Peace For Israel And Palestine! Free All Israeli Hostages!
Help Innocent Palestinian Civilians!
Civilians everywhere: women, children, old people, off-limits. Geneva Conventions / International Court Of Justice Orders Israel To Halt Assault On Rafah PBS NewsHour-Videos
Israel is ordered, to halt specific military operations as well as to open the Rafah crossing and other crossings and allow access to international fact-finding missions.
This is a legally binding and very specific ruling. “Israel’s assault against Rafah must stop immediately,” to prevent genocide from being committed, The International Court Of Justice-Ruled, Friday May 17th, 2024 War Crimes / Rafah News

Peace Is What We Want To Accomplish! Two Wrongs, Don't Make A Right. We are all concerned and saddened, for the Palestinian civilians caught in this awful war. Current Daily Death Rate In Gaza / Israel-Gaza War In Maps And Charts-Live Tracker Al Jazeera Just as we are saddened by the massacre of innocent Israli people, on Oct 7, in Israel.
A Protest-Demonstration Is A Public Expression Of, Objection, Disapproval, Or Dissent Towards An Idea, Or Action. Typically, A Political One. Protests Are Important For Democracy.
My original idea for this diary was as an, “How To.” Being 17 in 1967, protesting is one of my specialties.
Having a BA in Sociology, Minors in Philosophy, Media And Every Minor Available. Including 18 Graduate Credits In ESL. I went to college for over 7 years. Undergraduate, with financial aid. I guess the gov’t got their money’s worth with me. Therefore, I for sure, qualify to join in this Demonstration. And I Always Will!
I’ve been watching the current news. And I always try to stay knowledgeable about what’s going on in Israel and Palestine. I have been hoping for Peace with Israel and Palestine for many years! Then those “crazies-hamas” started this with their massacring innocent Israelis! Stupid people like hamas and yes, netanyahoo, are the worst! A bad person can reform, but a stupid one, they’re mostly gonna be stupid forever!

It’s Obvious A Certain Politically Motivated Element Is Trying To Discredit These Protesters And Their Demonstrations. Things were going too well for this protest. ie Columbia University said, be peaceful and you can stay. Next day, the agitators arrived. NBC News - NYC Police Say, Outside Agitators Are Co-Opting Columbia Protests. ABC News
UNC too. So, some students put up a Palestinian flag. Wasn’t like they disrespected the American flag. Again agitators, start a fight. Cops arrive, chaos!
Student Protesters, Outside Agitators-aka-Strike Breakers. 50% Of All Arrested Are Not Students-They Are Outside Agitators. NYPD commissioner Edward Caban referred to those people not affiliated with the Universities, as professional outsiders, external actors and individuals-not affiliated with either the institutions or campuses. He said the outsiders were working to escalate the situation and exploiting peaceful protests.
At City College of New York, the majority of people arrested, were not students. 68 of the 170 people arrested, or 40%, were students. Hannah Hudnall, USA Today
Whomever, brought in agitators, planned disruption. They always do. This brings Police and chaos. Paid Protesters - Jobs/Crowds On Demand
The rhetoric, that I’m seeing, on some news, tries framing the narrative to somehow blame the Jewish students. With the bs, new twist. “Supposedly, Palestinian students are threatening and hostile. Saying, Jewish students are afraid.” When actually; both groups, Palestinian and Jewish students, are protesting in solidarity, side by side. “Divide and Conquer.” Another old trick. Both these, Jewish and Palestinian students are all friends. They’ve gone to school together for years.
These Demonstrations Represent Students Protesting Together. To Get Help; For Palestinian Civilians, Israel’s Hostages And A Permanant, Ceasefire! Many Jewish Students Are Demonstrating Together In Unity, With The, Peace For Palestine Students. I saw videos of students with flags. Jewish flags, Palestinian flags, American flags. All three flags should fly together!
Those “Outside Agitators;” Cannot, Diminish The Content-Substance, Of These Students Protest! This Cause, Is Now Being Heard World-Wide. Palestine And Israel, Both, Need Help! These College Students Have Generated A Ton Of Publicity About This Crisis. And No One Can Diminish That! Those Troublemaker-Outside Agitators Have Given This Cause The Attention It Needs.
It’s Not Too Late To Save This Protest! Students Protesting Is A Positive Cause Of Action. Protest Movements
Students, Educators And Supporters Should Advance To A New Form Of Demonstrating. A New Program Of Protest. Public Forums-Well Publicized Open Discussions. Even with classes ending for the semester there are still many summer students. Then in the fall protests could continue but as controlled environments with the school’s involvement. Maybe even create some new classes regarding peaceful resolutions worldwide. Help for starving nations, and so many, issues facing humanity. Doctors Without Borders (Gaza)
This is the time for Students and School Administrations to engage together and in unity, as a serious opportunity for Media attention, regarding this ongoing Israel-Gaza, crisis. This Is What Academic Institutions And Learning Does And Are About. Protest! But Do It In An Organized Way. Work With The School Authorities. Use their academic connections. Get their involvement and support. The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education. Dr Rev Martin Luther King Jr
Use; Calm, Clear, Communication. Showing Unity And Peaceful, Shared, Common Purpose. A group which shares a common. purpose that structures their relationships and interactions. Define Your Goals, Objectives; Help For Palestinian People. Free All Hostages. Peace For Israel And Palestine. No Deviating From That Message. Clear Communication Keeps Agitators and Trolls From Spreading False Stories.
These Colleges have large auditoriums and other places to gather. In venues like that, students can show id and outsiders cannot get in, to interrupt or cause problems. Call the legitimate media. Have them attend meetings of like-minded peaceful people. Form Student Committees. Meet With Government officials, etc. Inform a friendly press of all events. Get as much good publicity as possible! This is the chance for open discussion, generating, introducing ideas and action for resolving this Gaza, war conflict. In a constructive, rational manner. If the UN can’t do the job, young people, will do it. Create a media ruckus. But do so in a calm, quiet, intelligent manner. Show them, you all didn’t get into those schools, because you’re dumb or anything. In Other words, annoy the heck out of them!

University Of California-Riverside, Divests From Israel And Ends Study Abroad Programs. I wonder how many of these schools will divest from Israel? Regardless, this Student protest is certainly getting a lot of attention.
This Post Is My Way Of Showing-Giving Support For These Students Protesting, To Succeed. So That They Can Get This Urgent, Important Message Out There, For Everyone To See And Hear. Protest Tips and Resources
Apparently, even after all these months of fighting, few people, were hearing and understanding the tragedy, of this humanitarian crisis! Both for Israel and Palestine. This latest catastrophe and wars between Israel and their neighbors, has been going on for years and is not, one sided. It affects all. Now, with all the attention these students are creating, hopefully, someone will hear it and do something to help them all. Regarding the Palestinians and the Jewish people in Israel, Historically and ongoing; it’s been, a continuing disaster, on all sides! All, victims! - People of Peace Kossack AliceT4

From my research I see that some media are totally criticizing this protest. Denouncing; the Peace For Palestine protesters. Calling them, hostile and anti-sematic and accusing them, of being hamas supporters. Typical. When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the oppressor. Socrates. Don’t Believe What You’re Being Told About “Campus Antisemitism.” Jonathan Ben-Menachem Columbia Univ Student Apr 23, 2024
The war against Gaza’s civilian population has been the wrong thing all along. Israel should have concentrated any resources, on finding hamas and destroying their capabilities. Not, fight a war against civilians! And from the start it’s totally, gotten way out of hand!
Yes, Someone Should Be Protesting-The Treatment Of The Palestinian Civilians Caught In The Middle Of All This! ie Israeli Airstrike On Rafah Tent Camp Kills 45 Palestinians. May 27, 2024. Palestinians Flee Areas Of Rafah As Blasts Heard In Streets Youtube
Protesting; Organized And Orchestrated, In A Peaceful, Intelligent Way. Highlighting The Issues. That, The Israeli And Palestinian People Need Help Now! Help For The Innocent Palestinians Caught In The Middle Of This War! Free Hostages, Long Needed-Lasting Peace For Israel And Palestine. Peace For Everyone, Everywhere! This, Should Be The Students Message.

My Father was Jewish. His Mother’s parents, (my Grandmother), she and her sisters came to the US from Latvia 1880’s. My Grandmother’s Father, My Great-Grandfather, was an Orthodox Rabbi, in Latvia. My Jewish Grandfather came from Russia all by himself. He had a brother already in US. He worked as a Bookbinder, in an unheated warehouse on 10th Ave in NYC. Standing all day, binding books with glue from a hot glue pot. Not even a bench to sit on.
My Mother was Irish. Her parents came to the US around 1900. My Grandfather Mike, worked on the Jersey City railroad. Unloading boxcars with a big hook. He and his fellow workers froze in the winter and sweltered in the summer. My Mother’s words.

Student Protestors Launch Hunger Strike For Gaza At Princeton University. NJ Patch News May 3, 2024 Over a dozen faculty members from Princeton University-NJ, joined pro-Gaza Hunger Strikers For 24 Hours. “Our day-long solidarity fast, is a small effort-action, compared to the endeavors of our students, who are undertaking this strike to show their solidarity with the Palestinian people of Gaza and the West Bank, who are being subjected to a forced famine and genocidal assault."

“I'll Be Everywhere.”
Wherever you can look. Wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there.
Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there.
I'll be in the way guys yell, when they're mad.
I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build, I'll be there, too. Tom Joad, Grapes Of Wrath. I saw this film in Media class. It’s a real “tearjerker.” We cried all the way through from start to finish.

Rallies / Speeches Rallies are public gatherings of people with common concerns. Politicians often hold them for supporters and media, but they’re also a form of activism. They often occur before a march, which gives participants time to arrive, mingle, and learn what the march is about. Speeches are often held at rallies, too, but they can take place in other contexts like conferences, classrooms, and seminars. Both rallies and speeches seek to raise awareness of issues, inspire people to take action, and connect communities, which is one of the most important steps for effective change.
Boycotts Are designed to economically impact an “objective,” like a business engaging in exploitative practices. They’re most successful when large groups of people participate. ie I stopped eating grapes in the sixties in solidarity with the farm workers and forgot to ever buy them again. Finally a few years ago I started buying grapes again. United Farm Workers of America (UFWA) / United Farm Workers Of America New Immigration Process / An American Hero The Biography of César E Chávez
Strikes When workers are subjected to unfair or dangerous work conditions, low wages, and other issues, they may refuse to work when negotiations fail. This refusal is known as a “strike.” Strikes were a feature of the Industrial Revolution as there were few work protections. Many countries made strikes illegal to deter workers from engaging in them. While strikes are most associated with businesses, they’re also used to pressure governments to change certain policies.
Voting-Activism Voting activists help people register, advocate for better civic education, and work to make the voting process easier to access and understand. Activists can also work on expanding voter rights and lobbying for changes to existing voter laws. The right to vote is one of the most important foundations for democracy, so many activists integrate voting activism into whatever issues they’re focusing on. Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense In America-EveryTown-Demand A Seat.
Social Media Activism Online Protests Also known as “hashtag activism.” Social media activism can raise awareness of issues, organizations and strategies. Using; posts, graphics, videos and more. The reach of social media activism became clear in 2020 with the hashtag “Black Lives Matter.” According to data from Pew Research, the hashtag was used over 47 million times on Twitter/X between May 26 and June 7. Is reach the same as impact? Unlike donations or on-the-ground activism, the real-world impact of social media activism is very difficult to measure. When paired with other strategies, however, social media activism is a very effective way to share information, broaden an issue’s reach, and mobilize support. The first step is engagement, and while many people won’t go further than sharing posts, others will take what they’ve learned offline. Note To Texas-Take The Money!
Mutual Aid Many types of activism focus on raising awareness, but mutual aid is one of the most direct forms of action. It begins with people deciding to work together, collaborate resources and use their support outside of traditional systems. Mutual aid is a direct response to inequities and systemic failures. Community gardens, food banks, free healthcare clinics, tenant unions and community relief networks are just a few examples of mutual aid. Networks tend to be very localized and community-led, but most mutual aid activists believe in expanding their reach whenever they can and emphasizing solidarity across geography and identity.
