🔻Almost a year ago I signed a settlement agreement to leave Radboud University in the Netherlands, following ten months in which they harassed me in relation to my speech against the genocide of the Palestinian people. I said I would donate the settlement to causes that further Palestinian liberation. I have now received the money and done so, and want to share the causes in the hope that others donate as well. I gave over half to both The Sameer Project in Gaza (thesameerproject.org/), and Tanseqeye Shaabeye (The Popular Committee) in Lebanon (instagram.com/tanseqeye_shaa…), two on the ground initiatives, run by Palestinians and Lebanese people who refuse to disconnect providing material relief to displaced families from the political project of liberation from Zionism. I donated part to @MomodouTaal and @tjAmandla two wonderful black scholars who are being punished by Cornell University for escaping the US to prevent being kidnapped by ICE over their Palestine activism (chuffed.org/project/200834-s…). Finally, I donated part to activist communities in the Netherlands that are working hard to end Dutch complicity in the Zionist project. I'd like to thank Radboud University for funding these important initiatives. I hope Radboud and all universities do so, so much more to end their complicity with Zionism.
