In many students’ eyes, the war in Gaza is linked to other issues, such as policing, mistreatment of Indigenous people, racism and the impact of climate change.
Yeah. I want students, faculty everywhere to bring that energy to fight for every cause be it veganism, class struggle, labour, etc.
The main thing though is that people can’t lose sight of the goal. The police response to campus protests brings to the forefront the lopsided treatment of any dissent toward the genocide, no matter how peaceful the dissent is. It brings to national attention that these protests aren’t anti-Semitic in the slightest, yet they are repeatedly characterized as violent terrorism.
Just like in class solidarity, some detractors are purposefully trying to unfocus the narrative by saying “well how about this cause? Don’tcha care about that?” They do this since dividing and conquering is a powerful method to steal power from the masses. Don’t fall for it. Keep the target on de-funding the army that is commiting the Gaza genocide.
