US Universities Should Respect Right to Protest

End Crackdown on Peaceful Pro-Palestinian Protests

https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/04/26/us-universities-should-respect-right-protest

There have been troubling reports of antisemitic incidents in and around Columbia University’s campus. Allegations of antisemitic acts and speech by individuals, as well as acts of Islamophobia and other forms of discrimination, should be investigated and addressed on the merits in a case-by-case basis, through fair and transparent processes.\
\
As protests spread to campuses across the country, university administrations should be careful not to mislabel criticism of Israeli government policies or advocacy for Palestinian rights as inherently antisemitic or to misuse university authority to quash peaceful protest. Instead, universities should safeguard people’s rights to assembly and free expression.

Charges dropped against all 57 arrested in connection to UT-Austin pro-Palestinian protest

All charges have been declined against the 57 people arrested in connection to the Wednesday pro-Palestinian protest at the University of Texas.

The Travis County attorney's office said all 57 arrests, which were all criminal trespassing charges, lacked probable cause.

County Attorney Delia Garza, whose office handles misdemeanor cases, told the American-Statesman on Thursday that her office agreed with defense lawyers that there were "deficiencies" with the probable cause arrest affidavits, which are the documents filled out by law enforcement to justify an arrest. At that time on Thursday, 46 of the 57 had charges declined. ...

This Rabbi is charged with anti terrorism charges: This morning, seven rabbis and activists were arrested by Israeli police at the Gaza border as part of a delegation of thirty rabbis and other peace activists with Rabbis for Ceasefire from Israel and the United States who were attemping to bring food supplies into #Gaza through the Erez crossing.

The Passover Haggadah reads, “Let all who are hungry come and eat,” and teaches us that we must work for the freedom of all people. The Israeli government is enacting a famine on the people of Gaza. Forced starvation is just one of the many weapons of war that the Israeli state is using against the 2.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

This group of rabbis and activists came to the Erez Border crossing on Passover carrying aid in coordination with UNRWA, an organization critical to providing international aid to avert famine and further catastrophe for the people in Gaza. The Israeli government has banned #UNRWA from operating in northern Gaza. Rabbis for Ceasefire is bringing food aid to demonstrate this dire need, to call for the opening of all border crossings to allow in aid, and to demand an end to the siege on Gaza.​​​​​​​

Food aid is essential but not sufficient. To save the lives of Palestinians on the verge of death by the Israeli government's policy of forced starvation and siege, there must also be sufficient infrastructure in place to safely supply and distribute food alongside medical care. Life for Palestinian people is impossible without a permanent #ceasefire and lifting of the siege on Gaza.

As Rabbi Brant Rosen says, "next year, may there be liberation from the river to the sea."
