Fear is widespread on American campuses, researcher says
Students are “observing acts of physical violence and intimidation right in front of them. Jewish students are seeing Jewish buildings attacked. Muslim students are seeing people ... counterattack against Muslims. The students that are not Jewish and not Muslim, they’re just seeing everybody getting ... attacked.”

Columbia University president says negotiations with pro-Palestinian protesters have stalled, school will not divest from Israel.
NBC News reports: "Columbia was the first elite institution [in the U.S.] struck by protests in support of the Palestinian cause, with students demanding that the school divest from investments in weapons manufacturing and that support Israel amid the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war, in which more than 34,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip. Protests spread quickly last week on campuses from coast to coast, resulting in mass arrests and crackdowns."

Columbia University president says negotiations with protesters have stalled, school will not divest from Israel
Columbia University’s president said Monday that talks with student organizers had failed to reach an agreement, and that the university will not divest from Israel — a demand that has sparked protests on college campuses across the country.Marlene Lenthang (NBC News)
The International courts have called Israel to court several times over human rights violations and acts of terrorism (including using children as shields). They have never showed. This alone is enough for me to support his arrest as a war criminal.
inb4: The international court has also called HAMAS to court, and they should be held guilty for their violations as well.

World Central Kitchen to resume aid in Gaza following fatal airstrike
The aid organisation had stopped distributing food in Gaza after an Israeli strike killed seven workers.By Andre Rhoden-Paul (BBC News)
#Concordia and #McGill University students in Montreal, Canada have began an encampment at the McGill campus to demand the universities divest from #Israel and an end to the genocide in #Palestine. MP Anthony Housefather has already called for university administrators to clamp down hard on students who participate in #FreePalestine solidarity events, and faculty who support them.
He also called for more money for policing. All this in defense not of Canadians but of a foreign apartheid regime.
"But all these claims have served a purpose. They keep western publics focused on evil humanitarian aid workers and evil anti-war protesters rather than the kind of evil that dares in broad daylight to kill 15,000 children, destroy hospitals, and hide bodies in mass graves.

How an ‘antisemitism hoax' drowned out the discovery of mass graves in Gaza
In confecting a media row about the policing of London marches against genocide, the Israel lobby knew it would score a victory, whatever happenedJonathan Cook
It adds up to profound questions over what it means to be a young Jew in America in 2024. For some, the overriding feeling is one of fear and pain. Others have joined with the protesters, seeing the opposition to the war in Gaza as an opportunity to live out Jewish values taught growing up about justice and the value of human life. And many others are conflicted, seeing nuance when it feels like so many around them see black and white.
Good morning. Spare a thought today for the children of Gaza, who anxiously await Israel's ground invasion.
In this heartbreaking film from Al Jazeera's Close Up team, one small girl says:

🤷🏻♀️ It’s very easy when you do not want to be part of an academic elite, stop with your study and leave the university
But don’t behave like an asshole in your effort to force others your opinion at the territory of the university
Students should have a better memory 🤦🏻♀️
It is well known that Hamas and Palestinians who support Hamas' goal is to kill every Israeli

"To sustain this level of blind support for Israel, the U.S. must erode its own democracy," said one foreign policy expert. "And that is what we see happening on U.S. campuses now."julia-conley (Common Dreams)
"I've just returned from the London Book Fair, which is one of the most important annual events in our industry," says Ziv Lewis, the acquisitions editor at Kinneret Zmora-Bitan Dvir publishing house. "I arrive at every fair with a book or two of ours, and try to sell the translation rights internationally. This time I didn't even try. Based on what I gathered and heard, there has never been a worse time for Israeli art. There's no open door and no desire to listen."
"Overall, we are pretty much like Russia now, only it isn't official yet with us. That may actually be worse, because if it were official, at least we'd be able to fight it," says Adar Shafran ("Running on Sand"), the director and head of the Israeli Producers Association. "When they want to submit a film to a festival, the Russians are told in advance not to do so. We aren't told that – our films simply aren't accepted."

😂🙄 So that’s interesting 🤔 you claim that what the Hamas terrorist did on October 7 inside Israel was just some fantasy and it didn’t take place 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
With such believe it seems that you have no brains at all 🤷🏻♀️ But be careful and don’t start to tell this nonsense loudly around because people think you need desperately a psychiatrist 🤦🏻♀️
Or you are just a dangerous Russian troll who is determined to destroy the Western democracy 🙄
@jeremy_pm
I never comment on something when I’m not familiar with the subject 🤷🏻♀️
Again with your latest comment you take just a small part from history 🤦🏻♀️
In fact to speak with your words: The indigenous Jews people have endured a many centuries long suffering as they were already the original inhabitants in the tenth century BC
And Jews are still suffering because they are surrounded with people who want to see them all killed 🤷🏻♀️ It’s not a pleasant feeling
😂 🙄 I knew you are not interested in the history 🤦🏻♀️
You like to put up smoke screens and if there is someone who exposes you, you suddenly show your true hatred as a real genuine Jew hater
🤷🏻♀️ You are probably a Muslim who has sworn death to all Jews and non-Muslims in this world
I feel sorry for people who are so narrow-minded as you are
Continue this conversation is useless so I wish you a respectful day.

On Wednesday evening, students at Sciences Po Paris established the first university encampment for Palestine in France, before being forcibly removed by riot police. The students promise the movement will continue.
Here are so-called "protesters" in Manhattan last week, with a Hezbollah flag and a Hamas headband.
Everyone who's saying "peaceful protesters!" and "it's not #antisemitism!" needs to STFU for a minute.
Hamas and Hezbollah are antisemitic terrorist groups. In 1994, Hezbollah drove a car bomb into a Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, killing 85 people and wounding 300 more.
If you think killing every Jew in the world is "resistance," you're a sick piece of shit.
I could be wrong of course 🤷🏻♀️ but this remark sounds like influenced by Hamas propaganda support by Russia and China
Feel free to vote for Trump 😂 You ruin your own future 🤦🏻♀️ just because you like to fight for a terrorist group who likes to kill every non-Muslim
I see just naivety caused by propaganda under #Hamas supporters
Hamas kills the most #Palestinians for propaganda purposes

This half hour report (with transcript) is a pretty good condensation of where things are in North Gaza with the discovery of mass graves - 3 sites with a total of about 700 bodies found at the time of the report.
The call for a no-fly zone is such a "no shit" moment but it's way past overdue.
