Students and faculty at The New School, home to the first faculty Gaza solidarity encampment, have announced they reached a deal with the university to hold a vote on divesting from Israel by June 14. The agreement comes after months of campus protests, encampments and the occupation of a university building to demand The New School divest its endowment from companies arming and supporting Israeli forces in Gaza and the West Bank. The school’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter has said the university currently has ties to several companies that are “actively involved in, and benefiting from, the genocide in Palestine,” including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Google and Caterpillar. “What this is not is an end to war or famine or occupation, and so we’re keeping our eyes on the bigger picture, which is Palestine,” says Alexandra Chasin, a professor at The New School and member of the faculty encampment negotiating team. “We hope to be a model, or at least to help organizers at other universities, as well.”

Thank you Professor and Thank you Amy and special thank you to all New School students and faculties. You are in the right side of history !
Students protested Vietnam, the Iraq Invasion and the genocide in Palestine. Always on the right side of history
Lies, incitement…
not a genocide
Students committed crimes at the behest of Mao during the Cultural Revolution. Simply being a student means nothing. These kids are larping as Hamas.
Being "on the RIGHT side"....
is ANTISEMITIC
😂😂

If you all think this is going to go in your favor, your optimism towards this "vote" is decieving you. Remember how a person with perception told you so. "Keep the people calm" tactics are so obvious.
Respect to Norway, Ireland, and Spain for recognising the state of Palestine.
Now, let them try to send their ambassadors to Ramallah…🤣🤣🤣
@@user-zq7zb6ew8p Your petty attempt at humor makes you look like a jerk. And the fact that you don't seem aware of it is pretty sad.
I don't
Respect to China for their support for Ugyurs
The kids are always on the right qide of history ❤️
DN, please do follow up on this from faculty & students following the vote by The New School Board of Directors (?). I am especially curious if there are any recent donors/contributions, just prior to vote.
Please also consider investigating if the Disability Rights activists ADAPT who recently have been protesting outside the Texas Govenors Mansion have ever experienced riot police intervention, cell phones suddenly turning off following a Amber alert msg, or have ever considered lobbying for Gov. Abbott to accept a performance pay decrease to $10.60/h and home healthcare aide duties added to the Governor job description. Perhaps $20/h and no mansion or private security personnel expenses? With the decreased expense in TX taxes reassesed to ADAPT who Abbott the Texas civil servant has been avoiding for 8 years.
Incredibly interesting.
BRAVO ,,WE LOVE YOU GENERATION Z !!
Your accomplishments give us hope. Thank you and wish you continued success.
I am so deeply proud to be an alumni and to have been part of the pickets supporting the encampment
Cover the demonstration at Portland state and library repairs
Hats off to the force of faith. God bless them all. ✌️

I hope there's political science majors law major coming out of this.

Dear Democracy Now, please show us a full three-minute video that Israeli television aired today of five pajama-clad female army conscripts being seized by Hamas gunmen during Oct. 7 attack. Let us, your viewers watch and analyze what was really happening on that day. Please show us that video clip!
Asking for something that doesn’t exist, bold move, AIPAC
@@johnmarko1125 you people? Oh yeah that’s definitely gonna get your account banned lol
@@vectorfox4782 Go Away MAGAT
Unfortunately, doubt she will. Look at her coverage and guests after October 7. Really sad.
@@vectorfox4782 This video absolutely exists. Are Marxists incapable of using X (Twitter)?
Did they stop using google for its nimbus project
God bless you REAL EDUCATORS examples of peace. . . This is new world order REALLY
Good job patriots
👍
👏👏👏
W!
Free the hostages
From both sides
I dont think she's said one word with that sentiment since October 7. Sickening. Thanks for speaking up.
@@marjoriecohn3868 Why would anyone with brain care about a few stupid israeli hostages when you have 5 million hostages who have been captive for years ? You are not very smart are you?
@@marjoriecohn3868 ...and you didnt say one word condemning canibalism, which means you support canibalism 😱😱😱OMG !! How can you do that?? Sickening

What?
Holy hell guys…..as a 50 something classic Lib I’m disappointed in you. You have always been a bit to the left of common sense but needed and honest. But I never thought you’d go to the equal opposite extremes of the far right. Peaceful protests absolutely but this do gooder selective outrage while covering your faces is going to do one thing and one thing only. Pave the way for the right. Mark my words. This will backfire in a huge way yet you will all still blame everything and everyone else. 🤦🏻♂️
wtf are you talking about? And classic liberalism is just another word for right-wing libertarianism.
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 Palestine 🇵🇸 will be free.
a model of Ignorance.
Seethe and cope
