NYU Imposes One-Year Suspensions on 11 Students for Protesting Gaza Genocide

On Dec. 11, over a dozen NYU students and faculty dropped flyers and hung banners throughout the Bobst Library while 13 people sat in on the administrative floor of thelibrary. The actionists were demanding a meeting with administrators, who had, in the spring during the Gaza solidarity encampment movement at NYU, promised students to disclose the university’s endowment, including all its investments in weapons manufacturers and ties to Israel and companies that profit off its occupation of Palestine.

The direct action was organized by student group Shut It Down NYU, which challenges what it sees as NYU’s ties to imperialism. Not only were the students’ demands ignored, but yesterday, 11 of them were suspended for a year on the pretext of participating “in coordinated and collective disruptive action” — the non-violent action at the library. Several more NYU students are currently going through disciplinary proceedings that could result in similar punishments.

Here is the press release we received from Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine:

Top Trump Official Claims Iran Is the Problem in the Middle East, Vows Crackdown on Pro-Palestinian Protesters

In an interview with Mark Levin, Waltz explained the “philosophy” of the incoming administration for the Middle East. “The problems in the Middle East by and large originate from Tehran, not from Tel Aviv. We’re going to stand by and support our greatest ally in the Middle East,” he said. “We’re aligned from a national security, intelligence and values standpoint.”

Waltz described this policy as instituting a “complete philosophical, wholesale national security shift.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Arab Leadership in Israel Appeals to Supreme Court Against Law Allowing Education Ministry to Dismiss Teachers and Cut Funding to Palestinian Schools Over Alleged “Support of Terrorism”

(December 17, 2024)

In the petition, Adalah Attorney Salam Irsheid argued that the law is clearly racist in intent, especially given the widespread persecution and criminalization of hundreds of Palestinian citizens by Israeli authorities and other entities since the outbreak of the war 7 October 2023, for merely expressing entirely lawful opinions. The law’s deliberate vagueness, and the fact that it only addresses “incitement to terrorism”—which is used almost exclusively to target Palestinians—while excluding incitement to violence or racism, highlights its discriminatory purpose. By granting broad, unchecked powers to political and administrative authorities, the law enables punitive actions to be taken against Palestinian educators for expressing views that fall outside the mainstream consensus, thereby severely undermining their basic right to freedom of expression. Adalah further argued that the law breaches the principle of the separation of powers, as it grants the Education Ministry the authority to infringe on teachers’ rights to freedom of expression and occupation, effectively requiring a determination of whether they have committed a criminal offense, even if no charges have been filed against them.

Petition to Supreme Court; Far-Right Govt Consider Bill Banning Left and Arab Campus Groups

Hadash MKs opposed the proposed legislation, calling it “dime-store fascist populism and McCarthyism.” According to Hadash MK Aida Touma-Sliman, “The Knesset is advancing two bills targeting critical students and professors, aimed primarily at Palestinian and leftist voices in academia. These bills seek to silence any remaining voices resisting the government’s policies of occupation and war. This marks another step in the fascist agenda to suppress any real opposition to the extreme right. Heads of universities, professors, and students recognize the danger of such legislation and are voicing their opposition.

On past week, the Knesset plenum, in a preliminary reading, passed a proposed law that would amend the Students Rights Law, allowing most Israeli higher education institutions to implement gender separation. MK Son Har-Melech proposed the law, which 55 members of the Knesset (MKs) supported and 45 MKs opposed.

“The purpose of the law is to threaten teachers and principals of Arab schools, to mark them and make them a target for surveillance and persecution,” the rights group stated, arguing that the tools already at its disposal before the current law were “adequate and sufficient.” “The law severely violates the rights to expression, employment and pedagogical autonomy of teachers and administrators,” it added.

Witch Hunt in Israel Against Peace Activists and Haaretz Editor

Israel’s Justice Minister Yariv Levin has announced Thursday, October 31, he’s pushing a bill to impose 20-year prison sentences on Israelis who advocate for sanctions against the country or its leaders. In other words: 20-year prison sentence for exercising freedom of speech in Israel.

The far-right government craziness in Israel is intensifying after a “Call for International Pressure,” initiated by Academy for Equality activists, was wide-world published last week and signed by over three thousands petitioners, including a group of leading Israeli academics, among them: Anat Matar, Smadar Ben-Natan, Moshé Behar, Tamir Sorek, Rafi Greenberg, Shira Klein, Lior Sternfeld, Ophira Gamliel, Hilla Dayan, Regev Nathansohn, Uri Hadar, Snait Gissis, Amalia Saar, Avishai Ehrlich, Efraim Davidi, Maya Rosenfeld, Avraham Oz, Ronnen Ben-Arie, Yael Berda, Anat Biletzki, Sivan Rajuan Shtang, Hannan Hever, Orly Lubin, Raz Chen-Morris, Hannah Safran, Revital Madar, Ilana Hairston, Amos Goldberg, Tamar Hager and Miriam Eliav-Feldon.

The petition stated, “We, Israeli citizens, living in Israel and abroad, are calling on the international community – the United Nations and its institutions, the United States, the European Union, the Arab League and all the countries of the world – to intervene immediately and apply every possible sanction… put real pressure on Israel for an immediate ceasefire.”

Despite the danger, we refused to engage standing by the principles of our encampment—self defense. For all the school’s pretense of student safety, we have experienced an unprecedented amount of violence and hatred while they stood by. The university’s hypocrisy all too apparent, as signs of this escalation were reported, documented, and indicated early on. The zionist attacks, their use of chemical weaponry, their hatred, their destruction, are but a microcosm of the genocide in Gaza. The university would rather see us dead than divest.

APRIL 22 Letter from Jewish Faculty Against the Weaponization of Antisemitism

Dear President Mills and Provost Dopico,

We write this public letter as Jewish faculty at NYU requesting that the university administration discontinue its practice of relying on specious charges of antisemitism when adjudicating matters of student conduct and faculty discipline concerning pro-Palestinian speech and protest. This matter has particular urgency as just this morning a coalition of NYU students has established an encampment in solidarity with Gaza, and already NYU has taken steps to limit and constrain their speech and mobility.

We reject outright the administration’s insistence that criticism of Israeli state policy is inherently antisemitic and so constitutes discrimination. There is nothing Jewish about supporting Israel’s destruction of Gaza or about the US bombs that have killed more than 10,000 children there, nor is it antisemitic to denounce Israeli state violence or to protest American imperialism. Moreover, by adopting a cheapened idea of “antisemitic” hate speech defined by the very same right wing political figures who have given energy and legitimacy to neo-fascist groups across the US and to the McCarthyite anti-intellectual assault on higher education unfolding today, the university degrades the discourse of antisemitism itself. With this in mind, we request that the university reverse all punitive Office of Equal Opportunity decisions in disciplinary proceedings that have depended upon the erroneous equation of anti-Israel speech with antisemitism.

After all, the division over the war in Gaza is by no means confined to students. As has happened with so many rifts in our country’s history, students have simply used their activism to become a prism reflecting the wider world. Which is why they need to be taken seriously, for all of our sakes.

If they do nothing else, the growing demonstrations are forcing us to confront who we are, what we believe and why.

Kleinbauern verloren die Früchte ihrer Arbeit und das gerade bestellte eigene Land.

Heinz Bude und der Umbau der Gesellschaft

(1. März 2024)

Gestern habe ich ein Video aus einer Diskussionsveranstaltung zur Aufarbeitung der Coronakrise geschnitten. Die Diskussionsveranstaltung fand bereits am 24. Januar 2024 an der Universität Graz statt unter dem Titel “Gesellschaft im Ausnahmezustand – Was lernen wir aus der Coronakrise?“. Auf dem Podium waren Heinz Bude (Uni Kassel), Alexander Bogner (ÖAW Wien) und Klaus Kraemer (Uni Graz). Moderiert wurde die Diskussion von Daphne Hruby (freie Mitarbeiterin beim ORF.

(…)

Heinz Bude: Jetzt noch einmal aus dem Nähkästchen geplaudert. Wir haben gesagt, wir mussten, wir müssen ein Modell finden, um Folgebereitschaft herzustellen, das so ein bisschen wissenschaftsähnlich ist. Und das war diese Formel „Flatten the curve“, dass wir gesagt haben „Wie können wir die Leute zu überzeugen, mitzutun?“ Wir sagen denen, es sieht so nach Wissenschaft aus, ne? Man sagt, „wenn ihr, wenn ihr schön diszipliniert seid, könnt ihr die Kurve verändern“. Das heißt quasi man kann – es gibt eine Veranschaulichung von individuellen Verhaltensveränderungen in einer Art von wissenschaftlicher Darstellbarkeit. Das war in dieser, in dieser Form mit drin. Das haben wir geklaut von einem Wissenschaftsjournalisten haben wir nicht selber erfunden. Aber wir fanden das irgendwie toll, dass man so, also dass man so ein quasi Wissenschaftsargument noch in der Art der Erzeugung von… (Heinz Bude wird an dieser Stelle unterbrochen. Der weitere Redebeitrag setzt wenige Minuten später wieder ein)

Also das ist glaube ich jetzt ein ganz wichtiger Punkt. Meiner Ansicht nach laufen wir auf wieder singuläre Krisen absehbar hinaus. In unserer gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung. Nehmen wir nur Extremwetterereignisse und singuläre Krisen, die ich vor Augen sehe, werden damit zu tun haben, dass man auf individuelles Verhalten zugreifen muss. Also indem etwa bei Extremwetterereignissen wird man Leute evakuieren müssen. Man wird Leuten sagen müssen, Du kannst dein Haus nicht mehr an dieser Stelle aufbauen. Und man wird Zwang ausüben müssen auf Leute, die sagen, ich habe aber andere Informationen, ich lasse mich hier nicht evakuieren. Und zwar legitimen Zwang. Wir werden mit Situationen vermehrt zu tun haben in der Zukunft. Solche Art von Krisen, die individuelle Verhaltensveränderungen verlangen, wenn man den Krisen als Gesellschaft in kollektiver Handlungsfähigkeit standhalten will. Und das ist das entscheidende Argument. Können wir das überhaupt in einer modernen liberalen Gesellschaft? Geht das eigentlich? Und muss man da nicht hinterrücks ganz furchtbare Dinge wie Angstkommunikation, also sozialpsychologische Dinge benutzen, um solche Arten von Folgebereitschaften zur Veränderung von individuellem Verhalten vorzunehmen? Das ist ein Unterschied, als ob man eine Krise wie 2008/2009 durch eine Stellschraubenveränderung in Bezug auf die Finanzmärkte lösen kann. Das ist eine andere Sorte von Krisenlösung. Die Krisenlösungen, die uns bevorstehen, haben den Charakter von Kriegen, sie haben den Charakter von Pandemien, und die haben den Charakter von Extremwetterereignissen. Das ist absehbar. Auch Europa wird in mittlerer Frist noch wieder Kriege haben. Und da sind die Dinge, wo man sich überlegen muss, Welche Art von Vorratsreflexion sozialwissenschaftlicher Art braucht man auf diese absehbare Herausforderung, die vor uns steht?

1. Ist der vor fünf Monaten vom Staat unter Anglizismen-Blödelei (“Lockdown”, “Social Distancing”) ausgerufene Ausnahmezustand verfassungsgemäß?

Nein.

2. Ist die Gewaltenteilung, wie vom Grundgesetz dem Staat diktiert, in Deutschland derzeit in Kraft?

Wo ist dieser Sauhaufen überhaupt, in der “Krise”, die die gesamte Gesellschaft lähmt und ihrer Verfassungsrechte beraubt?

Haben sie kontrolliert, woher dieses ganze neue Zahlentestament überhaupt stammt, wer es zusammengezählt oder einfach erzählt hat? Haben sie Akten studiert, Datenbanken durchforstet, vor Ort, so als ginge es für sie um einen Steuernachlass von 500 Euro wegen eines neuen, potentiell absetzbaren Smart Devices in ihrer 7-Zimmer-Villa, also praktisch um ihr Leben?

Taktik des Terrorkrieges: “Hate Speech” und Kontrolle

(27.01.2018)

Lüge, Betrug, Verrat, Vergewaltigung, Mord, Folter, Ausbeutung, Unterdrückung, Krieg, Genozid und deren strukturelle Manifestation durch Politik, Staat und Kapital zu hassen ist eine ganz normale menschliche Emotion. Sie kann allerdings genau dazu benutzt werden was sie bei Menschen normalerweise hervorruft.

(…)

Des Weiteren gibt die Akzeptanz des politischen, letztlich unweigerlich repressiven Begriff “Hate Speech” (Hass-Sprache) repressiven Organen die Option einer maximal perfiden und zynischen Dialektik: mehr Lüge, mehr Betrug, mehr Verrat, mehr Vergewaltigung, mehr Mord, Folter, Ausbeutung, Unterdrückung und Krieg gegen Ausgelieferte und Hilflose anzuwenden, mit der ganz normalen menschlichen Reaktion der Betroffenen zu rechnen, diese einzukalkulieren, sogar gezielt zu provozieren und diese dann als “hateful” zu bezeichnen und noch mehr entsprechende Maßnahmen gegen diese anzuwenden, da diese ja “hateful” seien, abnormal und gefährlich.
