The MIT coalition for Palestine have detailed documentation of research projects directly funded by the Israeli Military:

"Since 2015, MIT has received over $11 million in authorized research funding from the Ministry of Defense of Israel"

BREAKING; Head injuries & blood drawn as riot police beat students at Palestine solidarity camp

The university of Amsterdam called riot police on campus who have begun violently evicting the encampment in solidarity with Palestine. Many head injuries have been reported so far with students left bleeding on the ground after being beaten with batons by police, on their campus where they usually come to study. Jewish students are among the beaten and arrested; especially ironic since the UVA claims that they invite police on campus to protest their Jewish students. The violence is not new; but it is escalating with every new student protest.

I fixed this:

You know when you're dying from dehydration, but they only have toxic tap water from Flint? You drink it cause you sure don't want salt water. That's voting Blue.

Me, I'm looking for my community to occupy a Walmart and show up with jugs of spring water.

Incredible historical document here: Blinken says Israel’s PR is failing because social media allows people a direct look at what’s happening, shorn of the ability to mediate it, and it lands with emotional resonance. Romney then says yes, that’s why we moved to ban TikTok

[Tarik Endale | ታሪክ እንዳለ @Tarik_Endale]

Among other strong emotions, many students have expressed a profound feeling of loss for the deep sense of community and collective care that is rarely experienced in most of our lives in America but was the norm in the encampment.

- Student protesters at GW University hang a Palestinian flag
- College not only cuts it down, but then trolls them by hanging a HUGE American flag in full view of their encampment.
- Students make art with it

Oh...oh dear.

The NYPD has found...the @OUPAcademic Oxford Very Short Introduction series.

I wonder if he thinks the Antisemitism is also a how-to book.

[B. Traven's Ghost on the Portland Pleasure Boat @inscend]

Where did the protesters get that literature!?!? There MUST be an invisible hand behind this. Have you met the instantaneous global communication network where we share cat videos? No, wait, before that we had xerox machines... nah, wait back up - I blame Johannes Gutenberg!

[Oliya Scootercaster 🛴 @ScooterCasterNY]

"Somebody is radicalizing out students" Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz spoke after NYU and New School raid this morning, "we will find out who that is". Chief of Patrol John Chell showed literature found inside the New School 'Gaza Solidarity Encampment' after it was sweeped, that reads: "Death to Israeli Real Estate, Death to America! Unschool!"

This is parody, right. Please someone tell me this is parody.

@Phil_Lewis_ It’s funny that nobody is telling the kids who are jeering that they’re risking their future employment prospects…..

IDF vet lending help to terrorists @UCLA

He seems like a real fuck, but nothing unusual here...

Israeli & US police have traded their favorite ways of cracking skulls, using surveillance tech, and terrorizing their respective civilians - in official exchanges - for 2 decades.

[Aaron Cohen Official @aacohenofficial]

Ran a quiet infiltration operation into the UCLA encampment and now down here with LASD who’s staging now and preparing to make entry onto the to begin taking down the pro terror antisemitic encampment. Also had a good chat and deep dive with @drphil who came down for a debrief which I’ll share soon.

"This script recurs again and again in moments when Israel faces increased international criticism for its violence against Palestinian people. Like other moral panics, this one is a sign of a crisis—in this case, the crisis of Zionism, but also US imperialism more broadly"

Oh but this whole country is full of lies
You're all gonna die and die like flies
I don't trust you any more
You keep on saying "Go slow!"

The idea that it matters whether everyone arrested is a student at a particular campus (vast majority are) is a distraction from a genocide. But the thread below (by NYT reporter criticizing and quote tweeting NYT bureau chief) shows how depraved the official propaganda is.

"What does a 21st century abolitionist Maine look like? Freedom & Captivity invited Mainers to suggest words that capture their vision of abolition... Join us in imagining a different, and better, future."
