UPDATE: CalStuff has some photos of the event here and here.

Looks like there’s going to be another protest on Sproul tomorrow (Monday).

Who? Palestinian student groups and “people of color”
Why?

Demand that the UC Regents to divest from Israel.
Demand that the UC Regents invest in people of color on university campuses.

When? 12 - 2 PM

Now that you know in advance, use this time to come up with an alternate route, if you so desire. Thank me later.

Here’s an excerpt from the email, from my super secret source:

Come out on Monday and show your opposition to the US’s shameful policies and to urge UC Berkeley to divest from Israel and to invest in students of color at Cal. Pro-Palestinian students will be building a bypass road, a road built between Jewish settlements and Israel Proper for the exclusive use of Jewish settlers and Israeli citizens, on Sproul Plaza. Come out on November 29th, the UN-declared International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people, and stand in solidarity with a people who are fighting to end the colonization of their homes and their land. Bring signs that say you are in support of divestment or in solidarity with Palestinians. If you’d like, we’ll make a sign for you.

I love how they link two completely different issues together. Are they that desperate for bodies that they need to bring in “students of color” to inflate their numbers? I can only imagine how this all came together. Maybe it went a little like this:

Palestinian Groups: Hey, wanna protest Israel with us?
“Students of color”: Uh, no.
PG: You know, once the school stops funding the Jews, we’ll have much more money for multicultural centers and the like.
SOC: Why didn’t you say so? We’ll be there.
