As the ICJ orders Israel to stop its invasion of Rafah, staff at Radboud staged a die in and made it extremely clear, like students, we will accept nothing less than immediate boycott. Zionism is unravelling before our eyes.

Over 200 staff (and growing) at Radboud University @[email protected] have signed an open letter supporting protesting students, both their demands for immediate boycott of Israeli institutions and companies and their right to remain. voxweb.nl/english/more-t…

Today human rights organisations launched a criminal case against Booking.com for their listings in illegal Israeli settlements. Oh and XR Justice Now gave them a little welcome gift outside their office

Horrifying images of the Israeli bombardment of Gaza city, North Gaza and Rafah in the last 24 hours. At least 35 Palestinians were killed including many children.

A coalition of all student encampments in the Netherlands have released a powerful statement rejecting the offer of ethical commissions to evaluate all ties that Dutch universities are offering now. They also defiantly defend their protests to achieve an immediate boycott.

The UvA Amsterdam has just sent this email to their staff and students. Mindblowing. Nothing on sending riot police on their own students. Despite recognising horrors in Gaza, their only solution is more talking. The movement will continue. Boycott now.

It's official, arrest warrants have been issued against Israeli prime minister Netanyahu and defense minister Gallant for crimes against humanity. Perhaps this will be enough for our institutions to break their complicity with this genocidal regime.

My only child, we heard it many times in many videos. Two of my cousins have lost their only child.
Only in Gaza could you see videos like these.

This should be inspiration to us all in moments where we feel like giving up or accepting deals. Full boycott is possible and it only comes if we all day united. That's what Palestinians demand of us.

How they hold each other tightly while they listen 🥹 It’s such a relief to see kids just being kids, living a tiny moment of normalcy amidst the rubble. I wonder if they understand and explain some of the lyrics to each other. The girl with the flaming red locks has my heart.

Here is the answer to the board statement. Students at Radboud have occupied a lecture hall, CC1, renaming it Refaat Alareer Hall and will have a program of lectures for the afternoon

The Radboud CvB offered to set up a commission to evaluate ties based on value of 'open science'. This means stalling and continuation. The students reject this. We already know that 'open science' with Israeli universities means genocide and ethnic cleansing.

This lunch time students greeted the CvB at Radboud University @[email protected] with a reminder of their continued complicity during a genocide. University CvBs keep stalling. We need action now, not tomorrow, not next month.

And the flags are back! Because it was so widely appreciated last time flags have been erected again at Radboud University @[email protected]. This time at half mast to acknowledge the unimaginable suffering of Palestinians in Gaza and beyond at the hands of the genocidal Israeli state.
