What the Dangerous Impact of Neo-McCarthyism, repression, and Censorship of Pro-Palestinian Views and Positions on Gaza and Self Determination for Palestine in Gaza and Beyond Means for 'Academic Freedom and 'Free Speech' in the United States

The Palestine Exception: The crackdown on Israel criticism on US campuses | Fault Lines Documentary

March 25, 2024

#Aljazeeraenglish #israel #documentary 

Fault Lines investigates what the crackdown on Palestine advocacy means for academic freedom in the United States. Doxxing. Blacklists. Terminations. Investigations. Hate mail and death threats. And accusations of anti-Semitism and material support for terrorism. These are some of the ways in which pro-Israel advocacy groups have tried to silence and intimidate pro-Palestinian voices in the US for years. But since October 7, these kinds of attacks have intensified. Constitutional rights advocates have called this a McCarthy-era moment for speech, suppression, and university campuses are on the front lines.

Ibrahim Husseini, Majed Abusalama, Aviah Sarah Day and Shanice Octavia McBean On Palestine, Global Solidarity, and the Criminalization of Protest

Join Ibrahim Husseini, Majed Abusalama, Aviah Sarah Day and Shanice Octavia McBean for an urgent conversation on resistance, repression, and global solidarity. 

With the unprecedented mobilization of millions across the world in support of the Palestinian struggle for liberation, Israel and its allies have been swift in their response. From Germany to the UK to Palestine, we have seen the criminalization of slogans, chants and signs, and brutal violence from police, settlers, Zionists and the far-right. The determination to crush the widespread solidarity with the Palestinian cause is abundantly clear. As the genocide continues, our enduring solidarity in the face of such repression is more important then ever 

NOTE:  THIS PROGRAM BEGINS @ 30:33
