we will look at how princeton and the university of pennsylvania have used bones from one or two of the merger children in their classes for years -- murdered children in their classes for years. >> they've been holding onto the remains of two children, two like children, for over 36 years. amy: all of that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the quarantine report. i'm amy goodman. israeli airstrikes have killed at least 26 palestinians in the gaza strip, including nine children, as tension in the region has escalated sharply over the past day. in one incident, seven members of a single family in gaza were killed, including three children. >> what happened here is we were sitting outside the house, waiting for them breaking the fast. how is this the children's fault? girls between seven and nine have been killed. how is this their fault? we were just sitting outside waiting for the call to prayer. amy: the attacks came after 700 palestinians were injured in jerusalem and the west bank by israeli security forces on monday, including a violent crackdown insid

i'm here in princeton, new jersey, and something like 67% of adults are vaccinated. 14 miles away in3%. so, you know, if you're looking across the state of new jersey, we're doing incredibly well, around 60%. but it doesn't talk about the local circumstance where you really need to say, all right, there are certain communities that you have to step up the efforts in a really big way to increase the vaccination coverage. >> and for people not familiar with new jersey, perhaps people watching internationally, princeton, obviously the home of princeton college, a very educated and wealthy part of new jersey, and trenton a little bit more disadvantaged, people do not necessarily have connections to the health care system, and even some vaccine skepticism there. dr. besser, since covid began, holidays have historically led to a spike in cases. do you think we'll see that a few weeks after memorial day? >> i think we're much less likely to see it than we have with other holidays. right now, the disease transmission rates across the country are as low as they've been since last spring, befo

a letter that he writes to one of his sisters afterwards and that particular letter is with the princeton collection, he note that is he never had a notion of actually being hit or wounded but what he experienced and what he saw at gettysburg of dead bodies and people's life blood flowing out of them, disabused him of that notion and for him, war ceased to be -- he calls -- he says something along the lives, the novelty had worn off. >> you see a change in the way that he illustrates his experiences of war or what he sees of the war and the battlefield after his experiences at gettysburg, or does he kind of maintain the same kind of whimsical, charming, more sanitized representations of war from that point on? >> right. and that's another thing to note too that particularly when -- sort of a little bit maybe like '64 when they're done on the overland campaign, he's not sketching on his letters quite as much. i think the illustrations still have -- the one that we just looked at with -- we live upstairs now and the kind of whimsical look, that's a month after gettysburg. and so -- again, w

stephen kotkin is professor of history and international affairs at princeton university and maria murillo is a professor of science at columbia and is also serving as director for the institute of latin american studies. without further ado i will hand it over to tim to talk about his book before. >> thanks a lot. it's really a pleasure to be here and i want to thank you in the palace for taking time out of your busy schedules particularly during a pandemic. i really appreciate your effort and hearing what you have to say about the book. the simplest way to describe "weak strongman" the limits of power in putin's russia is that it's explainable. translate what i think is the best academic research over the last decade for a general audience on a host of interesting questions. spuyten really popular? do you elections matter? the's propaganda ineffective cliques why are relations with the left so fraught. the book should have something for you whether you identify as a russian or is someone who has russian experience. there's no shortage of books on russia so why should you read this one? t

the plan to go to philadelphia, a decisive battle, i think by then by early 1777 especially after princeton, i think he realized washington in washington's army was the american center gravity. if he could destroy the army, that would and rebellion. he's not able to get his victory. he can't get that final decisive victory. after that, the workers into that different phase were ultimately is going down to the south and then you really have an insurgency like conflict and i think by then, only the americans could have beat themselves at that time. that is my personal assessment. when you look at how the saratoga campaign played out among one of the options actually does present, which he presents in a throwaway afterthought manner as well, one thing we could do would be to use the navy, load up troops in canada, bring them back to new york and now we have this immense army and that army would, could have been enough to track down and destroy washington in the philadelphia campaign. that doesn't obviously happen but i think that was there last opportunity so does go back to what he was talkin

ambassador to egypt and israel and he is currently professor of middle eastern policy studies at princeton university sir thank you so much for your time on the biden administration arguably facing its 1st major international crisis and it is choosing to stay on the sidelines is that a good idea. no it's not a good idea at all because we're in a mad rush to full scale full scale war and it's a war that neither hamas nor israel really wants but each of them has reasons to respond to the other's provocations and neither of them has the capability of getting out of this on their own we've seen this movie before 2014 and that war went on for almost 2 months with hundreds and hundreds of casualties and so with there needs to be an activation of very serious diplomacy and not just words there has to be actions by the united states and others including in the arab world to try to tamp down this rush to a war where arguably the only country really with any significant leverage and the ability to make a meaningful impact and intervention at this stage is the u.s. well we have the relationship with

i met him in person when i was teaching at princeton he was kind enough to send me copies of the book. i get a lot of requests for blurbs. normally when i do them, i read ten or 15 or 20 pages. this i cannot stop reading it. i found it beautifully written, exciting, much like the right stuff but in a different era of branson and virgin galactic in the future of space travel. so what sparked your interest in it? you worked in new york at the time. 2014? >> that's when i got started. >> it's truly an honor to be in conversation and with our lifetime hero of mine when i started reading one of the pivotal books in my decade was started at five. when i thought about this project from the beginning it was how do i take the subject matter and approach it like friday night lights? and that really started in 2014 which is a critical and pivotal moment for me on halloween 2014, virgin galactic was find a supersonic test flight and this spaceship just to show real quick on the cover, they have a very unique airlines system which uses a wide wing mothership to carry this spaceship aloft to 45000

another student says for a point of information, it is now called the princeton school for public and international affairs. i think that is something that we could look at. i want to quickly share my screen again and show you a couple of images of some current monuments that i think will give you a sense of this. these were not yet up when i got this photo. the photo might be a little old. the memphis suffrage monument talking about equality trailblazers. the person in the middle is supposed to be mary church terrell. i could not recognize her from this image. over at the far right is iw wells. there are attempts to create new monuments that tell different stories. another version of this is a new york central park. it has so german truth, susan b. anthony, and elizabeth cady stanton of this was controversial because at first it was not going to include a black woman. after protests from people in new york city and elsewhere, the sculptor was asked to include sojourner truth. then when the first model came back, she was sitting in a way that didn't have any dynamism to her. people pr

and of course he was burned and late 76 early 77 with the trenton princeton campaign that washington conducted against him. so he decides to use the mobility of the royal navy and is a of course commanded the royal navy. he loads his troops on ships. and his plan is, let me go back in seconds, so his plan then is to load on ships and take his army by c. and they will ultimately end up going up the chesapeake bay, land south of philadelphiach and then he will march on philadelphia. that is house plan. again, fairly straightforward. obviously these are two very, very different plans. it is up to jermaine to coordinate these plants but there's jermaine in the center and then he is got howe off to the left there and we are going to the right. the problem of course is there is tierney a distance of 3000 miles between london and new york. new gotan the commander-in-chief sitting in new york 3000 miles away when you got messages that can take two to three months to go back and forth across "the atlantic", it makes it very, very difficult to coordinate a campaign. decision-makers in london a

hit-and-run, this happened a little before 10:00 last night in south san jose, on koozer road near princeton plaza mall. video from the scene shows what appears to be a mangled segway device. police are not saying if the victim was riding it before being struck but say the victim was a pedestrian. >>> also new for you this morning, richmond police are asking for help solving two deadly shootings less than 30 minutes apart. they happened on april 27th the first 7:00 p.m. on south?÷ seco street and about 15 minutes later, responded to another shooting at an apartment complex five minutes away. in both cases, the victims died in the car. it's not clear if those shooting are connected. >>> turning to our climate in crisis. before you water your lawn or your plants, you may want to check for new rules placed in your area because of the drought. there are restrictions in the north bay. sharon katsuda is live in san ramon to show us how this may be a sign of things to come elsewhere, sharon. >> reporter: that's right, marcus. these new rules apply to different communities, but since the state is ex

but also recently princeton university took his name off of all their buildings and the woodrow wilson institute is no longer called the woodrow wilson institute, and i have to admit i can't remember what they're calling it now, but that's in you know one of these things another student asks, do you think that the controversy over christopher columbus monuments fits in with this story about confederate monuments and i would say yes, i mean here at ud we have a new this year. we've created a ud anti-racism initiative and within that there's a subcommittee called legacies of enslavement and dispossession at ud which is really looking at the question of not just enslavement and it's history to our campus but also dispossession of native americans and one of the things that is clear is when you're talking about monuments to white supremacy. a lot of people think that the columbus statues play that same role by heroizing someone who came in and helped with an imperialist colonizing project that led to a lot of destruction of native american lands and also lives and so in that context, of co

princeton, new jersey. i spent a few years there and was actually there a few weeks ago where i witnessed the most social distancing restaurant i have ever seen. it looked a bit well, like this. you see, educated actually means indoctrinated harvard, d.c., princeton, which means leftists which today means uber woke. and in the high church of leftist wokeness, the mask has become the highest of holy symbols. the mask has become the left's maga hat. science or no science, it has become a virtue signal that they cannot quit. and their dear leader whether he is actually aware of it or not and i certainly have my doubts, is giving the covid zealots every reason to maintain their fake moral high ground. joe biden is vaccinated. joe biden is in a bubble. secret service. joe biden is distanced and joe biden must find his mask. watch this. >> where is it? go get it. >> pete: wrong clip. i'm knew to this prime time thing. i meant this one. ♪ ♪ >> i'm looking for my mask. i'm in trouble. >> pete: it went on and on and

the last job he had in his life was the president of the college of new jersey at princeton. so he was the president of princeton college because he had that kind of intellectual reputation. and he also when he preached including sinners in the hands of anger god when he preached. he had a manuscript in front of them that he had handwritten out. and he read the manuscript now. i think he would try to give it some feeling but the power of his sermons is in the content. it's not in the rhetorical fireworks, right? so when he gave sinners in the hands of angry god in 1741. it got an intense reaction from the people who were there and some of the people. at the meeting when he gave it. started crying out for mercy and what? what can i do to be saved right? i mean there they were terrified of the judgment of god, and that's some of the falling out in the aisles and crying and this sort of thing and when edward saw what was happening it was getting noisier and noisier and in the meeting. meeting room he closed up his sermon as i think we're okay. we don't need to. get this crazy, r

this is the chair of the department of african-american studies at princeton university from today's "washington post," the headline of his column "it's painful to remember, we have to remember." he writes, we have to remember those 9 minutes and 29 seconds. we have to recall floyd's cries for his mother, his pleas for mercy. we have to confront the utter disregard of chauvin's face and the complicity of the police officers around him. if we don't, western certainly forget. he says i suspect the country is desperate for some form of praise. we want to congratulate ourselves for how far we've come in doing what we should have done a long time ago and we want people especially black people to be grateful for our efforts to tinker around the edges. i pray, he writes, that this anniversary disrupts the national urge to pat ourselves on the back. all too often the rush to self-congratulate involves forgetting. we leave behind the dead and go about business as usual, content with ourselves as we are now. and the dead continue to pile up. today's "washington post." it was last june that geo
