This is a t-shirt design that I came up with. (The flag-map graphic was done by someone else.) I'm going to improve the #graphics and find someone on Etsy to produce and sell them, like I have done with other political t-shirts. Pro-#Israel elements in and out of government are using phony arguments about anti-Semitism as a pretext for repressing the Palestine solidarity movement. I think that countering that slander is extremely important right now.

If anyone is interested in getting the design as a file (with or without changes) just let me know.

“Three students from Columbia University filed a lawsuit on Monday morning against the school administration for their suspensions related to their pro-#Palestine activism on campus. Among the claims in the complaint, the students state that the university violated its own policies during the disciplinary process, that the university targeted the students for their views, and that it violated New York’s landlord tenant laws when it evicted the students from university housing.”
