MIT encampment first-person account from Chanda:
Has @POTUS or @SenFettermanPA or @SenJackyRosen, who have been busy commenting on Columbia, said anything about any of these statements - openly bigoted, violent, genocidal statements - not from random college students but from actual GOP lawmakers with power? If not, why not?

I look forward to offering two very important amendments on the upcoming supplemental. One: NO unfettered military aid to Netanyahu’s war machine. Two: Restore funding for UNRWA so that children in Gaza don’t starve.
Key point. Columbia isn’t allowing proper access to reporters — some limited workarounds — and all sorts of nonsense, including confusing inside and outside of the university, is circulating. A student protest is going national on the basis of very distorted impressions.

Don’t be silly Muhammad, the mainstream media doesn’t have time for mass graves as they are busy covering a college campus protest (against the people who dug those graves!)
This is a key point from Eric. We have to be able to recognize growing & actual antisemitism, anti-Jewish hate, of the type described below, & condemn+tackle it, while also recognizing, separately, how bogus antisemitism charges are used to smear pro-Palestine activists & chants.

As a @BarnardCollege graduate I am shocked & ashamed that it & @Columbia are violently crushing the right of students to peacefully protest. This is not who we are. Both schools must immediately reinstate these students & protect their right to fight for a free Palestine.

This is a deeply disturbing response from the Biden administration to historic student anti-war protests.

An ongoing conflict for nearly a year has devastated #Sudan, forcing millions to flee. Approximately 8.5 million people have been displaced. In February, the UN estimated that 25 million, including 14 million children, are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance.
#TALKABOUTSUDAN - the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world, but getting almost no news or attention.
#TALKABOUTSUDAN - the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world, but getting almost no news or attention.
Street battles in #Sudan’s suburbs and villages continue. Our teams across 11 states perform surgeries, aid births, and provide medical care. In refugee camps, we improve water and sanitation. But this is just a drop in the ocean of the vast needs.

Has @POTUS or @SenFettermanPA or @SenJackyRosen, who have been busy commenting on Columbia, said anything about any of these statements - openly bigoted, violent, genocidal statements - not from random college students but from actual GOP lawmakers with power? If not, why not?
No consequences for any of this: "Level the place" – Lindsey Graham "Israel can bounce the rubble in Gaza" – Tom Cotton "We’re going to turn that into a parking lot" - Max Miller Brian Mast comparing Palestinian civilians to Nazis "Goodbye to Palestine" - Chuck Fleischmann
I am a professor and as of today, I quit my position as Artist-in-Residence #ColumbiaUniversity which I have served for the past two years. I am an Associate Professor at Hunter College and in support of the courageous student protestors at Columbia, I cannot in good conscience..
I look forward to offering two very important amendments on the upcoming supplemental. One: NO unfettered military aid to Netanyahu’s war machine. Two: Restore funding for UNRWA so that children in Gaza don’t starve.
It's very obvious what is happening. Apologists for Israel's genocidal onslaught know they've lost public opinion on both sides of the Atlantic. They know pressure on arms sales and diplomatic support is growing. The answer? Whip up a moral panic about protesters instead.
People don’t have to like the 1968 antiwar movement or the current campus Gaza solidarity movement. But let’s stick to facts. Video of a random NYC person outside the campus doesn’t represent the students — who aren’t a monolith — and 1968 WAS way more disruptive and polarized.
@llunved You are referring to a video of a single person outside the campus. It’s NYC. People of all kinds exist. That’s exactly why social media is so unrepresentative of reality. In contrast “NLF is going to win” *was* a common chant among campus and other protesters in 1968.
Key point. Columbia isn’t allowing proper access to reporters — some limited workarounds — and all sorts of nonsense, including confusing inside and outside of the university, is circulating. A student protest is going national on the basis of very distorted impressions.

fwiw, my cousin is a student at Columbia. Months ago, he said that other kids knocked the yarmulke off his head as he crossed campus. The weaponization of bogus anti-Semitism charges to suppress dissent against mass murder is awful. But there are real problems on some campuses
As a @BarnardCollege graduate I am shocked & ashamed that it & @Columbia are violently crushing the right of students to peacefully protest. This is not who we are. Both schools must immediately reinstate these students & protect their right to fight for a free Palestine.
i’m an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest @ColumbiaSJP, in my 3 years at @BarnardCollege i have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings i just received notice that i am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide.
