It's ironic that ADL stands for Anti Defamation League when in fact it's an all out Defamation League.
"Through Greenblatt, the ADL has backed the McCarthyite repression of campus protests and pro-Palestinian campus speech, praising overreaching crackdowns by university administrators and the government"
Greenblatt is the character who called TikTok 'AlJazeera on steroids' and asked for it to be banned in the US.

"Israel’s ambassador to Senegal, Yuval Waks, was forced to leave a university campus in Dakar on Tuesday after students protested his presence and chanted pro-Palestinian slogans, according to footage circulating on social media"
"Videos shared online show students waving Palestinian flags and booing the newly appointed envoy, and preventing him from delivering his speech"
So he scarpered...only been in Senegal for 20 days

Whilst the US is busy installing an Al Qaeda 2.0 led "democracy" in what used to be known as Syria, the US is also busy repressing and criminalising students who demonstrate against genocide in Gaza, thus suppressing democracy at home ... makes sense.
Surveillance, retaliation or job losses affect not just students, but the entire university workforce if they join the protests or teach pro-Palestine content.

"In response to escalating demonstrations against Israel’s onslaught in Gaza, the City University of New York’s (CUNY) Board of Trustees authorized a $4 million contract with Strategic Security Corp. (SSC), a private security firm with connections to Israel" "This is one of many such examples.
"Private security firms have become something of an Israeli specialty" and they employ ex IDF military. Very unsavoury.

Christian Appy, professor at University of Massachusetts, arrested for standing in support of students pro-Palestine demonstrations, talks about the police brutality and the choices he had to make: "Am I willing to be arrested? Is it the right thing to do? Could it make a difference? Would there be negative consequences for my career?" Here's his analysis of Daniel Ellsberg's actions to fight the Vietnam war.

This is delicious. Suella Braverman fails spectacularly to engage with pro-Palestinian students at a camp.
I'd have been tempted to tell her to fuck right off, but the silence treatment is miles better 👍
For those who don't know who she is, I say: Lucky you!
She's one of the most fascist politicians in UK.

A top university in Belgium cuts ties with Israeli institutions

"Belgium’s University of Ghent has announced that it is severing ties with three Israeli educational and research institutions, citing misalignment with its human rights policy, according to the rectorate"
"The decision came amidst ongoing pro-Palestinian protests at the university against Israel's operations in Gaza,"

"...Israel’s attempted eradication of intellectual life in Gaza echoes far beyond the territory, with U.S. universities ensuring that some professors vocal in their support of Palestine can no longer do their jobs either"
Anita Levy, senior program officer with the American Association of University Professors: "We are at the dawn of a “new McCarthyism,” Levy said. “This may be the tip of the iceberg.”

"Rep. Ogles Introduces Bill To Send College Protesters To Gaza"
"The Tennessee congressman said he wouldn't expect protesters to 'last a day' in Gaza, suggesting he wants them to be killed"
The full text of the bill hasn’t been released, but the title says it would “require persons convicted of unlawful activity on the campus of an institution of higher education beginning on and after October 7, 2023, to provide community service in Gaza”

Momodou Taal, a second-year PhD student at Cornell:
“What has become abundantly clear is that pro-Palestinian speech isn’t glamorous. No one is losing their job for being pro-Israel, but you are losing your job for being pro-Palestine,”
“We’ve come to recognise that Cornell University is complicit in this genocide due to their divestment practices and partnerships."
There's a short clip of him talking. It's galvanizing.

There is a level of discomfort and cognitive dissonance that keeps growing in me working in HE while scholasticide and ecocide (yes, they are part of the genocide or ethnic cleansing) committed in Gaza for more than half a year, and the deafening silence of Western universities completely ignoring it.
I truly believed that if there is any place in the world when dialogue should and must always be a priority, is in academic fora. Dialogue is the foundation of #academia

"...Palantir CEO Alex Karp came right out and said that if those on the side of the protesters win the debate on this issue, the west will lose the ability to wage wars."

He really said this...

"Palantir is a CIA-backed surveillance and data mining tech company with intimate ties to both the US intelligence cartel and to Israel, "

The student protests asking to Boycott, Divest and Sanction Israel are freaking the Biden's administration and AIPAC/ADL out because BDS hurts. It was the main cause of the end of apartheid in South Africa. Therefore repression is brutal.

These are professors speaking out for the students.

Do you remember, back in 2022, when EU countries and the US were so eager to call out the Russian repression of dissent and protest? How they were inundating the media with words about free speech and people's rights, about democracy and the importance of public opinion?

The Netherlands: *Bulldozers* used to clear the student camp.
Putin: "Hold my vodka".
