This you? The former naval officer who fought in Gaza who told Fox News he was "truly afraid" to walk on campus due to anti-Israel protests, claiming "I'm terrified"??

They call us antisemitic for standing against genocide. When that doesn't work, they lie, and lie again. We won't let these disgusting lies deter us. Disclose, Divest, Drop charges!
I'm a Jew, a faculty member at northeastern, and I visited the Gaza solidarity camp each day. Many student protesters there were also Jews. Northeastern admin is justifying arresting their own students by claiming they were chanting "kill the Jews," which is a blatant lie.

Stop perpetuating the false narrative that this is a Jewish vs Palestinian/Arab/Muslim issue. It’s an issue of supporting/opposing a govt that’s actively committing genocide and is guilty of countless violations of international human rights law in Palestine & the broader region.

As Jewish MIT students, staff, & faculty, we find the involvement of the Israeli government—a government that is actively committing genocide and starving hundreds of thousands of children and adults—in our school’s research to be an abhorrent exploitation of “academic freedom”

This Tuesday, the presidents of Harvard, MIT and UPenn will be called to testify in front of Congress to “answer for [the] mishandling” of “countless examples of antisemitic demonstrations on college campuses.” We say criticism of the Israeli government isn't antisemitic.

You frame the encampment as a magnet for trouble, placing responsibility for any potential external violence or escalation on us. If MIT is serious about protecting its students from trouble, it should be more engaged toward meeting our demands.

Your statement completely ignores the fact that the encampment exists because MIT refuses to divest from the Israeli Ministry of Defense and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

To claim that the encampment is the one creating an unsafe campus for anyone on MIT campus is absurd: MIT is making its Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and yes, even Jewish students less safe because of its insistence in taking the money of a genocidal government.

After many meetings w/you, Pres Kornbluth, where you sympathized with our cause and our Jewish experiences, we are distraught that you and your comms dept have erased pro-Palestinian Jewish presence and dismissed the encampment as a "situation" w/no apparent cause or goal.
