Annelise Orleck has been banned from Dartmouth campus for six months for trying to protect her students from riot police. she is the Head of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth and 65 years old. this is a video taken of her violent arrest by pigs, who apparently are fighting antisemitism. madness.

edit : Anneliese Orleck was the former Chair of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth. the current Chair is Susannah Heschel.

Dartmouth can say the ban was a condition of her bail all they want. Doesn’t change the fact that college president Sian Beilock authorized sending in police in riot gear who used extremely disproportionate force against people exercising their constitutional right to protest. The police should never have been called in the first place. Beilock’s actions were cruel, irresponsible, and violated the rights of the students, faculty, and community members who came to support them. This isn’t the first time she has suppressed pro-Palestine activism on campus.

Correction!

“After being arrested during campus protests last night, Dartmouth history professor Annelise Orleck announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, that she was ‘banned from the campus.’ According to College spokesperson Jana Barnello, in an email statement to The Dartmouth, Orleck’s prohibition was a condition ‘imposed by the bail commissioner,’ while the College ‘had no intention of seeking Prof. Orleck’s exclusion from campus.’”

It’s also worth noting that her students are standing up for her:

And here’s an article about what she experience:

The New Democrat I love what Annelise Orleck is talking about here. Which is sending money out of Washington the Federal Government, directly to the communities that the money is intended to serve so these communities can build their schools, their health clinics, their housing especially for homeless people. Their day-care centers so single parents can get themselves the skills that they need to…

"Yeah, I feel unsafe on campus. But not because of my students and their Palestine protests, because of police who body slammed me on the ground and arrested me for protecting kids." - Jewish Dartmouth professor Annelise Orleck (65) as she calls out New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu spreading misinformation about protests being antisemitic.

“I promise I did absolutely nothing wrong,” Orleck wrote. “I was standing with a line of women faculty in their 60s to 80s trying to protect students.”

The UN Human Rights Council has said that Israel is commiting genocide upon the Palestinian people, there are numerous sources citing over 30,000 people dead or missing in Gaza. They are herding people up and down the Gaza Strip with the most conservative estimates landing 1.2 million people in a strip of land 24 miles long. Imagine how jam-packed that is. In what ways is this not a genocide. They also have detention facilities/camps where people have been tortured. This is being covered by all major news sources. I get that people think that it's anti-Semitism, but if we look at all the protests being held at universities, Columbia, for example, you see, Jewish students are also participating in those protests. We see Jewish students actually leading these protests as well. Annelise Orleck has been teaching U.S. and Jewish history for more than three decades at Dartmouth College. After she told police officers to stop arresting students on the campus green, Orleck said, officers threw her to the lawn and knelt on her back. She said she couldn’t breathe. She was banned from campus temporarily as part of her bail. She was only there to support protestors and yet got violently grabbed while she was standing there. My general point is yes, Hamas has killed people, but Israel is committing genocide in response and bombing peoples homes and killing children that have no part in war.

"While Israeli settlers in the territories can vote in Israeli elections, Palestinians cannot. Israeli settlers are also able to travel freely across the occupied territories and into Israel, while Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank cannot: They must apply for permits, which are difficult to obtain. Most Palestinians in Gaza are unable to leave the area at all, and those in the West Bank face onerous military checkpoints to travel through and out of the area.

Furthermore, Israeli settlers are tried in Israeli civilian courts if accused of a crime, while Palestinians are tried in Israeli military court — which has an extremely high conviction rate and limited due process rights. And while Israeli settlers have the freedom of political speech and protest, Palestinians are governed by military orders that restrict these rights.

This binary also exists when it comes to land access and confiscation in the occupied territories, where Palestinians have seen their land seized and used for Israeli settlements and infrastructure. Additionally, Palestinian enclaves in the West Bank are walled off and isolated from one another, and certain roads are segregated for Palestinian and Israeli traffic."

This is from a Vox news article titled "The argument that Israel practices apartheid, explained"

When your sources on this issue are the UN and Vox that means you’re listening to propaganda and you don’t have all the information. Both Vox and the UN are trash.

Jewish professor brutalized at Dartmouth protest tells Biden to stop weaponizing antisemitism to justify Gaza policy. "We don't want this genocide in Gaza in our name," says Annelise Orleck.

[sasquapossum]

Annelise Orleck (one of the arrested professors) is 65, and Jewish, and there's video of her being attacked from behind. Absolutely despicable. At this point the only surprise is that they're not shooting journalists like their allies in IOF are wont to do.

‘They’re sending a message’: harsh police tactics questioned amid US campus protest crackdowns

More than 1,400 people have been arrested across the US during a week of intense police crackdowns on a sprawling campus movement of pro-Palestine student demonstrations.

As Joe Biden defended students’ free speech rights but warned them that “dissent must never lead to disorder”, colleges across the country brought law enforcement to campus to arrest dozens or even hundreds of protesters and clear away their encampments.

But the level of force with which some of these law enforcement agencies have responded to protests, which in the overwhelming majority of cases have been peaceful, has shocked some observers – and even some of the people arrested.

“It is a level of repression of campuses in the United States that I have not seen in my lifetime,” said Annelise Orleck, a 65-year-old Dartmouth labor historian who was arrested on Wednesday as she attempted to protect her students from lines of heavily armed riot police.Orleck, a former head of Dartmouth’s Jewish studies department, was grabbed by police, thrown to the ground and then dragged along the grass after she demanded that a police officer give her back her phone, which she had been using to record arrests. A video of the incident, which showed officers manhandling the white-haired older woman, went viral.

For Orleck, who was teaching a US politics class on the civil rights movement hours before she became one of 90 people arrested at Dartmouth, the degree of violence that has accompanied the campus arrests has been shocking.

“They’re sending a message to American students,” she said.

When Orleck was brought to a van after her arrest, she said, she found the other people arrested alongside her included a second grade teacher, a preschool teacher and two Dartmouth student journalists, both of them with their press credentials clearly displayed. “They were just stunned,” she said.

As the New York City police department arrested 109 protesters at Columbia University on Tuesday, officers “pushed protesters to the ground and slammed them with barricades”, the Columbia Spectator reported. Body camera footage showed police using stun grenades against protesters, and videos also showed one officer throwing a protester down the stairs in front of a campus building, the student newspaper reported. A police officer fired a gun as police cleared one campus building, which the department later said was an accidental discharge.

At Emerson College in Boston, where 118 people were arrested on 25 April, student journalists with the Berkeley Beacon “saw several police officers piling on a single person’s body as well as blood on the ground”.

At Cal Poly Humboldt, police were seen swinging batons at groups of demonstrators. At the University of California, Los Angeles, student protesters said that multiple people had been hit with rubber bullets during a chaotic all-night law enforcement operation to clear a tent encampment in the middle of campus.

The Los Angeles Times confirmed that “at least one officer is seen on video shooting rubber bullets into the crowd”, and later documented an officer who shot a frontline protester “square in the chest with a ‘less-lethal’ round”. That shooting appeared to happen as officers grew frustrated with some protesters throwing water bottles and pieces of wood at them, despite calls by other protesters for them to stop, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Orleck, the Dartmouth historian, is not the only professor to go viral for being violently arrested alongside her students. Multiple professors at Emory University have also been arrested, including an English professor, Noëlle McAfee, who told a local news outlet that she was arrested after she saw officers throw a young protester to the ground, whom they started “punching and rolling and knocking and punching”, and she told the officers to stop.

On 27 April, Steve Tamari, a 65-year-old historian of the Middle East at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, was also dragged to the ground by law enforcement while filming a demonstration at Washington University in St Louis.

Being “body slammed” and crushed by several St Louis County police officers left him in the hospital with “multiple broken ribs and a broken hand”, Tamari said in a statement posted on X.

There have been 970 US student protests related to the Israel-Gaza conflict between 7 October and 26 April, the vast majority of them peaceful, according to the latest available statistics from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (Acled), which tracks political violence and political demonstrations across the US and around the world.

The number of student protests related to the Israel-Gaza conflict surged in April, Acled found – as did the rate of police “interventions”, which Acled defines as police actions including arrests and physical dispersions of crowds with physical force or chemical agents. At student protests where there were no counter-demonstrators, the analysis found, “police have intervened against pro-Palestine demonstrations more than four times as often as pro-Israel demonstrations”.

The Associated Press has tallied more than 2,400 arrests across 46 campuses since 17 April.

Before officers in heavy body armor arrived at Dartmouth, the nascent student Palestine solidarity protest was “100% peaceful” and “remarkably diverse”, Orleck said. “There were many Jews involved in this protest, and none of us saw any signs of antisemitism.”

The labor historian said she wanted to push back on political claims that the campus crackdowns were related to making sure that students and faculty are safe, or effective in protecting them from antisemitism. Her son showed her a tweet responding to her arrest that noted the irony: “A great way to fight antisemitism is by beating up the former head of Jewish studies on campus.”

There are striking resonances between the last week of police violence and the killings of student protesters at Kent State on 4 May 1970, exactly 54 years ago, Orleck said, but it’s still not clear if “all of these violence assaults” in the past weeks will make Americans today feel that things have gone too far.

The violence on their campus has left both students and faculty shaken, she said. “We are very worried about our ability to speak freely, and students are worried about their ability to assemble and speak freely. It’s a tense moment. The question is, can campuses become spaces, can they make them spaces, where constitutional rights don’t apply?”

At Dartmouth, where there is still another month until graduation, there’s plenty of time for protests to continue. But “the students are frightened,” she said. “They feel like if they protest on the green they’ll get arrested. They’re trying to think about what else to do.”
