"I realized this year that Muslims do not matter to . And while that remains true, I cannot let myself be a diversity token for this service."

"During meetings with Religious Life staff leading up to Baccalaureate, I was told not to mention Palestine, nor name any specific regions of the world where my community was suffering. I was told there will be many communities in the room, and that it was just too sensitive to talk about."

"I am left with the understanding that to be Muslim at Columbia is to face extreme censorship of your language to appease an audience that doesn’t represent nor respect you. To be Muslim at Columbia is to be racially profiled and doxxed, beg for administrative resources and support, and still receive none. To be Muslim at Columbia is to face Islamophobia on campus—to be spat on and called “terrorists”—

and receive no University acknowledgment or recognition. Instead, our experiences are interrogated, as administrators try to poke holes in our narratives, questioning whether they even happened, while others get seats at the table with the University President and the governor of New York, dedicated to making sure they feel seen, heard, and valued."

"To be Muslim at is to have your community and peers be suspended, arrested, and brutalized by the New York Police Department for peacefully protesting the genocide of those who widely look and practice like us, and still being made out to be the aggressors."

"It is to watch the University condone the arrest of female Muslim hijabi students who then had their hijabs ripped off by NYPD officers, in the name of the University’s “safety and order.”"

"To be Muslim at Columbia is being told to stop ruining “the senior experience” for those who have the privilege of turning a blind eye to injustice, while we repeatedly put ourselves on the line for justice, every day."

“We are on strike because the president and the board of trustees have wreaked havoc on campus by disregarding academic procedures, refusing to negotiate in good faith with protestors as other presidents have done, calling and filming a massive police operation against the students and undermining faculty governance and autonomy of thought,” Jack Halberstam, professor of gender studies and English, said at the press conference.

"Indivisible’s north star this year is to reelect Biden and a Democratic trifecta so we can pass democracy reform and codify reproductive rights nationally."

this would be great - but has Biden or any Dem leadership committed to these things if they get the Trifecta? or will they just take our votes and efforts and donations and ignore us and then beg for more donations for the next election, 'cause you don't want those other guys to win, do ya?

"Tens of thousands are protesting and demanding the release of the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza and early elections across Israel, as the IDF expands combat operations in the Gaza Strip, and ahead of Israel's upcoming Memorial Day on Monday."

"Netanyahu is sacrificing the country and sending our families to their death for political reasons," they said in a statement.

Danny Elgarat, whose brother Itzhak is being held in Gaza, spoke there, and said, "Fists in the air everyone. The police have put up a surveillance camera. They want us to behave nicely. They expect us to behave nicely while our loved ones are being held in hell."

Several families have made a statement to the media, saying, "as long as Netanyahu is in power, the hostages won't return ... Netanyahu is leading Israel to complete and total failure. Stop cooperating with them! Rescue the hostages and save the State of Israel."

Ayala Metzger, daughter-and-law of Yoram Metzger who is held captive in Gaza, said that "These past two weeks, Netanyahu criminally sabotaged the deal to save the hostages. It is because of Netanyahu that there is no hostage release deal and there are no hostages being brought back home."

Shikma Bressler, one of the leaders of last year's protest movement against Netanyahu's judicial overhaul, spoke at the demonstration in Nahalal Junction for the first time in a few months. "In a democratic country, the government gets its legitimacy from the citizens," she said. "Today, Israel doesn't have a legitimate government."

Over two thousand people, led by veterans of the Yom Kippur War, are holding a protest-memorial ceremony near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's private residence in Caesarea, attended by bereaved families.

Yael Alon, who lost her father in the Yom Kippur War in 1973 and her son on October 8 in Kfar Azza, said at the protest that Netanyahu is responsible for the October 7 disaster. "You smugly and arrogantly ignored all the warnings... and you dare to think you are still the leader this country deserves at a time like this," she said.

"Some Campus Protests in the 1930s: Students Against Nazis, Universities not so much."

what was shocking to discover in researching this topic was how many US universities participated in legitimizing Nazis -

in 1936 the Heidelberg University 550th anniversary was made by Hitler into an even to legitimize his regime:

In 1936 Columbia suspended student Robert Burke "because of his union activity," including "a large student protest meeting against Columbia's acceptance of an invitation

@Andres4NY yes. terrible and obvious to learn recently that Nazis in Germany often display the Confederate flag (since the Nazis stuff is outlawed)

"Thousands of American students across the country are not protesting, risking their own futures and very safety, because of some pathological hate for the Jewish people. They are doing so in a complete rejection of, and justifiable outrage over, the mass killing carried out by the state of Israel against defenseless Palestinians in Gaza. "
