As students at 500 U.S. universities protested Israel’s genocide in Gaza, a surge of Title VI antisemitism investigations & lawsuits overwhelmingly targeted speech critical of Israel or Zionism.
Our latest visual with @MESA_1966 examines the weaponization of Title VI.

This is the glorious Inea Bushnaq. A folklorist and oral historian, she in part descends from the Bosnians who found a home in Tulkarm, Caesarea and elsewhere in the 1880s. palestine-studies.org/sites/…
Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

okay well I'm at least for the first step of this where we make a big registry of American IDF veterans
Over 20,000 U.S. citizens serve in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
Two Congressmen, Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA) and Max Miller (R-OH), are sponsoring a bill to extend U.S. government benefits to IDF members, benefits now reserved only for U.S. veterans.

Open access to "The Palestinians: From Peasants to Revolutionaries," by my amazing mother, Rosemary Sayigh, who turned an impressive 99 this month. Published in 1979, it went thru several reprints & translations and remains a landmark book:

Amitav Ghosh spoke at the New School last night, and he came off as a defeated, catastrophist who could not articulate a cohesive vision that grapples with the stakes of climate change for the global south and the intersections of tech, AI, climate, and the state.

The Biden admin helped realize a two-decades-long campaign to reinterpret Title VI so that anti-discrimination laws could be used to deter and punish criticism of Israel on campuses.
Trump admin is now wielding that tool to advance a broader far-right agenda in higher ed.
