Pro-Israel billionaires urged New York crackdown on Gaza protests
A handful of powerful businessmen pushed New York City Mayor Eric Adams to use police to crack down on pro-Palestinian student protesters at Columbia University, donating to the politician and offering to pay for private investigators to help break up the demonstrations, the Washington Post has reported, based on leaked WhatsApp conversations.
"I take out $50,000 in student loans every single year, and it sucks. I have to work 20 hours a week to pay off the interest. I hate sitting here knowing I’m working my ass off only so my money can go to supporting genocide."
Es würde helfen, zu unterscheiden, was wahre Proteste im Sinne der Gesellschaft sind oder konzertierte Aktionen terroristischer Organisationen.
Lies doch mal, was Audrey Kurth Cronin oder hier Dalia Ziada schreiben. Erhebe dich über die Situation und betrachte es einmal von der Ferne, mit Abstand.
Eine Protestszene mit einer Person, die eine palästinensische Flagge im Vordergrund hält, und einer Betonstruktur mit dem Graffiti "JOE BIDEN KILLS KIDS". Im Hintergrund ist eine Menschenmenge zu sehen, einige halten Fahnen, #FreePalestine#ColumbiaUniversity#GWU 8E# #Hamas#Israel#Gaza La# öjc# #ampsPot JOE BIDEN
Perhaps the most false of flags I've ever witnessed. Sad and obvious.
Take your rolling demands and #GTFO
Protesters left a pro-Palestinian encampment at the University of Southern California early Sunday after they were surrounded by police and told they could face arrest if they didn’t go.
I hope the #hostages are released soon in the face of student protesters around the world entirely ignoring the #hostage#negotiation in favor of self interest and extracting demands in line with #hamas
A real missed opportunity by the next generation of student #leadership.
Pfffft, someone parroting Zionist talking points didn't like having facts thrown at them and figured misgendering me was the move to make.
Anyways, you'll notice a ton of Christian Zionists are also TERFs. Hell, when you see folks talk about eliminationism in either group, the similarities are astounding.
Just one more reminder for trans folks too that we're all fighting the same struggle and should stand together!
You'd better realize disability justice, Palestinian liberation, and SO many more causes are all tied together in this one movement and show solidarity.
Without the Black Panthers, we disabled people would not have succeeded in this occupation of a federal building.
These same people also called for the liberation of Palestinians. From a press conference in 1970, “We support the Palestinian’s just struggle for liberation one hundred percent. We will go on doing this, and we would like for all of the progressive people of the world to join in our ranks in order to make a world in which all people can live."
Even back then, people claimed these Black folks were "racists in reverse" and called them antisemitic. This pattern would continue to be used to silence people. Hell, remember when the BLM movement came under fire for its support of Palestine while Palestinians painted murals of George Floyd?
When you come to realize Black people have higher rates of Disability than the white population because of garbage our police state puts them through, you should start to get it. We ALL must fight against colonizers across the world.
P.S. Let's not forget when Netanyahu himself sent cops to beat and arrest disabled protestors in Israel who were occupying roads, buildings, and even set up a one week encampment at one point, to fight for basic disability rights from 2017 to 2019.
Oh wait, did you never hear of the Disabled Panthers movement in Israel? Wonder why that got hushed up! Anyways, did you know the NYPD trains with the IDF? Who gave them the idea to beat folks occupying buildings and starting encampments do ya think, was it the guy calling for cops to be even more brutal to protestors this very week?
In all seriousness, all of these movements are the same movement in the end. We all want liberation, justice, and fair treatment. We're all tired of fascist police states taking that from us. Remember the 3.5% rule and let us all be a part of those numbers together to liberate the world!
TikTok CEO #ShouZiChew has said the company will take the fight against the new law to the courts, but some experts believe that for the #US#SupremeCourt, national security considerations could outweigh #FreeSpeech protection.
