💠Pro-Palestine Students Dig in on Campuses Across Europe💠
Students at universities in several European countries have followed the actions on U.S. campuses where demonstrators have occupied halls and facilities to demand an end to partnerships with Israeli institutions because of Israel’s punishing assault on Gaza.
Police have also intervened to clear campuses in the United States, Netherlands and Switzerland.
Pro-Palestinian protesters built barricades at the University of Amsterdam on Wednesday, using desks and railings to block off the canalside entrance in the heart of the city as they vowed to stay put until the institution severs all ties with Israel.
Riot police used a bulldozer to knock down barricades at another UvA site on Tuesday and detained 169 people, but said the university had not yet asked for similar intervention on Wednesday.
UvA management were hoping talks on Wednesday will bring an end to the protests, but the students were digging in, pulling up bricks from the streets and pavements near to the 19th century campus and forming human chains to send them to the barricade.
The protesters say the Israeli institutions the university works with profit from the oppression of Palestinians.
“We will remain until UvA, VU and AUC DISCLOSE, BOYCOTT, AND DIVEST!,” the organizers, amsterdam.encampment, said on Instagram overnight. They were referring to two other institutions in the city, although all the protests are at UvA.
