Hail and well met comrade traveler, where are you headed? Oh no. Not the campus. That campus is haunted by ghouls who will shoot you with rubber bullets for peacefully protesting the wholesale extermination of a people. Well, since I can see that you must go that way, take this podcast and hold it close. It is a magical ward against the undead creatures that dwell within those environs. Seek out the students, for they are comrades. Do not stray off the path, and listen not to the voices that whisper from the dark. They will try to lure you away from the path with hasbara about how it's anti semitic to oppose genocide... THEN SCOUR THE FLESH FROM YOUR VERY BONES! BEWARE! HEED MY WARNING COMRADE! HEED IT!

Okay. Welcome back, my friends and comrades. Welcome back. I'm here with doctor. AJ. Layon. you know, floats like a butterfly, sting like a bee. He's got the truth for you and me. I don't know what that means. Is there? But. Okay. All right. Sounds good, sounds good. That's a good idea. Muhammad Ali should have said and probably did. yeah. What if I stung like a bee? He was. Yes. Yes. Which is actually so appropriate. You bring him up. as it turns out. yes. Given the fact that he was absolutely coloring his world. Tiner title was removed from him. Muhammad Ali, when he refused to be inducted into the military during the Vietnam War. And he said, and actually, in no uncertain terms in public, it can be you, the guys who listen to this, or you can Google it, or we can even put it on his head in no uncertain terms, no South Vietnamese. forgive me. No Vietnamese person has ever called him a nigger. That no Vietnamese person had ever tried to to do violence. I think that it was. In fact, he was now speaking to a bunch of white reporters. It was in fact, you he said to them, and the government of the US that did this to me, I'm not going to go, fight, for the U.S. government in a war that the in in Muhammad Ali's eyes was wrong, and in fact, a war that was an illegal war of aggression, not unlike the war in Iraq. not unlike other wars that the U.S. has been involved in. So it's a it's interesting because at the same time, Mohammed Ali is taking his stance and paying mightily for it, mightily for. Right. there were, demonstrations on campuses throughout the United States and throughout the world, actually against the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. We were I mean, we we were a small part and, you know, nothing fancy, nothing big, a minor, minor, minor cog. but we were all called dupes, fools, stupid, communists. you don't know what you're talking about. You don't understand the complexity of the issues. And on and on and on. By at the time, the talking heads, in the press, on TV, and even by, you know, even by, politicians. And the only reason to bring that up now, of course, is, well, we did a, episode a couple of episodes ago on, scholasticism that was being perpetrated sort of as a piece of the genocide that's being perpetrated by Israel on, on the Palestinian people in the cosmos. And part of part of that scholastic assignment is the murder of and the selecting out and murder of teachers and professors, deans, physicians, nurses, the blowing up of every university in the Gaza Strip, the destruction of something. I believe the my number may be off a bit now, but something like 70% of all the, schools non-university elementary and high schools in, in the Gaza Strip using the other ones, as command posts that that report that we did, coincided, I believe, with the beginnings. I mean, there were there have been stirrings of, of, support for the Palestinian people on our campuses for a while, but it coincided with some of the actions at, Columbia that was then. that was then, were then put down very aggressively by the New York police, at the behest of the president of Columbia University, a, you know, again, this is, a woman who is Egyptian, and who was the president of the university, know you would say, you know, there is a there's I don't mean to be tangential, but if we can just, you know, a little tangential, it merely points merely points to the issue which I've made probably 10,000 times that it's not gender and it's not skin color and it's not ethnicity that makes a person the person you want to be around. I mean, those things, of course, matter because diversity really does matter. But what matters is what's in their heart and what's in their head. That is to say, the ideology that they that they the worldview that they have. And clearly, the president of Columbia University's worldview is a corporatist. I'm responsible to the donors, not to my students or my faculty. and and we've seen, we saw some very serious, very aggressive behavior by the Newark police. Again, not surprisingly, New York police are are, I mean, I don't want to be stated. Well, they are brutal. And, you know, there are I'm I know there are. I know there are decent folks who are cops and wannabe cops because they're decent folks. But there are way too many brutal thugs who make up that force and who are just all too happy to take used their brutality in service to a foreign country. That is to say, Israel. you know, the president of Colombia, called them in. Since that event, there have been, there have been, demonstrations, sit ins, campaigns, multiple universes, I believe, with some 120 throughout the country. And there is now throughout the world in support of the Palestinian people. I mean, this matters this just this morning, I read a piece, I'm I'm sorry to say I'm embarrassed to see my wife. When would. Of course. laugh at me if I say this, but, you know, I spent a little bit too much time on Twitter. I refused to call it its Twitter post. and this morning I read a piece, by, Hillary Clinton. It argued she was misstated, she stated was an argument that the students who are protesting not only don't know what they're talking about, they don't know anything about politics, and they don't know anything about U.S. history either. It's I mean, that level of, stupidity that, Hillary Clinton exhibited is the same level of stupidity that was exhibited, frankly, in, 60s, 70s, 80s. I mean, name it from the Vietnam War, through the wars against Central America, through the illegal Iraq War, I mean, multiple Iraq, multiple illegal wars that our government has been involved in, the talking heads, the people who are supposedly the adults in the room like Hillary Clinton. Although, oddly enough, I'm not. You know, Hillary was, a young kind of protesting student when she was youngster. Guess she forgot all about that. But the same thing that she is saying about our young brothers and sisters and not so young brothers and sisters on campuses now and elsewhere in the United States. You know what's being said about us 50 years ago? it's important for the for our student colleagues, our student comrades, our faculty colleagues and comrades to to remember. They don't know that what's being said about them and done to them was done 50 years ago. And more over and over and over. The police in service to in this case, big donors on a campus, on multiple campuses in, in our country and in service to, frankly, genocide being perpetrated by a country that's called our ally, Israel. Right. and and again, it's it's just it is important to recognize and one of the things that strikes me. About all of this is sort of a long, long, long view. I'm just finishing, W.E.B. Dubois was black reconstruction. Which, I don't have in front of me. No, I think published in the 30s. 20s. I can't quite remember, but he takes a long look at reconstruction after the Civil War, and it is a book worth reading for anybody about about American history. A little difficult to read because his style of writing is the style of, you know, the old guys, but it's worth looking at and and it's a different era, but so worth reading. And one of the things that is just that struck me when I saw it and, and ties into what we're talking about now is, and forgive me if this seems a little tangential. I don't think it is, but but it he talks about the not, not immediately after the Civil War, 1565, but 68, 69, 70, when things are still in flux, the reconstruction, as we think about it, was sort of not quite in place. There was a possibility for, for, poor whites who had no land at all in the South, working class whites in the North, and the newly freed, blacks, to join together, the southern plantation owners, while they had they still had power. They didn't have much in the way of money. Northern, industrialists had plenty of money and industrial capacity, but, the Civil War had just been won through the, you know, blood, sweat and tears of working class men, who were in the military at the time. There was a moment when the trajectory of the United States could have been changed had it been possible. Right. And it was possible for working class, African-Americans and whites, actually, men and women, because there were some folks who recognized the fact that it has to be everybody, not just men, right. Joined together and stood. And we actually could have, kept the industrial northern industrial from, essentially taking over our country, which is exactly what's happened today. Money interests have literally run the country today. And the southern planter class from re entrenching themselves to, you know, cousins. Well you're right. And they're entrenched themselves not precisely the same way. But they they united with northern industrialists differently. But because of Jim Crow Jane Crow, they managed to completely exclude, our black brothers and sisters from political, economic, civic, civil life for another basically 100 years, until Lyndon Johnson's Civil Rights Act of, I believe was 1964, 1965. I remember, and, and but there was that moment and it was lost again. You know, you could say legitimately, well, okay, fine. That's nice, know, but who cares? No one cares. But so what? Today we've got other issues. It's true, it's true. But the decisions we make about who we ally with and how we ally with them, about what we say and how we say it has have have implications for now, but also for what's going to happen, in the reasonably near future. Just as during reconstruction, the decisions made by, very few people actually quote, leaders, unquote, of, syndicate movements or working class movements who said, I don't want to hang out with blacks. I don't think they're really human. I mean, there weren't many. There were more people who said, we are together stronger than apart, but there was enough. There was. There was enough people with power who kept that union from coming together, that we actually ended up with what we what we know. Right. Which which is the horror of of post-Reconstruction South and the loss of, working class rights, in the North as well. I mean, terrible stuff that happened. So I think it matters. So a lot of words to say that is a book that's worth looking at. And this year, if they have a chance, should get it, spend time with it. Again, a little challenging to, because of the structure of the English, the way he writes. But but I'm very, very sorry. You get used to it. Yeah, yeah. so, so let's, let's give the outline, the rough outline of what, you know, so, you know, thinking about somebody watching this in the future or whatever, where we're at right now with the protests on the, campuses is there's about, 100 campuses across the, universities across the United States and a further 20 or so, internationally, that have now, gotten, has started encampments and, and, you know, sort of running, protests against the genocide in Gaza. the Israelis perpetrated. It is that is is that number up to date? I thought, I thought it was closer to 200 total. I may be I may be you. You're probably right. That was that was a couple of days ago. And it has. It keeps going up exponentially. Okay, okay. It's but it's a fair number. It's a fair number. And it's quite a quite a few, quite a few, even my, my local. Let's see, when was this? that was the seventh. No. Yeah, that was days ago now. so, so, yeah, it has grown. And it just keeps, you know, people keep adding to it. it is phenomenal. Great. Wonderful to see. And then, of course, that has been met with just truly astonishing brutality. and that's I don't want to, you know, we don't we don't, of course, want to distract from from the atrocities being committed against the Palestinians in Gaza. and and neither do the students. However, it is I mean, it is quite shocking. As a matter of fact. and part of what you and I had talked about is that there's, there, not only is this shocking and horrifying, but there are parallels, parallels I wasn't around for to to the earlier, resistances against against, Israeli treatment of the Palestinians, largely at our behest. But, you know, anyway, so, and that's, that's kind of what we part of what we wanted to talk about, I think, and just, you know, of course, state our solidarity with the students that, you know, the wonderful work that they're doing, the courageous, you know, protest that, that they're engaged in, and that they're sort of recentering of the, of the genocide into the public discourse. I mean, they make it harder and harder to ignore, you know, of course, people are slandered and and they say, oh, it's, you know, even though it's of course, you know, a lot of Jewish organizations doing this that, that it's somehow anti-Semitic, even though there's, you know, Jews celebrating Shabbat and, you know, whatever. Right. right. and, and, you know, and that it's violent, which it is not, not that there's been really no violence except for the violence that's been perpetrated against them to the point of, you know, tear gas and rubber bullets and pepper spray and all this sort of. Stuff and rubber bullets, I mean, yeah, brutal. And rubber bullets. Remember our steel, rubber coated steel cased cartridges? I mean, they can they can kill, they can put out ice for sure. They can kill. So you're right, this is this is important. But I don't think it, I mean, I appreciate what you're saying about not wanting to take away from with the terror that's occurring in Gaza right now, and and it is. But but I don't think the comment on this does take away from it. In fact, the Palestinians have over and over, there's a handful of, of, video clips with a, with the Palestinian people saying, thank you for doing this. This matters to us. You see us, you hear us, and and what's what's with the first of all, I want to say, as someone who's, was once a 21 year old and who is now 50 years older than that, you know, I am prouder of those students than it's possible to me to say in words. It almost brings me to tears. I mean, demonstrations, ten camps won't change the world, but they are important as a statement of solidarity. And it's and it's and it's our Jewish brothers and sisters are non-Jewish brothers and sisters. It's Muslims and non-Muslims. It's social, it's atheist, it's it is. These are people who say no to the worth of a human life shouldn't matter on the tint of your skin or the accent you have. And they are standing up, and they're standing up in a way that puts them at some risk. I mean, it may only be financial and job, but only financial and job is is a big deal. It's a big deal. I mean, there's. There's there's been, you know, I mean, there have been there's been a lot of I mean, even over there's been a lot of injuries even even at my, local college, like, cracked the head of, some poor, Palestinian professor here. that's a good point, too. That is a it's not just students. It's faculty and staff as well. I mean, this is this is a so. Yeah. No, no, you're right there. Yeah. There are there are serious injuries. Obviously it's not the same as genocide, but it's but it's a this is a big deal. This is also what was done 50 years ago. I mean I my mind goes back to although I wasn't on those campuses. Excuse me Kent State and Jackson State in 1970 when the students were killed, I mean the the National Guard came in and they simply went wild. They started firing, you know, what were. They protesting there? Give me, give me the, give me the. 1970 Vietnam War. Elevator. Pitch, 70 1970 Vietnam War. and and, National Guard was called in National Guard, use live ammunition and murdered Kent State for and I believe at Jackson State. And number three, I may have that number of I but nobody was held accountable. Nobody paid a price for that. the so called order, organs of law and order. You know, our military National Guard simply went wild on our students and and that era. So when, when when Forbes and they are schools, they are utter fools like, you know, Musk, for example, who called for bringing the bringing National Guard onto campuses, right. Or, you know, or bring on these heavily armed police, which is effectively the same thing. They are setting the scene for our brothers and sisters to be murdered by these cops who will pay no price, cops who armed, by the way, I will point out and I and I it you know it it there's a certain part of me that just it grates on me to even say this again, don't mean to be tangential, but for 15 years I was the medical director of Gainesville Fire Rescue here in Gainesville, Florida. And during those 15 years, I worked very closely with the Gainesville Police Department. In fact, we set up what was called the Swat medical team for that Gainesville Police Department. It had existed before the the police wanted it. If somebody was hurt, you know, what would happen is there would be an event, fire rescue, ambulances would stage maybe a mile away from the event. And if someone got hurt, whether it was a, quote, bad guy or a quote good guy, you know, we were pretty far away. So we trained medics to go in with the Swat team so they could take care of anybody who needed to be taken care of. And, you know, and this you can criticize all sorts of things about what we did. But the thought was it would it would help both the police and it would help the, the citizen who had gotten in the way or who was a, quote, bad guy, unquote, or whatever. What's it? And the reason it grates on me so much is not precisely that, that fact, the reason it really grates on me, is the guy who was the commander, of the Swat team. He was the, Gainesville was divided into districts, and his district was where the Swat team was. I'm not I won't say his name, but his first name was Richard, and I might. I was going to. He called me up. I was at the hospital one day. He called me up. He said, you know, I want to thank you for what you did. This helps us. It helps the citizens of Gainesville. and I just want you to know, and this is these are his words. I remember this like it was yesterday. I want, you know, that your family, your family, anything you ever need, your family. I thank you. And, a little while later, I don't remember the time exactly. Our youngest son, who was not an orthopedic surgeon in Virginia, but who was one of the leaders, founders, organizers, participants. I don't remember how many of the high school students against the Iraq war was marching in Gainesville with his colleagues, partners, comrades and, and a bunch of frat thugs. Thugs, came around, pushed him down. I mean, they didn't hurt him. Took the American flag. He had, you know, pushed him around. There was a cop, mirrored sunglasses, arms crossed, one 30ft away. We just stood there and watched. Just like it's happening today on the campuses when, for example, the cops went in to break up peaceful demonstrators. But when when page Zionist, possibly ex IDF military guys went in and started hurting them, throwing things around, pushing them around, hitting them. Accosted another well right in front of firing fireworks into the crowd. Yeah. Yes, yes. Right in front of. So so the story I know this is a little bit tangential, but. So I called Richard up. I called him the commander. I said Richard, you, I said, this is who I was. And I said, you you told me we were family, that you in your family to my son. And I just called him and I told him the story. So I said, I don't expect your guys to agree with everything that I do with my kiddos or anybody else. Who cares if they agree we're supposed to be a republic, a democratic republic. We're supposed to believe in the freedom of speech. And your guy watched my son, he could know was my son. But doesn't that doesn't happen. Every one of these guys is my son. Could be every old woman or old man is my parents. Could be right. You know, they he watched them get pushed around, kicked around and did nothing. You know, Richard, what gives? I thought we were family. Well, he didn't have an answer. And of course, he couldn't have it. It was wrong. I put him on the spot. You and I meant to. I, I mean, not, you know, for you, because it's not, it's but it but it was. Yes, it was because it was my son. Right. Who I love and loved at the time. Mr. Levin worried about. Right. But it was also it could have been any kid, and any kid could have been my kid. Any student could have been one of my, you know. And. And how would they ever know you, you you know, it's like it's like the it's either because it was either justice for everybody or there's no justice. It's, you know, all in or no one's in. That's the way it works. And that is not what we're seeing. That's not what we saw in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s 2000. That is not what we're seeing today. And it is dramatically, dramatically dangerous. The times are much more dangerous. We have an election coming up. in which a, I believe, liberal, non-ideological, but sort of a fascist term stands a good chance of being reelected. The guy is a thug. He will surround himself himself with thugs who are extremely dangerous. And Joe Biden, who, you know, just a Paul from the past, is the guy who's going to run against him and he is doing everything he can to lose this election, to alienate the people who elected him. Yeah. And he almost. Seems like he's go ahead, target. His big donors, including this guy Haim, who's a just sent him a note. I read the note that was sent to him today. He is there. He I believe it was him. Right. He's a big movie guy in, in, in L.A.. An American Jewish slash Israeli, I think. I don't know what passport she carries. A big supporter of Israel. Okay, because that's what he does. Just find a billionaire. And he pushes a lot of money into the Democratic Party. And he sent by a note that said, you know, you can't withhold weapons to Israel. You can't do that. I mean, yeah, you know, you yes, Biden, you should have been doing it before. I'm glad you're doing it. If you're doing it now, I'm not sure I believe it. but but, this this, you know, we will the students. I guess the last thing I'll say about the students will be, as we were vindicated, whether it's two years from now or ten years, doesn't matter. They will be the the talking heads, the fools, utter fools. New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC and Fox, CNN, not all of them. There are some really good, smart people on those stations, who are opposed to these demonstrations and who belittle the, the, the efforts of the students and faculty to stand for justice. They will be proven again to be wrong. No, they may not cost them anything. usually doesn't, and it may cost the students everything, but but we will once again, I think, be shown to be right, that this is a genocide, no matter how you slice it, that this is being perpetrated by us, the United States and Israel, Israel could not do it without our support and that of the Germans and the French, but mostly us. And we are utterly bankrupt. Wrong. Morally bankrupt. is. Of course, I said this would be the last thing I said in life, you know, and when I was just in the hospital, just, just, you know, last week, just last week before this last big tranche of aid goes to Ukraine and, and, Israel. Yeah. And another one of my patients who could not get their insulin done. Well, I'm not back to the area. Right. You know, could not get they couldn't afford it. They can't get it. We can afford to send tens of billions of dollars multiple times in a year to fight wars that simply shouldn't be stopped. Yes, there are issues. Yes, they can be talked through. Yes, they can be solved. Instead, what we're doing is we are fighting, we're destroying the climate. We're destroying our economy, and we're destroying our people as well as the people in those countries. so what our students and faculty are doing is really very important. and, and I just completely support them. Yes. Yes, absolutely. I completely, completely agree with you. It is it is vitally important. It is doing some it is working. You know, if you're a student out there, and, and you're listening to this or if you, you know, whatever, no matter who you are, if you're standing up for Palestine, is helping you are doing something. Stand strong. Hold the line. You know, you is a hard time to speak up, but what you're doing is important. It matters to us here, you know, to the people who are to your comrades who are are also fighting for Palestine. And it matters to the people in Palestine as well. I mean, you know, you see, there's these, images of, of, and from people I've talked to, the, you know, people painting on their tent or, you know, spray painting their tents, saying, you know, thank you, students and stuff. It means it means something. And this during a time when Rafah is being despite all of the hullabaloo and talk of or off, is not going to be invaded, that they are, in fact, they've shuttled everybody, shuffled everybody into this, you know, one city, Rafah, and now they're, you know, invading it and bombing it and cluster, you know, dropping cluster bombs on it. you know, this is a densely packed refugee camp. I've got a friend there, you know, and and it's like they don't sleep at night. They don't, you know. I haven't heard that. That's true. Munitions were being used. Are cluster munitions being used there as well? Yeah. Well, I mean, you know, it's it's like anything they've killed so many of the journalists that it's hard to, to know exactly what's going on. But that's, that was the word that I, I had heard, you know, the in here, either that or successive strikes. Yeah. I mean, we, the, the, our, our student colleagues who are interested in here, this we could bring them on as guests as well. Yeah. Talk about their experience. Right. I mean, we could we could do that as well. yeah. but it's, you know, as well as the if we've got in that connection, we could do the same with some of our colleagues in, in Palestine. but I think you're right. It doesn't matter. And let's just have to restate it again, that what is being done by our student and faculty and staff, brothers and sisters, the youth of our country, is critical. It was 50 years ago. And and so today. And I can't but applaud them. If I could do something more than that, I would but can't but applaud them. Yeah, yeah. If you're out there and you're listening, you could I mean, if you got one of these. oh. And high schoolers, now high schools are joining it. So, you know, right on to them, you know, and whoever you are, any student, in the US or any person, you you can also, you know, get Ahold of, stop by your local encampment if you have one and, and see if they need anything, I don't know, bring them some food or just cheer them on, you know? yeah. If you follow the the students, you know, if you kind of, get in touch with these guys, you can kind of see when the crackdowns are coming. And at those times, it can be helpful to have more eyes. Right. And they can kind connect with us on, website and we can talk with them and see everyone on board. yeah, I have some of them to come and talk to. One of them intersections. Oh, yeah. Yes, absolutely. So, until next time. I guess you think we, covered it all, do we? Certainly. thanks. I think so. I think we did. We did. I think it's important. I think the only thing we may not have mentioned, which, I don't know if you mentioned, is the, the thuggery of our militarized police. I mean, those guys are not not not all of them, but but a good number of the large city police are trained by the Israeli military. Right. So it is not surprising that they use the some of the same tactics with the, Israeli Jews against Palestinians and against, I guess, people who are protesting against the war in Israel. There are some for sure, the scenes coming out of Tel Aviv, of the cops just beating the holy, sweet Jesus out of these Israeli protesters, especially families of hostages, of the families are saying, just make a deal here or how she is. and, you know, again, we haven't we haven't perhaps spoken enough about this. I mean, there is I mean, well, I might understand what Hamas was doing when they took hostages. There's no excuse to take civilians, men, women, children as hostages. I'm sorry. And there's no excuse for the Israelis to have 3000, men, women, children in their prisons, many on no charges. About a thousand our kids who are under, I believe it's 18 years of age. I mean, release all the hostages and let's start talking. I mean, that's I mean, again, I, we have said this the, the, Hamas breaking out of the, concentration of concentration camp. Yeah, that's a plus. I'm I'm not blaming them taking on the Israeli military. You know, that's what militaries do. That's a plus, not a negative killing. People who have surrendered. No civilians killing them. No, those are crimes. I'm sorry. As much as we support the right of the Palestinians, you can't do war crimes based on. Right? Right. Now, a lot of that is a lot of that is overblown. I mean, you know, there was they just another thing came out that, you know, at that rate or whatever, it in fact was the IAF that that, the frickin, gunships were, you know. Yeah. Yes. No, no, nothing that, that will that will become clear. Not to the truth. No, no, no, that part is true. You know, the masquerade story is nonsense. That's been debunked, is still used. But but, you know, but as has been said by people wisely, in every conflict in which men carry arms, women have been absolutely true. But, but the system of mass rapes on purpose, so that's nonsense. So but in fact, there hasn't been a single credible, account of, of a rape. And there was a time this was happened very short period. Anyway. Whatever. But that's beside the point. Only is we stand up for humanity and justice for all. Doesn't matter which side you're on. Right. And so that that's it. That's the last thing I would say anyway. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, you know, it's just like so yeah that is the backdrop. And these people are you know, I saw there was there's like, I mean, because only, you know, it is 90% of the, of the populace of, of Israel is behind this and thinks, you know, and some 40% thinks they should be no worse. 90, 97%, 3%, you know, so. But that 3% is pretty darn courageous. And they were they were laying down in front of the tanks and stuff. And I mean, you know, clearly these guys will run you over it. It's just. Yeah. No, no, there are some I mean, I'm blanking on his name. There's a guy, historian Ori I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, I'm not. No, I'm a historian. I read his work.

Pallid. Yeah. Oh. She's great because of that. Good dude. Copilot for sure. Yeah. He's a actually lives in San Diego. really. Nice. And or at least lives under with him. But anyway, so.

I'll just do it as a another episode, I don't know. Okay. Make it. A lot. You. But you were you were you had some potential if you were going to put on the last number. Yes, I've got it recorded. I'm just going to put it off. You just have to put it. You, you know, to get an assistant. What's the deal with you? I know I was thinking about saying I was thinking about sending it off. I mean, it cost a little bit of money, but it wouldn't hurt to just that way. We could just boom, boom, you know, don't have to wait for me to do. Well, just just so you know, I, you know, of course nothing will ever come of it, but I sent, Mary Hassan, a note. I say you need to look at our on our podcast.

I've got a friend there. that is, if you got a couple spare bucks to throw her away. She's awesome. Sweet person who, is, is in Rafah right now with her kids. And, you know, if you got a couple of bucks to throw away, I'll throw a link in the, show notes. you know, or any way that you can help, whether it's supporting your students, getting to a protest, saying something.

There, there's there is hope, you know, even as hopeless as we might feel at times and especially I want to say that to to our, comrades, in Palestine as well. you guys, we won't forget about you. We won't stop. We're not going to give up on you. we will never stop fighting until Palestine is free. one thing we didn't touch on, I forgot to mention, you know, Biden had talked about, you know, had has released recently this just horrific statement, calling, you know, words like intifada, anti-Semitism, calling the protests violent. They're not, intifada means like a shaking off. It's it's not, it's not, it is, it's a call for liberation. not for, you know, the destruction of of, of Israel or anything. So, you know, anyway, I just wanted to get that in, you know, it is not antisemitism. It is not hate speech to call for an end to genocide or to call for peace. That is insanity. so just no, comments that you are not alone. and, and, you know, if you got a little extra time. Coming, give us a, give us.
