🚨BREAKING🚨 We just released an 83-page report 'MIT Science for Genocide' on how the Israeli military sponsors war research on campus. ZERO degrees of separation to génocidaires. This is immoral, illegal, and unpopular. MIT ARMS EMBARGO NOW! archive.org/details/mit-scie…

Brown University's divestment vote is scheduled for next month, and with the anniversary of the 7 October approaching, pro-Israel voices on campus are now stepping up pressure on the Corporation of Brown University to avoid the vote entirely pulse.ly/zvqp1xiqr8

On Monday, a group of student members of Brown Students for Israel are making the case in front of the Advisory Committee on University Resources Management that a vote on divestment is “functionally antisemitic” and “there is no genocide in Gaza” pulse.ly/sq1bzlg65y

4000 Brown alumni now calling for divestment: “…investing in companies that facilitate human rights abuses and environmental degradation…creates a cycle where the advancement of our alma mater is supported by the suffering and exclusion of others.”

On this mama’s day, do everything u can 2 protect Palestinian mothers. Israel kills two mamas every hour in #Gaza as part of its genocidal rampage & one element of its attempt to prevent Palestinian births & stem a Palestinian future. d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.ne… #MothersDay #Nakba

The ground invasion of Rafah is starting and now is (well past) the moment people in the imperial core have to really fucking step up, play our role and stop the machine from running by all possible means. What are we worth if we can’t? Gaza has no reason to forgive us.
All eyes on Rafah. They’re going to invade any minute now. We’ve reached the darkest point of the whole genocide. This is what they promised wouldn’t happen. It’s happening. I don’t have the words. The only “safe place” left in Gaza is going to be destroyed and invaded. Speak up.

Some tenured faculty members at @BrownUniversity are being threatened with vague disciplinary action after having visited the encampments. They received this email from the Dean of Faculty. I’ve confirmed at least 2, but there are at least 2 more I am hearing about beyond that.

It’s worth reminding those critical of the student protests raging across the US: Gaza no longer has universities. Every single university in Gaza has been bombed into oblivion. Hundreds of academics, scholars, professors, & students have been killed since Oct. 7. #scholasticide

“Rafi Ash, a sophomore from Amherst, Mass., and a member of Brown University Jews for Ceasefire Now, said the student protesters were in it for the long term. ‘We’ll be here until they divest, or until we’re forced off,’ he said.”
