The sacrifices of these students is a powerful riposte to the careerism that grips so many faculty, to say nothing of the genuine complicity (in genocide, no less) and monumental cowardice of university administrators.

Peace to Aaron Bushnell. We add him to the rolls of yesterday's martyrs in Gaza. Of the nearly 100 killed: two fisherman shot off the coast of Khan Yunis; seven year old Heba Abdin whose home was bombed; and Muhammed al-Zayegh, 60 days old, who died of starvation. Free Palestine.

In 2002, Edward Said gave a lecture at UCLA. There's a moment near the end which I've always loved. Said gets frustrated with a heckler and says "I don't feel like answering the question for you, you lout." As uniformed louts swarm the campus, don't answer their questions.

An English translation of the statement released today by the presidents of Israel's research universities slandering the actions of student demonstrators in the United States as violent and anti-Semitic. Israeli universities serve the Israeli state and must be boycotted.
