“In January, Gaza took its first tenuous breath of stillness in more than a year. It is a moment of clarity, a reminder that our work is far from done. For the student movement, this is a call to recalibrate and push forward. We cannot mistake temporary stillness for resolution, nor recognition for accomplishment. Nothing short of full liberation can be our goal. By now, you know that universities have nothing to offer us but spectacle and scorn. The U.S. ruling class has spent decades perfecting its support of Zionism, with universities as central pipelines for research, propaganda and profit. For 467 days, while every university in Gaza was reduced to rubble and its hospitals were running out of room for the dead, U.S. higher education upheld these partnerships with military contractors, surveillance tech firms and Zionist think tanks disguised as cultural exchange programs.” (03/17/25)
