LETTER TO COLUMBIA PRESIDENT MINOUCHE SHAFIK
 

You are keeping no one safe, except for your donors, trustees, and the
university’s endowment.

Dear President Nemat Minouche Shafik,

As a former Columbia University faculty member and father of a
Columbia graduate (PhD ’21), I am quite frankly appalled by your
draconian, unethical, illegal, and dishonest actions toward your own
students and faculty.

In the name of keeping students safe, you bring the NYPD on campus to
break up a peaceful encampment, thereby endangering hundreds of
student protesters—many of whom are Jewish students and students of
color—and the campus community at large. Given the NYPD’s racist
record, the fact that you would subject Black, Latinx, Arab and South
Asian students to police repression suggests that you are either
unaware or indifferent to the trauma our communities have experienced
with the police. And your administration’s decision to evict
students from their dorms, strip them of their meal cards, and have
them charged with trespassing is nothing less than vindictive. After
taking their tuition and fees, you render them houseless and
potentially food insecure. How does this make students safe? As
president, you must be well aware of the number of financially
vulnerable students enrolled at Columbia.

In forty years, I have never seen such brazen cruelty toward students
and faculty.

Israel's anti Palestinian policies engender and promote antisemitism

RE: THE TWO-STATE SOLUTION IS AN UNJUST, IMPOSSIBLE FANTASY
 

"The Two-State solution mantra has allowed policymakers to avoid
confronting the reality that partition is unattainable in the case of
Israel and Palestine, and illegitimate as an arrangement originally

SORRY, I JUST CAN'T CELEBRATE PASSOVER
 

Friends and Family

Sadly, I won't join you for Passover. Not with what is happening in
Gaza. I just can't.

There is a way to tell the story of Passover as the celebration of a
freedom struggle. I think of it as the Pete Seeger, Kumbaya version.
Moses is a freedom fighter, a Che Guevara, a Nelson Mandela. He stands
up to Pharaoh, tells him, "Let my people go," and with God on his side
leads his people out of bondage and on toward the promised land. It's
a story of liberation. It's a story that inspired slaves to flee the
plantations and make the perilous journey north with the hounds
barking at their heels. Harriet Tubman was called the Moses of her
people. The story of Passover can be read that way, but it no longer
works for me. It leaves out too much.

The settlers in the West Bank, and all those in Israel who have become
the cheerleaders for the genocide in Gaza pay attention to the parts
we overlook. They pay attention to the parts that support their belief
Jews are a chosen people, entitled to – no actually required – to
commit genocide if necessary to claim the land God promised them. The
story of Passover is the story of a tribe, which believed there was
only one God and that God looked after them and cared for them
exclusively. When they were enslaved by Africans in Egypt, their one
God did not hesitate to engineer their escape by committing genocide.
Is there a more appropriate way to describe the plagues, described in
Exodus, which we celebrate by dipping our finger in the wine and
dropping drops onto our Seder plate?

He turned all the water in Egypt into blood so that "the fish in the
Nile died and the river smelled so bad the Egyptians could not drink
its water;" He killed off their livestock, the horses, donkeys and
camels, the sheep and the goats. He sent hail that "struck everything
in the fields – both people and animals; it beat down everything
growing the fields and stripped every tree." Then he sent a plague of
locusts, which "devoured all that was left after the hail." I leave
out the frogs and the flies and the gnats, that children find so
amusing and come to the final plague, which killed all the firstborn
in Egypt from "the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on the throne, to the
firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon and the firstborn of
all the livestock as well." Compared to what God did to the Egyptians,
what Hamas did to escape bondage in Gaza on October 7 was small
potatoes. And one has to wonder, if God is all-powerful, wouldn't
there have been a simpler way to free His people, like reaching into
the mind of Pharaoh and implanting the idea it would be a good thing
to let the Jews go? No, he chose genocide.

That's the genocide we celebrate at Passover. The story we tell ends
with the deliverance from bondage. By ending the story there we leave
out what the Jews did after they were freed from bondage and came to
their promised land. It's recorded in the of Joshua. There we learn
God said to Joshua, "get ready to cross the Jordan River into the book
land I am about . . . to give to the Israelites. I will give you every
place where you set your foot. . . . Your territory will extend "to
the Mediterranean Sea." God gave Palestine to the Israelites "from the
river to the sea."

The problem is, there were other people living there. The problem was
quickly solved. The Jews crossed the river Jordan and came to Jericho.
There, as the song goes, Joshua "fit the Battle of Jericho and the
walls came tumbling down." It's not just the walls that came tumbling
down. The Israelites "destroyed with the sword every living thing in
it – men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys." and
"they burned the whole city and everything in it." And then they went
on to the city of Ai, and killed everyone who was in it, "12,000 men
and women." And Joshua "impaled the body of the king of Ai on a pole
and left it there until evening and then took it down and buried in
under a pile of rocks at the entrance to the city. And the Jews burned
Ai and left it "a permanent heap of ruins, a desolate place to this
day. That's the second genocide in the series begins with the genocide
of the Egyptians.

And now we come to the third genocide in the lineage, unfolding now in
Gaza, and again Jews are well on the way to leaving the place "a
permanent heap of ruins and a desolate place." There is a direct line
between the genocides told in the Bible and the one we are reading
about every day in the news. Bondage in Egypt and the Holocaust in
Germany are used to justify vengeance without mercy. God's promise of
land to the Israelite is used to justify Israel's claim of exclusive
right to all of Palestine from the river to the sea. And the Old
Testament provides a guidebook on what to do with pesky Palestinians
who refuse to submit or leave.

So that's why I can't celebrate Passover.

I will miss you. I wish we had a celebration I could feel good about.
We could invent our own, as Maulana Karenga did with Kwanzaa. We could
ditch that vengeful genocidal Old Testament God. We don't need to
validate the idea that we are God's chosen people and Palestine is our
promised land. I would love to celebrate instead, the secular Jewish
tradition with which I identify, the tradition of the "Non-Jewish
Jew." My list of our heroes would include Marx, Einstein, Freud, Rosa
Luxemburg, and Emma Goldman; We could celebrate our solidarity with
oppressed peoples all over the world. We could celebrate resistance;
we could celebrate the Warsaw ghetto uprising. We could honor the
victims of the Holocaust, our martyrs, by pledging always be on the
side of the oppressed and all those who struggle against fascism.

I would like nothing better than to participate in such a celebration.

Take care,

Osha

RE: TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT?
 

Jack Radey said a lot of things I've been thinking about protest
tactics for 20-25 years, going back to the era of "Black Bloc"
tactics, which were essentially parasiting on somebody else's
demonstration to break windows and get into fights with cops, all in
the name of showing off their own "militance." There wasn't much
objective difference between that and the standard provocateur tactic
of making a peaceful march look violent, scaring off
participants—especially people who are older, have kids or jobs, or
can't take a bust—who don't want to fight the cops, and alienating
neutrals who might be sympathetic to the cause.

As an experienced activist once told me, "politics isn't
self-expression." "What are you trying to accomplish?" should be the
most important question about tactics. It takes an incredible amount
of insular groupthink to believe that gluing yourself to a famous
painting is an effective tactic to stop global heating. The recent
traffic-blocking protests seem to come from a place more of "we're
going to punish these apathetic sheeple" than of "we're trying to win
them over."

Organizing people is really hard and takes better social skills than I
have, but that's what it takes to gain change.

This article is interesting and urgent, but it is far too intellectual

Your article is DISGUSTING and ONE-SIDED. Is this newsletter only in
favor of SOME UNIONS and not others? You should either close up shop
or re-evaluate your entire operation.

The Oakland Coliseum-Arena complex has been home to thousands of
well-paid and well-benefitted UNION jobs, probably many more than the
Port of Oakland. The entire complex is 100% union serviced and
operated. The A's leaving Oakland to go to stinking non-union Las
Vegas, because their proposed new Oakland stadium was not approved, is
ripping the heart out of thousands of union families in the Bay Area.
Families that may have thought your newsletter was on their side, but
apparently not.

YOUR ONE-SIDE POSTURE IS DISGUSTING AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

STEPS TO RESPOND TO STUDENTS' DEMANDS. WE APPLAUD THIS NEWS.
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS AND ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF NEED TO LISTEN TO THE
DEMANDS OF STUDENTS AND STOP CALLING THE POLICE AND ARMED GUARDS TO
SHUT DOWN DISSENT."¹ 

Northwestern University administrators also have met with student
protesters and reportedly have come to an agreement after using
police to shut down protests.²

EMERGENCY ACTION FOR UCLA: Students were violently attacked by
anti-Palestinian counter-protesters. Failed by the university and LA
elected officials, please take action for them. (See last tab.)

###

As of May 2, more than 1,600 students have been arrested for
protesting on campuses. Instead of listening to student demands,
university presidents are calling the police and armed guards to shut
down their activism.³⁴⁵ 

LIKE A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN THE U.S., STUDENTS WANT A CEASEFIRE IN
GAZA AND AN END TO GENOCIDE. 

IT HAS BEEN OVER 200 DAYS OF ISRAELI MASSACRES OF PALESTINIANS. IT
MUST END. 

Students have played a pivotal role in changing the course of history,
helping bring an end to the Vietnam War and South Africa's apartheid.
And once again, students are making history.

Students are demanding that universities divest from corporations
profiting from Israel's apartheid and genocide. They will not be
silenced.

TAKE ACTION WITH US. EMAIL 37 UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS AND
CHANCELLORS RESPONDING TO NONVIOLENT DISSENT WITH PUNISHMENT AND
VIOLENCE.

Dear [recipient position will go here]  [recipient name will go
here],

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent treatment
of students at your university who have been courageously speaking out
against war and genocide in Gaza.

We are witnessing one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time.
More than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel. 

Students are rightfully speaking up and calling for divestment from
genocide and for the survival of Palestinians in Gaza and the West
Bank. 

Your students should be saluted for their actions, not punished, and
never victimized by police for exercising their rights. Shutting down
dissent undermines the principles of free speech and academic freedom
that universities are meant to uphold.

It is not too late to align with the values of justice and humanity. I
implore you to change course and demonstrate leadership by standing on
the right side of history.

Sincerely,
[your name will go here]

"Research into the relationships between powerful people,
corporations, and institutions – aka power research – is essential
if we want to know who we’re really up against in our fights for
justice. This form of research helps us demystify the corporate
playbook, find strategic targets and points of leverage, identify
campaignable opportunities, reshape narratives to better inform the
public, and find new ways that campaigns and movements are
interconnected. In short, it not only helps us understand who we’re
up against, it helps us see who is on our side and how to bring others
into our work."

The Public Accountability Initiative (PAI) aka LittleSis
[[link removed]] is a nonprofit
watchdog research organization focused on corporate and government
accountability. We conduct and facilitate power research and public
interest research on how power relationships shape policy in the
United States. Our research brings transparency to the influence of
big money and corporate power in our daily lives.

We frequently work in partnership with organizers and journalists to
support challenges to this influence, and we also work to make power
research more participatory, through trainings and workshops. We
consider ourselves a movement utility that can help power the path
toward a future grounded in racial, environmental, and economic
justice.

PAI also oversees LittleSis.org, a wiki database and platform for
power research. LittleSis is like the opposite of Big Brother –
instead of surveilling our communities, we track the people and
organizations in the power structure, from CEOs and major investors to
politicians and lobbyists. Data on LittleSis is drawn from a diverse
array of online sources, and maintained through a combination of
automated scripts and user edits. Activists, journalists, and
researchers use the site to conduct research, analyze data, and create
visual network maps with Oligrapher, the LittleSis power mapping tool.

GROUP OF THE DEMOCRTIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA)

 

 

ONLINE: THE WORLD’S TECTONIC GEOPOLITICAL CHANGES AND THEIR
IMPLICATIONS  --  MAY 22  (CAMPAIGN FOR PEACE, DISARMAMENT AND
COMMON SECURITY)

 

CPDCS has arranged an exceptional webinar panel on the Tectonic
Geopolitical changes that are transforming the international
landscape, their implications, and common security policies.
Understanding the forces at play is essential to ending and preventing
wars, reversing the climate emergency, and bringing greater security
and justice to all.

Before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Hamas’ October 7 massacre,
and the launching of Israel’s genocidal war, the U.S. National
Security Strategy announced that the Post Cold-War era was over, and
that China is the rival peer power. Competition for 21st century power
and privilege was already well under way. How greatly the world has
changed is reflected in the Global South’s greater influence marked
by its reluctance to take sides in the Ukraine War and in South
Africa’s charging Israel with genocide – with the U.S. and much of
Europe deeply complicit - in the International Court of Justice.

These tectonic changes are playing out before our eyes and will affect
our, our children’s, and our grandchildren’s lives. As we see here
worldwide calls for ceasefires and to stanch the climate emergency,
our actions make a difference.

The webinar from noon to 1:30 p.m. EDT is scheduled to accommodate our
speakers from India, Turkey, and here in the U.S.

The expert panel will include:

* RICHARD FALK, Emeritus Professor of International Law at Princeton

* ANURADHA CHENOY, Emeritus Professor, and former Dean of the School
