There is no business as usual after over 400 days

There is no business as usual after over 400 days of genocide. Princeton’s Board of Trustees is meeting this weekend — let’s show them that we will not rest until divest. As next week’s whitewashed, genocidal “holiday” approaches, we reaffirm our commitment to ending Israel’s genocide and Princeton’s complicity. Join the call for an international university day of action for Gaza and Lebanon!

❗️At their last court appearance on Oct. 1, the judge did not accept the students’ plea deal. Princeton continues to pursue criminal charges and repress solidarity with the Palestinian liberation movement.

The Popular University Wire: From Princeton to Palestine continues political and cultural education work that developed at the Princeton encampment and built on student campaigns from the past two decades. Our writers and editors are Princeton students, alumni, and community members who coalesced through Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest, aligned against a persistent dearth of political and cultural education on Princeton’s campus and in the Princeton orbit at large. In doing so, we recognize ourselves as the ‘outside agitators,’ who are never truly so ‘outside.’ We aim to agitate, not as an end in itself, as the bad-faith use of the term implies, but rather to agitate readers to defy and deconstruct. The political education practice of deconstruction, after all, is also a process of constructing anew.

LEARN WITH US. CREATE WITH US.

Princeton University is continuing its campaign of repression. If Princeton Public Safety, Princeton Police, or university administration requests to speak with you regarding your or someone else’s engagement in student activism, decline to speak and contact PIAD.

Princeton University still refuses to call for the

Princeton University still refuses to call for the dismissal of legal charges against our students for protesting genocide. The University, the municipal prosecutor’s office, and the clearly prejudiced court held the line that these students were in violation of the law by trespassing on their own campus. The court and the prosecutor refused to consider a motion to dismiss.

PIAD stands by the students, will continue to fight for a case dismissal, and urges Princeton to call on the municipal prosecutor to drop the charges.

While these students have been disciplined, Israel has carried out a genocide for over 11 months. And Princeton has continued to profit.

No rest until divest, until a free Palestine.

Students found these posters on campus outside Spe

Students found these posters on campus outside Spelman Halls earlier today. These are the people who are against divestment from Israeli apartheid, free to spread deeply racist, violent, and dehumanizing calls for genocide.

Princeton University treated our concerns with total nonchalance. It is clear that the university does not take violent language and genocidal hate speech seriously when it comes to Palestinians.

The movement for Palestinian liberation has been demonized as violent, dangerous, and hateful. Princeton has refused to drop the charges against our students and instituted extremely repressive “protest guidelines” while the violence against Palestinians goes completely unanswered. This is why we must not rest until Palestine is free!

Meanwhile, the CPUC Resources Committee has sat on our divestment proposal and the University admin has refused to drop charges against student protestors.

Join us on Tuesday to tell Princeton University that we still will not rest until divest!”]

On June 19, 2024, Princeton Israeli Apartheid Dive

On June 19, 2024, Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest submitted a divestment proposal to the Council of the Princeton University Community Resources Committee. Our community will continue to organize until the University meets our demands.

[ID Slide 1/7: Red background with the words “DIVEST FROM GENOCIDE.” In the middle is a photo of pro-Palestinian protestors in front of Nassau Hall holding megaphones and signs which read: “Free Palestine,” “Divestment from Israel”, “Demand 3: Academic and Cultural Boycott”, “Demand 4: Cultivate Palestinian Affiliations.”

Slide 2/7: Green background with a Palestinian flag in the corner. Text reads: “On June 19, 2024, Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest submitted a divestment proposal to the Council of the Princeton University Resources Committee.”

Slide 3/7: Background is a photo of a large crowd of pro-Palestinian protestors in front of Nassau Hall holding signs and wearing keffiyehs. Text reads: “IN OUR THOUSANDS, IN OUR MILLIONS. We are a diverse group of students, faculty, staff, community organizers, and alumni. 32 organizations have endorsed our proposal. We recognize that immediate divestment is necessary.”

Slide 4/7: Green background with the words: “ISRAEL HAS VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS. Israel has committed ethnic cleansing, illegal occupation, apartheid policies, war crimes, genocide, scholasticide, and attacks on press and freedom of expression.” At the bottom is a photo of Al-Aqsa University, leveled by Israeli bombardments, pictured on February 15, 2024 by Reuters. In the center, two people walk in front of the rubble.

Slide 5/7: Background is a photo of a person’s arm holding a keffiyeh in the air. Text reads: “COMMIT TO DIVESTMENT. The University must divest from companies complicit in violations of human rights and international law in Palestine. The University must remain accountable to its stated values.”

🇵🇸 ESCALATE FOR RAFAH! DISRUPT FOR GAZA! 🇵🇸

We have shown each other and the world that we are not a moment — we are a MOVEMENT! We refuse to stand aside while the apartheid Zionist entity commits genocide against Rafah, Gaza, and Palestine with American weapons and Princeton University’s money. Our actions over the last month were just the beginning. The student intifada is here to stay. We heed the call to escalate. We urge you to take action from campus to the streets, to disrupt all parts of everyday life until Palestine is free.

WE WILL NOT REST UNTIL DIVEST. 🇵🇸❤️
