This is why universities crack down so hard against Palestinian liberation organizing. Because it disrupts zionist capital flows; because, when one school does it, others will, too; because it proves public funds should be in education, not genocide

🚨BREAKING: At 9:30am, @CUNY students erected an encampment at @CityCollegeNY . CUNY is the largest public university in NYC, and, as its majority POC student body knows, police repression on campus is linked to genocide in Palestine; CCNY regularly cooperates with NYPD.

the target has always been to exterminate Palestinian life, period. there’s no “evacuating civilians.” we’ve been saying for years as israel bombs hospitals, targets schools, homes, pushes the people of Gaza to the very edge of the border and continues its campaign of genocide.
