Call for Statements of Unity in Defense of Sahar Aziz and Rutgers Students for Justice in Palestine in Response to US House Committee Investigation
The US House Committee on Education and the Work Force has sent an investigative letter to Rutgers University asking for information and data and specifically targeting Sahar Aziz, a Rutgers Camden highly esteemed law professor and the Rutgers Students for Justice in Palestine, an officially recognized student organization. The committee is supposedly investigating “anti-Semitism” but it seems more interested in tracking down opponents to the weapons that nearly every member of this House committee votes to send to Israel in support of genocide. They define opposing their votes for weapons to Israel as anti-Semitism and are weaponizing the issue of anti-Semitism to go after opponents of the policies they support. Coincidentally those policies enrich weapons manufacturers and most of these committee members are supported by campaign contributions from Israel supporting and armaments supporting PACs.
Notably sitting on the committee smearing Students for Justice in Palestine is NJ District 1 (D) US Congressman Donald “Boss” Norcross – reputed one of the top powerful bosses of the NJ Democratic Party. He has faced numerous protests as a top supporter of NJ Congress members for sending weapons to Israel and an opponent of immediate and permanent cease fire. On at least one occasion, police got physical with opponents of his policies at a public meeting. FightBackBetter is looking further into what exactly is Boss Norcross’s role in this smear effort.
While the affected parties targeted by this smear circle their wagons and consult for legal and other advice – advocates need to firm up our support. We need to show unity with Sahar Aziz and Rutgers Students for Justice in Palestine. The first step is to speak out publicly in support of Sahar Aziz and Rutgers Students for Justice in Palestine and to express readiness to act upon our words and to get their backs. This attack is only the escalation of a relentless onslaught. The good news is the supporters of genocide are getting nervous because our nascent uprising strengthens daily. The bad news is they are taking actions that have the potential to harm people’s lives and these could be also part of a repressive wave that could include physical repression. We are beginning to see the “genocide light” coming home to haunt our very own streets in the USA.
Fight Back Better is a forum for the statements but wherever you feel comfortable making your statements go ahead.
