Minouche Shafik requests maintained NYPD presence on Columbia’s campus through at least May 17th. This administration would rather militarize its community than divest from the genocidal State of Israel.

To every professor who has expressed shock at the events of last night: if you do not take action to demand divestment and an end to police presence on campus by withholding your labor, you too are complicit. You must do more than make statements. You must strike.

Zionists have spent all day spreading lies about the United Nations “halving” the number of dead in Gaza; to them, the murders of 20,000 civilians, mostly children, is a cause to celebrate. Clearly, they are not above genocide denial.
