What do Ohio State University (OSU) and Israel have in common? They both desperately try to conceal the truth about the Israeli genocide in Gaza and the daily Israeli war crimes committed against Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip.

 OSU targets pro-Palestinian activists for exposing the university of complicity in the Gaza genocide by arresting them, charging them with criminal trespassing, and threatening them with police escort from study-in for having "Keffiyeh," and the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) targeted Palestinian journalists in Gaza for informing the world about the reality in Gaza where Israel has not allowed international journalists.

 OSU also targets student leaders by filing Mickey Mouse charges against them, such as in the case of Jineen Musa, the head of Student for Justice in Palestine, who was born in Boston. She was harassed and charged by OSU police at the Oval after speaking at a press conference defending an international graduate student whose student VISA was revoked by the federal government. OSU bike officer issued Musa a summon for trespassing because she used a bullhorn, which OSU campus bans during certain hours. The question is, why is OSU putting Jineen Musa in the crosshair?

 Doxxing pro-Palestinian students at OSU

 Doxxing is a practice of publishing personal information about individuals as a form of vigilantism and to harm students' prospect for employment or for possible deportation in the event they are not U.S. citizens. Canary Mission (CM) is a shadow group engaging in collecting information about international student and professors who are critical of Apartheid Israel with the embassy of Israel and US State Department. CM Mission enjoys tax-exempt status but it is not registered as a foreign lobby group. That begs the question, where is the IRS when you need it to revoke CM's tax-exempt status?

Last July, ABC News reported that a division of the Department of Homeland Security created a team that was instructed to look into more than 5,000 people who were named on a doxxing website that lists names and pictures of critics of Israel on U.S. college campuses, a government official testified in federal court. That's how far the government has gone in its efforts to crack down on pro-Palestinian protesters. I accidently saw Miss Musa's name on a doxxing website, along with several other student activists. I did congratulate Miss Musa for making the Canary Mission Hall of Fame.

This is the first time a government official has detailed how far the government has gone in its efforts to crack down on pro-Palestinian protesters. Last March, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the administration has revoked more than 300 student visas since the start of second Trump administration. ICE official confessed that his agency uses CM to find students to target for deportation.

 The UNRWA stated that there had been about 13,000 staff working in Gaza prior to the war and those killed included teachers, school principals, health workers, a gynecologist, engineers, support staff, and a psychologist, according to Wikipedia.

 Physicians for Human Rights reported that since the outbreak of the war in Gaza in October 2023, the Israeli military has detained thousands of Palestinians, including physicians, nurses, paramedics, and other essential healthcare workers. Many were taken from their workplaces, such as hospitals and medical facilities, while others were arrested at their homes or while passing through military checkpoints set up across Gaza.

 According to Healthcare Workers Watch, the Israeli military had detained over 250 healthcare workers in Gaza by September 2024, including Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya who was abducted by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on last December 27. Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, 51, is the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, located in the town of Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip. 

 Meanwhile, the Israeli Death Forces targets, doctors, medical staff, religious leaders and first responders. It has killed 254 Palestinian journalists in Gaza since October 7, 2023. They were silenced for exposing Israel's crimes.
