🚨 Students at Harvard University launched an encampment in support of Gaza in Harvard Yard moments ago, calling for an end to Harvard's moral and material complicity in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
Harvard has invested over $200 million of its over $51 billion endowment in companies with ties to zionist settlements in the West Bank, while most of its investments to the zionist entity are kept secret.
The students are demanding financial transparency regarding investments related to the zionist entity, as well as genocide and occupation in Palestine; divestment from these investments and reinvestment in Palestine; and dropping all charges against student activists.
The University has suppressed student voices in support of Palestine time and time again, suspending the Palestine Solidarity Committee just this week on baseless grounds. They have also enabled attacks on pro-Palestinian students from the media and politicians. Today, the students say enough is enough, and that they will no longer tolerate their institution's support for genocide.
This brings the number of ongoing encampments to 19, with more to come.

Boston, MA - Dec-Jan 2016
Here a few more shots from my trip to Boston with my mom last December.
I’ve got to say I’ve fallen in love with this beautiful city. Boston might not have the glamour of New York or LA nor is it as big, but it sure does have its own charm.
Boston is known for its unique neighborhoods that display a mix of old and new architecture. They have a commutable rail and places are easy to walk to. There are various public libraries, old bookshops, museums, universities, and schools to go to, which show that this is a place where knowledge is prized.
This small city, at least for me, is a gorgeous natural setting to learn, explore, and temporarily reside in especially when you’re at the time in your life where you’re searching for adventure, contentment, and meaning.
Boston truly captivated my heart and I wish could come back again soon.
