The Harvard University Out Of Occupied Palestine Coalition has established a Liberated Zone to call for an end to Harvard’s moral and material complicity in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
The current “antisemitism panic” at Columbia University is manufactured hysteria weaponized to quell legitimate political speech on campus and give cover to the larger project of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and, now, of course, Gaza.
University administrators fail to understand that student activists have glimpsed a remarkable future in which Palestinian liberation is possible. The Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University is an inspiration to stay the course.
Columbia University’s president told a GOP-led congressional committee that the school disciplined multiple professors over their views on Gaza.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza is the defining political moment of our generation. We recently ended a week-long hunger strike against Brown University’s complicity, but we are not letting up the pressure.
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.
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.”
Students for Justice in Palestine has been reinstated at Rutgers University but is on probation until next December. Rutgers could have supported Palestinian students suffering during this time. Instead, our university has chosen to suppress our voices.
Our collective voices and financial influence are crucial in holding our institutions accountable. We call on fellow alumni to join us in supporting Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and pro-Palestinian students and activists on campus and beyond.
