Brilliant minds think alike on Gaza

... both Jewish and non-Jewish students, inspired by anti-Apartheid protests in Beinecke Plaza decades earlier, had gathered for a week-long sit-in to demand that Yale divest the portion of its endowment invested in the stocks of military contractors, which make the weapons Israel is currently using in its war with Hamas in Gaza. The students were protesting under the Occupy Beinecke coalition, which includes Yale Jews for Ceasefire, a group of Jewish students dedicated to fighting for a ceasefire in Gaza as well as sustainable peace and equality within the region.

The lesson will be to reject the abuses of force; the abuses of authority; to embrace respect for people's differences and hopefully, a retreat from politicizing or pitting against each other what are ultimately universal values of peace and the betterment of all for all, and get to enjoy them instead. One hopes. There is an awful lot of pain and hatred trying to be implanted at the moment, and it's going to take a superhuman effort to forgive after the madness passes. We will have to rally around the positives and focus towards the future.

To protesting students:

SEIZE YOUR CENTURY

Push back against dark times ✊🏼

The younger generation doesn't disappoint:

"As students who are being taught in class about colonialism, about Indigenous rights, about the effect of non-violent protest across history, it would be extremely hypocritical – or it would totally undermine the point of our education – if we didn’t act”

"Tell the world"... "Don't forget us" say Gazans

Protest without alienating allies, as "most Palestinians and Jews want peace"

The protesters have taken “an extremist, maximalist, inflammatory, unreasonable, and totally illogical approach which is harmful to the pro-Palestinian cause,” wrote Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, a Gaza-born Palestinian analyst who has lost a staggering 31 members of his own family in recent months. Via social media, Alkhatib urges the demonstrators to stop “wasting time with slogan-driven and maximalist activism that does nothing”, and instead to “use your western privilege to actually help the Palestinian people and promote a pragmatic path forward by engaging Israeli and Jewish audiences”. For him, it’s clear that that pragmatic path leads to two states, Israel and Palestine, side by side. As a demand, it does not deliver the same transgressive thrill as calling for an all-Arab, Jew-free Palestine.

I don't know which Palestinians would prefer, since their voices have been muffled by media and only these bright students have been able to drive the point home and occupy the public space on their behalf 👏🏼. Protests AND savvy use of privilege?... anything is good at this point that gets Palestinians heard. 👍🏼

They want to live.

No "double standards" here...

While US laws prohibit Washington from providing military assistance to individuals or units that commit gross human rights violations, they have never been used against Israel.

Musical pause ⛅

Zionism is an antiquated mechanism used by power hungry Europeans intent on politicizing religion as a cult that has since radicalized others by default and divided people who used to peacefully coexist such as in Palestine. It's an evil that drags its members into a bottomless moral abyss such as what we're now witnessing.

Go away Zionism

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Zionists harassing protesters even in Japan:

But here's the receipts of Israeli attacks on Palestinians...

cant get more fascist police state than snipers on rooftops overlooking peaceful protests.

this is what democracy looks like.

700 dead by Israelis in the Gaza mass graves

The UK's Mass Grave Blindspot

Months ago, the establishment British media largely lost interest in reporting on the continuing slaughter in Gaza. The contrast with the media’s early coverage of Ukraine has been stark. The discovery of a mass grave containing some 100 bodies in the Kyiv suburb of Bucha - blamed on Russian troops - caused international outrage.(...)

The general indifference of British media outlets to the mass graves found in Gaza is hugely convenient for Britain’s two main political parties. 

It's also hugely convenient to the British crown who half of their royals are playing the victim card by spontaneously all declaring themselves deathly ill for sympathy. No accountability there for creating this massacre.

This is what Israelis & their supporters are pushing on a child's psyche.

See how sick you are, "West".

Mass Grave Horrors

Organs missing. (!?!?)

Spin this, USA

If this were American soil, American citizens, you wouldn't be such apologists.
