American University Alumni & Genocide

Many college and university students have taken a firm stand for freedom of expression, such as supporting Palestine, and adopted the motto of Free Palestine from the river to the sea movement. this stand did not please the Zionist organizations and some heads of several heads of these institutions.
Alumni of at least three elite U.S. universities are adding their voices to the growing resistance to the United States’ unquestioning support for Israel’s bombardment of Gaza — announcing that they would withhold donations to their alma maters unless the schools reverse their suspension of pro-Palestinian rights groups on campus.
Several news agencies and newsmen reported that more than 2,000 graduates of Columbia University and Barnard College signed a scathing letter accusing the schools of institutionalizing “anti-Palestinian racism” by suspending the campus chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace. It seems that the suspension of students at Columbia was taken without referring or any consultation we were informed, Rosberg confirmed Friday that the decision to suspend the groups was made by senior administrators including university President Minouche Shafik, “without input from the University Senate.“
“The university’s decision to suspend these student groups is not simply a matter of censorship or the repression of freedom of speech,” said the Columbia alumni. “Columbia is punishing students for protesting against ethnic cleansing and genocide.”
The graduates said they will withhold financial support for the school “until the following demands are met”:
Reverse the suspension of Columbia/Barnard Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace;
Divest from companies that profit from Israeli apartheid and are therefore complicit in genocide;
Discontinue the dual-degree partnership with Tel Aviv University and the Tel Aviv Global Center program; and Protect Palestinian students and their allies from anti-Palestinian, anti-Muslim, and anti-Jewish harassment and hostility.
“Over 500 alumni, ranging from the class of 1966 to the class of 2023, will withhold donations until Brandeis apologizes to these students, recharters its SJP chapter, and works with local police to ensure all charges against the students are dropped,”
SJP chapters have also been suspended at institutions including George Washington University and the University of Florida. The group announced it was suing Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over its suspension.
University students and organizations are facing a vicious enemy that is not pleased with them, this enemy, the Zionist lobby, is pressuring politicians and some university administrators to curve the students and prevent them from expressing their feelings towards the genocide that is taking place in Gaza by the Zionist entity, what causes severe pain to the Zionist seeing many Jewish organizations condemning Israel and taking a pro-Palestine stand.
The Zionist organizations are raising millions of dollars to suppress freedom of speech by controlling the press and reporters. this effort will be out of their control, through the activists on the ground we can watch what is happening with no distortion or fabrication.
