MESSAGE FROM STUDENT ACTIONISTS INSIDE ❤️‍🔥
#FreePalestine
MESSAGE FROM STUDENT ACTIONISTS INSIDE ❤️‍🔥 Despite over three hours of kettling and assault by Columbia Public Safety, we continue to hold the line. We are facing one of the largest militarized police forces in the world. Deputized Public Safety officers have choked and beaten us, but we have not wavered. We refuse to show our IDs under militarized arrest. We refuse to go down quietly. We will not be useless intellectuals. Palestine is our compass, and we stand strong in the face of violent repression.

Israel’s Cabinet has approved plans to reoccupy Gaza and use U.S. private military contractors to distribute aid to Palestinians. Human rights and aid groups say the plan “makes a mockery of international humanitarian law.”

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech.

The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

“Bedouins are stuck to our land. We are an Indigenous community … we can’t just be flipped to another place.”

Israel claims Palestinian Bedouins don’t have hometowns and they can just move. But these people don’t want to leave their land aje.io/j3sfr6

The reality of genocide in Gz this week: a bakery that served a neighborhood forced to close due to the lack of flour, Rafah, the once promised 'red line' bombed with people trapped inside, new types of bombs rain down on a school packed with the displaced, the only water desalination plant bombed.

To the students who remain apathetic to Columbia's disregard for human life and its willingness to discard student safety: As pressure from the federal government intensifies, know that your neutrality on Palestine will not protect you. When the time comes for the federal government to target other causes, it will be your names that Columbia will offer on a silver platter, it will be your pleas that fall on deaf ears, it will be your just causes that are stonewalled. This institution's singular concern has always been the vitality of its financial profile, not the safety of Jewish students. This is why Columbia was all too happy to embrace a superficial progressive agenda while still disregarding Palestine, and this is why it will soon turn on you, too. This has been made clear most recently through the deputization of Public Safety officers to arrest students, the presence of New York Police Department officers and Department of Homeland Security agents on and around campus, the increasing use of surveillance technology, and the McCarthyist and racist interventions at the Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African studies department. This institution has systematically gutted every value it claims to uphold all so that it may better function as an arm of the state. If there was any illusion left, it shattered last week when the board of trustees executed a historic maneuver to seize direct control of the presidency. Cutting out their middleman, the board appointed fellow trustee Claire Shipman to a position reserved for academic leadership. Who can still pretend this is an educational institution and not the "Vichy on the Hudson"? Faced with a movement for divestment they couldn't crush, your trustees opted to set fire to the institution they're entrusted with. It is incumbent upon each of you to reclaim the University and join the student movement to carry forward the work of the past year. To members of Columbia's faculty who pat themselves on the back for their progressive leanings but are content to limit their participation to performative statements: What will it take for you to resist the destruction of your University? Are your positions worth more than the lives of your students and the integrity of your work? In his last message to a world that betrayed him, the beloved Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat said, "I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people." So too do we believe that it is the highest honor of our lives to struggle for the cause of Palestinian liberation. The student movement will continue to carry the mantle of a free Palestine. History will redeem us, while those who were content to wait on the sidelines will be forever remembered for their silence.

There is a long history in the United States of repression and violence deployed to silence those who advocate for Palestinian liberation. Often, this looks like false accusations of antisemitism.

The inherent compatibility and even affinity between Zionism and fascism has never been clearer. It’s entirely significant that this is the ideological edifice Trump is using to dismantle free speech, academic freedom and the right to protest.

Please give for Rümeysa Öztürk's legal defense. She's one of us and doing important work (child studies and human development!).

Standing up for her is fighting fascism and protecting rights to free speech for everyone in academia. Do everything in your power to help. #psychscisky #Devpsych
