For several weeks, DePaul University has allowed two pro-genocide students (one of which is a returned IDF solider who participated in the genocide in Gaza) to parade on campus, actively antagonizing students and openly supporting the Gaza genocide by draping themselves in Israeli flags, while asking passersbys to “Ask an IDF soldier”.  DePaul has no problem with a student who joined a foreign military, willingly participated in the mass slaughter of well over 100,000 people, and then returned to campus to celebrate that mass slaughter. But when, just this week, someone finally gave this student a tiny bit of the justice that genociders and mass killers deserve, DePaul and other Chicago institutions are crying crocodile tears over safety and supposed antisemitism.

The US-Israel war machine is carrying out a world-historic crime in Gaza, waging a war of extermination and starvation. They are currently attempting to complete the wholesale ethnic cleansing and mass expulsion of Palestinians from northern Gaza. It’s time to escalate resistance and not cower, and especially to step and get the backs of people willing to do what must be done. DePaul coddles war criminals. Fuck that.
