On April 17, the one-year anniversary of the Columbia University Gaza encampment, academic workers, students, and activists are calling for a coordinated national direct action to protest the ongoing genocide and escalating repression in the U.S.

The voices of Palestinians who protested against Hamas in Gaza are not only a reminder of the unbearable suffering that has been inflicted upon them, but also of the fact that those subjected to that suffering are an entire people, and not Hamas.

Anti-Hamas protests this week in Gaza reflect widespread Palestinian desperation amid the Israeli genocide. The figures behind the protests might also indicate that external actors are now seeking to exploit Gaza’s pain for political gain.

The soldiers are just waiting for any excuse, or just the right moment to kill anyone.”

The Trumps and Netanyahus think they can use anarchy as a specter to vilify uprisings, but Adi Callai writes: “The more they use the term ‘anarchists’ to disparage a mass movement, the higher we can raise our voices and offer an alternative.”
