A university (even a barely fledgling one, like this one) is a place where people labor to face the truth, understand the truth, and tell the truth. Right now, the painful truth that confronts us is that the children of Gaza are being killed by the Israeli armed forces. Whoever in this world imagines that they are in a better position because of these horrific actions, is profoundly confused, if not entirely insane. Please support AN IMMEDIATE CEASE-FIRE, and the good work of Doctors Without Borders, The International Rescue Committee, and Chef Andre’s Kitchen.
    Months ago, I found myself more and more agitated over agruments about whether the current killing of non-combatants in Gaza should be labeled a genocide. IT’S NOT ABOUT THE WORDS, ITS ABOUT THE LIVES!, I wanted to scream. I was quietly grateful to come across the following video of Senator Elizabeth Warren saying something similar in a public meeting.
