts of Gaza".

One clear sign of how ignorant and immature the college protesters are is how they all don't seem to want to be held accountable for the crimes they committed.

I wish that our U.S. campuses would at least still assign students to read MLK's Letter from a Birmingham jail, and Thoreau's essay on Civil Disobedience.

I think these protesters have failed the guidelines of: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist; negotiation; self-purification; and effective direct action.

The aftermath of the violence at UCLA illustrates that we live in an upside-down world where we decry property damage on college campuses as we fund the genocide in Gaza, and where we advocate for free speech until it says “stop the genocide.”
