Re <<Which side is she on?>> She is on no-side, apparently. (1) the coconut is totally unfamiliar w/ identity(ies) politic(s) in that the way she was brought up from the get-go was, and Jack now, is to be inclusive, helpful, respectful, ... , observe, learn, deliberate, etc etc etc, and we have not emphasised much about identity(ies) except that she is unique :0) (2) what the nut finds bewildering is that the school is split asunder, she has friends on both sides of the simultaneous equations, and she was SURPRISED that she has Jewish family - a shocker that we never pointed out the obvious to her, that her Russian cousin en.wikipedia.org Yolanda ("Iolanda is a Jew?") is Jewish due to maternal and paternal lineage, and her two paternal uncles are ... drum roll ... Jews, due to maternal lineage, and one uncle married to a Uyghur Muslim (3) the nut also, but just found out from my mention, that one of my better friends is American Palestinian whose extended family has something to do with some key to some church in Jerusalem (4) I asked the nut what she thought of the latest in ME and she thought (and she knows the history better than I do) (a) the history of the region is long (b) conflicts many, or too many (c) resolution(s) can only be one of quite a few, and only one good, and rest bad, worse, and worst (5) the nut knows that all domains on this planet has an authoritative script / narrative re the ME (6) the nut has friends from the dorm, dance company, humour magazine, sorority, and from her classes, and count amongst them Jews, WASP types, Chinese of various genre, etc generally a mixed bag (7) specifically re your question, <<Which side is she on?>> ... she reckons "all sides need to stop fighting the war, and that happens by dialogue amongst all sides and also with people on no-side, but before that can happen, a lot more happens by force arms in the lead up" (8) she likes this I sent to her

Re <<Which side is she on?>> ... following on to Message 34447844 now the word is out Last Thursday the campus at Columbia University in New York was shut down after a confrontation between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian students following an attack on an Israeli student. scmp.com Chinese embassy in US warns students against joining protests over Israel-Hamas conflict - Students told to ‘avoid going to crowded public places’ where demonstrations are being held after a series of incidents at leading US universities - China’s embassy in France also warned its citizens to be alert to security risks following a fatal knife attack on a teacher last week Yuanyue Dang in Beijing Published: 5:34pm, 17 Oct, 2023 The Chinese embassy in the United States has advised Chinese students to stay away from protests related to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. “The embassy reminds students studying in the US to pay attention to campus protests and the local security situation, enhance their risk awareness, strengthen self-protection and avoid going to crowded public places involved in demonstrations,” the Chinese embassy in the US said on its public WeChat account on Tuesday morning. Chinese social media erupts in war of words as Palestine crisis divides opinion 14 Oct 2023 Violent protests have broken out on some US university campuses, the embassy said. “These conflicts have the potential to spread to campuses across the US. The safety of our students is at greater risk,” the warning said. The war has also prompted demonstrations at several leading universities, including the University of California, Los Angeles and Georgetown University in Washington. Last Thursday the campus at Columbia University in New York was shut down after a confrontation between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian students following an attack on an Israeli student. So far the violence that followed the Hamas attack on Israel has claimed more than 4,200 lives on both sides. Protesters on both sides of Israel-Hamas conflict flood streets around the world China has not publicly backed either side in the conflict and it appears to be trying to position itself as a mediator. However, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in a phone call to his Saudi counterpart, Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, on Saturday that Israel’s actions had “gone beyond self-defence”. Apart from the embassy in Washington, other Chinese embassies have also warned Chinese citizens abroad to stay safe amid rising tensions over the Middle East conflict.

A man in his 20s has been arrested over the attack, which President Emmanuel Macron blamed on “Islamist terrorism”. In response, the Chinese embassy in France issued a reminder on WeChat, saying Chinese nationals should “pay close attention to the social situation and personal safety, and avoid making sensitive and excessive remarks”.
