	1	+====Welcome to the University of California Berkeley where recently administrators have made it clear that only an actual riot would justify canceling a fascist's on campus lecture, but where just last semester, the same administration shut down a legitimate course on Palestine resistance to colonization. As Steven Salaita notes, the distinction between each situation is a relationship to power as it relates to free speech. ====
	2	+It's important to keep in mind that free speech, in both philosophy and practice, is attached to structures of power (seen and unseen, discernible and oblique, steady and unstable). Despite the state's professions of fairness and benevolence, free speech is never fixed or impartial. It is prosecuted according to circumstance. It is reified based on the needs of the audience. And it is conditioned by race, gender, nationality, class, religion, ideology, culture, sexuality and so forth.

Students, educators, and activist clubs are silenced and punished for their activism against violence occurring in Palestine.====

	25	+====The affirmative advocacy is not a pragmatic course of action nor an acceptance of the state but rather a radical rejection of status quo settler-colonialist policies and practices that seek to silence and erase indigenous populations. Our method of anarcha-indigenism cultivates a "Meeting-Point" for ethical scholarship and resistance which Challenges multiple modes of violence with an uncompromising refusal of state involvement that is key to break down settler colonialism.====

	32	+====We must recognize that the university is interested in the maintenance of power and domination. However, disengagement represents a privileged position that ignores settler colonial violence, as activist academics we have an ethical obligation to facilitate resistance within these spaces by mapping and detailing contradictions within the system to open the space for radical politics. This means the affirmative is prerequisite to any alternative. Recognizing that settler colonialism maintains itself in speech codes and by stifling Palestinian dissent is an example of one such institutional ethnographic method.====
