I urge you to read every word of this sizzling speech by Nick Riemer

Albanese talks about students needing to “feel safe” at university. Totally agree.
EVERY university in Gaza is now rubble. No student is safe. Many are dead, dying or disabled. Hence uni encampments. War crimes are more than feelings. But I guess that’s not an easy photo op?

Cast your vote!

The journos I see writing about violence against women are the same journos who cheerled an intervention into NT based on confected concerns around safety of black women and children

Can you please like this tweet if you see it?

don’t really see anyone talking about this but: arrestees at CUNY were charged with *felonies* while arrestees at Columbia were charged with misdemeanors. nobody should be charged with anything but it is a travesty that poorer & racialized students bear the brunt of this struggle

So many NTEU University of Sydney members out to supportthe Gaza solidarity encampment this morning. Many more not in the photo. Our members know that Palestine justice is union business.

Inbox: Pomona College faculty vote in favor of divestment from Israel. They’re asking the college to begin w/ removing direct investments in the 11 firms widely identified by Palestinian civic organizations including Barclays, CAF, Chevron, Elbit Systems Ltd., HD Hyundai, Volvo.

University of Sydney support rally

Mass turnout, dwarfing zionist counter rally snubbed to far end of campus

Divest from academic military ties, build the resistance against Australian institutional complicity with the Gazan Genocide

Proud and honoured to be part of a Centre that actually walks the talk. ✊🏽

Huge show of support for Palestine, Gaza and the Palestine solidarity movement at University of Sydney this morning while Zionists conduct their cynical 'march for a safe campus'. Real safety means thriving communities. That and genocide just don't mix.

'Israeli archaeologists have for decades participated in an unscientific and very explicitly political project of removing and destroying evidence of not only Palestinian, but Arab and Muslim history across historic Palestine...' - Maya Wind

I’m disturbed by footage of a Gaza encampment being attacked at Monash Uni last night.

I call on the PM to join me in backing peaceful protest and condemning the attacks.

Israel killed Dr Adnan Bursh, head of orthopedic surgery at Shifa in prison. Taken hostage from Al Awda Hospital. Tortured to death by Israeli army in their secret detension sites. He was a great surgeon, full of life. Trained at King's College Hospital.
