"... The issue of transparency is of particular
importance to students at Emory, with an endowment of $11bn – the
11th-highest in the US, according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
Students across the metro area – not just at Emory – have also long been protesting against a direct connection they see between policing in Atlanta and Israel: the Georgia International Law Enforcement Exchange (Gilee), a non-profit program that sends US police officers to Israel and vice versa, for training and other activities.
The Rev Keyanna Jones,
a Baptist minister and part of an Atlanta-based faith coalition against
Cop City, was asked by Emory student organizers to speak about this and
other connections on 25 April, as part of the launch of a protest
encampment.
Jones arrived at Emory and had barely gotten through her remarks at a press conference when officers from Emory, Atlanta and Georgia
state patrol rushed the quad. “I looked around and saw pepper balls and
rubber bullets being shot,” she said. “I saw three young women in
hijabs. One was paralyzed; she could not move … I went over and told
them, ‘If you don’t move, you’re going to get hurt!’”
One of the women kept screaming, “What is happening?” Jones recalled. Finally, the three ran away from the quad.
At the time,
it was probably the fastest shutting down of a student protest
encampment of the dozens occurring across the country. It also was
probably the first in which police used Tasers on protesters...."

‘Our struggles are connected’: Atlanta protesters link Cop City to Gaza war
Campus protesters say issue of police training center and its connections to Israel has been on their minds for months

The student-led protests at Emory University in Atlanta
have distinguished themselves from others occurring across the US in at
least one way: protesters are seeking transparency about and divestment
from Israel but also from a $109m police training center known as “Cop
City”.

Israeli
forces have carried out at least eight attacks on aid convoys and
premises in Gaza since October, despite aid groups providing their
locations to Israeli authorities in advance, according to a new report.
Human Rights Watch said in a report on Tuesday that the eight Israeli attacks killed at least 15 people, including two children, and wounded at least 16 others.
They included attacks on World Central Kitchen, Doctors Without
Borders (MSF), the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa), Medical
Aid for Palestinians (MAP), the International Rescue Committee and the
American Near East Refugee Aid Organisation.
In an Israeli air strike on MAP and the International Rescue Committee on 18 January, UN investigators who visited the attack concluded it was likely carried out with a US-made munition with parts supplied by the UK. The strike wounded three people.
On 1 April, an Israeli attack
on the World Central Kitchen convoy killed six international aid
workers and their Palestinian driver, which Israel apologised for and
described as a "mistake".
As with all of the eight
attacks documented by Human Rights Watch, World Central Kitchen had
provided Israeli authorities with GPS coordinates of its personnel in
advance, but was still attacked.
"Israel's killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers was
shocking and should never have happened under international law,"
said Belkis Wille of Human Rights Watch. "Israel's allies need to
recognise that these attacks that have killed aid workers have happened
over and over again, and they need to stop."
'Cannot rely on deconfliction'
According to the UN, 254 of its aid workers have been killed since
the war on Gaza began on 7 October. At least 169 Unrwa facilities have
been impacted by Israel's war in 368 separate incidents.
Workers from 11 humanitarian groups and agencies told Human Rights
Watch that Israeli attacks have forced them to either suspend
activities, reduce their staff or restrict their work in other ways.
"I can't risk sending more staff into Gaza because I cannot rely on
deconfliction as a way of keeping them safe," a senior employee at one
organisation attacked by Israeli forces said.
'Bullshit process and result': US report on Israel's Gaza conduct met with disappointment
International law prohibits indiscriminate attacks targeting civilian
objects, like aid convoys, that are expected to cause harm to civilians
in a way disproportionate to any military advantage.
In the genocide case against Israel, the International Court of
Justice in January issued a provisional ruling ordering the country to
enable the entry of urgent humanitarian aid into Gaza.
But since the ruling, Israel has been found to be defying the order by directly bombing aid convoys and impeding aid deliveries through delays and denials of entry.
"On one hand, Israel is blocking access to critical lifesaving
humanitarian provisions and on the other, attacking convoys that are
delivering some of the small amount that they are allowing in," Wille
said. "Israeli forces should immediately end their attacks on aid
organizations, and there should be accountability for these crimes."
Israeli civilians have also blocked
entry of aid into the enclave, bringing aid trucks to a standstill by
holding sit-ins, laying down large rocks and even attacking vehicles
directly.

Israeli insanity convinces select Americans who were raised with full
and equal rights to hate, harass, impoverish and kill Arabs in
Israel/Palestine.
Israeli insanity convinces Israelis, fully subsided by Israel AND
America, to go out and uproot Arab olive trees & steal Arab land-
rights- and freedom... day after day after day for decades now, ALL
fully funded by the American government and protected by most of our
mainstream media and commercial entertainment enterprises.
Israeli insanity is dangerous and wrong: Since 1948 Palestinians have
been pushed into forced exile and crowded refugee camps that are bombed
and invaded by Israel- armed by America.
Our Congress adds insult to injury by cutting funds to UNWRA, the aid
agency created by the United Nations to help Palestinians who were
forcibly displaced from their ancestral homes and lands in 1948 by
invading armed Zionist terrorists.
Israeli insanity funds Jewish privilege creating apartheid and escalating injustice in The Holy Land.
Please stop aiding and abetting Israeli insanity. Full Stop.

borders, the border jumping convoluted Israeli-made Apartheid wall, maps
of Jewish-only Settlements and IDF Checkpoints in the West Bank,
Jerusalem, and Gaza.
FYI the Israel/Palestine conflict did not start on Oct 7th 2023.
To be fair and honest you must go back to 1917 when the British
Empire and Occupation promoted the Balfour Declaration to create a
"national home for the Jewish people"
in Palestine. At the time Palestine was part of the Ottoman
Empire and there was a small Arab Jewish population living
there, living in peace along with Muslims and Christians.
Fast forward to 1948 when following
the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust, modern man made Israel was
created. Israel was not created peacefully or by consensus with
the Arab residents who had lived there for eons. Israel was
created by invading Zionist terrorists who murdered many
indigenous Arabs- fragmenting families, and pushing millions of
Palestinians into forced exile.
The
UN Mediator for Palestine, Count Folke Bernadotte, believed that
the Palestinians displaced had a right to return to their homes
and wrote several UN reports to that effect.
"It
would be an offence against the principles of elemental justice
if these innocent victims of the conflict were denied the right
to return to their homes while Jewish immigrants flow into
Palestine, and, indeed, at least offer the threat of permanent
replacement of the Arab refugees who have been rooted in the
land for centuries."

group Lehi, a Zionist terrorist
organization, commonly known in the West as the Stern Gang

Anadolu Agency]
The Palestinian death toll from Israel’s
ongoing offensive on the Gaza Strip has surged since last October to
35,034 people, the Health Ministry in the besieged enclave said on
Sunday, Anadolu Agency reports.
At least 78,755 other people have been injured in the onslaught, the ministry added in a statement.
“Israeli attacks killed 63 people and injured 114 others in the last 24 hours,” the statement said.
“Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.
Israel has waged a brutal offensive on the
Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas
last Oct. 7 which killed some 1,200 people.
Tel Aviv has also imposed a crippling
blockade on the Gaza Strip, leaving its population, particularly
residents of northern Gaza, on the verge of starvation.
More than seven months into the conflict,
vast swathes of Gaza lay in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food,
clean water and medicine.
Israel is accused of genocide at the
International Court of Justice (ICJ). An interim ruling in January said
it is “plausible” that Tel Aviv is committing genocide in Gaza, ordering
it to stop such acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian
assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
South Africa on Friday asked the ICJ to
order Israel to withdraw from the southern city of Rafah, where more
than 1.5 million displaced people have been sheltered, as part of
additional emergency measures over the war.

On June 8, 1967, US Navy intelligence ship USS Liberty
was suddenly and brutally attacked on the high seas in international
waters by the air and naval forces of Israel. The Israeli forces
attacked with full knowledge that this was an American ship and lied
about it.
Survivors have been forbidden for 40 years to tell their
story under oath to the American public.The USS Liberty Memorial web site tells their story and is dedicated to the memory of the 34 brave men who died.
The Attack
After surveilling USS Liberty for more than nine
hours with almost hourly aircraft overflights and radar tracking, the
air and naval forces of Israel attacked our ship in international waters
without warning. USS Liberty was identified as a US naval
ship by Israeli reconnaissance aircraft nine hours before the attack and
continuously tracked by Israeli radar and aircraft thereafter. Sailing
in international waters at less than five knots, with no offensive
armament, our ship was not a military threat to anyone.
The Israeli forces attacked without warning and without attempting to
contact us. Thirty four Americans were killed in the attack and another
174 were wounded.
The ship, a $40-million dollar state-of-the-art signals intelligence
platform, was later declared unsalvageable and sold for scrap.
The Cover Up
Despite a near-universal consensus that the Israeli attack was made with full knowledge that USS Liberty
was a US Navy ship, the Johnson administration began an immediate
cover-up of this fact. Though administration officers continued
individually to characterize the attack as deliberate, the Johnson
administration never sought the prosecution of the guilty parties or
otherwise attempted to seek justice for the victims. They concealed and
altered evidence in their effort to downplay the attack. Though they
never formally accepted the Israeli explanation that it was an accident,
they never pressed for a full investigation either. They simply allowed
those responsible literally to get away with murder.
In an ongoing effort to reveal the truth about the attack, the USS Liberty Veterans Association
has filed with the Secretary of the Army in the manner prescribed by
law a detailed, fully documented Report of War Crimes describing the
circumstances of the attack on our ship and evidence that it was a crime
under international law. In accordance with international law and
treaties, the United States is obligated to investigate the allegations.
So far, the United States has declined even to acknowledge that the
report has been filed. The full text of the report can be found at http://www.gtr5.com/evidence/warcrimes.pdf
Anti-Semitism and the Anti-American Apologists
The USS Liberty Memorial web site abhors the racist
and extreme positions taken by antiSemitic, Holocaust denial,
conspiracy theorist and other such groups which often seek to identify
with us and to usurp our story as their own. We have no connection
with and do not support or encourage support from any of these groups
including National Alliance, National Vanguard, The New Order, National
Socialists, The French Connection, Liberty Lobby, American Free Press, Republic Broadcasting, USS Liberty Radio Hour, Storm Front
or other such groups. We wish harm to no one and encourage social
justice and equality for everyone; we seek only accountability for the
criminal acts perpetrated against us and can do that without help from
hate-mongers.
On the Israeli side, the group of pro-Israel, anti-American
critics of our story, while small, persists in launching loud, vicious
ad hominem attacks on anyone who attempts to discuss the deliberateness
of the attack. These anti-American apologists refuse to discuss the
facts of the case. Instead, they rely on propaganda and charge anyone who questions the Israeli position with being antiSemitic.
The Betrayal of American Veterans .
Americans who volunteer for military service effectively
write a blank check, payable to the United States of America for an
amount "up to and including my life." The United States, in turn,
promises to spend these checks responsibly. That bargain implicitly
includes a promise by the United States to protect them and to seek
retribution against anyone who harms them. In the case of USS Liberty, the United States has failed to keep its end of the bargain.

" "Heroism was the order of the day, and every man who could help, stepped up to help," said Bowen.
The attack, which left 34 Americans dead and 174 others injured --
two-thirds of the crew in total, according to a press release organized
by the Liberty Veterans Association -- has been veiled in controversy
since it happened, with survivors, and even some former senior intelligence officials, pointing to a deliberate bombardment by Israel and a subsequent U.S. dismissal of the event to pardon its ally. "

Former Congressman Paul N. “Pete” McCloskey, a longtime supporter of
Palestinian rights and USS Liberty veterans, died of congestive heart
failure peacefully at his home in Winters, California, on May 8th in the
care of his wife of forty-two years, Helen, and their five dogs. He was
96.
McCloskey was a rarity in American politics. His actions were guided
by his sense of justice, not by political ideology. He hated inequity
and did not hesitate to take on members of his own political party.
“He stood for everyone without a voice, and was especially passionate
about our environment — he was afraid of nothing or anyone who sought
to take advantage of another,” said Joe Cotchett, his law partner since
2004. “He was the epitome of a leader, as demonstrated throughout his
entire life.”
Palestine and USS Liberty
Following trips to the Middle East in the late 1970s, Pete McCloskey,
like two other Republicans, Senators Charles Percy, Congressman Paul
Findley, and independent of one another, returned with the strong
conviction that American foreign policy in the region was unbalanced and
would prove over the long run to be disastrous for US interests and for
the Palestinian people.
McCloskey and a handful of other members of Congress proposed cuts in
aid to Israel for its continuing expansion of settlements in the
Occupied Territories of the West Bank, in violation of international
law. McCloskey’s farewell speech in Congress was in support of a change
in the US’s Middle East policies to one recognizing both Israel’s
security issues and the necessity of a recognized State for the
Palestinian people.
McCloskey, who stated
publicly that Congress is “terrorized” by the Israel lobby, was one of
several people targeted by the Israel Lobby to be removed from Congress.
In the 1982 Republican primary, his opponent Pete Wilson (R-CA) made repeated, heavy-handed fund-raising appeals to pro-Israel donors.
In a 1986 article entitled “Harsh Truths, Harsher Realities,” McCloskey wrote: “The battle for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people will be won or lost in public opinion of the United States.”
He pointed out: “Public opinion in America is determined by a network
of newspapers, radio and television commentators, and organizations
which communicate with the radio, the press and television. There is no
organization today in this world that represents the Palestinians and
the PLO as a news agency. Now this is a matter which has been caused and
certainly assisted by the strength of the Jewish community in America.
The Jewish community does not want books circulated in America that are
critical of Israel. The Jewish community does not want movies made that
are critical of Israel. Every American has seen the movie, The
Holocaust, at least once every six months over the last five years. When
the Palestinians have tried to present, even on public television,
movies that reflect the treatment of Palestinians on the West Bank, they
are generally blocked by prominent Israeli sympathizers in the news
distribution media.”
In 1989, McCloskey and former Congressman Paul Findley founded the Council for the National Interest to counter the Israel Lobby and to support “Middle East policies that serve the American national interest.” An announcement stated
that current US policies caused great damage to the region and to the
United States. “Because of its generally unqualified support for Israel.
the US is viewed worldwide as the co-sponsor of Israeli policies that
hold by force of arms territories belonging to Arabs, and abuse the
basic human rights of 1.7 million Palestinians living in those
territories.”
McCloskey also at times assisted the nonprofit organization If Americans Knew.
Founder Alison Weir (also president of CNI) said: “I was honored to
call him a friend. I will always be immensely grateful for his help.”
McCloskey had also long advocated for a full investigation of Israel’s 1967 attack on a US Navy ship, the USS Liberty,
that had killed 34 American Servicemen and injured over 170. He became
pro bono attorney for the USS Liberty Veterans Association. (See video
below.)
Fifteen years after the attack, an Israeli pilot approached Liberty survivors and then held extensive interviews with McCloskey.
The senior Israeli lead pilot told McCloskey that he recognized the
Liberty as American immediately, informed his headquarters, and was told
to ignore the American flag and continue his attack. He refused to do
so and returned to base, where he was arrested.
Before his death, McCloskey and his wife co-authored a book on the Israeli attack, Betrayal of the USS Liberty, which will be released later this year.
Biography
McCloskey was born in the Southern California city of Loma Linda, to a
family with deep roots in California. His great-grandfather, orphaned
during the Irish potato famine, came to San Francisco in 1853. One
grandfather was a U.S. attorney and captain of the National Guard unit
that helped control rioting in San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake.
His maternal grandfather was mayor of San Bernardino in the early 1900s.
McCloskey attended South Pasadena High School. As Valedictorian for
his graduating class, he spoke in support of the formation of the United
Nations. He earned his bachelor’s degree in 1950 from Stanford
University, as well as his law degree in 1953, the latter interrupted by
his service in the US Marine Corps.
McCloskey joined the Marine Corps as an officer and famously led his
rifle platoon during some of the most intense fighting of the Korean
war, including six bayonet assaults. During his 10 months in North
Korea, 58 of the 61 members of his platoon were either killed or
wounded. He was awarded the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism, the
Nation’s second highest honor and the highest award given by the Marine
Corps. He was also awarded the Silver Star for bravery in combat, and
two Purple Hearts.
From 1953 to 1960, he commanded a Marine Reserve Rifle Company, and
participated in counter-insurgency training. He volunteered for the
Vietnam War, however, after a fact-finding trip to the war-torn country
in 1971, he reversed course and became an outspoken opponent of the war.
He called the bombing in Cambodia a “greater evil than we have done to
any country in the world.”
“I don’t think you can impose democracy or any system of government
through the barrel of a gun without the people resenting what you are
trying to impress on them,” he told Rob Caughlan, who produced a video
biography of McCloskey which aired on PBS entitled Leading from the
Front, which was narrated by actor, friend and fellow war veteran turned
anti-war activist Paul Newman.
“I’ve known some great men in my long life, but none that ever
matched McCloskey,” said Chuck Daly, a highly-decorated rifle platoon
commander who served with McCloskey in Korea and later became a special
assistant to President John F. Kennedy and director of the Kennedy
Museum. “Pete was one of the finest Marines in the Korean War.”
McCloskey retired from the Marine Corps Reserve in 1974 with the rank of Colonel.
McCloskey has lectured on constitutional and military ethics at the
Army War College at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and the Marine Corps Staff
College at Quantico, Virginia.
Following the Korean War, McCloskey served as Deputy District
attorney in Alameda County, then opened a law practice in 1956, which
evolved into the Silicon Valley firm of Wilson, Sonsini. He also formed a
law partnership with his old friend Lewis Butler of San Francisco.
Butler & McCloskey handled only environmental cases. Butler said the
two men made very little money, but “we saved Bay Area tidelands from a
housing tract, the town of Volcano from becoming a cement plant, Round
Valley from the proposed Corps of Engineers Dos Rios dam and the Napa
Valley from subdividing prime vineyards.”
McCloskey also served as President of the Palo Alto Bar Association
(1960), and President of the Conference of Barristers of the State Bar
(1961). In that role, he and Judge Quentin L. Kopp, (Ret) wrote Guide to
Professional Conduct for the New Practitioner, (State Bar, 1961).
McCloskey also served as Trustee of the Santa Clara Bar Association.
He has taught Legal Ethics and Political Science as a guest professor at
both Stanford University and Santa Clara Law School, as well as to
younger students at Thacher School in Ojai.
In 1967, Pete McCloskey ran for Congress in a special election held
following the death of the incumbent Congressman, defeating front-runner
child-actress Shirley Temple Black. From the beginning of his political
career, McCloskey was a Republican maverick, remaining independent of
party ideology and pressure.
Earth Day, Anti-War
A life-long back-packer and fly-fisherman, McCloskey, often referred
to as “a Teddy Roosevelt-style conservationist,” was fiercely protective
of wilderness. In 1970, along with US Senator Gaylord Nelson, he
co-founded the first Earth Day, and in 1973, co-authored the Endangered
Species Act. He served six years as Congressional Delegate to the
International Whaling Conference, and as Congressional Advisor to the
Law of the Sea Treaty Delegation under Chairmen John Stevenson and
Elliot Richardson.

Netanyahu's stated goal with Israel's war on Gaza is to destroy
HAMAS. That is a line and a lie, just like the old Zionist line and lie
"A land for a people for a people without a land". Life pre-1948 in The
Holy Land was Palestinian: Arab Christian, Muslim and Jewish
Palestinians living very civilized lives in an exceptionally beautiful
place.
HAMAS did not even exist until 1987- forty years after the West imposed
the partition plans to create Israel on the Arab world, and twenty years
after Israel usurped every inch of historic Palestine with its
(ongoing) illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
All along invading Zionists have wanted the land, but not the indigenous people of that land.
Israel has consistently ignored borders, basic human rights, and international law.
The land grabbing shenanigans and torture tactics of Zionist bigots
are only possible because "Israel-proper" finances illegal settlements,
military installations and multiple IDF checkpoints aimed at tormenting
and destroying Palestinians.
Israel wants excuses to further terrorize, displace, and destroy
Palestinians in every possible way, and Zionists want American money,
weaponry and support for this cruel
enterprise. Meanwhile corrupt politicians in America want AIPAC money
and approval.
The Zionist con-job worked for decades on U.S. but in today's online world
Israeli violence and Zionist cruelty are being live-streamed 24/7 on our
children's cell phones, skipping over the gate keepers of our major
newspapers and politicians.
Will our own democracy and established Fourth Estate survive the
decades old insidious invasion of a very foreign country that pretends
to be our friend, but really is no one's friend, including its own
Apartheid building citizens?
Awareness of The Nazi Holocaust should be a motivation to say NEVER AGAIN to Israel.

Gaza is part of the territories under military occupation by Israel

withdrawn from Gaza in 2005, it is still considered occupied territory
under international law because Israel still controls the lives of the
