Raid on Birzeit University by the IDF last night. It's the same university attended by Palestine footballer Natalie Abudayyeh - who was taken at gunpoint in June, along with other students. She is still in prison. Still no charge put to her.

When my father was faculty at Cornell he was stopped by the police chief in the street & asked who he was & where he was going. When he balked at the fact that no one but him, an Arab man, was being asked, the chief said “I’m just protecting students” Same guy failed to investigate 7 rapists.

The problem isn’t that they’re moving past it—it’s that they’re trying to rehabilitate it. Would be better for everyone if people who don’t want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that.
