Discussing next steps for building support for Palestine at OSU.

The genocide continues while organizers locally are trying to build necessary support for the movement. In particular, OSU Divest and SJP OSU are running a campaign to call on OSU to divest from Israeli Apartheid, and Ohio Youth for Climate Justice, CORS, and many individuals are resisting attempts by Zionists and OSU to crack down on them and they need your help!

We welcome anyone who wants to organize for Palestine on campus, including members of other student groups, to join us to discuss next steps for organizing.

The problem is not the absence of a Palestinian state, but Zionism itself. 

 What is the use of a Palestinian state, if Zionism, as a racist, exclusivist ideology continues to define Israel, and impose that definition on the Palestinians? 

 This ideology calls for racial purity of Jews in Palestine, of course, at the expense of the native inhabitants of the land. To achieve this, millions of Palestinians had to be forced into exile, hundreds of thousands needed to be killed, wounded or incarcerated. 

 Neither two states, nor even one state is possible if Zionism is not entirely defeated - not revamped, not ‘fixed’, but eradicated. 

The Oil and Gas Land Management Commission (OGLMC) will meet Monday, Feb. 26 at 10:30 a.m.-but a Franklin County judge may stay its decisions to award oil and gas bids to frack Salt Fork State Park and Valley Run and Zepernick wildlife areas.

EarthJustice and Ohio Environmental Council announced yesterday they filed an emergency stay to suspend and delay OGLMC orders to frack, pending a decision on the appeal by Save Ohio Parks, Buckeye Environmental Network, and Backcountry Hunters and Anglers of OGLMC's Nov. 15 decision to approve nominations of these areas for fracking.

A decision by Court of Common Pleas Judge Jaiza Page on the emergency stay was requested by Friday, Feb. 25.
