"Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor Disclosed On Tuesday That It Had Received Testimonies Indicating

Not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing (drift compatible)

An alien called and told me I had to pay my taxes with starbucks gift cards or the IRS would take away my driver's license.

I told it that first of all, that's ridiculous, second, I'm a Canadian, and third, I don't drive.

The alien apologized and said it couldn't help itself... it's a silly-con-based life form.

All of these will help you interpret and confront the realities of colonisation, and ideally help us understand and extend solidarity to comrades around the globe. Decolonise your mind, and don’t stop there!

Columbia University students took over Hamilton Hall after the University’s refusal to divest from the State of Israel and complicity in the Genocide. Students have renamed Hamilton Hall to “Hind’s Hall” honouring 6 year old Hind Rajab, who was killed by the Israeli Defence Forces (IOF) after being the sole survivor of Israeli tank fire on the vehicle her family, of 6 other relatives, had fled in. Satellite imagery showed 3 tanks present in the area, countering the State of Israel’s claim that there was no military presence in the area at the time— the Washington Post later confirmed the satellite imagery and subsequent presence of Israeli tanks, disproving Israel’s claims. More on Hind Rajab here.

This occupation of Hind’s Hall (FKA Hamilton Hall) is reminiscent of Columbia’s history of student organisation, demonstrating and protesting— from rejecting the Vietnam War, to protesting War on Iraq. From AP: “When you’re going to Columbia, you know you’re going to an institution which has an honored place in the history of American protest,” said Mark Naison, professor of history and African & African American Studies at Fordham University and himself a participant in the 1968 demonstrations. “Whenever there is a movement, you know Columbia is going to be right there.”

Columbia University, and every student everywhere currently participating in encampment protests, you are apart of the future. Thank you for standing so strongly against injustice and inhumanity. Anti-Zionist Jews around the world stand with you.
