Convicted Cop Killer Speaks To Palestinian Student Protesters

[Webster]

(The Guardian) On Friday, protesters at the City University of New York heard a rare live address from one of the country’s best known incarcerated political activists, encouraging them to keep up their struggle, the Guardian’s Nina Lakhani reports: In a powerful and rousing live address to students at the City University of New York (Cuny) on Friday night, the incarcerated Black political activist Mumia Abu-Jamal praised the pro-Palestinian movement growing at US colleges as being on the right side of history.

“It is a wonderful thing that you have decided not to be silent and decided to speak out against the repression that you see with your own eyes,” Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther, said while calling from Pennsylvania’s Mahanoy state prison. “You are part of something massive, and you are part of something that is on the right side of history.

“You’re against a colonial regime that steals the land from the people who are Indigenous to that area. I urge you to speak out against the terrorism that is afflicted upon Gaza with all of your might, all of your will and all of your strength. Do not bow to those who want you to be silent.”

As hundreds of students and supporters at the Cuny encampment in Harlem cheered, he continued, “This is the moment to be heard and shake the earth so that the people of Gaza, the people of Rafah, the people of the West Bank, the people of Palestine can feel your solidarity with them.”['/i]

If that's the case, then why not go protest and join the war effort over seas?

When Ukraine went to war with Russia, instead of just bitching about it people took up arms and joined Ukraine.
