As “violently” simplistic as this is, your history can be as labyrinthine as Hampton Court Maze - it still doesn’t justify murdering 14,500 children in 2024.

Its days pitting The Right Sort of People of Colour (literary, refined, adoring of White Male Canon) versus Wrong Sort (historical, political, globally engaged) are not over. It's not the hell it once was but a long long way to go. Smith is ofc their poster child for Right Sort.

In 2003, Evergreen State College student Rachel Corrie gave her life to protect a Palestinian home in Rafah that was going to be bulldozed by Israel. Her sacrifice has not been forgotten.

We applaud Evergreen for being the first US university to commit to divest from Israel.

[Lindsey Boylan @LindseyBoylan]

I cannot believe this needs to be said, but not wanting a bunch of defenseless kids to be blown up or starve to death has nothing to do with me being some kind of supporter of anything other than humanity.

I’m a supporter of not blowing up & starving kids. Anywhere. Ever.

[W. Kamau Bell @wkamaubell]

Okay, Mike. We get it. You want to be famous for being a racist. Fine. I’ll help you become a famous racist.

You’re welcome.

For the people upset with college protests:

[Aren LeBrun @arenrlebrun]

Turns out it was every single one. Ah well, nevertheless.

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

Tell me you're a racist in two words

[Walter Masterson @waltermasterson]

Oh my god so true.

Nobody has ever protested at a university ever.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

So, not only do we have to give Israel $17 billion of our money on top of $4 billion they get every year, but we have to shut up about it. Now if you protest Israel, you're called an antisemite, thrown out of school and arrested. Cancel culture on behalf of a foreign government.

[Walter Masterson @waltermasterson]

I can excuse genocide but I draw the line at destroying private property.

[Walter Masterson @waltermasterson]

If you’re outraged at the destruction of private property, Israel’s attack on Rafah is going to blow your mind.

[Walter Masterson @waltermasterson]

I agree with Jennifer Lawrence and I firmly stand with President Snow and the Capitol.

[Kristi Yamaguccimane @TheWapplehouse]

@atrupar Genuine question: when *am I* allowed to withhold my vote, if ever, from Democrats?

If the answer is never, because they’re one iota better on any random issue, then my engagement in politics ceases to exist because they hold my vote hostage since they don’t fear losing it.

[Existential Comics (find me on bluesky) @existentialcoms]

What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

"Supporting Palestine is about ending an illegal occupation + holding Israel accountable for violating international law. It is not about supporting the killing of Israeli civilians or the destruction of Israeli cities. Upholding international law means upholding it for everyone." https://t.co/UwAJaDfvV7

I’m as guilty as anyone of thinking of my @Columbia undergraduates as “kids.” But here is what I’ve seen them do in the last two weeks: (1/10)

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

I don't agree with every slogan of the protests on campus + elsewhere. Some I really dislike. But when people look back they will see this as the moment when a real debate began about university + govt complicity in the oppression of Palestinians. And the protests made it happen.
