An Open Letter to US Universities Regarding Our Student Protesters. You Don't Have To Be Complicit in Genocide.
This letter has been emailed to MIT Corporation Officers, Managers, and Faculty Chairs, and was copied to @AntónioGuterres @StateDept and @DeptofDefense. #GazaI Israel US Genocide must come to an end.
Ladies and Gentlemen, greetings!
As a concerned Boston resident, a humanitarian, and a teacher, I need to know precisely what is wrong with people like you who decided that the right thing to do is punish students who show humanity and a sense of right and wrong. I would appreciate an answer from you.
You will not be allowed to continue to help Israel perpetuate its criminal Apartheid regime in Palestine, no matter what you do. Our government is complicit in genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Our young people are aware of this, and they have every right under the United States Constitution and their moral consciousness to stand up and disrupt the shameless mass murder and destruction of an entire population with the intent to annihilate their entire way of life. This is over. he is abjectly lying and spreading misinformation and disinformation about Hamas, the Palestinians, and Iran. The masks have come off, and the real terrorists have shown themselves to be occupying the American people, our White House and Congress, and European capitals. If you insist on continuing on this path, you, Israel, and the entire axis of genocide will go down in history alongside Nazi Germany. We are not as stupid as you seem to think. We are fully aware of the history of land theft, terrorism, ethnic cleansing, and atrocities by Israelis in the occupied territories. Have you no shame? Your role was to set an example for other colleges and universities nationwide. By failing to support your students' protest for justice and fairness and demanding a stop to the carnage and bloodshed in Gaza, you have forever ruined the reputation of MIT as a prestigious educational institution. Please fix this by turning around and responding to the student's demands now. You must similarly refrain from implementing any form of punishment against the demonstrating students, thereby teaching them that anyone in a circle of power can contravene our constitutional guarantees. I do not expect much from people who support the mass killing of innocent civilians, women, children, ICU patients, the elderly, and the disabled, including forced starvation, atrocities, tortures, and the mass displacement of defenseless and vulnerable trapped populations, and other war crimes and crimes against humanity. I do not care that you may be a part of the evil Zionist project. Stop supporting genocide now.
Know that we are fully aware that this purported war against Hamas is a war on the Palestinian people. The United States government is morally and intellectually bankrupt and genocidal. As for the Europeans, they are the same people who have been supporting and arming this genocide are being their old selves, colonialists and imperialists who have always been willing to mass-kill millions of people around the world to steal resources and impose their rules and decadent cultures upon indigenous people for thousands of years. We have all now been made aware through archival documentation of all that has been done to the Palestinians over the past 75 years, and we are saying no more.
This genocide set out to systematically:
Destroy every health and educational institution in Gaza, water and sewer systems, solar panels, and farmland; Obliterate every housing unit and home;
Shut down electricity and internet access;
Cut oxygen to baby incubators and ICU patients;
Kill comatose patients in their beds and bomb fertility clinics and bakeries. Your students object to these blatant genocidal acts, which the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has already ruled plausible.
You need to find a conscience. There is no conscience transplant. You must join the students who happen to be on the right side of history, protesting a holocaust that is playing out on the world stage for all to see.
Zionists in the United States government, such as Anthony Bliken and the rest of them, in the US media and Hollywood, have sold their soul and are criminally complicit to this genocide by acts and omission.
And no, this did not start on October 7th. And Zionists' lies about October 7th have all been roundly debunked. The fake rapes, the 40 beheaded babies, the baked babies, and the babies hanging on clotheslines have all been debunked. More recently, Israel Hasbara about UNRWA staff is unfounded; in other words, it is a complete lie.
It is time you show some degree of moral and intellectual integrity and admit that the real terrorists in the Middle East are Israelis who have used dehumanization and demonization of the Palestinians over 75 years to deprive the entire population, including those living in the West Bank, of their basic human rights.
This week, the fascist and rabid Israeli government shut down.
Jazeera’s offices in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem after they raided the news organization's offices and confiscated its news gathering and production equipment.AlJazeera happens to be what every news organization should aspire to be when they grow up. The put @cnn New York Times, @WashingtonPost, @ABC, NBC, CBS, WGBH, C-Span, The Boston Globe, The Associated Press, and Reuters to shame. And no, Hamas did not kill hundreds of civilians. Hamas mounted a military incursion into Israel on October 7, 2023, intending to free tens of thousands of Palestinians. Israel terrorists have kidnapped and locked up in deplorable conditions under military rule, including journalists and occupation dissidents. The record shows that #Hamas attacked military barracks and police stations. They became involved with the festival partiers only after discovering a festival and needed to keep that crowd from attacking them. Then, when #IDF terrorists entered the theater, Hamas resistance fighters sought refuge in the so-called Kabuts, which are all stolen Palestinian land settlements.
It’s Been All a Lie.
I started to wonder if I had been had when I collaborated all those many years with my late friend and colleague Lenny Zakim on the “A World of Difference” Program managed by the ADL. But I am satisfied that Lenny was the just and fair civil rights leader I knew him to be. Looking back, I do not believe that Lenny was a Zionist who stood for an evil Israeli Apartheid regime and would have today stood for genocide. There was a reason why Lenny was beloved by everyone.
I Miss Lenny, and I will never miss an opportunity to honor him.
WE ALL NOW KNOW WHO THE REAL VICTIMS ARE. ALSO, IT ONLY TAKES A LIMITED RESEARCH AMOUNT TO UNDERSTAND WHO BELONG TO THE AXIS OF EVIL. IT IS THE US - EUROPE - AND ISRAEL. IRAN, AS IT TURNS OUT IS A PEACEFUL NATION. THEY CANNOT TOLERATE THE PERPETUAL CRUELTY TO THE PALESTINIANS. WE ALSO KNOW
The US media, generally serving as a mouthpiece for the Zionists in the US government, has worked overtime to propagandize Americans. And by all measures, they have succeeded. For example, Hamas is a terrorist organization, even though Hamas is a political party with a seperate militant branch made up of resistance fighters.
These people are Muslims, and of course, the US media and Hollywood never missed a chance to depict Arab and Muslims as uncivilized savages and terrorists.

P.S. I am sending a similar letter to all US universities, the State and Defense Departments, Congress, and the White House.
I REQUEST THAT EVERYONE SEND A SIMILAR LETTER TO ALL UNIVERSITIES, THOSE IN GOVERNMENT, AND THE MEDIA WHO ARE FEEDING THIS BLOODSHED. THE PALESTINIAN POPULATION ONLY CONSISTS OF ABOUT 2 MILLION PEOPLE, ALMOST HALF OF WHOM ARE CHILDREN (AN ESTIMATED 600,000 PALESTINIAN CHILDREN IN GAZA).
