Campus Protests News

Climate Emergency,Gaza,Israel

Jake Johnson is a senior editor and staff writer for Common Dreams.

Alumni of Columbia's Climate School published an open letter on Friday condemning the university's leadership for sanctioning a violent crackdown on campus Gaza protests, arguing that attempts to repress dissent against Israel 's assault resemble and fuel 'the irredeemable rising repression and surveillance against climate activists worldwide.

In addition, the UN Stockholm Declaration on Human Environment observes that protecting ecosystems necessitates decolonization, and the end to all apartheid. International and Israeli human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and B'Tselem, have all declared Israel an apartheid state. Broad scientific and political consensus thus supports the need for apartheid divestment to overcome the climate emergency.
