It’s not complicated. The director of the World Food Program, Cindy McCain, says that parts of Gaza are experiencing a “full-blown famine” that is rapidly spreading. That is why students are protesting. That is why I voted against giving Netanyahu’s war machine any more U.S. aid.
To me, it is clear that Israel is violating international law and violating American law. And I don't know why anybody would give them billions of dollars more to continue that war.
WATCH: Noelle McAfee, Chair of Emory's Philosophy Department, sat down w/ me 24 hours after she was arrested, charged w/ disorderly conduct.
"I think that charge is totally bogus. Who is being disorderly here? The cops wrestling & pummeling somebody, or somebody standing there?"
Mr. Netanyahu, antisemitism is a vile and disgusting form of bigotry that has done unspeakable harm to millions.
Do not insult the intelligence of the American people by attempting to distract us from the immoral and illegal war policies of your extremist and racist government.
Jewish students @Columbia: “If we didn’t do everything in our power to end the genocidal violence Israel is unleashing upon Gaza, we would not have fulfilled the requirements of the Passover Seder.”
Watch/share this @CNN report on Passover at the Gaza solidarity encampment.
It literally shouldn't matter at all whether you agree with them or support their cause. These college protesters are passionate young people trying to do something to contribute to their world & its hardest realities. Their institutions owe them dialogue at least, not arrests.
BREAKING: Republican Donor Harlan Crow has been giving millions of dollars to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni Thomas for over 20 years, off the books, under the table.
ProPublica just discovered that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni Thomas secretly were provided with luxury vacations by Republican donor Harlan Crow. This included multiple flights on his private jet, cruises on a mega yacht and stays at Crow's private resort. Just about every single year the Thomas’ were provided with these extravagant gifts, without filing any financial disclosure or documents.
Just imaging Republican outrage if this was George Soros providing these gifts to a liberal Supreme Court Justice. Just imagine!
He's an utter fraud. Anyone who fell for his snake oil is a disgrace. The priority moving forward is to remove all of these people from positions of public trust & ensure anyone guilty of crimes is held accountable. That's the way the country moves forward, not forgetfulness.
