>The protests, which have been growing in size and intensity over the last week, were met with aggressive crackdowns from school administrators and police, as a wave of arrests, suspensions and canceled classes. Last week, officials at Columbia University called the cops to remove demonstrators who want the school to exit all investments that benefit the government of Israel amid the rising death toll in Gaza, which now stands at more than 34,000 according to local health officials. The war was sparked by the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel, in which militants killed around 1,200 people (mostly civilians), and took 250 hostages.
>Demonstrators have been setting up encampments which have swelled to hundreds of protesters who are demanding that their schools condemn Israel's assault on Gaza and divest from companies that sell weapons to Israel.
>Similar protests at Yale, MIT, and NYU, many of which occurred hours before the start of the Jewish holiday of Passover, have been met with crackdowns as well, as Jewish students say criticism of Israel and Zionism has turned into antisemitism that has made them feel unsafe, AP reports.
The naked face of Jewish ethnic affiliation is, like an eclipse, coming into view slowly but spectacularly. I would not go as far as declaring them the most important mobilization of the decade, but it is strong sentiment in the most favourable direction.

@PopulistRight Every political strategy develops into three phases: adoption, adoption by the enemy and then irrelevance or thrusting into further development. "Words are violence" became right-wing reverence for memetics ("words are power"), and now this is the phase of further development when right-wing memetics and left-wing political amoralism are amplifying one another, which will force the Establishment left's hand and the dissident's left pretentious detachment either into further authoritarianism, their modification on our our message or to retreat to hypocrisy pretending that concrete reality had been purposefully avoided.

@anonaccount The left is learning that "words are violence" is BS - now that it is being used on them. I saw Norman Finklestein (long time anti-Zionist Jew) explaining this at the Columbia protest.
This "words are violence" narrative, invented by Jews, has been very harmful to WN activism/awareness. Now that Jews are using that tactic purely for Jewish-Supremacy purposes, it has been shown for the crock that it is.
