From New York, this is Democracy Now.

Students at campuses across this country and across the world who

opposed and opposed genocide in Palestine were on the right side of history.

They still are, we still are. History will judge the war criminals who have slaughtered

tens and tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Gaza, starving them, letting them die

of thirst of their wounds, funding, arming this genocide. Rashid Khaledi, the renowned Edward Said, professor emeritus of modern Arab studies at Columbia University,

says he's withdrawing from teaching his fall course due to the school's major New Deal with Trump.

He says, quote,

the university's draconian policies

and new definition of anti-Semitism

make much teaching impossible.

We'll speak with Rashid Khalidi,

author of, among other books,

The Hundred Years' War on Palestine.

Then a ProPublica investigation reveals how

hundreds of Venezuelan men deported to El Salvador,

then released to Venezuela by the Trump administration,

say they endured months of physical and mental abuse

inside the Salvadoran prison, Seqat.

The United States sent us to El Salvador so that El Salvador could do the dirty work that the U.S. couldn't.

And justice will only come through the truths and testimonies of each of us.

All that and more more coming up. Welcome to Democracy Now.
