(WAFA) – In a moment of great darkness, your protests erupt and give hope to humanity that justice is not an abstract concept but a continuous struggle that connects us all, said a letter sent by Palestinian Universities to students and faculty in Gaza Solidarity Encampments in US academic institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour values are emancipating the university from structural racism and complicity with power and colonialism,\u201d read the letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The situation in Palestine has reached increased genocidal levels, marked by the mass targeting of Palestinian life by killing and displacement; the destruction of social, cultural, and all educational institutions; and the aim to reduce Palestinians to bare life with no political and collective future, added the letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are leaders in the call for justice with your bodies on your university campuses and in the streets, speaking truth and justice loud and clear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You stand for the courage that is needed to take action strongly for justice and freedom and determinedly against systems of genocide and racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe know the risks you are taking in the face of the repressive measures that are taken against university spaces built on challenging the powers benefitting from silence.\u201d Added the letter.\u201cAt a time when the voices of the oppressed are intentionally silenced, your solidarity serves as a beacon of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your actions are a resounding message that injustice and oppression will not be tolerated.\u201d It said.\u201cWe draw inspiration from the courage of those who refuse and resist the continuing injustices of colonialism and military occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We welcome you to our universities in a liberated Palestine,\u201d the letter concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
