📢 We refuse to be part of an academic elite that is silent today, only to teach about genocide in 20 years. In the last two weeks, at least 30 Universities in Turtle Island have set up Gaza solidarity camps, including Barnard, Berkeley, MIT and Columbia. (1/n)

⛺️On April 17, 2024, students established the Gaza Solidarity Encampment on Columbia campus, demanding the university divest from Israel.

🔇Academic institutions are once again ready to suppress uncomfortable voices, waiting 60 years before presenting themselves as seeds of the very same change those voices are demanding.

in reply to Scientist Rebellion • • •📢We proudly stand on the side of faculty members and student organizations (including Jewish Voices for Peace) that refuse to maintain a complicit silence towards the genocide happening in Gaza.
🕊️We support the calls for a ceasefire, the stop to the Rafah invasion, the release of Israeli and Palestinian hostages, and the establishment of a concrete peace process that includes the freedom to self-determination for Palestinian people as well.

No genocide. What did you write about the terroristic attacs of oct. 2023? What did you write about the hostages?

in reply to Samuel Mumm • • •@samuelmumm deliberately rendering Gaza uninhabitable clearly meets the definition of genocide.
Speaking for myself, I’m glad that 105 hostages were freed through negotiations, and I hope to see more. I’m also glad that three hostages were rescued by the IDF, but since the IDF has killed at least one hostage for every one they rescue, I don’t hope to see more “rescues” with the same success ratio.

I see no genocide. And yes, the IDF and the right-wing up to fasszist government is overacting.

Because Hamas is using human shields. And Hamas used human help for building weapons.

Do you really believe Hamas didn't use most of the infrastucture in Gaza?

The Hamas is using the complete infrastructure of Gaza. These terrorists use institutions like hospitals and persons as shiels and take the people of Gaza as human shield.
