12 Arrested Outside NYC's New School as First Faculty-Led Gaza Solidarity Encampment Continues

Support our work: www.democracynow.org/donate?c...
​​The first faculty-led Gaza solidarity encampment in the United States was launched Wednesday at The New School in New York City, where nearly two dozen professors and lecturers pitched tents inside the lobby of the university's main building on Fifth Avenue. The encampment is named after the Palestinian writer, poet and professor Refaat Alareer, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza in December. The faculty protest began after the police raided a student encampment at The New School and arrested more than 40 students following a request by the university administration to clear the encampment. On Thursday, 12 more people were arrested outside The New School as the faculty encampment continued inside. Democracy Now! was on the scene and spoke with protesting faculty who denounced the school's ties to Israel and the militarized police response against student protesters. "For the state violence that our students were subjected to and traumatized because of, we could not stand on the sidelines any longer," part-time lecturer Suneil Sanzgiri said. "What we're doing here is calling for all faculty across the country to step up, to risk more and to escalate, because we have to get all war profiteers out of our universities."

For example : 1) No one here knows that Hamas leaders have RECORDED THEMSELVES publically calling for the death of ALL Jews around the world for YEARS (Do not take my word for it. Go watch the videos yourself). 2) The reason why ALL Arab countries REFUSE to accept Palestinian refugees is because Palestinian terrorist groups tried to over throw the governments in Jordan (the Black September War of 1970 which saw 26,000 people killed), the Second Lebanon Civil War (which the Palestinian Liberation Army started, and THAT is why they were forced out of Lebanon), and Hamas working with the Muslom Brotherhood to overthrow the Egyptian government. Even Egypt who shares a border with Gaza won't even allow in injured women and children into Egypt. Again STOP believing these LIES from the pro-Hamas media. 3) Hamas killed HUNDREDS of Palestinians when it took over the Gaza Strip in 2005. 4) They are NOT telling us that Hamas has a policy of kidnapping and torturing gays in Gaza. 5) They are NOT telling us that its HAMAS who has been DEMANDING a war with Israel for YEARS and has been firing rockets at Israeli women and children for DECADES now. (Go look it up yourself . There is a reason why Israel has the most advanced anti-rocket system in the world. Did you ever stop to ask yourself WHY?!) 6)And they are NOT showing us the HAMAS videos showing Hamas firing rockets from next to schools and residential areas, even though they KNEW that Palestinian children would die when Israel struck back. Hamas is PURE EVIL. Hamas has finally got the war they have been BEGGING for for YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS. And its the Palestinians who are suffering for it.

The female cop is literally sexually assaulting Medea, groping her over and over and over again in the hallways of Congress in view of everybody. This is done on purpose to humiliate these people and try to silence them. Many US police, including NYPD departments have been going over to Israel since 2002 to train with the Israeli National Police. They are very strongly aligned with the Zionist Israel gov't as a result. The Anti-Defamation League and other pro-Israel organizations pay their airfare and all their expenses for them to go over there and train with the Israeli cops

THEY NOT LIKE US.

[@shahlachoudhry5999]

I agreed 💯 they are spotter of Israel

[@Disentropic1]

Flaunting their criminality.

[@ruthbarrett4527]

Students and Faculty power to you in this righteous effort. The police brutality and unwarranted harassment has to STOP! Are they Nazis?? Were they given specific instruction to treat people.this way bc they are protesting? Despicable disgusting behavior by these cops. Free Palestine ❤🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

[@auntiebobbolink]

Where do they need "special instructions"? This is the way they treat everyone they consider beneath them. Poor people, unhoused people, people with skin pigment. Anyone.

[@stoptheviolence3358]

At what point do the cops ask themselves “ why are we arresting non violent protestors “

[@mosaicsanctuary3]

These are hysterical, unpredictable hamas chanting protests. What’s your problem?!

[@MichaelHolloway]

excellent reporting Amy, thank you

[@emiliobello2538]

Not all of what people say for Palestine is hate speech

[@JD-ve6kn]

practically none of it is hate speech

[@Dhi_Bee]

Including “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free” which is NOT hate speech despite what brainwashed z10s may think

[@gsacki2010]

We appreciate your work, Amy!

[@muddin4950]

Faculty standing up against Genocide.

[@robbybergers3997]

It's really telling that a cop sexually assaulting a person they wrongfully arrested is just a footnote in the larger event taking place.

[@publicpm8809]

My Salute to every single person standing for truth and Justice for the innocent people.

[@olivia7026]

[@TheRecordLibrary]

As always, Salute Amy and DN!!! This is crucial coverage.

[@Bavafa1]

Utmost respect for these faculty and students who are standing against this genocide and for peace and humanity.

[@Hafsa-gf8vk]

American people need to stand up to protect their freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. We have to support independent media outlets that report the truth like this one. America is the shining star an example of freedom across the globe, it is not befitting for our institutions and government to ban freefom of speech .
