By The circulating news this week of April 26 sparked countless conversations and is expected to continue this upcoming week. To keep yourself in the loop, we have compiled the news for you.
“Pro-Palestinian Protests Sweep US College Campuses Following Mass Arrests at Columbia”
If there is any generation that deserves praise for their outstanding bravery, it’s this generation by far. The resilience and unity displayed by students at Columbia University and beyond who are standing against complicity in genocide and doxing of students are commendable. Their heartfelt protests serve as a poignant reminder that as voices rise in unison against injustice and continue to echo across university grounds, we’re not just showing resistance but also beacons of hope, igniting a burning desire for change that transcends institutional boundaries.
“Supplemental Bill Becomes Law, Provides Billions in Aid for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan”
This bill just shows how the Biden Administration has no remorse or shame as it keeps its hands soaked in the blood of innocent civilians. As Biden said in the briefing that followed his signing ceremony, “It continues America’s leadership in the world.” The world has had enough of the United States positioning itself as the harbinger of peace and democracy because there is no true freedom in this world — let alone the country that perpetuates all its hideous actions in the name of human rights.
“Malala Yousafzai Confirms Support for Palestine After Backlash Over Musical With Hillary Clinton”
While Malala is facing criticism over teaming up with Hillary Clinton, let us not forget that Malala’s vision is to advocate for the rights of women and girls in Pakistan, Palestine, the United States, and beyond. Teaming up with Clinton for the purpose of spotlighting the shared struggle of American women who are trying to practice their rights to vote is not an endorsement of Clinton’s views on Palestine.
“Dangerous Language Bans at Pro-Palestine Camp in Berlin”
Not only does Berlin ban Hebrew in protests but also Gaeilge, the national language of Ireland and one of the official languages of the EU. At this point, Germany, if you are being pressured into taking this unequivocally outrageous stance, blink three times.
“University Students in Cairo, Sydney Launch Protests for Gaza Amid Crackdown in US”
Seeing that the news stories circulating this week of April 26 are mostly about students championing the protests on university campuses, one cannot help but reflect on how Palestine could bring the peoples of the world to act in unison — something we do not see every day.
