Bitter I’m an artist, writer, and community organizer who lives in North Park.
Have Israeli war crimes expanded the definition of war, and are the concerns expressed in the first weeks of Israel’s attack on Gaza valid? Are the massacres, the ongoing ethnic cleansing of displaced people in Rafah, and the starvation in North Gaza impacting the world through redefined rules, laws, and treatment of protesters at home? Are the changing rhetoric and rules targeting American college campuses as their epicenter? Urgent questions await answers.
American college campuses are testing new security standards implemented by an alarming number of American college presidents. Some, too many, are waging military operations against students. In my mind’s eye, I see cartoonish icons of robber barons and Pinkerton cops from a century ago, but our police are better trained and equipped than they were a century ago.
Why were the medical tents at UC San Diego the first place police destroyed on May 6? Medical facilities are no longer sacred spaces. Hospital in GazaBy midday, UC San Diego administrators were attempting to charge the students with felony charges. The San Diego community stood up and blocked any kind of charges. Are our students and faculty being legally treated like terrorists? What is the chain of command for how our students have been and will be treated?
As the US-Israeli war enters its seventh month, Israel’s genocidal atrocities against Palestinians have normalized the brutalization of medical staff and the destruction of medical facilities in Gaza. Specifically, are UC San Diego administrators and other educational leaders following the Israeli playbook of normalizing violence against protesters and students by first destroying medical aid?
The governing bodies of educational institutions have traditionally been aligned with educational goals. However, since the early 1980s, university governing bodies have been increasingly concerned by terrorism and often Under the guidance of the Anti-Defamation League. Budget cuts began during the Reagan administration and continued under subsequent Republican and Democratic administrations. Public resources have never fully recovered.

By the 1990s, school boards were filled with: John MooresFormer San Diego Padres owner and later appointed to the University of California Board of Trustees. He was a divisive Proposition 209 And by volunteering a lot of time Disregard for public educationThe financial officer appears to have more influence than the other tokenized directors, and if that wasn’t enough, there is also a blatant disdain for education running rampant within the company. K-12.
Police have become increasingly militarized since the 1960s, and politicians seem obsessed with militarizing solutions to our neighborhoods and campuses. Police use military weapons, receive military training Israel is so focused on domestic terrorism that our friendly neighborhood police barely get a mention outside of public relations campaigns. Are the police essentially opposed to peaceful demonstrations and ignoring violent disruptors? Collusion between the far right and university administrators What about the police? Gaslighting is being used to blame peaceful protesters. Anneliese Orlek, 65, said: Jewish Professor of Jewish Studies He was thrown to the ground and arrested at Dartmouth College.
Israel’s normalization of massacres and attacks on medical facilities, hospitals and doctors has begun to spread beyond the occupied territories. Following suit, politicians and commentators now resort to branding American students and protesters as sympathizers of terrorism and Hamas. Really? Does anyone still believe this after this incident? Israel’s Documented Lies The carnage of the past seven months appears to be seeping into local policing in America with the targeting of medical resources at UCSD campgrounds and possibly other university campgrounds. Would faculty be placed in solitary confinement and deprived of food, hygiene and medicine, as they were at Columbia?
The UC San Diego Board of Regents and Chancellor Pradeep Khosla, who deployed police to target student protesters and health care workers, should resign and be forever stigmatized for repeatedly crossing unimaginable ethical lines. California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Governor Gavin Governor Newsom is an accomplice because the State Highway Police were involved.
