Columbia University Could Dismantle Israeli Apartheid 🗣️🔥
Ask yourself, why is a student movement from one college campus receiving so much media attention?
Why are politicians, even the PRESIDENT, commenting on this movement?
It’s because the Zionists are about to suffer a major defeat that will dismantle their occupation and apartheid in Palestine.
Here’s why:
Columbia University, like most universities, has an investment portfolio funded by a mixture of student tuition, angel donations, and state government matching programs.
These funds are used to invest in big banks, big tech, big oil, and the war machine.
Regarding the occupation of Palestine, investment portfolios often invest in companies like HP, which sustain the racist Israeli apartheid system through its biometric identification systems used at the illegal checkpoints.
They also invest in Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman and others, which produce the weapons being used to slaughter innocent civilians right now in Gaza.
These investments are worth tens of millions of dollars, if not hundreds of millions, and help make the illegal occupation of Palestine and the wholesale slaughter of civilians not only sustainable but incredibly profitable.
There is a dire need for these universities to end their complicity in these human rights violations.
Columbia has divested before.
There is a precedent for divestment.
Columbia and other universities have already divested from South African Apartheid and fossil fuel companies.
However, it was not an easy process.
It took years of organizing and even student occupations of campus property to force the administration to do the right thing.
The Zionists are deeply concerned about this because they know this is the exact path human rights activists took to dismantle support for South African apartheid.
They are fighting a desperate last battle to prevent this from happening, as evidenced by every media outlet being used to amplify Zionist rhetoric about these activities.
If Columbia divests, every other campus in the country will likely follow suit.
This is a significant moment in our history, and the Columbia students must be supported with everything we’ve got.

Here’s where the war currently stands and where it might be heading next
Let’s start by remembering what each party wants
Hezb has declared that they want a ceasefire and an end to the genocide in Gaza
Israel wants Hezbollah to change these conditions for ceasefire, negotiate separately from Gaza, and retreat behind the Litani River.
Israel is asking Hezbollah to do something it cannot reasonably do without appearing weak
They can’t appear to be abandoning the people of Gaza nor can they go back on what they have clearly stated as an immovable objective : end the genocide
And retreating behind the Litani River would destroy Hezb reputation as a formidable force, tantamount to suicide.
Israel on the other hand can end the genocide without appearing weak. Gaza is completely destroyed. Thousands have left Gaza and tens of thousands , if not hundreds of thousands, have been killed.
So there is a way for Israel to declare success, no matter how grotesque it would be, in Gaza.
They wanted revenge for Oct 7th. They got it.
But Israel won’t do this. The ball is in their court. They have now moved beyond the initial objectives of destroying Gaza, “freeing the hostages”, and taking revenge for Oct 7th.
Israel kicked into war time gear a year ago. Justifying the human and financial capital for this isn’t easy. It isn’t often that your population is ready and willing to deal with the inconvenience of war.
So Israel has decided to extend this war as long as possible to maximize the potential benefits.
Hezbollah has served as a legitimate threat to Israeli interests for decades.
