New Means Being afraid does not mean you're under attack On those condemning anti-genocide protests, but not genocide JOSHUA P. HILL APR 22, 2024 D Share Almost three years ago, in May 2021, I found myself at an pro-Palestine protest in New York City. We were at the Israeli Consulate, thousands of people, rallying against the repeated attacks on the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah. In Palestine, protests were happening as well, folks resisting displacement and ethnic cleansing and the attempt to force Palestinians out of the neighborhood. That spring the call to action from the people of Sheikh Jarrah became a rallying cry heard around the world. In New York, we responded again and again. But this particular day, I got scared. I distinctly remember being on the corner opposite the consulate building, in a group of protesters chanting. As I've written about before, I grew up in a Jewish community generally saturated with Zionism. It was just a fact of life that our people had an inalienable right to live in what is now the state of Israel. By the time of this protest three years ago I had unlearned a good deal of that; I was certainly on the side waving Palestinian flags. But I learned, that day, that I hadn't unlearned everything.

GENOCIVE
Councilwoman Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC The NYPD confirms that 99% of arrests at NYU were indeed students, not 'outside agitators'. The sad reality is that our schools are producing monsters, and it's now our job to slay them. Simple as that. And the schools and faculty who sit at the top of this chaos must be razed along with them. They're not interested in solutions, as their literature makes crystal clear. It's going to be messy, but it's also going to be worth it. They're leaving us with no choice though. Time to make our educational institutions about education again.
