We must be clear that administrators are inviting police, who are legally authorized to use deadly force, on campuses to respond to what are peaceful protests. It is an unnecessary and dangerous escalation.

Gaza’s two biggest hospitals, Shifa and Nasser, have been decimated and their grounds turned into mass graves for Israel’s victims. These are the crimes people will be reading about for decades to come.

Gaza-based journalist Akram al-Satarri has just returned from Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, where Palestinians are still uncovering more bodies, many with evidence of torture or summary execution. “The three different mass graves are containing around 700 bodies,” he says. pic.twitter.com/WgCvB0SaA2
