While you were having a coffee this morning and enjoying the day, this is what the Zionists did in Rafah.
Most of us support this indirectly through the taxes we pay and the support of our governments and by purchasing products from Multinational corporations that support this genocidal regime.

@geo3550 tracking activities in real time: https://t.co/LcBTNXhToU. and to be clear i am a scholar of protest/resistance/revolution and protest policing/state repression/human rights violation. if there was some repressive action taking place - overt or covert, i would be first on it!

[christian davenport @engagedscholar]

@geo3550 what is the containment and surveillance of which you speak? there are free speech zones and there are likely some members of the local police force on hand but at a distance. of the available repertoire of activities that could be used, michigan has been quite respectful.

@Snowden edward, where did you get the data on protests? christian

[christian davenport @engagedscholar]

[christian davenport @engagedscholar]

@AfricanHub_ best in which way? facilitated the biggest increase in caloric intake? least repressive? largest confiscation of land? biggest increase in educational test scores? least likely to engage in interstate violence? most likely to abide by the rule of law?

@ShibleyTelhami while these divestment initiatives are useful for signaling some sense of disapproval the empirical support for being an effective way for actually stopping violence does not exist. can these efforts now turn to trying to stop state-sponsored violence?
