Fight Back News Service is circulating the following statement from the New Orleans Alliance Against Racist and Pollical Repression.

The New Orleans Alliance stands with Pro-Palestine student activist Rick Toledo. We demand no charges be filed against him for standing up for Palestine.

We believe standing up against genocide and demanding divestment is the right thing to do.

Fight Back News Service is circulating the following statement from the U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN).

Although the Tuesday, April 7th, ceasefire announced after 40 days of U.S. / Israeli war on Iran has gripped us all, the criminal U.S. and Israel can never be trusted to uphold ceasefires or good-faith negotiations. This morning, April 8th, USPCN and the entire world were awakened to the horrific news that Israel has carried out a massive bombing raid in Lebanon, killing over 300 people, according to the Lebanese Red Cross. The number will undoubtedly rise as the raid continues and the emergency responders report.
