💠Pro-Palestine Students Dig in on Campuses Across Europe💠
The university said on Monday it had exchange programs with three universities in Israel, which are halted because of security concerns, and was cooperating with Zionist scientists or companies in eight different European research projects.
On Tuesday, police dispersed protests at the Swiss University of Zurich and at the courtyard of the Freie Universitaet Berlin.
Last week, police took similar action at the Sorbonne University in Paris, while on Wednesday the Brussels University said it would file a police complaint against students who were involved in a protest.
In a response to protesters, Ireland’s Trinity College Dublin (TCD) said this week that it would pull investments from Israeli companies that the United Nations link to settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, following a student protest over the war in Gaza.
Students have been camping out in the college grounds since May 3, forcing the university to restrict campus access and to close an exhibition of the 1,200-year-old Book of Kells, one of Ireland’s top tourist attractions.
On Monday evening, TCD said it condemned “the atrocities of October 7th and the continuing ferocious and disproportionate onslaught in Gaza” and it had “initiated a process to divest from investments in companies that have activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory”.
