12 hours (and multiple campus protest updates) later and still nothing from the The New York Times on the Khan Younis mass grave story that has been covered by CNN, The Guardian, PBS, The Independent, and Al Jazeera.

Very telling that on the same day politicians are swooping in to Columbia's campus to demonize student protestors, hundreds of teachers are putting themselves out there to stand alongside those same students

schools profit from their investments in companies such as Elbit, Lockheed Martin, Caterpillar, Hewlett Packard, and Boeing — Columbia University is one of them. the students protesting are responding to their campuses profiting from the business of exterminating a population

i hope people are making the connection that the campus protests are not only displays of solidarity with Palestinians, they’re a demand of divestment from the genocide apparatus because so many schools have financial ties to that apparatus - that alone should be appalling

I cannot stress enough how the ADL is partially responsible for generating this mass hysteria around Ivy League students peacefully protesting.

The ADL has worked overtime to train people to interpret criticism of Israel as nothing other than anti-Jewish hatred.

It's vile and base to offer students a world where silent agreement with genocide is painted as a rational, expected payment for entering the world of adults. It speaks well of the students all across the United States that they refuse the lie of necessary evil.
