‘A Painful Price’: The escalating war on Palestine solidarity at U of Michigan and beyond
Following a week-long sit-in by the University of Michigan Students
Allied For Equality (SAFE), an obstinate Central Student Government
(CSG) council agreed to bring the group’s resolution on divesting from
corporations involved in human rights abuses in the occupied Palestinian
territories to a vote. I appeared as
SAFE’s guest speaker for the March 25 debate,
addressing as many as 600 students packed into an auditorium while
hundreds more waited outside. In an electric atmosphere, SAFE members
and supporters rose to defend the resolution against a parade of
pro-Israel students and professors rattling off well-worn talking
points.
