The president of the University of California has announced that the system would enforce bans on encampments as well as the use of masks to “conceal identity” in guidance that comes as schools across the US are planning for protests in support of Gaza similar to those that roiled campuses across the country.

Michael V Drake, the president of the 10-campus university system, said in a statement on Monday that the UC was taking steps to “ensure a safe, inclusive campus climate that fosters a free exchange of ideas”.

    It doesn’t help that the Israeli government goes out of their way to conflate the two as much as possible. That way when people are trying to condemn the Zionist-run genocide, they are viewed as talking about all Israelis and Jewish people as a whole despite there being a clear and distinct separation. Their government is trying to muddy the waters so real discourse cannot happen, and that in turn puts them all in danger to the crazy fucks that harass people on campus.
