UNIV. OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS STUDENT SPEAKS OUT FOR PALESTINE

On 9 May, African Stream journalist Inem Richardson visited the University of California Davis student encampment set up in solidarity with Palestine. An encampment representative and law student, Stanford McConnehey, shared that imperialism links the struggle in Palestine with the struggles waged in Africa, the Caribbean and the world at large. His analysis demonstrates US students are aware of the violence of 'Yankee' imperialism wherever it rears its ugly head, whether through US military bases that encircle the world, funding proxy wars, performing coups d’état, providing arms and other ways the United States uses to protect its economic dominance.
