Columbia paid $395,000 in settlement after suspending Jewish student for using ‘skunk spray’

Back in January, two Israeli students sprayed pro-Palestine protesters at Columbia University with an unknown substance that later turned out to be "skunk spray" (used often by IDF against Palestinian farmers and villages in occupied west bank). They were suspended for 18 months.

Now it comes out that Columbia has paid one of those students $395,000 for being “excessively and disproportionately disciplined.”

Surely it's just a matter of time before all those egregiously suspended and expelled pro-Palestine students get their checks too, right?

I'm sure none of my American friends have heard about this.

It's not like they were Muslims or citizens of Iran or other Muslim countries, because THAT would have been on the news 24/7 and tomahawk missiles would already reaching Tehran and other locations already.

Not a word about the attackers being (former) IDF soldiers.

At Columbia, Student Protesters Say They Were Attacked With Chemicals

After pro-Palestinian students said they had been sprayed with a foul-smelling substance during a demonstration, the university began an investigation and barred those accused from campus.

Columbia University and the Police Department are investigating reports that pro-Palestinian student demonstrators were sprayed with a foul-smelling chemical during a protest last week, leading the university on Monday to bar the people accused of spraying it from campus.

In a statement that was emailed to all #Columbia students and faculty members on Monday night, Dennis A. Mitchell, the university’s interim provost, said that the individuals had been barred while the Police Department investigated “what appears to have been serious crimes, possibly hate crimes.”

Looking at the strikes of the 1940s, we can see that any combative #labor #resistance that breaks out today will likely emerge in defiance of union leadership rather than because of it. Looking at the general #strike of 2011, we can see that to succeed, combative #organizing must begin outside the workplace as well as within it, connecting the struggles of the unemployed and precarious with those of the employed. Exploring how the strategies that people experimented with in 2011 have fared in the decade since, we can draw up new proposals about what to bring to tomorrow’s uprisings.
As it has become increasingly difficult for workers to exert leverage on employers on a workplace-by-workplace basis, the general strike might represent a more ambitious way to wield power against the capitalist class as a whole.
