In a way, the black-and-white Palestinian scarf draped over Hannah Sattler’s shoulders this week and the tie-dyed T-shirts of 1968 are woven from a common thread. Like so many college students across the country protesting the Israel-Hamas war, Sattler feels the historic weight of the anti-Vietnam war demonstrations of the 1960s and 70s. “They always talked about the ’68 protest as sort of a North Star,” Sattler, 27, a graduate student of international human rights policy at Columbia University, said of the campus organizers there.
I love that the pictures I keep seeing come out of these protests are just young nerdy kids. I’d prefer they weren’t being manhandled by fucking commandoes, but the imagery really conveys the reality vs. the “outside agitators” narrative.
Calling obese poorly trained uneducated cops “commandos” is very generous of you.
