While the regime's elites send their daughters to study and live freely in the U.S. and Europe, our daughters in Iran are jailed for showing their hair. We will NOT stay silent while our sisters are caged for demanding their basic rights! #FreeIran #WomanLifeFreedom #EndTheRegime

@adhdchroniclez Might be more profitable for MIT to cut ties with these students instead.

🚨MIT Cuts Ties With Israeli Weapons Maker Elbit Systems After Student-Led Campaign In one of the most high-profile academic dissociations from an Israeli weapons manufacturer in the U.S. to date, MIT has cut ties with Elbit Systems following a six-month campaign led by the MIT Coalition for Palestine and BDS Boston. ➤ The decision removes Elbit from MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program (ILP), a membership platform that connects corporations with MIT’s research labs, faculty experts, and emerging technologies. ➤ Elbit Systems is Israel’s largest private arms company, supplying drones, surveillance systems, and other military equipment used in genocide in Gaza and across occupied Palestinian territories. ➤ The campaign targeting MIT’s relationship with Elbit reportedly involved disrupting ILP conferences in Boston, Bangkok, Seoul, and Tokyo. ➤ “Let this be a message to all the merchants of death: You have been put on notice.” Student organizers called the move a victory for academic accountability and a rejection of partnerships with firms complicit in Israeli war crimes.

“We are watching Israel try to wipe Palestine off the face of the earth” At MIT’s 2025 commencement on May 29, Class President Megha Vemuri condemned the university’s ties to Israel’s military and defense industry, calling it “a shame that MIT is a part of it.” As the ceremony ended, graduates raised a Palestinian flag and chanted, “Free, Free Palestine!” Student organizers have escalated pressure on MIT to sever ties with Israel’s arms industry. Earlier this year, they scored a major victory as MIT ended its partnership with Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer. Elbit drones and surveillance systems have been widely used in Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. MIT President Sally Kornbluth, who spoke immediately after Vemuri, did not address her remarks. Kornbluth had last year been called before Congress to testify about “antisemitism” on campus.
