    Today, May 12, 2024, graduating students walked out of Duke University commencement to protest Zionist speaker, Jerry Seinfeld, and to call attention to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. These students then held their own alternative commencement on the quad. 🧵 1/4

    Just as the Duke class of 1985 protested their commencement to pressure university divestment from apartheid South Africa, the class of 2024 led this action to demand the university divest from companies that profit from Israel's occupation of Palestine and genocide in Gaza. 2/4

    Not a single university is left in Gaza. No graduation as usual. We are proud of our students for taking a stand and demanding better from our institution. 4/4 END 🧵

    Demands from the Duke students’ flyer: “We call on Duke to DISCLOSE its financial investments in Israel, DIVEST from companies profiting from the occupation of Palestine, BOYCOTT academic partnerships with Israeli universities, and SPEAK in favor of an immediate ceasefire.” 3/4
    JOIN STUDENTS IN PROTESTING DUKE'S
COMPLICITY IN GENOCIDE.
WHEN YOU SEE STUDENTS WALKING OUT, FOLLOW THEM.
The class of 2024 has faced its own challenges, its own losses. We've missed proms, graduations, senior springs-milestones of all kinds.
And yet: this class' commencement takes place as the genocide of the Palestinian people enters its eighth bloody month. While pundits across the country pin the blame for national losses of commencements on students acting bravely in protest of genocide (rather than institutional repression), students in Palestine have had this milestone stolen from them, along with their homes, their families, their lives.
Despite the devastation of Palestine, including the razing of every university,destruction of hospitals, emerging information of mass graves, the displacement and starvation of millions of Palestinians, the torture and murder of journalists, our university has chosen a speaker who unflinchingly supports Israel and its military.…
