Day 3 of the Palestine solidarity encampment at the University of Toronto UofT Occupy for Palestine

⛺️ A lot more tents today & a lot more families. The JewishFaculty.ca also had their own tented area setup.

It’s absurd that some people characterize this place as threatening or unsafe.

I see a prof relaying personal experience with unnamed U of T protesters, and making some conclusions, being congratulated for “shoe leather reporting.” He didn’t claim to be doing journalism, and he wasn’t. This is journalism

Daymn.

UofT has issued a 10pm deadline for the encampment to be dismantled & for students to evacuate.

Parsa, a University of Toronto student, says open letters, teach-ins, and meetings have not moved school administrators to divest from the state of Israel. Now students have set up camp at King's College Circle

'We've basically exhausted every means of protest at our disposal.'

Love this

NEWS: Dozens of student demonstrators calling for a ceasefire in Gaza have entered King's College Circle at the University of Toronto and are setting up tents

They chant, 'End the surge let them breathe!' and 'U of T pick a side, ceasefire not genocide!'

Not gonna lie, we can tell by the way some of y’all quoting police accounts of protests that you’ve never had to actually cover a protest
