The police, the state, and its institutions are doing everything they can to maintain a system of dominance over students that want to see a world without genocide and apartheid funded by western settler colonial powers. We must protect our students.
Students at McGill have launched their encampment McGill University held $74 million in direct investment in companies complicit in upholding the apartheid and financing the Genocide McGill Uni students demand that the Uni divest from companies complicit in Israels occupation
Student uprisings have been right on nearly all justice issues in recent history. They were right about civil rights, women’s rights, Vietnam, South Africa, drug war, guns. Now, they’re right to denounce Israel’s genocide against Palestinians and US complicity in the slaughter.
That Columbia today chooses to meet students standing in solidarity with genocided Palestinians with militarism goes to show how academic spaces are exclusively concerned with the theoretical; never actually about translating that through practical application. It fears that.
@_citoyenne Administrators aren't educators. They have the same relationship with the students that a hedge fund manager has with a stock.
As the tide turns globally, I see the effort to pin the blame solely on Netanyahu. The strategy is to resurrect Israel's image in the process of toppling him. But genocide is not a one-man show; the whole system is culpable. Zionism must be abolished. There is no going back.
The same people claiming to act w/total “precision” & “minimize civilian casualties” have been targeting aid convoys for weeks. Now World Kitchen suspended operations, a 4M ton donation from Cyprus turned around. The world does *nothing* as millions starve. Mission accomplished.
The same conservatives who were crying yesterday about the government not mentioning “Easter” are crying today about poor children getting fed. The irony.

Genocide Joly’s ok with genocide but draws the line at public accountability. No peace for war criminals.

And the Government of Alberta has once again made it harder for anyone but the rich to attend university. Your greed thrives on the oppression of your people by purposely withholding healthcare and education. Shame on the university for making it so easy for them every year.
Poster spotted in Edmonton, Alberta quoting the last words of Aaron Bushnell, the US airman & anarchist who set himself alight in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington DC in protest against the ongoing massacre of Gaza's population.
“I don’t mind at all that I am slightly inconvenienced. So my trip doesn’t go exactly as planned, but I still have a life. I can still live. I’m not dying, I’m not starving.”
“I don’t mind at all that I am slightly inconvenienced. So my trip doesn’t go exactly as planned, but I still have a life. I can still live. I’m not dying, I’m not starving.”
My cousin got her first period while forcibly displaced in a tent in southern Gaza. Her mother spent two days looking for sanitary pads & painkillers amid israel’s genocide & blockade of aid supplies. For International Women’s Day, call out feminists who are silent on Palestine.
CIJA is accusing the Muslim community of being un-Canadian, just because Mosques don't want to give a platform to politicians who won't do the bare minimum of calling for an end to the killing of Palestinian children.

This is Brother Zacharia, the Muslim and Palestinian-American young father who was stabbed in a hate crime after the #AustinTX ceasefire protest. We applaud his courage. Even after being stabbed, Zach managed to overpower and subdue his attacker. Now he's recovering and still…
Three months ago there were 36 hospitals in Gaza. This morning there are none. Zero. All have been bombed by Israel. The same country that claimed at the International Court of Justice that they would never attack a hospital.
This week, as the genocide continues, I received the disappointing news that U of Alberta administrators refuse to meet with their own community, as had been requested by 1,146 signatories of an Open Letter on the Repression of Palestinians & Palestine Solidarity at @UAlberta 1/

The International Criminal Court having to release a statement saying to America and Israel “stop trying to intimidate us with threats, that too is a crime” sure is extremely grim.
Statement of the #ICC Office of the Prosecutor
@alex_dacosta01 And by “crime,” he means people who are poor making rich people uncomfortable. And by “drop” he means such folks are now either in jail or dead.
Interesting how, when a police chief links drop in crime to more police funding, many eat it up. But when scholars of systemic racism in ed & those experiencing police violence link decades of research to no clear effects of police in schools on school safety... 🫠
Apparently the University of Alberta is so terrified of a pro-Palestinian encampment, that they've completely shut down campus and staff/students must use their proximity passes to access any buildings. Services are basically shut down.
I couldn’t resist!!!!
@themattmager @AnrchstRvwOfBks With my heart and soul, Prof. @emanabdelhadi, keeping her company on her faculty night watch. As she is a demographer, we are counting tents and doing a little sociological study of the neighborhood
Rosa Parks was SUPPOSED to be in the back of the bus (BY LAW) and she said NO. I will sit in the front. She violated the law but that law was unjust and it sparked the civil rights movement in the South. Do not tell me that law matters more than morality.
As a former student activist who learned to organize with groups like Amnesty International and the March 8th Coalition, I say power to the students. Calling for a ceasefire, release of hostages, and an end to human suffering is not a criminal act. Send peace, not the police.
Anyone who tells you not to protest is in direct benefit of your oppression
If your case against divestment is that the university would lose too much money, then universities ought to wonder why they’re profiting from genocide
This hurt my heart so much. I cannot believe this is happening in 2024 in supposedly the most liberal country in the world. But then again, I can because this democracy was not created for us.
Here’s what a student had to say to @Harvard Dean Khurana when picking up their GPA award.
Faculty arrested for holding a banner… I did not see 2024 coming.
UofT for Palestine!! ✊✊
🚨 LIBERATED!! @UofT students have SUCCESSFULLY set up their ENCAMPMENT of King's College Circle in SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE, despite attempts by police to disrupt our non-violent protest. Welcome to the People's Circle for Palestine.
I stand in solidarity with students and anti-war advocates. What is happening in the US right now is very dangerous and alarming. In Canada, I want students to know this: It is your right to peacefully protest - and I will defend that. New Democrats will continue to stand for…
NSLSC
Oh, hell yeah! Western students! "Protesters are demanding the university divest from companies with ties to Israel. About 100 protesters have set up about a dozen tents." lfpress.com/news/local-new…
Thanks to capitalism, they run universities like corporations. They only care about their reputations & profits. As a microcosm of real world politics, my experience was valuable in teaching me you cannot change a system from within. Disrupt, challenge from the outside. 3/
