GENEVA (6 May 2024) – UN experts* today condemned the continued and systematic onslaught of violence committed against Palestinians in Gaza, with most victims being women and children over the past seven months.
The Gaza experiment is ongoing, and it is taking the world further than any of us would have thought possible. In our article, The New Politics of Exclusion: Gaza as Prologue, published more than two years ago, we claimed that Israel had turned Gaza into a human laboratory where entirely new conditions were artificially created.
Now we know. The end of the Gaza experiment is no longer to ensure separation or repudiation, but elimination through genocidal slaughter, or, more euphemistically, “forced” or “voluntary” emigration to other lands largely unwilling to accept them.

“There are no universities left in Gaza,” read one sign from Brown’s encampment for Palestine, which officially came to a close yesterday. The sign faced University Hall, an administrative building, and telegraphed one of the many themes of the encampment: that divestment, among many other, perhaps more pressing, issues, is also an educational issue. Because Brown has repeatedly shooed away calls for divestment under the powerful banner of being A University—a title that supposedly carries nonpolitical implications—the eighty-some students who have chosen to pitch tents in full violation of student-conduct policies are making a point with their teach-ins. If Brown wants to make this about education, the students will make this about education.
