Dr.Alaa-Al Azzeh from Birzeit University expressed how HE always remains the least of anyone’s concern during war, and even more so when re-building society. It is important that any support needs to be unconditional and led and enabled by Palestinians. #FreePalestine

⚠️BREAKING | Warwick University students in the UK have established an encampment in solidarity with Gaza.

“We rise up in unison with fellow students all over the world!”

“If knowledge is precious, then life is even more precious,” said former UNSR on 🇵🇸 Michael Lynk as he kickstarted today’s event highlighting the importance of intl HE solidarity with Gaza + with those who are being attacked for standing up for Palestine. #FreePalestine

This is what his state has done to Gaza's universities.

Good question!

Universities should uphold, respect, and promote students' and academics' right to protest, not be the ones to repress it!

Shocking to see campus protests being met with this kind of reaction from law enforcement.

We remember the protests on US campuses in 60s-70s against the Vietnam war.

Students then, and students now, are on the right side of history.

Universities should uphold, respect, and promote students' and academics' right to peaceful protest, not be the ones to repress it!

UN experts condemn callous #Israeli attacks on educational infrastructure, cultural heritage sites and libraries in #Gaza . “The foundations of Palestinian society are being reduced to rubble, their history is being erased.”

As 100s of students were arrested for exercising their right to p/assembly in support of #Palestine , I remind Columbia University to respect academic freedoms and student’s fundamental rights. The right to p/assembly is key for people to speak out against injustices& to mobilise for  #peace

Vi er enige med rektor ved UiO, Svein Stølen!

Det må legges til rette for at norske universiteter og høyskoler kan gjøre mer for studenter og akademikere på flukt.

Dersom verdenssamfunnet klarer å skattlegge de rikeste og største selskapene på en mer effektiv og rettferdig måte, kan utdanningsbudsjettene i det globale sør øke med 93 mrd dollar årlig.
