Gaza solidarity camp set up at Sciences Po in Paris
Students at Sciences Po in Paris have set up an antiwar camp in solidarity with the people of Gaza. Video clips shared on social media show tents pitched inside the university’s Saint Thomas campus and Palestinian flags hanging from buildings.
According to the French news agency AFP, the protesters are demanding that Sciences Po management cut all ties to Israeli universities and companies that are “complicit in the genocide in Gaza”, and are also calling for an end to “repression against pro-Palestinian voices on campus”.
The encampment, organised by the Palestine Committee of Sciences Po, comes as students have mobilised at universities across the US.
Thousands of students remain at USC protest after arrests
We told you earlier that there was a group of students here who had committed to being arrested. That group has been completely removed now. The last student was just taken away minutes ago. The only thing that’s left now is a Palestinian flag crumpled on the ground.
There are still thousands, perhaps, of other students outside the police perimeter here who have been chanting ‘Let them go’.
The protests, of course, centred around Israel’s war on Gaza. The students are demanding a ceasefire, demanding an end to US support in terms of weaponry for the Israeli military, and closer to home, demanding that the university itself divest from any ties to Israeli institutions.
USC Public Safety officers surrounded students at the University of Southern California’s Alumni Park on Wednesday
I've never seen a single public safety officer in my 4 years at the University of Amsterdam. However when protesting in The Hague the Dutch police send the ME (military police) in to violently disperse the crowd. (Which led to parliamentary inquiries later) Protect the establishment against the children.
This has become a war on children world wide.
Most of this and the ludicrous mainstream media reaction is of course to distract
Number of bodies recovered from Nasser Hospital rises to 324
Palestinian Civil Defence teams have recovered 324 dead bodies at Nasser Hospital as of Wednesday, the UN humanitarian agency, OCHA, has said in its latest daily update. OCHA cited Palestinian Civil Defence as saying women, elderly persons and patients were among the people found buried at the hospital, and noted, “only few were identified”.
UN human rights chief Volker Turk on Tuesday called for “independent, effective and transparent investigations” into the deaths.
“Hospitals are entitled to very special protection under international humanitarian law, and the intentional killing of civilians, detainees and others who are hors de combat is a war crime,” Turk added.
