Students at Emory University have been targeted by racist, anti-Palestinian, xenophobic, and Islamophobic harassment and attacks for their support for Palestinian human rights. Instead of helping, Emory has committed discriminatory acts of its own.
Palestinian rights advocacy is being regularly demonized and criminalized across each Big Ten University. We reject this suppression and will continue holding our universities accountable for their complicity in the Palestinian genocide.
Zionism’s promise to give Jews freedom in their own land has utterly failed. Jews are more insecure in Israel than ever, while American Jews’ promise to support Israel blindly has allowed Israel to paint itself into a fascistic supremacist corner.
At least five countries have pulled their funding from the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees over Israeli claims that staff members participated in the October 7 attack. Israel keeps killing Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
The State Department has paused funding for UNRWA after the Israeli government accused 12 employees of being involved in the October 7 attack.
Mondoweiss spoke with Columbia student Zainab Khan who witnessed the chemical attack on pro-Palestine protesters. “After the other day, I totally believe that an IOF soldier could physically harm one of our protesters or, God forbid, even kill them.”
In refusing to pressure Israel into a ceasefire while continuing to launch strikes on Yemen, Biden has shown utter contempt for all Arabs and Muslims, including his own Arab and Muslim American citizens who say they won’t vote for him over Gaza.
While the court stopped short of calling for a ceasefire, Israel is ordered to allow aid into Gaza, punish incitement to genocide, and take more protective measures for civilians – even as the situation on the ground remains cataclysmic.
In a historic ruling against Israel for apparent acts of genocide, the International Court of Justice called on Israel to immediately prevent genocidal acts in Gaza and punish calls for incitement. The case against Israel will now move forward.
As the carnage in Gaza continues the Biden administration’s public statements on the situation are becoming more and more ridiculous.
