GSST Department Statement on Palestine

The Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies (GSST) proudly stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people and calls for the end of the genocide in Gaza. GSST is committed to the values of freedom and social justice in all communities around the world, and therefore, we call for the right of the Palestinian people for self-determination and liberation from settler colonialism.

We fully support a ceasefire in Gaza and allowing human aid to its devastated and traumatized population. We also recognize these measures as the first steps in addressing the occupation and stopping the devastating violence. The state of Israel, with the unrelenting support of the United States, has inflicted ruin and death on thousands and created mass displacement and dispossession across the Levant. Every day, every minute, every second, the death toll is rising. These violent measures are war crimes. We also fully support UCR-SJP's call to work towards UC divestment from corporations that are complicit, including, but not limited to: Hewlett-Packard, Caterpillar, Raytheon, and Boeing.

The department would like to reach out to those traumatized by this genocide, especially our Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students, a number of whom were and continue to be subjected to Islamophobia, anti-Arab and anti-Muslim racism, and anti-Palestinian violence and hatred. These acts of discrimination and intimidation are unacceptable. The Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies is committed to highlighting Palestinian rights, and we will continue to organize events and teach in our classrooms and communities about settler colonialism, militarization, and genocide and the harm that violence inflicts on marginalized people’s lives. We remain steadfastly committed to teaching, research, and service that advances freedom and liberation for all. As Black activist Fannie Lou Hamer said: “No one is free until everyone is free.”
