At around 9:45 pm on this night April 23 Columbia President has sent an e-mail to the students suggesting a midnight – this midnight – deadline for a decision to end the Columbia Gaza Encampment – to “clear the lawn”. In addition to the encampment there is a large contingent of protesters outside the campus at the gates. We are on the cusp of a potential dangerous and potentially life threatening attack on the students! There is currently a larger police mobilization – outside the campus at this minute – 11:14pm.
As of 12:03 am- there was a call and response announcement from the lawn was moved to 8am. This is a temporary win for our side!
As of 8 am this morning 4/24 – Columbia has announced a 48 hour extension – so the De-Occupy continues – they have not cleared the lawn!
Across the country students are taking over parcels of campus lawns to protest the outright complicity of their Universities with the US – Israel Genocidal War Machine. This tremendous development is a beauty to see so many of American youth uniting across faith, race, national origin and ideological background to call for an end to US / Israel genocide.
It is also an ominous moment as at campus after campus administrations are SWAT-ing their own student bodies – calling in heavily armed platoons of riot cops and sending them after their own tuition paying students.
As every university in Gaza has been destroyed the forces of genocide are now similarly adjusting their targets on universities in the United States. There is a vast overwhelming mechanism in motion churning toward an ominous disaster that could mimic the Kent State and Jackson State massacres of May 1970.
We all across NJ and indeed across the nation and around the world need to get ready to defend the youth of the US from the state violence that is beginning to be wielded.
All USA Armed Forces and Police Forces Hands Off USA Universities – Across The USA!
WE MUST MOBILIZE TO DEFEND THOSE WHO ARE ON THE FRONT LINES IN A SHOW DOWN TO END GENOCIDE!
NO NEW KENT / JACKSON STATES!
We will need to surround those universities that are under attack and line the public roads of those schools like Rutgers that have public roads if need be.
NO NEW KENT STATE MASSACRE!
