We continue to mark Passover & uphold a vision of collective liberation. We support the student encampments not in spite of our Judaism but because of it. We know Jewish safety requires Palestinian safety & Palestinian liberation. Watch live on our Instagram: https://instagram.com/ifnotnowboston/

A Jewish undergrad from Northeastern: “I want to reiterate why we are here... It has been over 200 days of genocide in Gaza. Over 30,000 people have been killed & there has yet to be progress made toward a lasting ceasefire. Every action we do, including this, is to end this violence.”

“We built a beautiful liberation zone, filled w/ students & faculty from all backgrounds, many Jewish. Together we made art & music, called for peace & expressed our demands… disclose, divest + denounce financial & scientific/research ties to Israel, and drop the charges."

Students are sharing about the false charge of antisemitism, how footage revealed the hateful words used to justify arrests came from pro-Israel counter-protestors. The encampments have been places of community & commitment to justice: a reflection of the world we want to see.

"I'm here to say, they don’t get to use us as a tool. Not in our name! Thank you all for being here tonight, showing up to support the protestors."

Here are the action items student organizers shared tonight:

  • Support encampments.
  • Donate to mutual aid fundraisers for Gaza.
  • Keep your eyes on Tufts, MIT, and Harvard.
  • Don't stop talking about Gaza, don't stop organizing, don't stop protesting.

STATEMENT: JVP Boston and IfNotNow Boston Stand With Northeastern Student Activists and Denounce False Claims of Antisemitism

As a new anti-war movement has sprung on campuses across the country, JVP Boston and IfNotNow Boston support the student encampment movement in solidarity with Palestine across this city and the country.

@ifnotnowboston@mastodon.social avatar

We denounce Northeastern's discipline of student activists and Boston Police Department's arrest of peaceful protesters. We denounce false claims from the Northeastern administration that protests were "infiltrated by professional organizers" who used "virulent antisemitic slurs."

Video shared by WGBH News reporter Tori Bedford clearly shows the incident in question, in which an individual unrelated to the protest, holding an Israeli flag, attempts to be disruptive by yelling "kill the Jews."

By using this event to slander their own students, the Northeastern administration is acting in incredible bad faith. They owe pro-Palestine student organizers an apology.

ifnotnowboston,
@ifnotnowboston@mastodon.social avatar

These unfounded accusations of antisemitism — which have been wholly debunked by Northeastern student activists and video evidence — put student protestors, community members, and members of all faiths, including Jews, at risk, while diverting attention away from the genocide.

@gbhnews It's a weak spot. RSS bots mean we're well provided for with headline news feeds, but we need more journalists here. Really appreciate your work!

As the Scientists Against Genocide Encampment enters its third night, MIT Jews for Ceasefire are holding a Seder. We are so proud to support these Jewish students and allies, embodying their values in the face of extreme censorship.

TUFTS: Two hands holding a cardboard sign that says "Free Gaza". In the background you can see two tents, and a quad at sunset.

A day before Passover begins, the rabbi at Columbia University in NYC tells his Jewish students to go home as the school cannot keep them safe after pro-Palestinian protestors on campus yell “Burn Tel Aviv to the ground!” and other pro-violence slogans supporting Hamas.

@ifnotnowboston@mastodon.social avatar

@w7voa Just-released statement from the protestors:

"We firmly reject any form of hate or bigotry and stand vigilant against non-students attempting to disrupt the solidarity being forged among students-Palestinian, Muslim, Arab, Jewish, Black, and pro-Palestinian classmates and colleagues who represent the full diversity of our country."

@palestine

We firmly reject any form of hate or bigotry and stand vigilant against non-students attempting to disrupt the solidarity being forged among students-Palestinian, Muslim, Arab, Jewish, Black, and pro-Palestinian classmates and colleagues who represent the full diversity of our country. We have been peaceful. We follow in the footsteps of the civil rights and anti-war movements in our quest for liberation. We will remain until moved by force or Columbia concedes to our demands: 1. Divest all finances, including the endowment, from corporations that profit from Israeli apartheid, genocide, and occupation in Palestine. 2. Complete transparency for all of Columbia's financial investments. 3. Amnesty for all students and faculty disciplined or fired in the movement for Palestinian liberation.
