Bring your friends and mask up,” it added.The SJP chapter also identified Kamel Jawad as a Lebanese American “who was martyred by zionist bombs in Nabatieh, Lebanon.”The protest comes after the SJP chapter was recently suspended on an interim basis by the university.“On Wednesday October 2nd 2024, nearly a year into israel’s genocide of Gaza, funded by our tuition and tax dollars, tufts university suspended SJP over a flyer for a protest, condemning it as violent,” the group posted to Instagram on Friday. “tufts cites the content of our flyer as violent yet maintains invest and research ties that directly enable israel’s violent genocide in Palestine.”“The repression we face is minimal compared to the importance of fighting for divestment,” the post added. “We will not back down, we will not apologize.”Tufts SJP vowed to continue fighting for a “liberated Palestine,” stating: “GLORY TO THE MATRYS. ALL EYES ON PALESTINE.”
