Abstract

Using the October 7, 2023 attacks as a pretext, Israel has initiated and perpetrated what is arguably the most barbaric genocide in many decades. They have conducted this genocide with the active and continuous diplomatic and military support provided by western governments. Consent for genocide among western publics has been provided by a collusive and complicit western corporate and public service media that have done everything in their power to cover up and justify Israeli criminality. In response, students across the world have risen up to bring awareness of the plight of the Palestinians and demand an end to the genocide. These students have been met with extreme surveillance, oppression, and violence from the state, educational institutions working as extensions of the state, and counter-protestors. This paper is an interview with one of the principal organizers, and one of the negotiators and spokespeople, of the University of Toronto pro-Palestine encampment and their experiences while taking part in the protest.
