May 8, 2026At the U. of #Michigan’s recent commencement ceremony, history professor Derek Peterson delivered a 5-minute speech in which he celebrated all those who have fought for justice at the university, my alma mater. Invoking our legendary fight song, he asked the crowd to “sing” for suffragist Sarah Burger, who battled to get #women admitted as students; for Moritz Levi, UM's first #Jewish professor; for all the students who fought for #RacialJustice at #UM as part of the Black Action Movement; and for the “pro-#Palestinian student activists, who have over these past two years opened our hearts to the injustice and inhumanity of #Israel’s war in #Gaza.”

Stell klar, wo immer Du kannst, dass diese Leute lügen, wie skrupellos sie lügen, wie #rechtsextrem und #antisemitisch sie sind, und missbrauche nicht #jüdischeSymbole.
Bemühe Dich um Wissen , lies #Haaretz oder #TheForward und glaube nicht den Lügen der #Rechtsextremisten vom #Zentralrat und der #Antisemiten in der #deutschen #Presse und #Politik, worunter die #Antisemitismusbeauftragten die schlimmsten sind, aber auch Leute wie #KarinPrien.

The Columbia #protest leader on #Hamas, Zionism and why #Jews shouldn’t fear a ‘free Palestine’

April 7, 2026“I have a nuanced view of the #Zionist project that goes beyond 'Zionism is bad.'”(On what he learned from engaging with liberal Zionism)
Khalil, like the movement he came to represent, is adamant that #Zionism is racist. He opposes any two-state solution that seeks to preserve a Jewish majority in #Israel.
“Rejecting the self-determination of the Jewish people on the #Palestinian land in itself is not #antisemitism,” Khalil said during our interview. “You are denying other people’s rights in the land.”
“This is what we should aspire for: to get a place where there’s no more conflict, no more killing in that place and it’s open to anyone who wants to call it their home.”

#ADL chief compares student protesters to Islamist terrorists
#JonathanGreenblatt also said protests against #Israel were driven by ‘same kind of nihilists’ who participated in Black Lives Matter

"“We are an apolitical, non-partisan organization, but you have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see what’s happening on the left,” #Greenblatt said Friday, according to audio from the event obtained by the #Forward.
“There is a throughline from Occupy Wall Street to BLM to ‘defund the police’ to ‘River to the Sea,’” he added, referring to the Black Lives Matter movement launched a decade ago to protest police violence. “They are the same people, these are the same kind of nihilists.”"
