Thousands of Columbia University Alumni Pledge to Withhold All Contributions to School Until Pro-Palestinian Student Demands Are Met!

10/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

“I sign because my Jewish values of inquiry, empathy and moral courage compel me to,” said an alumna of CC ’03 and CLS ’10 who grew up in both New York and Jerusalem. “These values were nurtured in Columbia classrooms, and I know other Columbia students share them. Until my university can conduct itself in accordance with those values internally, within its communities, and around the world, it does not deserve my esteem, much less contributions of my time, money or skills.”

The alumni letter follows the University’s unprecedented aggressive actions against pro-Palestine student protesters, including suspensions and expulsion processes with inadequate due process.

01/05/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

The International Criminal Court is probing Israel’s actions in the West Bank and Gaza, independent of other cases at the International Court of Justice, such as South Africa’s genocide claims against Israel in Gaza.

Israeli media are reporting the government has received indications from legal officials that the International Criminal Court is considering issuing arrest warrants for senior officials, including prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The ICC is currently investigating Israel’s actions in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

The ICC case is separate from other cases brought against Israel at the International Court of Justice, including one filed by South Africa accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.

China: US Racism Poisons Public Support for Bilateral Ties! (21.3.2024)

The United States frequently adopts discriminatory, politically motivated and selective law enforcement against Chinese students, which severely violates the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of the persons concerned, disrupts normal cross-border travel between China and the United States, runs counter to the U.S. commitment to facilitating and supporting cultural and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries and contravenes the common aspiration of the two peoples in carrying out friendly exchanges, Lin said.

US Border Racism Threat to Chinese Students! (30.1.2024)

30/01/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

(ECNS) — Recent incidents of some Chinese international students with valid documents being harassed, interrogated, and deported by U.S. authorities suggest that such unlawful behaviour has only worsened, leaving the situation for Chinese international students in the U.S. far from improved.

A Chinese student surnamed Li, who graduated from a top-tier Chinese university, said that in January 2024, she travelled to the United States to pursue a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Maryland. Upon arriving at Washington Dulles International Airport, she was greeted by rude and unreasonable U.S. law enforcement officers and subjected to prolonged questioning in the secure interview room — a “small dark room.

The officers forcefully examined Li’s personal belongings, including her phone and computer, denied her request to contact the Chinese consulate, and repeatedly inquired about her party membership status, academic background, and mentor details.

China: US Must Stop Racial Discrimination Against PRC Students! (5.1.2024)

Wang said the U.S. has long been wantonly suppressing and ill-treating Chinese students traveling to the U.S. with lawful and valid identifications and visas. Some of the students were interrogated, confined, forced into confession, induced and even deported without just cause. Every month for the past few months, the U.S. deported dozens of Chinese arriving in the U.S., including students. “This is a clear case of selective, discriminatory and politically motivated law enforcement. We strongly deplore and firmly oppose this.”

UK: Oppression of Palestinians! (21.12.2023)

21/12/2023 Adrian (釋大道)

I’ve been wearing mine around London since October 7th, 2023 in Solidarity with the ordinary Palestinian people – and nothing has happened to me yet. Furthermore, I have also heard that the British Police have also been warning and/or arresting individuals for flying (or holding) a Palestinian flag in public! This is despite pro-Palestinian Protests attracting hundreds of thousands of people from across the British Isles! Surely, such oppression is not worthy of the only country that would grant Karl Marx (and Friedrich Engels) political asylum during the mid-1800s – when no other European country would do so!
