Sometimes I really hate being an American and paying taxes just to fund whatever my state and country governments want to do with it i.e. little to nothing that actually goes to supporting and helping oppressed and minority groups or ending a gen0cide when that’s what really matters. I could honestly go on a rant as to why I want to go live in Ireland (which is where some of my ancestors are from).
FUCK Israel and FUCK the USA, may you all go down miserably, together.
The police and the higher ups aren’t arresting protesters because they are afraid that their minds will be changed. They chose money over people and that’s set in stone. No, they are afraid that these protesters will change YOUR mind.
i wish i could say this more eloquently but watching these college solidarity encampments popping up around the world… watching university faculty use themselves as shields to protect their students from the police… watching these students put their own safety on the line to demand divestments… i’ve never seen anything like it, and every update moves me to tears.
Anti-war protestors in Aotearoa / New Zealand pasting up posters and dyeing fountains red to draw attention to the government's ongoing complicity in war and genocide.
Among those arrested in Atlanta today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University. You can hear her ask the PhD student taking the video:
“Can you call the Philosophy Department office and tell them I’ve been arrested?...I’m Noelle McAfee, I’m Chair of the Philosophy Department”
It's insane how casually the calls to end a genocide, not just the students in Columbia University but pro Palestinian views in general, are labelled as terrorists. The audacity to still publicly support Israel's actions even after the horrific bombings these last months and then turn around to say that the ones who oppose it are violent anti semites is just baffling
