Today in Labor History May 22, 1968: New York police broke through the barricades at Columbia University, busting the student occupations there. As a result, 998 were arrested and over 200 injured. Students were demanding a black studies program and an end to military recruitment and ROTC on campus. Sound familiar? However, todayโ€™s student protests are bringing back the worst of 1960s-โ€˜70s police brutality and university intolerance for Free Speech along with McCarthy era firing, blacklisting and doxing of academics for the crime of criticizing the Israeli government, under bogus claims of antisemitism.

Palestinian hauliers said on Tuesday they feared for the security of aid convoys to Gaza, a day after Israeli protesters wrecked trucks carrying humanitarian supplies bound for the enclave, which is facing a severe hunger crisis.

Footage shows at least one burning truck while other images showed trucks wrecked and stripped of their loads, which lay strewn over the road near Tarqumiya checkpoint outside Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

The main United Nations agency that aids Palestinians, known as UNRWA, said on Thursday that it had temporarily closed its headquarters in East Jerusalem for the safety of its staff after parts of the compound were set on fire following weeks of attacks.

โ€œThis evening, Israeli residents set fire twice to the perimeter of the UNRWA Headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem,โ€ said the leader of the agency, Philippe Lazzarini, on social media.

Shireen Abu Akleh, the highly respected Al Jazeera correspondent, was shot dead by an Israeli soldier two years ago.

To this day, her niece, Lina Abu Akleh says she and her family have been unable to hold anyone accountable, and in the process theyโ€™ve witnessed the systematic killing of more journalists by the Israeli military in Gaza.

โ€œThe fact that there was no justice for Shireen has paved the way for the systematic targeting of journalists.โ€

500 Palestinian Bedouins became homeless overnight in Wadi al Khalil in the Negev desert as Israeli forces demolished their homes.

At least 50 homes owned by members of a Bedouin community in the Negev desert were torn down because they were branded as "illegal" by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

Bulldozers razed buildings Wadi al-Khalil, triggering anger and frustration among residents of the village of some 500 people.

Today in Labor History May 4, 1970: Ohio National Guards murdered four students at Kent State University. They also injured nine others, including one who was permanently paralyzed. During the massacre, they fired 67 rounds in 13 seconds at the unarmed crowd. The students were protesting the U.S. invasion of Cambodia. With the current wave of student protests against the Israeli genocide in Gaza, the governmentโ€™s response is looking sickeningly similar to its response to student protests in the early 70s: Violent repression, use of chemical agents, snipers on rooftops. If the vitriolic rhetoric of politicians and pundits continues, another student massacre seems imminent.
