Today, I witnessed pro-Israeli agitators & provocateurs descend upon the students from 3pm on UofT Occupy for Palestine. They were desperately antagonizing & trying to instigate some sort of violence.
I have watched this happen in some form or another every single day.
My mobile is running out of power..
we are fleeing homes and shelters under heavy #Israeli_bombing ..
We don’t know where to go..
If you don’t see my posts again, don’t forget me!
Everywhere I've walked into, everyone I've cold-called or flagged IRL has been here for our students UofT Occupy for Palestine saying they love and admire the 🍉&🏕️people. Deeply humbled by obvious & invisible extensions of care in the midst of overwhelming heartbreak, opportunism, disregard🧿
There are many (wonderful) Jewish faculty & students at the UofT Occupy for Palestine... we even had a beautiful Circle Shabbat on Friday. As a member of JewishFaculty.ca, I was at the camp & asked to speak with this prof. I assure you it was his bad behaviour that led them to close the gate.
