The longstanding partnership between California State University, Long Beach and Boeing is a showcase of higher education's complicity with US-Israeli militarism and the Gaza genocide.
The arrests and violence against protesters are meant to tire the movement for liberation and scare us into complacency. They are afraid of the power we hold as a collective.
Fifty years ago, I joined in protests against the Vietnam war. Today the mainstream media is smearing pro-Palestine student protests in ways that are even worse than how we were slandered back then.
This is a prime time for Democrats to change their tune on #Gaza.
"On the basis of evidence collected and examined by my Office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that Benjamin NETANYAHU, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav GALLANT, the Minister of Defence of Israel, bear criminal responsibility for the following war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the State of Palestine (in the Gaza strip) from at least 8 October 2023"
Finally!
The International Criminal Court has applied for arrest warrants for the leaders of Hamas in Gaza & for President Netanyahu and his defence minister Yoav Galant for war crimes.
This will put a very large cat among those pigeons who are enabling such war crimes.
"After seven months of enabling Israel’s large-scale destruction of Gaza...Biden finally took a step toward accountability by suspending one shipment of bombs. But within days, it became clear he would allow Israel to receive a far larger flow of weapons.
Biden will go down in history as a president who had the power to restrain Israel, but refused to use his influence effectively – and allowed the US to be complicit in a ruthless war"

Joe Biden continues to fully support the Gaza genocide because he does not believe it will hurt him politically, and because he has no empathy for the Palestinians. This is the same arrogance that brought down LBJ over the Vietnam war.

Not what I’m hearing: #Biden specifically speaks to #Gaza during his speech at Morehouse:
“He reminded them that he has called “for an immediate ceasefire…to stop the fighting [and] bring the hostages home.” His administration has been working for a deal, as well as to get more aid into Gaza and to rebuild it. Crucially, he added, there is more at stake than “just one ceasefire.” He wants “to build a lasting, durable peace. Because the question is…: What after?..”
Israeli university presidents condemnation of the Gaza solidarity protests in the U.S. is revealing Israeli universities' complicity in occupation, apartheid, and genocide.
The Biden administration refuses to abandon the farcical cornerstone of its policy in the Middle East: a normalization deal between the Saudis and Israel.
The New York Times has astonished its readers by publishing a long indictment of a subject it has purposely ignored for years: “Jewish terrorism” against Palestinians.
The Palestinian struggle is at a critical juncture. We must come together to breathe conviction and clarity into our movement. Join us May 24–27 for The People’s Conference for Palestine!
Since October, Israel's ongoing bombardment of Gaza has destroyed over 50% of all infrastructure, rooftop solar and power stations. Fuel supplies have been cut and residents lack consistent access to food, water or electricity
Israeli soldiers rounded up Ahmad Safi and his male family members in Khan Younis and made them stand atop a sand dune for 12 hours as the soldiers took cover behind them during a firefight with Palestinian resistance fighters. This is their story.
Standing Together, a grassroots movement focused on an Arab-Jewish partnership plans to mobilize Israelis in an attempt to quell the recent spate of attacks on trucks carrying humanitarian aid into Gaza perpetrated by right-wing settlers.
The group is a large, fast-growing movement dedicated to "mobilizing Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel in pursuit of peace, equality, and social and climate justice."
"A handful of powerful businessmen pushed New York City Mayor Eric Adams to use police to crack down on pro-Palestinian student protesters at #Columbia University, donating to the politician and offering to pay for private investigators to help break up the demonstrations, based on leaked WhatsApp conversations"
