STATEMENT ON
ZIONIST
REPRESSION LAWSUIT
DURING THIS
TIME OF HEIGHTENED REPRESSION,
PEOPLE'S CITY COUNCIL (PCC] AND NATIONAL STUDENTS FOR JUSTICE IN PALESTINE [NSJP] ARE BEING SUED UNDER THE "KU KLUX KLAN ACT." THE SUIT, FILED ON BEHALF OF LOCAL ZIONIST REACTIONARIES LIKE ELI TSIVES THROUGH ATTORNEYS BACKED BY THE LOUIS BRANDEIS CENTER, ALLEGES THAT NSJP AND PCC ENTERED INTO A "CONSPIRACY" TO ORGANIZE THE APRIL 2024 UCLA PALESTINE SOLIDARITY
ENCAMPMENT WITH THE PURPOSE OF DEPRIVING JEWISH PEOPLE OF THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS ON UCLA CAMPUS. A JUDGE RULED AGAINST OUR MOTION TO DISMISS THIS LAWSUIT LATE LAST YEAR AND OUR SUBSEQUENT APPEAL IN APRIL, ALLOWING THIS CASE TO MOVE FORWARD. WE HAVE RETAINED A SOLID LEGAL TEAM TO HELP US DEFEAT THIS LAWSUIT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE NEED TO RAISE FUNDS FOR LITIGATION COSTS TO SEE THE PROCESS ALL THE WAY THROUGH.THIS DEVELOPMENT COMES AS ATTACKS ON US AND OTHERS WITHIN THE MOVEMENT CONTINUE TO RAMP UP.
EARLIER THIS YEAR AT THE 10TH ISRAELI-AMERICAN COUNCIL (IAC) NATIONAL SUMMIT, ADAM MILSTEIN - AN EX-IOF MULTI-MILLIONAIRE WHO FOUNDED AND FUNDS THE NOTORIOUS CANARY MISSION AND IS A MAJOR DONOR TO THE BRANDEIS CENTER - NAMED PCC AS AN ENEMY THAT MUST BE ATTACKED AS PART OF ZIONISTS' AGGRESSIVE AND OFFENSIVE STRATEGY TO TARGET GROUPS CRITICAL OF ISRAEL. [SEE NEXT SLIDE]. WITHIN THIS CONTEXT, IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT DESPITE THE LAWSUIT'S FLIMSY CLAIMS OF VICTIMHOOD WHICH RELY ON THE INDISCRIMINATE CONFLATION OF ANTISEMITISM AND ANTIZIONISM, THIS IS NOT TRULY ABOUT THE
"DEFENSE" NOR "DEPRIVATION" OF THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS AT ALL. RATHER, AS MILSTEIN HIMSELF ADMITS, IT IS YET ANOTHER THINLY VEILED ATTEMPT TO WEAPONIZE THE LEGAL SYSTEM TO INTIMIDATE US INTO SILENCE AND INCAPACITATE ANY FORM OF RESISTANCE AGAINST THE ZIONIST ENTITY'S ONGOING GENOCIDE OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

Vince Staples calling the name of George Jackson on Tiny Desk (a week before Black August) is legendary. My 🐐🐐🐐
Following the second song of his set, Vince Staples does a call out. "I just wanna see something. If you know who George Jackson is, in the crowd, raise your hand!" The Long Beach emcee goes on: "What about Bobby.
Hutton?" No one raises their hand. He continues saying the names of slain members of the Black Panther Party, also mentioning Larry Kimmons, who was shot and killed by a Pepperdine University security guard in 1969.
The song "Go! Go! Gorilla" details the Black community's fear of law enforcement. It was a tense moment that carried throughout the entire Tiny Desk concert.
