A revealing window into a pro-Palestinian encampment occupying a central area of the University of Toronto campus. Its express purpose is to challenge the school’s investments in various entities – corporations, banks, etc. – fuelling the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine, including the ongoing genocidal assault on Gaza.
Key organisers of the encampment share how they’ve undertaken the challenge (for several weeks), the pushback from the university, and how long they intend to keep the encampment going despite sustained, and arguably undemocratic, pressure from the University of Toronto to stop it.
A ridiculous amount of hand-wringing on @occupyuoft's protests when it is the illegality of @UofT that needs scrutiny. Over a dozen UN experts have stated that failure to prevent or mitigate business relationships with Israeli violations can result in liability for complicitly. https://t.co/Voc6oWroRa pic.twitter.com/q6NnRa1Dbj
