THE Dr. Angela Davis speaking at the student encampment on Auraria campus in Denver this weekend.
"I want you to know how important it is that you are taking this stand and this moment," Davis said, addressing the protesters. "I want to emphasize what this means for history. As you imagine this period being narrated 10 years, 20 years, 50 years from now, you will be the historical actors who made it possible for a breakthrough for the struggle against Zionism and the struggle for a free Palestine."

as we watch the rabid violence and hatred toward students protesting on college campuses for palestine, a friendly reminder that during the anti-war student movement during the vietnam era:
7 in 10 Americans thought the country "would be better off if there were less protest and dissatisfaction coming from college campuses."
A Gallup poll following the Kent State shootings found 58% of Americans blamed the students for their own deaths
just as a glaring reminder that the reactions we're seeing to these protests are typically american (and essentially from the mouth of richard nixon), and have not changed or progressed at all in the last ~50 years

P.S:
"Be advised, police have the tools to detect who's phones are at a protest. If you can, bring a recording device other than your phone." Thanks @lercymoth for the extra info. I'll put it here so more people can see.

Please help @/haneenatya. Their posts hardly get circulated except for their pinned one. Their gfm is vetted by a Palestinian blogger here. If one or two reblogs from you would get them to a larger audience. It might help.

"As Columbia University’s administration threaten the mass suspension of hundreds this afternoon, students and faculty in the Gaza liberation encampment are remaining steadfast and collectively refusing to leave. In their own words, suspension for Gaza is the highest honor. May we all learn from their example." from Palestinian Youth Movement, 30/Apr/2024:
It is not "just an opinion" and we cannot "agree to disagree" WHEN IT IS LITERALLY THE LIVES OF PEOPLE. GENOCIDE. ETHINIC CLEANSING. ISRAEL DOING WAR CRIMES WITH THE USA'S HELP.

The Isr@eli occupation soldiers are using “explosive food cans” to kill Palestinians when they try to open it in light of the ongoing starvation and siege policy. These cans were left by the soldiers inside the bombed homes or the previously occupied in the Gaza Strip.
