NY’s New School is accused of aiding ‘Gaza genocide’

A group calling itself Students for Justice in Palestine has sent a list of demands to Manhattan New School, calling on the college to cut ties with Tel Aviv’s conservatory of music over Israel’s ‘genocidal campaign against the people of Gaza and the West Bank’.

The students claim that ‘universities make up a key part of the ideological infrastructure of the Israeli colonial regime and produce knowledge that contributes to the subjugation of the Palestinian people.’

They threaten unspecified radical action if their demands are not met.

There has been no response from New School, an instition that once provided have for Jewish scholars fleeing Nazi persecution in Germany.
