Tokyo’s first subways were but a dream on a drawing board in October 1925.

"[S]tudent #activists at #Columbia demanded an end to the #genocideInGaza and called for a ceasefire. The response? Intimidation, suspensions, wrongful arrests, and, in Mahmoud’s case, being illegally detained by #ICE and threats of #deportation.

"How and why did the current #studentMovement begin? What were the consequences of speaking out on #Palestine?"

‘The idea that lecturers should be neutral is absurd. The university always says that we as scientists should make an impact on the world, right? Showing that Zionism is a racist and genocidal project, and standing up against that is legitimate in that view, right?’
[...]
Look at the student who was brutally bitten by a police dog on May 7. The Executive Board has failed miserably in dealing with the protests.’

‘Kijk naar de student die 7 mei door een politiehond bruut gebeten werd. Het college van bestuur heeft gigantisch gefaald in de aanpak van de protesten.’
