/ The Most Influential Protest You’ve Never Heard Of: May Day, 1971

[…] Fifty years ago today, on May Day 1971, thousands of protesters descended on Washington, DC, to protest the Vietnam War. The ensuing three days of disruptive actions directly confronted the Nixon administration — and resulted in the largest civil disobedience–related detentions in US history.

David Meer was arrested during the brutal police raid on the Gaza solidarity encampment at Emory University in Atlanta. Meer talks to Mondoweiss about his arrest, the broad Palestine coalition on campus, and why he became involved.

Looks like* they set a deadline for escalating the genocide in Gaza on May 10th§.

Which is one explanation as to why Shitlib–Fascist combine have such urgency to escalate physical attacks so quickly — showing their cards so openly, which they usually are careful not show.

State goons & Fascists are rushing to clear student encampments violently now because genocidal half-dead Nazi zombie doesnt want anyone to escalate within Empire if & when his fascist dog in Middle East escalates & attacks Rafah — dialling-up the knob of his genocidal death machine.

In essence: Half-dead Nazi zombie wants his buddy to commit genocide in "Peace" — if & when it materialises.

§ With option to delay genocide little longer if Hamas agrees to "hostage deal". Hamas agreed to Hostage deal in Oct itself, but this "deal" is not about stopping genocide but delaying genocidal attack by few more days — so, it can be conducted with even more ruthlessness than before, as then every murdered person is guaranteed to be a Palestinian.

  • This is my extrapolation based on something I have seen mention on @readytoescalate on hellsite.

ISRAEL OPENS EREZ CROSSING TO AID FOR FIRST TIME in northern Gaza, as video above shows trucks passing through border wall sealed shut since October 7.

Gazan authorities still say aid deliveries far less than what Washington and Tel Aviv claim, with the latter claiming an average of 300-400 trucks a day.

Head of 's Government Media Office Maarouf says average of 163 trucks a day only are passing through to Gaza, with at least 1,000 trucks needed to make up for dire lack of aid faced by 7 months of siege. Only 419 trucks entered north Gaza in all of April alone.

Lessons from practice

> Encampments are liberated zones; they should not reproduce authoritarianism, capitalism, or any other form of oppression. Camp security teams should not replace the police with whoever can buy a vest and megaphone at Home Depot. Campers should not feel pressure to ask for permission from “leadership” to act. Decisions should be made autonomously wherever possible, or else by consensus. We must trust and love each other enough to coexist without hierarchy.

Practice always beats the most well written theory. Altho theory & guesswork help us in the absence of action usually with rule of thumbs i.e to know what happened & whats likely going to happen, but its never a substitute for actual practice.

PS: Yes, I am aware that I am starting obvious. But sometimes putting thoughts into words helps when it comes to self-therapy.

Bob Feldman, who protested at Columbia University in 1968, on the student uprising today, “I would tell these students: people will always remember what you did today . . . and I believe they have accomplished much more in 2024 than we did in 1968.”

The moment a house was bombed in the north of Beit Lahia.

Imagine this in the United States of Israel.

Being content with pittance

It's perfectly okay for people to not take the risk they are not comfortable with.

But insisting on celebrating a nothing burger from some of the student groups is just coping.

If I wrote 100 items on a list of demand that are not heart of a dispute, that ruling class allows me to "win" on, with no commitment on the actual substantive purpose of the protest — that 1 or 2 things, that's a straightforward loss, no matter the spin.

Some of these "wins" being celebrated as "wins" are just the same "wins" shitlibs already gave before. Symbolic not substantive.

It's exactly same as them agreeing to dropping food from above (sometimes on people's heads) while simultaneously dropping bombs to kill.

Getting agreement on former is nothing to celebrate. Getting substantive concession on later is what matters.

When the "leadership" i.e Professional Managerial Class (PMC) gets involved, this is exactly what happens. Getting no substantive concession on divestment but getting some symbolic stuff is just theatre.
