In the last few weeks a number of lawsuits have been filed by Palestinian and Arab students who feel threatened and discriminated against on college campuses, but you wouldn’t know that if you watch CNN or Fox. This total indifference to what Muslim and Arab students and faculty…

I’m happy there are protests. The country is alive. The country is reacting and arguing. The country is looking for its conscience. It’s not perfect but it’s good.

Netanyahu asked Biden 'to help prevent the International Criminal Court from issuing arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials in connection with...Gaza.' A little late for that. Netanyahu should have heeded Biden and stopped bombing/starving civilians. axios.com/2024/04/29/net…

Republicans in Congress: We must fire university presidents, censor university campuses because these protests are out of control. Stand with Israel!

Israeli protesters: Setting things on fire in middle of the street to protest Netanyahu, carrying signs: BIDEN PLEASE SAVE US.

We don't know what the International Criminal Court prosecutor plans, but Netanyahu has good reason to fear war-crime charges for his starvation strategy in Gaza. I explain: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

After Biden accepted the International Criminal Court's use of territorial jurisdiction in Ukraine to prosecute Putin, it would be the height of hypocrisy if Biden objected to the ICC's use of territorial jurisdiction in Palestine to prosecute Netanyahu. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Jessica Seinfeld, wife of Jerry Seinfeld, just donated $5,000 (more than anyone else) to the GoFundMe of the pro-Israel UCLA rally.
At this rally, participants yelled “I hope they rape you” & spat on and used the N-word towards pro-Palestinian students.

This is both a. an incredibly brave display by a local elected, and b. the product of the advocacy and work of the students themselves. Incredible.

“‘Yes, it is a genocide,’ says an Israeli Holocaust scholar”

For Zeteo, I discussed Amos Goldberg’s scathing remarks, & quoted ⁦Alonso Gurmendi⁩ & ⁦Noura Erakat⁩ on the ex-ICC chief judge’s claim that the ICJ didn’t say there was a plausible genocide: zeteo.com/p/gaza-genocid…

I would estimate that at least 50% of the motivation for university presidents to call in the cops to bust up peaceful protests is to avoid being hauled before Congress to testify.

'Engaging police to deal with peaceful protests represents an escalation that is inimical to the exercise of free expression and to a learning environment, and further raises the risk of use of excessive force...'

.Gov. Greg Abbott is escalating the situation at UT Austin and putting Texas students and journalists in danger.

These young adults have a right to protest peacefully. DPS needs to be recalled before someone gets seriously injured. The Governor should respect the First Amendment.
