DESCRIPTION:Israel’s genocide on Palestine has driven an ongoing student protest 
 movement on the nation’s university campuses. These protests have adopted 
 similar calls for divestment from the war industries supplying the advanced 
 weapons systems the US government is sending to Israel. Common protest 
 tactics include encampments, banner drops, leafleting, and 
 self-education.\nAs the US continues its unqualified support for Israel, 
 how do we assess the successes of these movements? How have universities 
 framed these protests? What has prompted Higher Ed's extreme responses 
 involving the deployment of urban police forces? How have definitions of 
 constitutionally guaranteed free speech been redrawn by Higher Ed? What has 
 been the impact of the “Palestine exception”? What if any are the 
 limits of non-violent protest, and according to whose interests?\n\nWatch 
 the films at your convenience before the event.  Then join us with your 
 thoughts and questions for our speakers at the Q&A Discussion with:\n\nIlan
