Jewish Students Announce Boycott Of Columbia/Barnard Hillel As It Hosts Israeli Officials Who Demolish Palestinian Homes
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday, October 8
Media Contact: columbiabarnardivp@gmail.com
NEW YORK, NY - The day after October 7th, Columbia/Barnard (CB) Hillel's Kraft Center is holding an event with the Jerusalem Municipality, encouraging Jewish students to move to settlements on land Israel recently seized from Palestinians. Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) announces a boycott of CB Hillel, as long as the organization continues to support settler Zionism.
The group Hillel is hosting, the Jerusalem Municipality, demolished a residential building in al-Bustan, East Jerusalem, displacing two Palestinian households, according to a United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs report from September 18. The Jerusalem Municipality also intends to demolish dozens of Palestinian housing units in al-Bustan. We condemn these demolitions as part of a sustained campaign of genocide against the Palestinians living in occupied East Jerusalem.
On October 6th, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gir shared footage of himself sitting in a bulldozer in occupied East Jerusalem and boasting about the demolition of Palestinian homes.
"CB Hillel's collaboration with the Jerusalem Municipality makes clear what many Jewish students on our campus have known for years: Columbia/Barnard Hillel would rather platform and encourage violent Israeli settler-colonialism than create a welcoming religious space for all," said a spokesperson for Columbia JVP. "As a Jewish student, I am disgusted Columbia has allowed Hillel to platform an organization actively displacing Palestinians, and demand that the University not only create a space where anti-Zionist Jewish students feel comfortable and welcome, but drop Columbia/Barnard Hillel once and for all."
While Columbia/Barnard Hillel claims to be a pluralistic space for Jewish life, its support of Zionism and normalization of …

When you offer a bare bones, factual description of what Guilfoyle has been up to, it sounds absolutely insane. But here we are: America's government under the Trumps. People of Greece, if you are listening, we are sorry. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/stop-paper...
Here is what happened: the former girlfriend of the President’s son asked an aspiring Republican politician for $100,000 to settle her credit card bill right before her Senate confirmation for an Ambassadorship, which she seems to have been awarded as a break-up present from the Trump family. (The son has since married, with the celebrations partially financed by a Russian oligarch with ties to Putin). She had previously received $300,000 from the donor for what seem to be largely unfulfilled promises of political favors.

As Ambassador to Greece, she has been pushing other countries to do business with an oil-and-gas lobbyist who has been attending her official meetings, and suggesting that the US could bring down the Greek government any time they wanted.

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

So, the thought is that after issuing a fraudulent arrest warrant stating that petitioner’s information was part of the system when it was not and indicating that he could be biometrically identified even though they had not collected the information to make a positive match, Cuni attempted to reconcile these falsehoods by subsequently collecting the information, adding it to those systems and, after issuing the warrant, searching the databases again to “find” him.
