Maynooth University sent an email to staff & students this week that could have been about any 'humanitarian crisis'. It has only fuelled anger, even shock, at their continued lack of moral backbone.

Good response here from Maynooth BDS

Full solidarity and support to Maynooth BDS seeking to get their university to divest from genocide

This was won by the commitment, organization and practical solidarity of Trinity students. We'll be continuing to work with them, and within college structures to end any and all complicity with apartheid and genocide.

AfP member Harun Šiljak @E73HS spoke in support of the student encampment at TCD this afternoon as part of an IPSC emergency demonstration outside the Dáil calling for government action in response to Israel’s barbaric attack on Rafah.
