     "I'm here to say, they don’t get to use us as a tool. Not in our name! Thank you all for being here tonight, showing up to support the protestors."

     A Jewish undergrad from Northeastern: “I want to reiterate why we are here... It has been over 200 days of genocide in Gaza. Over 30,000 people have been killed & there has yet to be progress made toward a lasting ceasefire. Every action we do, including this, is to end this violence.”

     “We built a beautiful liberation zone, filled w/ students & faculty from all backgrounds, many Jewish. Together we made art & music, called for peace & expressed our demands… disclose, divest + denounce financial & scientific/research ties to Israel, and drop the charges."

     Students are sharing about the false charge of antisemitism, how footage revealed the hateful words used to justify arrests came from pro-Israel counter-protestors. The encampments have been places of community & commitment to justice: a reflection of the world we want to see.

     We continue to mark Passover & uphold a vision of collective liberation. We support the student encampments not in spite of our Judaism but because of it. We know Jewish safety requires Palestinian safety & Palestinian liberation. Watch live on our Instagram: https://instagram.com/ifnotnowboston/
