   📢 We refuse to be part of an academic elite that is silent today, only to teach about genocide in 20 years. In the last two weeks, at least 30 Universities in Turtle Island have set up Gaza solidarity camps, including Barnard, Berkeley, MIT and Columbia. (1/n)

     🚫Antisemitism shall have no place in our universities and movements. And despite the efforts of some media outlets to tell otherwise, advocating for Palestinian rights is not an act of antisemitism nor an apology of the killing of civilians.

     📢"We are witnessing a genocide in real-time. I will always and forever oppose both genocide and terrorism in any form, as I believe all humans should," states Peter Kalmus, member of @SRTurtleIsland

     📢We proudly stand on the side of faculty members and student organizations (including Jewish Voices for Peace) that refuse to maintain a complicit silence towards the genocide happening in Gaza.

     🕊️We support the calls for a ceasefire, the stop to the Rafah invasion, the release of Israeli and Palestinian hostages, and the establishment of a concrete peace process that includes the freedom to self-determination for Palestinian people as well.

     🔖The arrests marked the first time the university has allowed police to suppress campus protests since the 1968 demonstrations against the Vietnam War.

     🔇Academic institutions are once again ready to suppress uncomfortable voices, waiting 60 years before presenting themselves as seeds of the very same change those voices are demanding.

     👮The encampment was violently dismantled when university president Nemat Shafik authorized the New York City Police Department to storm the campus and conduct mass arrests, but it has now been restored with widespread support. (3/n)

     ❗️The death count in Gaza reached 34150 deaths, 72% of whom were children and women. In the occupied West Bank, 487 people were killed by Israeli settlers and the IDF.

     ⛺️On April 17, 2024, students established the Gaza Solidarity Encampment on Columbia campus, demanding the university divest from Israel.
