Opinion: University administration, police target Palestinian UTD alum
On June 26 at 2 p.m., a state trooper in Denton County targeted and arrested recent UTD graduate and former president of Students for Justice in Palestine, Mousa Najjar. UTDPD authorized his arrest with the backing of Dean of Students Amanda Smith and university administration for protesting the ongoing occupation of Palestine and genocide in Gaza. A few weeks prior to his graduation, Najjar was arrested alongside 20 other students, professors and community members when UTD called state troopers and multiple police departments to brutalize and remove participants of the Gaza Liberation Plaza. The details that emerged regarding his second arrest revealed the lengths UTD took to suppress its students’ voices, despite the university’s silence on the increase in Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian hate crimes all over Texas, including at UTD. This is the reality that the UTD and DFW communities must face to keep each other safe from profit-driven institutions and their targeted attacks.
