Student protests and encampments around the US and, increasingly, outside of it, have shown a lot.
Or, rather, they have revealed a lot.
From the rise of Fascism in the US that’s aimed at protecting a Fascist regime in Israel, to how some members of our societies can be angered by peaceful protests but not by daily mass murder in Gaza.
This is what my episode is about. It is a short episode with several comments, connecting the dots that, honestly, aren’t even that far away from each other.
One of the comments is on what forces and what groups are indeed making Jewish students physically unsafe on their campuses:
I want to leave you with a speech posted by the Aotearoa Liberation League that will be definitely worth your time. I think it is accurate, as bold as the situation demands it, and as honest as so many of us would like it to be.
Listen to students.
Listen to brave faculty members.
And in the end, listen to your conscience.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️
