Since the start of Israel’s bombing of Gaza, students at Columbia have organized numerous protests, vigils, and rallies in a show of support for civilians in Gaza. As part of a nationwide “Shut it Down for Palestine” walkout on November 9, SJP and JVP arranged an art installation and rally.
One day later, the groups were suspended for the unauthorized event and “threatening rhetoric and intimidation,” making them ineligible to hold campus events or receive school funding for the remainder of the term.

in reply to LA Legault 🇨🇦 • • •Let's look at it as what it truly is: is a conflict between a western settler colonial state and the indigenous population that is being ethnically cleansed. Now, as an arm to project western dominance, it has become an internal issue as well. That's why they feel justified abridging rights and even attacking protesters with police.
