still finding it really funny that al sharpton who encouraged people to attack any jew over a car accident, is now saying protesting israel is an antisemitic j6 style attack

�antisemitic� completely and fully just means anti israel now. The government is very close to officially saying so. And, that is how it is already used in media and politics. we�re going to need a new word to encompass �hatred of Jewish people�

Can someone give me the wrap with what happened with the Palestinian flag going up then some chuds coming in and putting the American flag up, or whatever the situation was with that. Preferably with a couple of links, I have a co-worker who insists that taking the American flag down was his last straw and I would like to make him look poorly.

Portland police made their move on Refaat Al-Areer Memorial Library at 6AM - or tried to. It took them three hours to breach where the protestors were, and in that time dozens of people gathered outside to distract them. The people inside busted out the front and scattered across the park to freedom. Single-digit number of arrests and people are currently blocking the vans from leaving.

Long live Refaat Al-Areer Memorial Library.

Protesters have demands including divestment and cutting off ties with Israel. But ending relations with Israel doesn�t help Gazans, and, on the contrary, it�s useful for universities to have exchanges with a broad range of places, including those whose policies we disagree with.

Meanwhile, divestment won�t hurt Netanyahu or help Gazans � but it may mean lower returns for endowments. So do students favor higher tuition to cover this, or less student aid for marginalized students? And if universities divest all financial instruments linked to Israel, does that mean they must also sell all their United States Treasury bonds, since the U.S. government sends aid to Israel.

Finally, let me offer two concrete suggestions for how we can meaningfully help Palestinians that don�t involve occupying campuses, getting kicked out of college and risking the prolongation of the war.

First, raise funds for organizations actively helping Gazans, like Save the Children, Gisha or International Rescue Committee. That may seem discouragingly modest but it will help real people in desperate need.

Second, this may sound zany, but how about raising money to send as many of your student leaders as possible this summer to live in the West Bank and learn from Palestinians there (while engaging with Israelis on the way in or out)? West Bank monitors say that a recent Israeli crackdown on foreigners helping Palestinians, by denying entry or deporting people, has made this more difficult but not impossible.

BillsPhoenix posted:

There were a lot of good points in response to my disparaging comments about the feckless nature of the protests. I've reconsidered.

Unlike many of the national ones, the local university is already divested from Israel. Once this was brought up, most of the protestors left.

What could they do instead? Align their demands with another student protest or school? Demand the state divest?

Are they divested from the MIC, prisons and other plainly evil businesses?

Divestment is good in and of itself but pressuring others to divest (start with pensions funds where they still exist, for example) is an added bonus.

Some managers are brutal in the way they house workers in firetraps, expose children to dangerous chemicals, deny bathroom breaks, demand sexual favors, force people to work double shifts or dismiss anyone who tries to organize a union. Agitation for improved safety conditions can be helpful, just as it was in 19th-century Europe. But Asian workers would be aghast at the idea of American consumers boycotting certain toys or clothing in protest. The simplest way to help the poorest Asians would be to buy more from sweatshops, not less.
