@RogerLancaster@SamuelBiagetti@ucpress What an amazing review of what sounds like an amazing book. Thanks to you both. My partner and I both loved it. And now will read the book!
While our politicians, uni officials & critics are losing their sh*t about some kids in tents exercising free speech, this assault on 1.7 million Palestinians by one of the most technologically advanced & powerful US-supported militaries in the world is happening. Right Now.
If you want to criticize the encampments then fine. But do so by criticizing not dismissing. You must explain (1) why universities should NOT divest from the Israeli state and the US defense industries supporting it and (2) why Israel should NOT stop killing innocent people. 1/2
BREAKING NYC: Gaza solidarity, encampment established at the city College of New York in Harlem! Come to CCNY now to defend the students who are justly fighting for an end to the ongoing genocide and CUNY’s complicity in it.
@BL_Balthaser Ethninationalism is very different than organizing that uses identities to organize movements. I actually don’t find the word nationalism useful. Because it only takes on meaning in specific times/places.
@tsar18985 @kthalps Palestinians are from Palestine. The United States locks its borders against Mexicans, Central Americans, etc. I believe in open borders, but that's not the world we live in. I grew up with this bullshit but am now and ADULT. Grow the fuck up.
