During the trip, the speakers argue that “there are problems that humanity faces. There are social problems that we as humans face that only a socialist society can solve.” They cite “a completely innovative thing that they created that hadn't existed up until they created it”—droplets in the nose to curb Alzheimer’s—and note Cuba’s innovation despite a “sixty plus year blockade.” They describe sending “100 filled suitcases to the brim with medical supplies” and visiting a maternal center where “these women were fully taken care of by their doctors” in a “completely free” system; “maternity leave” starts before birth and “lasts an entire year” with “fully paid salary.” On May Day: “600,000 people” and “Lenin” signs, “Black Panther banner,” pride in unions. The chant: “Cuba si blockade o no?” They argue the blockade aims to undermine the revolution, but there is “legitimacy among the people” and doctors “all over the world.”

I presented a piece by a Chinese Muslim writer supporting Palestine at Columbia University. The struggle in Gaza shows a divide between political leaders and the people. Columbia's response to protests was criticized. The writer recalls past student movements and expresses hope for justice. Youth today aim for global justice, unlike past generations. The writer pledges to continue fighting for justice.

Speakers describe a Cuban May Day march where "there were people who would pass by... they would start crying" at pictures of Shay or the president, and "they would hold up signs of Lenin" amid a crowd of "600,000 people." They argue that in America there is no legitimacy because "the working class and oppressed people" "don't know what the alternative is" and that "a revolutionary social society is the alternative." The march showcased "pride flags" and signs for unions and trades, with people carrying brooms and celebrating themselves and the country as part of May Day. They also celebrated American heroes, noting "Doctor King" and a memorial in Havana, acknowledging civil rights advances. An American Brigade carried a "Black Panther banner," and many black Cubans greeted participants with fist bumps. The chant was, "Yes to Cuba, yes to the revolution, but no to the blockades."

Look at these rooms, motherfuckers. We ain't going anywhere. Now it's time to escalate. We must always continue to agitate. But we have and we will continue to globalize the Intifada. We need to neutralize the institutions of power in the West. That part of me would be a loss. I'm a part of the BDS movement, Hamas. Now we're in congress and work every corner of The United States. Carrying out campaigns into tangible strategic targets that have to us. Reaching into all of the key areas of social power to transform it and overthrow it. Bringing the fight back home. We have to destroy the idea of America.

Regular medical students, wearing white coats, spoke about being the reason that America’s calling you terrorists: 'we're the reason that America's calling you terrorists.' They added, 'if we're terrorists, we're proud to be terrorists because we're sending doctors around the world. And if that's our terror, then so be it.' Right? But here's this little island, a couple of miles away from America, you know, 90 miles away from America, and they have an a president who talks like us. They have a president who understands the need for a liberated Palestine. And I think that was, that definitely altered my world.

The transcript portrays a chaotic confrontation during a congressional hearing on U.S. involvement in a war tied to Israel and Iran. The speakers push a stance that America does not want to fight this war for Israel, repeatedly asserting that “America does not wanna fight this war for Israel” and “America does not wanna fight this war in Iran, and the soldiers don't. Right?” They claim there is a war in Iran and that “our military brothers and sisters are going to die for Israel,” insisting that they do not want to die for Israel and urging to “Stop the war in Iran right now.” Throughout, Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 heckle the officials, describing the officials as robots and criticizing their focus, with expressions like “Look at you guys. You're robots. A US senator. You won't even look back” and “What is happening right now? I front robots. Shame.” They demand that those at the hearing “please cooperate with us” and “go behind the line,” while noting that the audience should be cleared and the hallways opened. A Marine veteran interrupts the hearing, drawing attention to the dissent. The veteran, identified later as Brian McGinnis, is described as interrupting the hearing because “there is a war in Iran, and our military brothers and sisters are going to die for Israel, and we are here to say no. We do not support Israel. We do not wanna die for Israel. Stop the war in Iran right now.” The confrontation becomes physical: “they pulled him out, got his arm trapped in a door, broke his arm, like, tackled him to the ground.” He is reported to have suffered a broken left arm, and there is an impassioned plea for medical attention as others note, “What did they do to him?” and “He broke his arm.” Witnesses describe the scene as “very intense” and express anger toward those at the hearing, calling them “cowards” for not facing the interruption. There is a recurring theme of opposition to intervention: “Palestine will be free,” referenced in the chant “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. Palestine will be free.” The speakers repeatedly reiterate that they do not want to fight for Israel and that they oppose both the war in Iran and the broader U.S. commitment to military action in the region. The exchange ends with a insistence to move people aside to allow passage and to maintain order, while the speakers emphasize their demand that the United States should not engage in the war in Iran or fight for Israel.

International students at a rally supporting terrorism should be deported and have their student visas revoked. Those chanting for Palestine's freedom should be sent back to their country of origin. The speaker questions which Middle Eastern country serves as a model for freedom, noting that even Jordan and Egypt do not support Gaza. This raises important questions about their beliefs.

Speaker 0 states that socialism, Islam, and Palestine are the three holy grail taboos in American politics. Speaker 1 responds enthusiastically. Speaker 0 asks why Palestine is a part of Speaker 1's politics. Speaker 1 answers that growing up in the third world gives a different understanding of the Palestinian struggle.

Revolution Plaza is an example of the resistance to the blockade. May Day in Cuba news—'essentially celebrating all the successes of the people'—while outlets seldom cover it. The blockade is the principal struggle, with power outages and water shortages, and ideological battle accelerated by easy Internet access to pro-American narratives. 'Ninety five percent of the problems in Cuba come from the blockade, and then 5% is the 5% that they all spend all their time arguing about.' Cuba’s brigades foster innovation: workers submit fixes and can win material rewards. Higher education is '100% free' with dorms and 24/7 doctor. They described 'the most progressive family code in the history of the world' arising from '700,000 submissions.' A trans person found Cuba 'the safest place I've ever been.' The US TSA caused hassles; in Cuba there were 'no hassle or hoops to jump through.' Visiting is 'doable' and Cubans welcome activists.

I shook hands with a Hamas activist because they treated us well and were considerate. They took care of my mom's needs and were prepared. They provided shampoo and conditioner for women. I didn't ask about what was happening outside.

Speaker 0 frames the camera as part of the fight for Palestinian liberation and recalls a Gaza colleague saying, "I resign myself to Allah's will. Bombs, with American cover, with American tax money. They want us to take down our voices and use this." He adds, "They want us to just give up. But trust me, we are shattering their complacency. Israel's problem is the very existence of Palestinians. Yes. It's the very existence of us." He declares, "And we're not silent," and insists, "The time is now. Time is now. The pressure towards liberation starts with us." Speaker 1 recounts personal persecution: "Two weeks ago, I was assaulted by the Israel immigration authorities. I was the only black passenger on the Hondala. It's no coincidence that I was one of the last to be released from prison."

Speaker 0 states they are not a communist, but confirms they are a Marxist. When asked to clarify the difference, Speaker 0 explains that several parties and countries are based on Marxism, such as Ghana and Great Britain, which has socialized medicine. These countries differ from outright communist countries, as they adhere to leftist or Marxist principles. Speaker 0 states that in their work with the Fair Play for Cuba Committee, they advocate for the restoration of diplomatic, trade, and tourist relations with Cuba.

"In the moment that you grab the gun, like Fanon says, you're no longer oppressed. You're now free." "We actually need to crash The US settler state, which has incredible reverberations and literally strangles the tentacles, that are reaching into the Israeli state." "putting our bodies on the line sometimes to protect those who are more vulnerable, right, to eat tear gas when we should be doing that and not students." "we have to struggle to crash things here. And my students were very, very clear about this. We have to struggle for indigenous sovereignty right here on Turtle Island." "You know, I'm sure that you've been snitched on to the administration about the content in your courses." "I'm trying to really ride the wheels off of these institutional resources and go for broke."

His camera symbolizes the Palestinian liberation. A Gaza colleague said, 'I resign myself to Allah's will. Bombs, with American cover, with American tax tax money. They want us to take down our voices and use this.' Israel's problem is the very existence of Palestinians. Yes. It's the very existence of us. We are not silent. Anas as lives on through his words; carried forward in action, no other young Palestinian will be forced to write their final testament just for telling the truth. The time is now. The pressure towards liberation starts with us. Two weeks ago, I was assaulted by the Israel immigration authorities; I was the only black passenger on the Hondala; it's no coincidence I was one of the last to be released from prison.

I am mayor Baruchin, a history and civics teacher in Tel Aviv. I was fired, arrested, and jailed for four days in solitary confinement in a high security prison. For what? For posting about civilians killed in Gaza. Growing up, I was taught the Zionist claim of a land without people for people without land. I learned of Arabs either as evil and dangerous or as ridiculous and stupid. I didn’t know any Arabs, and I never learned about the Nakba. After these charges were dropped and I returned to teach at my school, some students refused to attend my class. Others cursed me or spat at me or on the ground in front of me. Today, most of my students are respectful and are even willing to listen to what I have to say about what we are doing in Gaza, something they refused to do previously. Education provides an opportunity for Israelis to recognize Palestinian suffering and their history. Through education, we can write a new story of Palestinian and Jews who can live in this place in equality and dignity. But first, Israel must start this genocide.

Speaker 0 and his roommate went to Nicaragua the summer after freshman year to get involved in the war and support the side opposing the Sandinistas. They spent the summer trying to understand the war, and "all kinds of hilarity ensued."

The speaker describes a technical IT school on a transformed military base where projects involve "technology for medical purposes." They note, "if if this school existed in The US, it would be feeding me something about AI right now, that that's what they're focused on." "But instead, they have a plan, and that plan involves, you know, education." "But it also involves having a robust medical system despite the hardship of the economic blockade." They say, "these technical students aren't studying something that is interesting." "They're they are studying something that is interesting, but they're also studying something that Cuba needs." The speaker is "kinda surprised by just the way that everything's oriented in a direction."

Armed Queers members Connor and Rumia recount the National Network on Cuba's annual May Day Brigade to Cuba. The trip blends learning from Cuban people with solidarity work to counter US propaganda about the revolution. They contrast Cuban education and social supports with US shortages: at a school for children with differing abilities, they note "100% free" education—from preschool to medical school—and that "never once have I ever bought supplies for my classroom." They visited the Latin American School of Medicine (Elam), where stories include Fidel telling them to "turn this into a medical school next month" and "Cuba has never closed down any school." Gaza students study at Elam; the medical students declared, "we're the reason that America is calling Cuba terrorists." The brigade is international, with solidarity for Palestine, and the president speaks "like an organizer." They return with discipline and renewed resolve to support revolution worldwide.

We are reporting from the heart of the campus that sparked a global student movement for Palestine. We’re seeing right now, Chris, we’re trapped in a dorm room. There are 10 white PDs barricading the doors, and we’re not allowed to leave. What started off as a protest against genocide at an elite Ivy League university was met with a military-style operation to suppress it. We need to find a way to get some spare medication. So when Columbia University sent the NYPD on the campus, they were willing to deploy violent militarized police to maintain their active investment in genocide. This is not about students expressing ideas. It is about a change in tactics that presents a concern and a normalization and mainstreaming of rhetoric. And I’m not just talking about language. I’m now talking about tactics, and that’s what shifted our response yesterday. But a normalization and mainstreaming of rhetoric associated with terrorism has now become pretty common on college campuses. Right? You see people wearing headbands associated with foreign terrorist organizations. This happened in October when you had a viral TikTok reissuing Osama bin Laden’s 2002 letter to America. So that’s a larger concern. It’s separate from what happened yesterday, but they’re related. Speaker 3 asks what was found: basically, NYPD changed the way it did business after the attacks of September Eleventh. It not only changed the way it did business, it created a very deep connection with the CIA. They started to build these intelligence programs that infiltrated Muslim communities in ways that, if the federal government did it, would totally go against rules designed to protect civil liberties. And they did it with an unusual partnership with the CIA. A very senior CIA officer was dispatched by CIA Director George Tenet to be his personal representative to the NYPD and help create these intelligence gathering programs, directing and supervising the intelligence gathering, and that relationship continues today. Speaker 3 notes: Recently, the CIA sent one of its most senior undercover officers to work out of 1 Police Plaza in New York as a covert officer. So we’re talking about former CIA agents now working within the New York Police Department. Well, they’re current CIA; they’re on CIA payroll. They’re on the CIA payroll, working with the NYPD, traveling abroad, and using intelligence in conjunction with the NYPD. Speaker 2 describes one element: there is a program called the demographics program. Officers described it as mapping the human terrain of the city. They placed undercover officers, ethnic officers inside Middle Eastern neighborhoods to blend in and look for things that are suspicious. That could be something as simple as who’s looking at radical books in a bookstore or who’s watching Al Jazeera and perhaps applauds at a report about an IED in Iraq, and that could be enough to get you into a report at the NYPD. They also have informants called mosque crawlers who go to the mosque as the eyes and ears for the NYPD. The FBI places informants in mosques with a criterion of specific information related to criminal activity, while the NYPD reportedly does not have that bar and says they follow leads; but those involved with the mosque crawler program say they’re there as eyes and ears.

- Grabbing a gun equates to freedom, and violence is sometimes a revolutionary essential. - The U.S. settler state must be crashed to impact the Israeli state. - Armed resistance will defeat Zionism on an open battlefield, so weapons flow to Zionists must be stopped. - October 7 was a profound moment to dig in and go harder. - Putting bodies on the line to protect the vulnerable is essential. - Struggle for indigenous sovereignty on Turtle Island. - Being a "Gorilla Scholar" means being prepared to be fired for your beliefs. - Some have been snitched on to the administration for course content. - Groups like Hezbollah and the Iranian Revolution have been misrepresented due to imperialist ideology. - Challenge the settler state, like the University of Virginia, and exploit institutional resources. - Al Aqsa Flood on October 7 was a decisive strike against imperialism. - Faculty should teach Palestinian liberation and resistance struggles. - The armed resistance movement rejects dependence on oppressors. - Subjugated people must overthrow the broader imperialist world system.

Speaker says, "Message for the people of Gaza is going to be more of the message that should be sent to the people here" and that "they have achieved the victory." He admits, "We haven't done anywhere near enough," adding, "We do feel ashamed" and that "change must come"—"in the form that it must come is that this empire, the American empire that's been hurting our people since the beginning." He condemns, "The imperial western powers that have been hurting our people since the beginning, they must fall," and says, "inshallah inshallah they will fall." The message to Gaza and the oppressed peoples across the world is that "there are people here both young and old who are going to be willing to fight and are willing to put their lives and everything they can on the line to bring these empires down because they must come down."

Palestine is our generation's South Africa. We must boldly and courageously end the imperialist project called Israel, or we are doomed. I had known about Palestine for a long time and was grateful when the Dream Defenders invited me to join their delegation. However, nothing could have prepared me for the intense militarization and violence we witnessed during our 10-day visit. People live in constant terror, and this experience has given me a clear understanding of why we must stand in solidarity with the Palestinians.

These students who were regular medical students, they came and spoke and basically what they were saying was they were wearing their white coats, know, they looked like medical students. They were like, we're the reason that America's calling you terrorists. And they were saying, well, if we're terrorists, we're proud to be terrorists because we're sending doctors around the world. And if that's our terror, then so be it. Yep. Right? But here's this little island, a couple of miles away from America, you know, 90 miles away from America, and they have an a president who talks like us. They have a president who understands the need for a liberated Palestine. And I think that was, that definitely altered my world.

'Is going to be more of the message that should be sent to the people here.' They have achieved the victory. 'We haven't done anywhere near enough.' The people here, I promise you, 'we do feel ashamed. We do feel like we're not doing enough.' 'Change must come' and 'the form that it must come is that this empire, the American empire that's been hurting our people since the beginning. The imperial western powers that have been hurting our people since the beginning, they must fall. And inshallah inshallah, they will fall.' 'My message to the people of Gaza and the oppressed peoples across the world is that there are people here, young and old, who are going to be willing to fight and are willing to put their lives and everything they can on the line to bring these empires down because they must come down.'

"Laviv is amazing. I feel now like I'm in vacation. I feel really safe here." "On the regular day, you don't feel it, but then you are scrolling on Instagram and you see all of this. I'm very sick." "There are undeniably civilians who are suffering right now in Gaza, and rights groups are using the words like genocide and famine to describe the situation there." "I care about the people. I care about children all over the world. But first of all, we want the hostages back." "There is a Gaza wood. Like Hollywood. For Gaza." "The pictures a big problem. I see a lot of pictures that are not real. They are staged." "The suffer is because of Hamas." "Not only me. The people who died July." "Nova." "I'm 19. I'm joined up two more two more months. And you're gonna go? November." "Yes. Of course." "I love to." "No matter what you say, you can't ignore this. No innocence." "There is a mothers of terrorists, you know, who support. So there is no innocent." "It's the children gonna be terrorists."
