LEUVEN KUL ISRAEL-PALESTINE CONFLICT PROTEST
This Monday, students at the KU Leuven will begin occupying one or more of the university's buildings. They are calling on the institution's management to end its collaboration with Israeli universities.
Since the end of April, demonstrations have been held on American campuses to denounce Israel's war in the Gaza Strip. Launched by Columbia students in New York, the movement has since spread to the USA and around the world (including Sydney, Dublin and Amsterdam).
In Belgium, the University of Ghent took part in the protest movement, followed by Brussels institutions ULB and VUB. The activists from Ghent Students For Palestine and End Fossil Ghent demand that Ghent University sever all ties with Israeli institutions and make sustainability considerations central to budgetary and educational choices. The activists will occupy the University Forum, also known as the UFO building, on Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat until Wednesday. UGent did not respond to their demands and did not give permission for the occupation, but agreements were made with the occupiers. The activists brought tents to spend the night in the building and placed banners with slogans such as ‘stop the lies, cut all ties’.
