Heftige Diskussionen um Pro-Palästina-Camp in Frankfurt (Tagesschau, 2024-05-23)

Pro-Palestine encampment in Goethe-University (#Frankfurt) continues, for the time-being, as the Administrative Court ruled it not to be banned.

The report tells that all the residents in the student-dormitories (one Catholic and one Evangelical/Protestant) received a postal instruction from the landlord forbidding any visitors out of the encampment in their dorm. And that on Sunday, namely a day before the protest camp was to start.

A small comfort is, at least one student resident was upset by such an attempt to violate personal rights.

Glad to know there was no general ban for this day, and all went -more or less- peacefully, even with 400 police officers in charge.

Berlin university lecturers sign open letter of solidarity with protesting students (The Berliner, 2024-05-10)
———
✊
“More than 300 teachers from #Berlin universities have signed an open letter in solidarity with students protesting the war on Gaza.”

“The letter doesn’t take a stance on the demands of the demonstrators, but instead defends the students’ right to use university property as a site of protest…”

“… The letter, which also includes the signatures of more than 500 staff members from other universities in #Germany and abroad, calls for Berlin universities ‘to refrain from police operations against their own students and from further criminal prosecution.’”

“Unsurprisingly, the letter has been met with criticism from the political establishment…” 🔥

“Israel's control of the Rafah crossing may present a threat to a September 2005 agreement with #Egypt, known as the Philadelphi Accord.”

“‘Israel occupying Rafah means occupying the Gaza side of the Philadelphi Corridor, which would be a violation of the 2005 addendum to the 1979 peace treaty,’ International Crisis Group analyst Joost Hiltermann told Middle East Eye.

"’It is doubtful that the Egyptians would have greenlighted this.’

As war in Gaza enters seventh month, 1.74 million more Palestinians will be pushed into poverty across State of Palestine according to United Nations assessment (Press Release | UNDP, 2024-05-01)

"... #UNDP [United Nations Development Programme] and #ESCWA [Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia] released an update of their joint initial rapid assessment ... released in November 2023... The new updated assessment estimates the impacts at six months, with projections for seven-, eight- and nine-months scenarios."

"'... the destruction in Gaza today is unprecedented in scope and scale and coupled with the loss of homes, livelihoods, natural resources, infrastructure as well as institutional capacities, may have deep and systemic impacts for decades to come,' said ESCWA Executive Secretary Rola Dashti. 'This assessment projects that Gaza will be rendered fully dependent on external assistance on a scale not seen since 1948...'”

From the river to the sea, Israel is waging the same war: The Gaza assault cannot be understood separately from Israel’s divide-and-conquer strategy against Palestinians in Jenin, Jerusalem, and Nazareth. (Orly Noy
| +972 Magazine, 2024-04-26)

"The categorization of Palestinians into separate classes — citizens inside Israel, permanent residents of East Jerusalem, occupied subjects in the West Bank, prisoners in the Gaza ghetto, and refugees in exile — is at the heart of Israel’s policy of divide and conquer. It effectively negates the existence of the Palestinians as a single and organic people, while keeping them all under the rule of Jewish supremacy."

"it is crucial not to fall into the trap set by Israel’s policy of divide and conquer. We must see this war in its entirety, and in every territory between the river and the sea, for all of them are defined by apartheid..."

"What makes last night all the more inexplicable was that the university had, over the weekend, seen a haunting warning of what could happen."

"... even they were greeted with insulting words from the other [Pro-Israeli] side, as were members of a small contingent of a local chapter of Standing Together who came bearing signs calling for peace and equality for Palestinians and Jews."

"Before Tuesday ... In the face of immense pressure, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block managed to keep the peace."

"... There has also been increasing pressure on the university from outside forces, including the Jewish Federation, to act more forcefully against the demonstrators."

“A demonstration against Israel’s war on Gaza at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) turned violent when a vigilante pro-Israel mob attacked a solidarity encampment occupied by peaceful pro-Palestinian protesters.

“Witnesses said the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) only intervened after nearly four hours of the attacks, which started overnight into Wednesday when masked pro-Israel counter-demonstrators, who appeared in their hundreds from outside the university campus, hurled fireworks into the encampment.”

“The attackers, carrying Israeli flags, then tried to tear down the pro-Palestinian camp, assaulting students with pepper spray, sticks, stones and metal fencing. Police stood by, failing to protect students…”

"With its fossilised premise of «raison d'etat» Germany is damaging itself. It is time for change – for constructive partnership in a concerted effort to overcome the Israeli-Palestinian catastrophe"

"What has happened? Germany has allowed itself to go down the slippery slope of misunderstood exceptionalism: by narrowing down the consequences of its responsibility for the Holocaust and its corresponding exceptional obligations to an unquestioned commitment to the structure of the Israeli state and its politics. And by telling others what they should think about Israel..."

"The outcome is an oppressive mixture, a strangely boastful detachment from the world. ... And we reserve the right to offend, because as the ex-evil masterminds, we are the only true good guys."

“Paris police chief … told … he initially chose to ban the march because in announcing the protest the organisers had likened French police violence to the war in Gaza, and he felt the event could cause a threat to public order.

“… if an ICJ decision about the plausibility of Israel committing genocide does not make a scholar publicly speak out against unconditional German support for Israel, what will? What purpose does a state-funded expert in Arabic language have, who remains stuck in the ivory tower when politicians representing that state contemplate the generic prohibition of Arabic slogans at public protests? What purpose has a renowned scholar of Ottoman and/or Arab history who fails to publicly speak out against the open distortion and/or negation of simple historical facts in state-funded exhibitions? … There is no lack of expertise, there is a lack of courage to take a principled stance against the large-scale dehumanisation of Arabs and Muslims, and the ongoing mass murder of Palestinians.”
