Students arrested during the police crackdown on protests at universities in New York City last week were denied water and food for 16 hours, according to two faculty members at Columbia University’s Barnard College who collected reports from students who were inside.
Other students reported that they were beaten by New York City Police Department officers after their arrests and taken to the hospital for injuries before being returned to central booking. Photos of the injuries were provided to The Intercept.
Other students reported that they were held in mouse-infested cells, along with the general population of the jail. The students told the professors that they weren’t given water or food for 16 hours and that at least one student was left without shoes for the same period of time.
How very…Israeli.
Nazisrael.
Ashka-Nazisraeli
Y’all really need to better draw the line between Israel and Jews, because comments like this erode the very important “criticizing Israel isn’t antisemitic” distinction. There’s absolutely no reason to point the finger at Ashkenazi Jews, an ethnic group, in our outrage over genocide committed by the Israeli state.
I get that you’re just doing wordplay, and calling Israel Nazis is fine (even if “Nazisrael” is a bit forced), but calling Ashkenazi Jews “Nazis” is just fucking hateful, and you’re giving ammo to the pro-Israel detractors when you say ignorant shit like this.
