We begin today’s Palestine Post with Rami Khoury, Distinguished Public Policy Fellow at the American University of Beirut, and a journalist and author with 50 years of experience covering the Middle East.


Rosita, an Indigenous Mapuche woman and registered nurse of 13 years joins us to discuss the ongoing anti-genocide campaign led by faculty and staff at UCSF.


Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine (FSJP) at UCSF have drafted an open letter to UCSF Chancellor Sam Hawgood alleging the administration has taken numerous repressive actions against faculty and staff who oppose the institution’s complicity in Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinian people.

Among FSJP’s demands is the reinstatement of Denise Caramagno, a therapist who they allege was fired for defending her colleague who spoke out against the genocide of Palestinians and harmful impacts of Zionism in medical institutions.


Here is their petition to reinstate Denise Caramagno:

As Rosita mentioned at the end of this episode, another petition has started to circulate in support of Professor Tiffany Willoughby Herald, a global studies professor at UC Irvine who was arrested while trying to protect students at an encampment protest and is now facing misdemeanor charges.
