KENWOOD BLVD AND DOWNER AVE
After a Rally and March, with about 500 students and supporters, tents were put up. More speakers and music is planned.
IT’S STILL HAPPENING. COME SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE STUDENTS
Jodi Melamed, an English professor at Marquette University who is affiliated with Jewish Voice for Peace, told the gathered crowd that it was not antisemitic to protest the Israel-Hamas war.
“There is nothing antisemitic about genocide,” she said. “There is nothing antisemitic about a free Palestine.”
She also led students in a chant: “Zionism is racism. Palestine is liberation.”
Melamed was one of several speakers addressing the crowd.
Munjed Ahmad, a local attorney and Palestinian-American, told the crowd he would have a legal team represent anyone who faces legal consequences at the encampment for free.“They can threaten our community with whatever the hell they want. We don’t care,” he said. (jsonline)
