As Columbia University students take over Hamilton Hall, renaming it Hind's Hall in honor of 5-year-old Hind Rajab, killed by Israeli forces in January, Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman spoke to protesters calling for the university to divest from Israel.

I went to Grants Pass, Oregon, a town of 40,000 people that’s about to re-write homelessness policy for the entire United States. I found a perfect encapsulation of our national crisis.

Robin D.G. Kelley to Shafik:

“You’ve been condemned by your faculty, by the majority of students, and by scholars and human rights activists around the world. You are keeping no one safe, except for your donors, trustees, and Columbia’s endowment”.

Israeli scholar of the Holocaust Omer Bartov عومر بَرتوف עמר ברטוב argues that accusations of antisemitism levied at campus protests against Israel's occupation of Palestine are disingenuous.

“There’s nothing threatening about opposing occupation or oppression.'

Not me crying watching the Black students at Stanford provide free breakfast for everyone at the Palestine encampment. 😭😭😭

What a way to do the work and honor the Black Panther Party.

“We grant the full right to those who are occupying McGill & other campuses throughout Turtle Island to be upon the said lands, with the expressed intent of engaging their administrations to divest from the colonial genocide of israel upon the Palestinian People.”

The traditional council of Kahnawake has confirmed that students have the right to be on this land.

What do you think calling for a ceasefire & divestment from weapons manufacturers is??

The University of Oregon has a Gaza solidarity encampment! 👏🏼 (Photo from the UO SJP Instagram)

These students have put a lot of time and energy into organizing a thoughtful, caring, and critical movement that seeks to hold our institution accountable while remaining steadfast in its focus on Palestinian liberation. 🇵🇸

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is present via Zoom in the University of Oregon #GazaSolidarityEncampment !

She is supportive, asks us to be safe & urges us to stay in control of the movement.

'Your voice matters! [...] I am here to tell you I love you and to thank you!'

Thank YOU, Rashida Tlaib!

My heart. The kids and the people in Gaza are watching. Their eyes and gratitude…I simply have no words. Students across the United States are teaching us so much. Cease fire now 🍉🍉🍉🍉

These Elders! 🥹🥰🇵🇸

If you’re setting up a liberation library at your Gaza solidarity encampment and you’d like some rad books, write to us at orders[at]haymarketbooks.org and we’ll send some free books to get you started

Today is a great day to become an abolitionist.

How do you go back to school after they brought out snipers on you?

Messages of support and strength from Rafah to the student movement ❤️ this is who we fight for

I cannot overstate how dangerous this is. If you think that the US government should treat these students the way they are treating Hamas and Hezbollah, you are basically saying there is no level of violence that is off-limits.

For the first time in a long time things are beginning to feel the way they are supposed to feel in a country that is facilitating a genocide.
