🔴🎓 U.S.: After 100+ encampments and 2,300 arrests... 5 deals!
Most of the anti-genocide student protests have been facing police repression and violent Zionist counter-protestors, but agreements were reached at 5 places, after which students ended their protests:
⬥ Evergreen State College (the university of Rachel Corrie). It'll “address divestment from companies that profit from gross human rights violations and/or the occupation of Palestinian territories”, and it'll block studying abroad in all of Palestine (“where our students are denied entry based on their identity as Pali or Jews”) [more]
⬥ Rutgers Uni. [PDF] Accepts 10 scholarships for Gaza, ties with Birzeit Uni, recognition of flags, but won't stop Tel Aviv partnership. Professor union head Todd Wolfson said 150 faculty members had volunteered to support students. (2 May)
⬥ Uni of Minnesota [PDF] (1 May)
⬥ Brown Uni [PDF] (30 Apr)
⬥ Northwestern Uni [PDF] (29 Apr)
(No commitment of divestment, but possible review. Other demands were met.)

🗣️ Hezbullah takes credit for the attack on Qiryat Shmona, claiming it is retaliation to the Israeli massacre in Mays al-Jabal village that killed a Lebanese family of 4.
122 mm grad rockets and Falaq heavy rockets were used. The map shows a bigger attack area, implying the attack was purposely indiscriminate and widespread.

📷 One of the many impacts in Qiryat Shmona.
A reminder that Hezbullah's rocket full capability is still inactive, and damage can be inflicted when needed to the degree they decide. Not on par with the Israeli army, but enough to damage.
The recent days witnessed less attacks from Lebanon because the front here is in support to Gaza, and the war there has calmed in the last few days. The situation there dictates the situation here and the intensity of the battle.
