Since the student movement for Palestinian liberation gained momentum this spring, universities and politicians have unleashed brutal police forces on campuses across the country. At the City College of New York, cops tasered and pepper-sprayed demonstrators, smashing teeth and breaking an ankle.
In keeping with American tradition, the cops are also openly embracing nationalist vigilantes. UCLA's encampment was attacked by a mob of Zionists wielding fireworks, pepper spray, wooden boards, and poles while police watched quietly from the sidelines.
The broken bones and bloodshed on campuses across America are not isolated instances of police overreach-it's business as usual for cops. Their escalating violence, enticed by university administrations and elected officials, is an attempt to shatter the increasingly powerful interfaith, interracial coalition that stands against the 'unholy alliance' of ethno-nationalist movements and their exchange of tactics, weapons, intelligence, and ideology.
Under the guise of 'safety,' the police exist to stifle domestic dissent against a racial capitalist system that seeks to consume us all.
