"The only thing
that is appropriate to say in this time
and to a group this large
is a recognition of the atrocities
currently happening in Palestine.”
Rozos told the crowd that
“as I search my heart today in addressing you all”,
it is his “moral and political commitments [that] guide me”
into condemning Israel’s onslaught on Gaza,
which has killed at least 53,000 Palestinians over the last year and a half. "
Rozos went on to say:
“The genocide currently occurring
is supported politically and militarily by the United States,
is paid for by our tax dollars
and has been livestreamed to our phones for the past 18 months.
And that I do not wish to speak only to my own politics today, .
but to speak for all people of conscience,
and all people who feel the moral injury of this atrocity.”

"Rozos’s anti-war speech was met with widespread cheers and applause from students across the auditorium.
Some attendees booed Rozos, with one person appearing to yell “bullshit!” from the crowd."
"He lied about the speech he was going to deliver and violated the bullshit commitment he made to comply with our bullshit rules. The university is withholding his bullshit diploma while we pursue bullshit disciplinary bullshit actions."

At least 80 people have been killed by Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling on targets across Gaza as faltering talks on a new ceasefire continued and Donald Trump said he wanted the US to “make” the devastated territory “into a freedom zone”.
"Trump’s statement recalled the plan he put forward in February for the US
to take control of Gaza
to reconstruct it as a luxury leisure and business hub.
The scheme implied the
possible permanent displacement
of many or all of the territory’s 2.3 million people
and triggered global outrage. "
