For nearly a decade he’s covered how warming temperatures are altering the lives of Californians. He’s reported on farmers worried their pistachio trees aren’t getting enough sleep, families desperate for water, scientists studying dying giant sequoias, and alongside firefighters containing wildfires. His work has appeared on local stations across California and nationally on public radio shows like Morning Edition, Here and Now, All Things Considered and Science Friday. ",

His visit also comes during a week when deaths among Hamas captives were reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for the White House, Netanyahu’s meetings with administration officials carry hopes for progress in U.S.-led efforts to mediate an end to the nine-month Israel-Hamas war.

But Salti, an advanced lecturer in the Arabic program at Stanford University since 1999, didn’t expect to add the title to his résumé.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, the pro-democracy movements of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.history.com/topics/middle-east/arab-spring\">Arab Spring\u003c/a> sprouted in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a very optimistic time. And the music that fueled the revolution was everywhere,” Salti said. “And people were asking me since I speak Arabic, ‘What are they saying?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti started translating songs as a resource for people on campus — like Egyptian band Cairokee’s popular anthem \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgw_zfLLvh8\">“Sout al Horeya,”\u003c/a> which means “Voice of Freedom,” and Tunisian singer Emel Mathlouthi’s iconic song \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ79iEfus8E\">“Kelmti Horra,”\u003c/a> which means “My Word Is Free.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He was also invited to talk about the music of the Arab Spring on Stanford’s radio station, \u003ca href=\"https://kzsu.stanford.edu/\">KZSU\u003c/a>. The reaction was so positive that he was asked back a few more times. By the fourth guest spot, he was offered to train as a deejay and get a show of his own.

The music of Lebanese singer \u003ca href=\"https://yasminehamdan.com/en/#/#home\">Yasmine Hamdan\u003c/a> — who Salti refers to as “the queen of underground Lebanese music” — is featured often, and Hamdan herself has been a \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/arabology/yasminehamdan2017\">guest on the show\u003c/a>. Her 2009 electronic synthpop album \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mNDTYjeKL3sOh2tk9DHu5izNioGedkb9Y\">\u003ci>Arabology\u003c/i>\u003c/a>, as part of the duo Y.A.S., inspired the name of Salti’s podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another artist he’s interviewed and played often on the show is \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/hamed.sinno/?hl=en\">Hamed Sinno\u003c/a>, who is openly gay. Sinno was the lead singer of the Lebanese band \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfPvgAtgTNM\">Mashrou’ Leila\u003c/a> until the group disbanded in 2022 due to harassment and hate campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, they released a song titled \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1GOmPx-Ba8\">“Shim El Yasmine,”\u003c/a> which translates to “Smell the Jasmine.” It’s a tender ballad about Sinno’s break-up with a man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was such a moment because I think it was the first time we had an openly gay Muslim singer sing in Arabic about what [they are] going through,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a2sOF_hhKw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti said the common theme in all the music he plays is coexistence, whether it’s from artists living on the margins of Arab society or songs with more explicit messages of unity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of his go-to artists in the latter vein is Lebanese singer \u003ca href=\"https://www.taniasaleh.com/\">Tania Saleh\u003c/a> and her song \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_PbJg9v0CM\">“Omar and Ali.”\u003c/a> In it, she encourages Sunni and Shia Muslims to end their fighting and make peace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She says, ‘Get up Omar, get up Ali, shake hands and become brothers again,’” Salti explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On a more personal level, I myself happen to be a Christian Arab, but I’m always assumed to be Muslim,” he added. “A lot of people think the whole Arab world is Muslim.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he doesn’t typically correct people because he doesn’t want to feed an idea that there’s anything wrong with being Muslim. But it’s a reminder of the stereotypes he and other Arabs and Arab Americans face — and an added motivation for him to continue showcasing different Arab communities and perspectives through his show.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘We need to build bridges’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ramzi’s dedication to amplifying indie Arab musicians has built him a solid reputation in that scene. Today, the show is a go-to platform for emerging Arab and Arab American musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m at a stage where every morning when I look at my email, and I look at my messages, there are people telling me about other people, [or] that I need to discover this band. Some bands send me their demos,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the pandemic, Salti has been pre-recording his shows on a more sporadic schedule and releasing them as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.arabology.org/p/all-my-podcasts.html\">podcast\u003c/a> on streaming platforms, including a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyf1lyybLSdVr6N4eOuLe0w\">video podcast\u003c/a> on YouTube. This summer, he’s spending time in Jordan, where he plans to interview artists for new episodes of \u003cem>Arabology\u003c/em>. He otherwise hasn’t released a new show in a while, which he said is intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels weird and inhuman, maybe, to be playing dance music from that region at a time where people in that region are living a nightmare,” Salti said, referring to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti said that instead, he’s been discovering poetry by poets in Gaza, set to music. He cites one such production by \u003ca href=\"http://www.checkpoint303.com/\">Checkpoint 303\u003c/a>, a nonprofit, experimental music collective founded by Tunisian artist SC Mocha and Palestinian artist SC Yosh. They \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4QbAMK41XY\">remixed\u003c/a> the viral poem by Palestinian poet and professor Refaat Alareer titled \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/itranslate123/status/1719701312990830934\">“If I Must Die.”\u003c/a> Alareer published the poem on social media just weeks before he was killed in Gaza by an Israeli airstrike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The song itself is powerful,” Salti said. “It will make you really, really think about the violence that’s going on and how many potential artists, singers, poets are disappearing before they’ve even seen the world or been given a chance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Salti acknowledges the power of music as a means of expression and hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of Arab artists and even artists in Gaza itself are finding that music and poetry [are] one of the few outlets they have left,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti also likes to share songs that combine Hebrew and Arabic when he comes across them. “I’m so proud of these artists who come together, you know, Jewish artists with Muslim artists recording a duet. That, to me, is beautiful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because while Salti may switch up songs for his music mixes, one tune remains constant — his commitment to opening hearts and minds through music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I want listeners to take away when they listen to one of my episodes has never changed, and that is to have a different view of the Arab world and to understand that the difference between East and West is not so vast; that we need to build bridges; that we can both learn from each other,” he said. “And for me, if music gets you to discover tolerance and coexistence, then I’ve done my job.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Her 2009 electronic synthpop album \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mNDTYjeKL3sOh2tk9DHu5izNioGedkb9Y\">\u003ci>Arabology\u003c/i>\u003c/a>, as part of the duo Y.A.S., inspired the name of Salti’s podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another artist he’s interviewed and played often on the show is \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/hamed.sinno/?hl=en\">Hamed Sinno\u003c/a>, who is openly gay. Sinno was the lead singer of the Lebanese band \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfPvgAtgTNM\">Mashrou’ Leila\u003c/a> until the group disbanded in 2022 due to harassment and hate campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2009, they released a song titled \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1GOmPx-Ba8\">“Shim El Yasmine,”\u003c/a> which translates to “Smell the Jasmine.” It’s a tender ballad about Sinno’s break-up with a man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was such a moment because I think it was the first time we had an openly gay Muslim singer sing in Arabic about what [they are] going through,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/-a2sOF_hhKw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/-a2sOF_hhKw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Salti said the common theme in all the music he plays is coexistence, whether it’s from artists living on the margins of Arab society or songs with more explicit messages of unity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of his go-to artists in the latter vein is Lebanese singer \u003ca href=\"https://www.taniasaleh.com/\">Tania Saleh\u003c/a> and her song \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_PbJg9v0CM\">“Omar and Ali.”\u003c/a> In it, she encourages Sunni and Shia Muslims to end their fighting and make peace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She says, ‘Get up Omar, get up Ali, shake hands and become brothers again,’” Salti explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On a more personal level, I myself happen to be a Christian Arab, but I’m always assumed to be Muslim,” he added. “A lot of people think the whole Arab world is Muslim.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he doesn’t typically correct people because he doesn’t want to feed an idea that there’s anything wrong with being Muslim. But it’s a reminder of the stereotypes he and other Arabs and Arab Americans face — and an added motivation for him to continue showcasing different Arab communities and perspectives through his show.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘We need to build bridges’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Ramzi’s dedication to amplifying indie Arab musicians has built him a solid reputation in that scene. Today, the show is a go-to platform for emerging Arab and Arab American musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m at a stage where every morning when I look at my email, and I look at my messages, there are people telling me about other people, [or] that I need to discover this band. Some bands send me their demos,” Salti said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the pandemic, Salti has been pre-recording his shows on a more sporadic schedule and releasing them as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.arabology.org/p/all-my-podcasts.html\">podcast\u003c/a> on streaming platforms, including a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyf1lyybLSdVr6N4eOuLe0w\">video podcast\u003c/a> on YouTube. This summer, he’s spending time in Jordan, where he plans to interview artists for new episodes of \u003cem>Arabology\u003c/em>. He otherwise hasn’t released a new show in a while, which he said is intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It feels weird and inhuman, maybe, to be playing dance music from that region at a time where people in that region are living a nightmare,” Salti said, referring to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti said that instead, he’s been discovering poetry by poets in Gaza, set to music. He cites one such production by \u003ca href=\"http://www.checkpoint303.com/\">Checkpoint 303\u003c/a>, a nonprofit, experimental music collective founded by Tunisian artist SC Mocha and Palestinian artist SC Yosh. They \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4QbAMK41XY\">remixed\u003c/a> the viral poem by Palestinian poet and professor Refaat Alareer titled \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/itranslate123/status/1719701312990830934\">“If I Must Die.”\u003c/a> Alareer published the poem on social media just weeks before he was killed in Gaza by an Israeli airstrike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The song itself is powerful,” Salti said. “It will make you really, really think about the violence that’s going on and how many potential artists, singers, poets are disappearing before they’ve even seen the world or been given a chance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Salti acknowledges the power of music as a means of expression and hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of Arab artists and even artists in Gaza itself are finding that music and poetry [are] one of the few outlets they have left,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti also likes to share songs that combine Hebrew and Arabic when he comes across them. “I’m so proud of these artists who come together, you know, Jewish artists with Muslim artists recording a duet. That, to me, is beautiful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because while Salti may switch up songs for his music mixes, one tune remains constant — his commitment to opening hearts and minds through music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She pointed to actions and statements that Jewish Voice for Peace — a pro-Palestinian, anti-Zionist Jewish advocacy group — has issued against JCRC in the last eight months, which include criticizing JCRC Bay Area for “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/C3eHX4BLkgI/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D&img_index=2\">running a cancellation campaign\u003c/a>” against pro-Palestinian advocates. SF Pride’s statement, she said, “basically try to put out there that ‘the trans Palestinian [referring to Mama Ganuush] does not know what they’re talking about.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their June 4 statement, Ford and Pham said that SF Pride “welcomed and continue[s] to welcome pro-Palestinian groups to the SF Pride Parade,” suggesting that interested groups could join the parade’s Resistance Contingent with the SF Pride Board or request a fee waiver to have their own float. SF Pride did not respond to KQED’s questions about whether such contingents had indeed requested to appear in the parade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know if some, we’ll say, ‘well-intentioned allies’ will try to do a Palestine float on their own,” Yaffa A.S. said. “But I think, from our end, we’ve told people not to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Policing at Pride\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The issue of police being present at Pride — including as participants in official events — has been a decadeslong point of contention, especially for queer people of color who police officers have targeted. Ganuush’s boycott proposal invoked the origins of Pride in the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, which started when patrons \u003ca href=\"https://guides.loc.gov/lgbtq-studies/stonewall-era\">pushed back against a police raid at a gay bar\u003c/a>. A police presence at Pride is an active contradiction, Ganuush wrote, to the “foundational anti-police-brutality ethos of Pride.”[aside label=\"More Coverage\" tag=\"pro-palestinian-protest\"]According to \u003ca href=\"https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/lgbq-people-six-times-more-likely-than-general-public-to-be-stopped-by-police/\">a 2021 study by UCLA\u003c/a>, queer people are six times more likely than the general public to be stopped by the police, with “heightened risk” for transgender women of color. At a 2020 SF Pride march, police officers raised their batons at \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11826511/police-raise-batons-at-sf-pride-marchers-oakland-passes-torch-in-solidarity\">a group of SF Pride marchers and Black Lives Matter protesters\u003c/a>. In 2022, marching queer police officers were asked by SF Pride organizers \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11917710/sfpd-officers-to-march-in-pride-amid-complicated-feelings-uniform-compromise\">not to wear their uniforms\u003c/a>. Recently, police officers have also been criticized for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11984845/pro-palestinian-protests-on-california-college-campuses-what-are-students-demanding\">their intense crackdowns on pro-Palestinian student protesters\u003c/a> on college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For its part, SF Pride said it has never called for an increased police presence. “The City of San Francisco required increased police presence in the wake of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016 and again after the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting in 2019,” the \u003ca href=\"https://sfpride.org/press-releases/statement-from-san-francisco-pride\">June 4 statement\u003c/a> reads. “SF Pride and San Francisco’s other large events do not dictate law enforcement responses and security strategies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JCRC CEO Gregory said his organization was worried about their float being targeted and was working with SF Pride to discuss security. Gregory pointed to \u003ca href=\"https://phillypride365.org/\">Philly Pride\u003c/a>, where pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the parade — an action which he called “\u003ca href=\"https://x.com/tyegregory/status/1797412053386457119?s=46&t=7BBzFwo6eYLzJIVfAlumEQ\">homophobic and transphobic\u003c/a>” on X.

She pointed to actions and statements that Jewish Voice for Peace — a pro-Palestinian, anti-Zionist Jewish advocacy group — has issued against JCRC in the last eight months, which include criticizing JCRC Bay Area for “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/C3eHX4BLkgI/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D&img_index=2\">running a cancellation campaign\u003c/a>” against pro-Palestinian advocates. SF Pride’s statement, she said, “basically try to put out there that ‘the trans Palestinian [referring to Mama Ganuush] does not know what they’re talking about.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their June 4 statement, Ford and Pham said that SF Pride “welcomed and continue[s] to welcome pro-Palestinian groups to the SF Pride Parade,” suggesting that interested groups could join the parade’s Resistance Contingent with the SF Pride Board or request a fee waiver to have their own float.

Ganuush’s boycott proposal invoked the origins of Pride in the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, which started when patrons \u003ca href=\"https://guides.loc.gov/lgbtq-studies/stonewall-era\">pushed back against a police raid at a gay bar\u003c/a>. A police presence at Pride is an active contradiction, Ganuush wrote, to the “foundational anti-police-brutality ethos of Pride.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(As reported by queer online news site Them, these \u003ca href=\"https://www.them.us/story/lgbtq-activists-are-disrupting-pride-events-for-palestine\">pro-Palestinian protesters were themselves part of the LGBTQ+ community\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gregory said that JCRC “wants to be deferential to SF Pride, and also to queer communities of color as to how security can work.” He added that “we have Jews of color that are going to march with us that have the same concerns as queer people of color.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Do I turn down this gig?’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Even before this year’s calls for a pro-Palestinian boycott of SF Pride, some artists planned to avoid official SF Pride events — and turn down paid performance opportunities — due to the organization’s stance on the war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a really hard ethical thing for drag performers and queer entertainers. … Do I pay my rent this month, or do I turn down this gig?” said Mama Celeste, the executive director of Oaklash, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13957872/oaklash-drag-festival-oakland-lgtbq-events-2024\">a drag festival based in Oakland\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>King LOTUS BOY, an Oakland drag king who serves on the Oaklash board, wrote in an Instagram story that he has dropped several gigs “due to them having ties to [Israel].” As a result, he said he lost $1,000 in gigs for June — events that he told KQED by email were associated with biotech company Gilead, which has \u003ca href=\"https://www.gileadisrael.co.il/en/about/gilead-in-israel\">financial ties to Israel\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t attended the SF Pride Parade or any official SF Pride events in over seven years for many reasons — increasingly militarized police presence, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11969701/this-is-resistance-how-queer-palestinian-artists-and-activists-in-the-bay-area-are-making-themselves-heard\">pinkwashing\u003c/a>, harmful corporate sponsorships — to name a few,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oaklash is one of the facilitators of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thebadfund/%20\">BAD (Bay Area Drag) Fund\u003c/a>, a mutual aid fund created to support artists who choose to opt out of gigs that may clash with their support of Palestinians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Celeste, who is Jewish, said the BAD Fund “gives people the ability to say no … because that’s not a luxury that many of us are afforded.” The fund, Celeste points out, is a way to lessen artists’ dependency on the wealthy, especially amid the economic disparity that has pushed many queer and trans artists out of the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Celeste said they and their colleagues were not out to shame performers who \u003cem>do\u003c/em> take these gigs. Instead, they wanted people to think about “ where our money comes from and where our money is going to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11990414\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11990414\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240126-GazaImmigration-03-BL_qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240126-GazaImmigration-03-BL_qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240126-GazaImmigration-03-BL_qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240126-GazaImmigration-03-BL_qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240126-GazaImmigration-03-BL_qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/240126-GazaImmigration-03-BL_qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mama Ganuush poses for a portrait in their home in San Francisco on Jan. 26, 2024. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mama Ganuush is hosting events, including a \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/bay2gazamutualaid/p/C7-Dfmzym6C/\">Cabaret Palestina\u003c/a> to assist the BAD Fund, featuring drag artists like King LOTUS BOY and Papi Churro — joining a list of \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/C79_Q8eyeUF/?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA%3D%3D&img_index=2\">alternative Pride events this month\u003c/a> that show solidarity with Palestinian activism.

The Hamas attack killed about 1,200 people, and Israel’s response has killed about 36,000 people so far, according to Israeli and Gazan authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s remarks advocated for an end to hostilities and called on Israel and Hamas to accept the plan as the only way to a lasting peace.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s plan came a day after his rival in the presidential race, former President Donald Trump, was convicted by a New York jury on 34 counts of business fraud. Trump, in remarks hours before Biden’s, blasted the verdict and, without evidence, said the White House had engineered it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden has been under increasing pressure over the conflict in Gaza and his support for the Israeli government’s response. He’s been trying to moderate that position amid criticism from his own allies that he’s not doing enough to stop the conflict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People all over the world have called for a cease-fire,” Biden said Friday. “Now it is time to raise your voices and demand that Hamas comes to the table, agrees to this deal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israel released a vague statement following Biden’s address, saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorized a proposal to maintain its goal of returning hostages as soon as possible but insisted that “the war will not end until all of [the Israeli government’s] goals are achieved, including the return of all our abductees and the elimination of Hamas’ military and governmental capabilities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That promise — to eliminate Hamas — appeared at odds with Biden’s call to end the fighting, in which he argued that the Palestinian militant group no longer had the capability to launch another attack similar to its Oct. 7 assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later Friday afternoon, Congress released a letter inviting Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How the cease-fire plan would unfold\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Biden began his remarks by first addressing the Trump’s guilty verdict, saying the justice system worked as it should and that it was dangerous for Trump to suggest otherwise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He then laid out the three phases of Israel’s proposal.[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"gaza\"]The first phase is six weeks: a full and complete cease-fire and withdrawal of Israeli forces from all populated areas of Gaza, as well as the release of a number of hostages — including American hostages — in exchange for the release of “hundreds” of Palestinian prisoners. The remains of hostages who have been killed would be returned to their families as well. Citizens in Gaza could return home to any part of the coastal enclave, and more aid — as much as 600 trucks a day — would be moved in to stave off what experts warn could be a looming famine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During that phase, he said, Israel and Hamas would negotiate a Phase 2: “a permanent end of hostilities.” As long as negotiations continue, the cease-fire would hold, potentially lasting longer than the initial six weeks. Phase 2 would also see the release of all remaining living hostages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Phase 3 would be the start of a “major reconstruction plan for Gaza,” and any final remains of hostages would be returned to their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>There are many challenges ahead\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Biden acknowledged that even some within the Israeli government do not agree with the plan and could put pressure on Israel to back off of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As the only American president who has ever gone to Israel in a time of war, as someone who just sent the U.S. forces to directly defend Israel when it was attacked by Iran, I ask you to take a step back and think, what will happen if this moment is lost,” Biden said. “We can’t lose this moment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that “indefinite war” will not defeat Hamas and “will not bring Israel lasting security.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, Israel’s national security adviser said the war would last at least another seven months. Families of hostages also said he told them that the war would not be stopped for their return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After Biden’s remarks, Hamas issued a statement saying it welcomed Biden’s call for a permanent cease-fire. It added: “The movement affirms its position of readiness to deal positively and constructively with any proposal based on a permanent cease-fire, complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, reconstruction, the return of the displaced to all their places of residence, and the completion of a serious prisoner exchange deal if the occupation declares its explicit commitment to that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A senior administration official put the onus on Hamas to accept the Israeli framework, suggesting the plan was similar to what Hamas has proposed recently itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Washington continues to focus attention on Israel\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Congressional leaders have spent the past several weeks negotiating a plan to invite Netanyahu to speak to lawmakers.

USF did not confirm those consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Father Paul Fitzgerald, the university president, met with encampment representatives on May 13 and said students who left voluntarily would be granted “amnesty” from discipline under the conduct code. Six students took advantage of that offer, according to a university statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11986812,news_11984645,news_11984845 label='Campus Protests']\u003cbr>\n“Every student who is notified that they have violated nonacademic rules or community standards resulting in an interim suspension receives fair, consistent and respectful treatment. Students always have the opportunity to have their perspectives heard in the course of the conduct process,” the university administration wrote in a statement shared with KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the university, after the encampment then shifted “from a peaceful protest to a campus disruption that monopolized USF’s resources,” officials took action against students who they alleged wrote graffiti on walls, affixed signage to the exterior of two buildings and left some remains of their encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university’s move came after leadership failed to negotiate with protesters over their demands in good faith, said Susu Steyteyieh, an environmental studies undergraduate student and an organizer of the encampment, which began April 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is retaliation. This is intimidation. This is just everything that they’re trying to do to get us to stop, to break us from our cause,” said Steyteyieh, who is 21.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The encampment began to voluntarily disband on Monday. University officials said they cleared out abandoned tents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we begin the process of repairing the physical damage to our campus and moving forward as a community, it is important to reflect on how we got here: The USF administration worked in good faith with several student leaders throughout the last three weeks against the backdrop of a national movement to push universities to divest from Israel and to declare genocide,” the campus wrote to its students and faculty on its website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A group of more than 80 faculty members, librarians and staffers at USF said campus administration used “words that misled” in its communications about the encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“‘Graffiti’ was the use of washable chalk, damage included tape residue left on poles, and disruption was exactly the point. Peaceful protests are peaceful but serve a disruptive purpose,” the group calling itself Educators for Justice in Palestine wrote to school leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some ways, the USF students’ demands echoed those of student protesters across the state: they wanted the university to be transparent about its investments and to divest from companies or organizations with ties to Israel, as well as to call the war in the Gaza Strip a genocide. USF leadership committed to establishing a “new socially responsible” advisory investment task force composed of students, faculty and staff, according to a university statement, but declined to declare the war a genocide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USF student protesters also wanted the private Jesuit university to end its participation in \u003ca href=\"https://www.centerfortransformativeeducation.org/beyond-bridges-israel-palestine\">the Beyond Bridges Israel-Palestine program\u003c/a>. Students from USF in the summer “visit Israel and Palestine, exploring this region with local scholars, religious and political leaders, and activists” to explore long-term solutions to end conflict, \u003ca href=\"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a547dcc49fc2b7b0398d8a0/t/639bb844b8097d47bfb7e23e/1671149637832/BBIP+S23+flyer.pdf\">according to a program brochure (PDF)\u003c/a>. A page detailing the program on USF’s website is \u003ca href=\"https://myusf.usfca.edu/immersions/academic/cas/israelpalestine\">inaccessible\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to be able to end that program and instate a Palestinian studies program here at our school where it’s taught by Palestinian professors to provide the same foundation as this trip, that they say is so transforming, here at USF,” Steyteyieh said. “We should be hearing what it’s like to be a Palestinian diaspora. We want to end all normalization of the state of Israel at our school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Steyteyieh, the protest is personal. A Palestinian who was raised in Napa, she said her mother survived an Israeli bombing that killed members of her family, including a grandmother, aunt and uncle, in Beirut in 1978. Steyteyieh counts two aunts among her family living in the West Bank, who she said have experienced fear from armed Israeli forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a generational cause,” she said. “We just want the school to know at the same time that we’re going to be back, we’re definitely not over, and that we’re going to get our demands met.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Peaceful protests are peaceful but serve a disruptive purpose,” the group calling itself Educators for Justice in Palestine wrote to school leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some ways, the USF students’ demands echoed those of student protesters across the state: they wanted the university to be transparent about its investments and to divest from companies or organizations with ties to Israel, as well as to call the war in the Gaza Strip a genocide. USF leadership committed to establishing a “new socially responsible” advisory investment task force composed of students, faculty and staff, according to a university statement, but declined to declare the war a genocide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USF student protesters also wanted the private Jesuit university to end its participation in \u003ca href=\"https://www.centerfortransformativeeducation.org/beyond-bridges-israel-palestine\">the Beyond Bridges Israel-Palestine program\u003c/a>. Students from USF in the summer “visit Israel and Palestine, exploring this region with local scholars, religious and political leaders, and activists” to explore long-term solutions to end conflict, \u003ca href=\"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a547dcc49fc2b7b0398d8a0/t/639bb844b8097d47bfb7e23e/1671149637832/BBIP+S23+flyer.pdf\">according to a program brochure (PDF)\u003c/a>.

We want to end all normalization of the state of Israel at our school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Steyteyieh, the protest is personal. A Palestinian who was raised in Napa, she said her mother survived an Israeli bombing that killed members of her family, including a grandmother, aunt and uncle, in Beirut in 1978. Steyteyieh counts two aunts among her family living in the West Bank, who she said have experienced fear from armed Israeli forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a generational cause,” she said. “We just want the school to know at the same time that we’re going to be back, we’re definitely not over, and that we’re going to get our demands met.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
