It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her. https://t.co/QKNRqOoIiS pic.twitter.com/uYpXwKuc8D

Report from Emory: As police fired pepper balls at people’s faces & bodies, students courageously locked arms and moved in groups of 10-25 students even while choking and gagging on pepper spray, chanting “Don’t Panic, Stay Tight! We’re gonna be alright.”

It seems like the USA supports genocide and is labelling all protest as anti-Semitic – so the genocide operation is being brought home to roost. US is slipping to all out bipartisan fascism in defense of its genocide ops.
