YESTERDAY I PHONED AND LEFT A MESSAGE FOR THE PRINCIPLE OF MCGILL. I SAID ITS HAMAS THATS GOT THE HOSTAGES. WHY WOULD USE PROTEST ISRAEL AND NOT THE ISLAMIC COCKROACHES. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
Update from McGill - 29-4-24 - 7h00 - Mise à jour de McGill-Staff | 29 Apr 2024
The situation on the lower field of McGill University’s downtown campus has shifted significantly. The number of individuals who have set up tents on campus has tripled since Saturday. We have become aware that many of them, if not the majority, are not members of the McGill community.Last night we saw video evidence of some people using unequivocally antisemitic language and intimidating behaviour, which is absolutely unacceptable on our campuses. We condemn this in the strongest possible terms and will act quickly to investigate.McGill has been steadfast in its support of the rights of our campus community to freedom of expression and freedom of peaceful assembly, with the understanding that these must be exercised within the bounds of McGill’s policies as well as the law.We have been clear that these encampments violate both.The University has been in communication with lawyers retained by McGill students in the encampment, to discuss conditions in place to ensure safety as well as a timeline to remove the tents.Late in the day yesterday, we were informed through their lawyers that the students have refused to carry on these discussions and did not bring any proposals or suggestions to further the dialogue. They have instead indicated that they intended to remain on campus indefinitely.Our senior leadership team is meeting now to discuss next steps regarding this matter and will provide an update on our decision within short order.
Update on the situation on campus / Le point sur la situation sur le campus-Staff | 28 Apr 2024-This message is sent on behalf of Fabrice Labeau, Deputy Provost (Student Life and Learning)-Dear members of the McGill community,
I am writing to provide an update on yesterday’s news that a group of individuals had set up tents on the lower field of McGill’s downtown campus. The protest is ongoing and as of this afternoon has been peaceful. Although our open campuses welcome the public for many authorized activities, the University is private property. While members of the McGill community have the right to freedom of expression and assembly within the bounds of University policy, procedures and the law, erecting tents without approval violates our policies and the law. Our top priority is ensuring the health and safety of our community by minimizing the risk of escalation and any potential harm that may ensue. That is why we have chosen to engage in discussions with lawyers retained by McGill students in the encampment to arrive at a swift resolution.In the meantime, McGill’s security team is closely collaborating with Montreal police (SPVM) to ensure the ongoing safety of the McGill community and of those protesting on the lower field. As the senior leadership team continues to monitor the situation, our response to any protest, demonstration, or occupation is always guided by our existing University operating procedures and policies. While we respond as quickly as possible, our actions must take into account an array of unique circumstances, including an assessment of the immediate risks to safety.We recognize that the situation is evolving and we will continue to provide rapid updates throughout. Thank you so much for your understanding and patience. Sincerely, Fabrice Labeau-Deputy Provost (Student Life and Learning) On behalf of the Emergency Operations Centre Rapid Response Group

Students camping out on the McGill University campus in solidarity with Palestinians for a second day say they won't go anywhere until the university divests from funds with ties to weapons manufacturers, commercial banks, technology firms and other companies they say are "complicit in upholding the apartheid regime of Israel."Some students slept at the encampment overnight, while others left and came back in the morning. They held Palestinian flags and signs that read "McGill funds genocide" and "McGill, you have blood on your hands." The encampment of about 20 tents was struck after students launched similar protests on campuses across the United States.Two student groups, McGill Hunger Strike for Palestine and Students for Justice in Palestine, released a database earlier this month listing 50 companies that the university invests in that the groups say have "links to the ongoing Palestinian genocide." tents behind a gate covered in pro-Palestine signs on McGill University's lawn in Montreal.Companies, banks and other organizations are included on the list for a variety of reasons, according to the database — such as investing in firms that provide weapons or technology to the Israeli military; operating in illegal settlements; investing in Israeli companies; or operating in Israel.In a statement, McGill University said it hires external fund managers to handle its investments and "does not invest directly in individual stocks or companies."Students set up 'indefinite' pro-Palestinian encampment at McGill University-But that response isn't satisfying to McGill student Umniah Tareq, who is Palestinian."I didn't know there was so much money and so much tangible investment going to the genocide of my people, the violence that happens back home," she said.Tareq said it was "empowering" to see students come together and make their voices heard. She said the university has so far ignored concerns about its investment policies brought forward by students and highlighted at protests and teach-ins.A girl wearing a keffiyeh, round glasses and a blue surgical mask in front of the encampment on McGill's lawn.Palestinian McGill student Umniah Tareq said she was shocked to learn how much money the university has invested in companies she said are involved in 'the genocide of my people.' (CBC)-CBC's interview with Tareq was interrupted by Laura Nezri, a passerby who said she wanted to "see the situation" for herself. She asked Tareq if she blamed Hamas for the violence in Gaza. Tareq responded by saying she doesn't "engage with Zionists.""I'm very concerned with what's happening. I'm very worried," Nezri said. "I'm a Jew, I'm a proud Jew and I have no shame in saying that."I think that we're at extremes. They stand up for so many different principles, and with such a loud and obnoxious voice, but when you give them your opposing opinion, they cut you off."Another student, who didn't give their name out of fear of retaliation from the university and law enforcement, told CBC the students are prepared to camp out as long as they can: "We're not going anywhere."blue tents on a lawn-Israel launched its war against Hamas after the militant group's attacks on Israel on Oct. 7. During the attacks, some 1,200 people were killed and around 250 were taken hostage, according to Israeli tallies. More than 130 hostages are still being held in Gaza, including women and children.Health authorities in Gaza say Israel's offensive in the enclave has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians — the majority of them women and children — and has led to the imminent risk of famine, the destruction of key hospitals and, according to the United Nations, the displacement of 1.9 million people.Professors show support-rofessors like Michelle Hartman, who teaches Islamic studies, and Roberta La Piana, who teaches neuroscience, came out to the encampments sporting keffiyehs and holding signs of their own."I'm here to fully support the students. I think they have extremely reasonable reasons to be here," said La Piana. "I'm hopeful McGill's administration will understand the request from the students and will commit to a more moral and ethical choice towards the divestment of all Israeli support."La Piana brought her children to the encampment, where a zone for kids to make crafts was set up. She said she and her kids made kites, in reference to Gazan poet Refaat Alareer's last poem before he was killed by an Israeli airstrike.A woman with short grey hair holds up a white kite that says "If I must die, let it bring hope." -Refaat Alareer in red writing-McGill Assistant Professor Roberta La Piana brought her kids to the encampment Sunday in solidarity with students protesting.

Here's what's happening on U.S. campuses as student protests against Israel's war in Gaza grow-University students face arrests amid calls for ceasefire, demands to stop support for Israel-The Associated Press · Posted: Apr 25, 2024 8:32 PM EDT |
A person wearing a grey hoodie and a t-shirt reading "Jews say ceasefire now" sits on the ground, surrounded by a large crowd of people, holding a cardboard protest sign.Demonstrations over Israel's war in Gaza have spread from New York's Columbia University, where police tried to break up a protest encampment last week.Some U.S. universities called in police to break up demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war, resulting in ugly scuffles and dozens of arrests, while others appeared content to wait out student protests Thursday, as the final days of the semester ticked down and graduation ceremonies loomed.Student protest have popped up on an increasing number of college campuses following last week's arrest of more than 100 demonstrators at Columbia University.The students are calling for universities to separate themselves from any companies that are advancing Israel's military efforts in Gaza — and in some cases from Israel itself.Protests on many campuses have been orchestrated by coalitions of student groups and largely act independently, though students say they're inspired by peers at other universities.UN rights chief calls for independent investigation as more bodies recovered from Gaza mass gravesAlthough many students will soon leave for the summer break, school officials worry that any ongoing protests could disrupt May commencement ceremonies, while some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus.Here is a look at the protests, and response to the demonstrations, on some U.S. campuses in recent days.Columbia set stage for national protests-Protesters set up a tent encampment at the Ivy League university in New York last week.A group of negotiators representing the protesters has been meeting intermittently with university administrators since Friday to discuss their demands, which include cutting financial ties with Israel and the companies involved in the war in Gaza, as well as amnesty for students and staff facing discipline for participating in the protests.A black, white, green and red Palestinian flag waves on a pole in front of a crowd of tents on a university campus.Those talks broke down on Tuesday night, according to the lead negotiator, Mahmoud Khalil, after he said the university threatened to send in police and the National Guard if the encampment wasn't gone by midnight.Hundreds of students and faculty quickly packed onto the lawn in the largest numbers since the start of the demonstration. Overnight, the university backtracked, giving demonstrators a 48-hour extension if the group agreed to block non-students from the encampment and remove a certain number of tents.A woman with her back turned lays flowers in front of posters of hostages affixed on a wall in front of a large protest encampment on a university campus.A spokesperson later denied that the university had suggested calling the National Guard.While there have been confrontations and allegations of antisemitic activity outside the university's gates, police described students inside the encampment as peaceful and compliant.Police first tried to clear the encampment last Thursday, when they arrested more than 100 protesters.But the move backfired, acting as an inspiration for other students across the country and motivating protesters at Columbia to regroup.
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson visited Columbia on Wednesday to meet with Jewish students over concerns about antisemitism on college campuses. Johnson said Israel and Jewish students on campus will not stand alone.A cardboard protest sign bearing the words "Staff for a free Palestine" hangs in front of a crowd of tents in a protest encampment on a university campus.Emory protest entwined with 'Cop City' activism-Atlanta police and Georgia state troopers dismantled a camp on Emory University's quadrangle Thursday morning, with Associated Press journalists counting at least 17 people detained.When officers in tactical gear began detaining people, some submitted, but others physically pushed back.Those who were detained were handcuffed with zip ties and loaded into a police transport van. Video shows officers at least once used an electrical stun gun on a protester who was handcuffed on the ground.Officers deployed rubber bullets and tear gas to break apart pro-Palestinian protests at Emory University in Atlanta. Protesters were seen struggling against officers' attempts to wrestle them to the ground and multiple people were detained by law enforcement.University police had ordered several dozen demonstrators who set up tents on the campus early Thursday morning to leave, according to Emory spokesperson Laura Diamond.She said in an email to The Associated Press that the group "trespassed" onto the private school."These individuals are not members of our community," Diamond said. "They are activists attempting to disrupt our university as our students finish classes and prepare for finals."A person in a red t-shirt faces a crowd on a university campus while holding up a protest sign reading "Emory Admin: Opposing Genocide does not equal Antisemitism."A long line of officers surrounded the encampment of about three dozen tents after 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, as protesters chanted slogans supporting Palestinians and opposing a public safety training centre being built in Atlanta.The two movements are closely entwined in Atlanta, where there has been years of "Stop Cop City" activism that has included a fringe of anarchist attacks on property and the killing by state troopers of a protester who was occupying the site.Police, protesters face off at University of Texas-The University of Texas campus was much calmer on Thursday, a day after a demonstration saw police and state troopers in riot gear and on horseback make dozens of arrests and forced hundreds of students off the school's main lawn.On Thursday, university officials pulled back the campus barricades and allowed another demonstration on the main square underneath the school's iconic clock tower in central campus.A crowd of protesters on one side of a line of shrubs faces a crowd of police in riot gear, as officers pull one demonstrator away.While the group was vocal with chants and angry shouts against Israel and campus leadership, the demonstration was far less volatile.No violence erupted as a small group of campus police watched from the steps of the tower building.Gaza grief image named World Press Photo of the Year-But on Wednesday, officers at the University of Texas at Austin aggressively detained dozens of protesters.Hundreds of local and state police — including some on horseback and holding batons — bulldozed into protesters, at one point sending some tumbling into the street.A line of protesters with some holding cardboard signs.Officers pushed their way into the crowd and made 34 arrests at the behest of the university and Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott, according to the state Department of Public Safety.Dane Urquhart, a third-year Texas student, called the police presence and arrests an "overreaction," adding that the protest "would have stayed peaceful" if the officers had not turned out in force. "Because of all the arrests, I think a lot more [demonstrations] are going to happen," Urquhart said.In a statement Wednesday night, the university's president, Jay Hartzell, said: "Our rules matter, and they will be enforced. Our University will not be occupied."After days of unrest on campus, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson denounced pro-Palestinian protesters camped out at Columbia University, accusing them of antisemitism and calling on the school's president to restore order or resign.USC cancels graduation event amid protests-The University of Southern California cancelled its main stage graduation ceremony Thursday as college officials across the U.S. worried that ongoing campus protests against the Israel-Hamas war could disrupt May commencement ceremonies.USC announced the cancellation of the May 10 ceremony a day after more than 90 protesters were arrested on campus Wednesday night for trespassing, while one person was arrested for alleged assault with a deadly weapon.The university says it will still host dozens of commencement events, including all the traditional individual school commencement ceremonies where students cross a stage and receive their diplomas.Tensions were already high after the university cancelled a planned commencement speech by the school's pro-Palestinian valedictorian, citing safety concerns.A group of security officers surround a man on the ground, with one officer on the left putting his foot on the man's body as another holds his arm.Northwestern changes rules to block encampments-Northwestern University hastily changed its student code of conduct Thursday morning to bar tents on its suburban Chicago campus as anti-war student activists set up an encampment similar to Pro-Palestinian demonstrations at colleges nationwide.Groups including Jewish Voice for Peace and Educators for Justice in Palestine said the encampment on the Evanston, Ill., campus was "a safe space for those who want to show their support of the Palestinian people."'I'm scared': As hope fades for a hostage deal, a former captive fears for her husband still held in Gaza-Dozens participated as University President Michael Schill issued an email saying the university had enacted an "interim addendum" to its student code to bar tents, among other things, and warned of disciplinary actions including suspension, expulsion and criminal charges."The goal of this addendum is to balance the right to peacefully demonstrate with our goal to protect our community, to avoid disruptions to instruction and to ensure university operations can continue unabated," Schilling said.No arrests had been made by Thursday mid-afternoon.The swell of anti-war protests and encampments on U.S. campuses has lead to multiple arrests as police and institutions crack down fearing for student safety.
