Ivy League university student groups are supporting Boycott, Divestments, and Sanctions (BDS) because they feel their universities should not be invested in Israel as it carries out the ongoing ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Columbia, NYU, Princeton and other big universities had students who were joined by professors and faculty arrested and forcibly removed by police. Meanwhile, Jewish Voices for Peace was suspended by Columbia because they dare to critique Israel. There are Jewish students who are a part of this organized encampments, and according to the student organizers, they have tried to make the encampment a place of community, and welcome for those who are using their right to protest non violently and peacefully under our first amendment. There are also counter protestors who are right wing provocateurs who infiltrate, and instigate for media coverage, or create hysteria. As cable media outlets and some politicians including President Biden have called these encampments or the protestors as flatly antisemitic, or worse. I understand if people feel protestors shouldn’t use the word “antifata”, which means uprising, which they may feel is a call for violence. The majority of these student protestors if they use it, they use the term not as a call for violence but the uprising of a group of oppressed people who are facing death,destruction, famine, annihilation. That is what we should be focusing on. The munitions the U.S. is sending to Israel, its aiding in weaponry, bombs, bunker busters, and a recent 26 Billion dollar package to Israel. Israel is always given the benefit of the doubt in western media, and similar to the Vietnam war student protestors of the late 1960’s and early 70’s, they were smeared, suspended, misconstrued, delegitimized, and faced police brutality. The upcoming Democratic National Convention is in Chicago again this summer so we’ll see if history can repeat itself again. To critique Israel is not to critique all Jewish people. We should be grateful young, educated, intelligent students are coming together to show their solidarity, and tactfully organizing to use their free speech. #bds #divestfromisrael #gazagenocide #freespeech

This is not an isolated incident. UNRWA and other humanitarian groups have been stopped by Netanyahu. Six World Central Kitchen aid workers and one Palestinian driver were killed by an Israeli airstrike in this ongoing slaughter and politically planned famine of innocent civilians in Gaza. WCK with their trucks labeled, coordinated their deliveries with the Israeli military’s awareness and still they were targeted. These aid workers and that driver had families, one pictured with his wife and baby, had dual Canadian/American citizenship. They were compassionate and cared about the 2 Million displaced refugees who are starving as famine is being used as a means for annihilation. President Biden continues to reward Netanyahu’s administration for its war crimes with billions of dollars in weapons transfers including one transfer this past week worth 2.5 Billion. Biden and AIPAC sponsored Corporate Democrats and Republicans in office take Israeli lobby money which also enriches U.S. military defense contractors. According to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, over 15,000 children have been brutally bombed, starved, or shot to death. Innocent men and women have been tortured, lost their homes either to endless brutal bombardments, or violent religious fundamentalists Israeli settlers who are sponsored by Netanyahu’s far right authoritarian government. All adult males according to Netanyahu are “terrorist” or labeled “terrorist” after death. These Palestinians are 2 Million displaced refugees without any quality of life, without a future, without a civilized world protecting them. This is unacceptable, but unfortunately I know the Biden administration will never hold Israel accountable for this crime, or any other crime against humanity. Biden can make P.R. statements or have John Kirby cover for Israel even with the bold face lie of “the state department has looked at incidents in the past and has yet to determine any of those incidents violate international humanitarian law.” Actions speak louder than words. President Biden’s actions and Kirby’s lies are outrageous and heinous. #worldcentralkitchen #gaza @euromedhr #gazagenocide #civiliansmatter @washingtonpost

This strike was intentional. Israel has admitted they attacked the World Central Kitchen workers because their driver was a possible terrorist, without any verification. How do we resist when powerful governments that have the power to input a humanitarian ceasefire or verbally and fiscally denounce a government acting with genocidal war plans is being backed by the same powerful militaries and governments that are supposed to uphold democracy? These six World Central Kitchen aid workers and the Palestinian driver deserved to be protected as they planned their food delivery with the awareness of the Israeli military. As long as innocent civilians are killed, harmed, starved, and the Biden Administration insists that Israel will investigate this killing is laughable, there won’t be justice for anyone affected by this war. Netanyahu does not give a damn about civilian life, nor does anyone supporting this annihilation. Politics is about greed, power, control, humanity is being left out. Israel was meant to be a safe haven for Jews, but how is Israel safe with Netanyahu’s administration full of totalitarian, fascistic, nationalist, religious zealots in power, and the never ending brutal occupation of Palestine. As history recalls, dehumanization leads to acts of unspeakable cruelty. The Biden Administration will reward Israel’s war crimes with billions of dollars worth of weapons transfers, as Trump has also been bribed by Israeli American billionaires, the late Sheldon and Miriam Adelson, and does not act with rationality. This normalized corruption in U.S. politics is why the American and other western governments are backing Netanyahu’s government, and not on the side of humanity. We cannot casually accept or enable genocide, or simply the killing of any innocent civilian. As a Jew, I want peace and stability for all innocent civilians with accountability for those in power who caused this brutal conflict.

Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things is an other worldly, fantastical, frankensteinish, feminist, strange, sexual, romantic, truthful dark comedy and Best Actress winner Emma Stone’s is the center of its bold, uninhibited, childlike otherworldliness. #poorthings #bellabaxter #oscars2024 #bestactress #emmastone @louisvuitton #yorgoslanthimos #bestof2023 #bestfilmsof2023

Justine Triet’s Anatomy of a Fall is such a daringly compelling, and ambiguous film that deserves its recognition. Best Actress nominee and The Zone of Interest’s Sandra Huller is astounding, as were Swann Arlaud and Milo Machado-Graner who were brave to be the only Oscar attendees wearing Palestine flag pins. #anatomyofafall #justinetriet #sandrahüller #bestactress #thezoneofinterest #swannarlaud #milomachadograner #oscars2024 @schiaparelli #freepalestine

These artists wore Artists 4 Ceasefire Pin. If only the rest of Hollywood were compelled to do this or more, there would more awareness, or care about Gaza. Oscar attendees in the early 1990’s wore red pins for HIV and AIDS awareness, but as time goes by celebrity fashion is less aware, less activist, less political. Poor Things’ Ramy Youssef, What Was I Made For’s Finneas O’Connell and Billie Eilish, Riz Ahmed, Ava DuVernay, Poor Things’ Mark Ruffalo. Anatomy of a Fall’s Swann Arlaud and Milo Machado-Graner wore Palestinian flag pins which was even more brave than the rest of Oscar attendees. #artists4ceasefire #gaza #palestinianlivesmatter🇵🇸 #celebswhoareaware #poorthings #ramyyoussef #markruffalo #finneasoconnell #billieeilish #whatwasimadefor #barbie #rizahmed #avaduvernay #milomachadograner #swannarlaud #anatomyofafall #oscars2024

Jonathan Glazer was the only winner at the 96th Oscars that was brave. To highlight dehumanization, and the weaponization of identity that has led to the Israel/Gaza conflict right now. The issue some media outlets or pundits take with Glazer is that he even mentioned the genocide in Gaza. To highlight dehumanization, and the weaponization of identity that has led to this genocide being done right now. Glazer made an incredible film that shows not just what we did then, but how we as humans continue to do what we did then in so many ways. So many people will never recognize or acknowledge the Gaza genocide still, nor the brutal occupation of Gazans and Palestinians for 75 years. How do we resist when the powerful and wealthy in the U.S. government will continue to support Netanyahu’s ethnic cleaning, and Israeli Jews who are consumed with Ethno-Nationalism propaganda. Congrats to Jonathan Glazer whose bravery cracked through the hermetically sealed elitist bubble, at least some of the Oscar attendees live in. #thezoneofinterest #jonathanglazer #oscars2024 #bravespeech #brave #gazagenocide🇪🇭 #gaza #civilianlivesmatter

She may not have won, but her performance and nomination is historic. In the 96 years of the Academy, only 2 women of color have won Best Lead Actress. Lily Gladstone gave an incredibly layered, quietly powerful performance in a film that openly criticizes colonialism. At a time when colonialism has played a part in the apartheid politics and genocide of Indigenous communities, Native Americans, and Palestinians. She deserved to be the first Native American to win, but her performance will last longer than the Oscar telecast. Her look was an Oscar winner’s, Gucci worked with Indigenous quillwork artist Joe Big Mountain on the beautiful design. #lilygladstone #killersoftheflowermoon #bestactress #oscars2024 #mollieburkhart #indigenous #nativeamerican #blackfootconfederacy #osagenation #representationmatters @gucci #gucci #joebigmountain @joe.bigmtn

Over 14,000 children have been killed, traumatized in the most brutal ways. Thousands of babies and kids are getting amputated without anesthesia, and are now left without food, or functioning hospitals. The U.S. government is giving the green light to Netanyahu’s ethnic cleansing with hundreds of millions of taxpaying dollars, bombs, weapons. Meanwhile, corporate media will say Biden is wagging his finger, working behind the scenes but actions speak louder than words. President Biden will meet and hug one day soon, Netanyahu and his far right authoritarian government that is starving and brutalizing any civilians left, in order to resettle Gaza. Is America proud of this? Where is our humanity? I hate what Hamas did on October 7th, but to bomb, torture, and starve tens of thousands of civilians, displace over 1 million civilians is not defending yourself, it’s annihilation. #gazagenocide2024 #annihilation #gazastarving🇯🇴 #genocide #bidenstopsupportingnetanyahu #civilianlivesmatter #palestinianlivesmatter🇵🇸 #muslimlivesmatter #arablivesmatter
