We have received this press release. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SEPTEMBER 13 2024 Richmond Protest Escalates March Turns Into Clash with Police Richmond, VA– September 13, 2024 – Today, a rally organized by the United Anti-Apartheid Movement transformed into a heated march. Demonstrators faced a heavy police presence, resulting in at least one arrest, vandalized police cruisers, and direct clashes with law enforcement. The rally escalated as protesters, fueled by anger over the Virginia Israel Advisory Board (VIAB) and its ties to US-backed Israeli war crimes in both Gaza and the West Bank, took to the streets. Tensions soared when police swarmed the demonstrators without provocation. In turn, demonstrators blocked the streets; threw fireworks and projectiles at police officers behind the march, in order to defend one another from the surprise attack by law enforcement. Seth Jackson, spokesperson for the United Anti-Apartheid Movement, explained the motivations behind the protest: "The Virginia Israel Advisory Board represents imperialism. In this genocidal moment, we reject incremental approaches. Marching and speaking out are not enough. We have taken responsibility for our future, and we will not stop until VIAB leaves Richmond and Virginia." Jackson highlighted the broader context: "We are responding to a call for global solidarity with the Palestinian people and their legally authorized resistance to colonial occupation. We oppose the expanding genocide authorized by the White House and executed by the US-funded zionist occupation of Palestine. We are workers, students, community members, and native Richmonders united in stopping these massacres by any means necessary." The Virginia Isreal Advisory Board is an Isreali business promotion entity embedded within the Virginia state governemt & funded by the state's taxpayers. VIAB promotoes Isreali military & police technology businesses in Virginia, who make Heron TP drones to murder people in Gaza & Zibar tactical utility vehicles for patrolling the Eygptian border. Protestors argue, VIAB is a financial artery for the military-industrial complex that supports ongoing violence against Palestinian civilians. Jackson emphasized the protest's ultimate goal: "We believe that only a revolutionary transformation of our world and society can achieve our goals. We strive for a world of peace, dignity, self-determination, and equality. That will and always has required us to rise up." "We hope today's actions inspire others to escalate their resistance," Jackson added. "This is a crucial moment, and we are committed to continuing our fight for justice.  It does not surprise us that Richmond residents would take this kind of bold action just after community members in nearby Washington DC courageously stood up following the racist murder of Justin Robinson by law enforcement. From Palestine to the USA, racism, colonialism, and authoritarianism must be toppled!"

Yesterday, Justin family and attorney requested the full 19-minute video be released. The city agreed, stating to release the footage with only faces redacted in 1 to 2 days.The family never feared the truth in the video—they feared the police and media manipulating the narrative

URGENT: University administrators across the United States have declared an indefinite state of emergency on college campuses. Schools are rolling out policies in preparation for quashing pro-Palestine student activism this Fall semester, and reshaping regulations and even campuses in the process to suit this new normal. mondoweiss.net/2024/09/u-s-un…

I finally found a deep dive on early Israeli education when searching .gov sites for something totally unrelated, and it was contracted by the Department of Education and has some of the most intensely cutting clarity about Israeli society I’ve ever seen files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED036…
