Thanks to @CriticalInquiry for publishing these reflections drawn from the @UChicago solidarity encampment. The cowardice of @PaulAlivisatos & other admin in the face of Gaza's ongoing, US-backed extermination is breathtaking. Is there any limit for them?

Institutional Neutrality in a Time of Genocide

Christopher Iacovetti I want to begin these reflections with an episode I experienced as part of the UChicago United for Palestine (UCUP) negotiating team. Sitting across the table from President P…

This morning I and other students received notice from Jeremy Inabinet, Ass. Dean of Students, that @UChicago will pursue disciplinary action against us for having "occup[ied] space on the main quad" during last month's encampment. Sent this response to Jeremy and other admin:

@_thedoodler_ @UChicago This is like when ppl ask "Why not leave the US if you hate its policies?" The answer, in both cases, is that that'd be an abdication of responsibility. We're in this to effect material change for Palestine, not to shore up some self-image of ideological purity by running away.

@_thedoodler_ @UChicago Not that you actually care, but I should add that organizing against US policies on university campuses and from within "the heart of the empire" is precisely what Palestinians in Gaza have called on us to do:

It also glosses over the fact that Eugene Debs ran for president from prison. Dems should talk less about Trump's felon status (the least of his offenses) & more about how ppl like Harris turn vulnerable ppl into felons, extract prison labor from them, & deny them voting rights.

The felon vs. prosecutor narrative relies on stereotypes against those with felonies, stereotypes that often target Black and brown Americans to disenfranchise people from voting, housing, employment and financial services. It’s a narrative that is harmful to embolden.

@ThomasPfau3 You'll have to ask absolution for a lot more than that. Cheering on the brutalization, starvation, and extermination of a ghettoized population for 10+ months and justifying it by appeals to brazen Islamophobia aren't things Jesus looks kindly on.

@suchagreatguy @Acyn Biden/Harris just released another $3.5bn in military aid, as Harris' adviser reaffirmed she opposes any embargo. Meanwhile, the state they've enabled for 300 days just dropped 2000lb bombs on another school, killing 100+ ppl during dawn prayer: no water left to put out the fire.
