SUMMARY:From the River to the Sea\, Palestine Will Be Free: Student Day of 
 Action
DESCRIPTION:\n\nDIVEST NOW / FREE PALESTINE / END APARTHEID\n\nIn the last 
 year the Israeli military has killed more Palestinians in the West Bank th
 an in any year since 2014\, with more than 170 killings to date\, includin
 g more than 30 children. As Israel approached its elections\, and in the f
 ace of sustained Palestinian resistance to injustice\, this violence inten
 sified further. The election\, when it came\, brought into government a fa
 r-right racist and homophobic bloc. This intensification of violence is a 
 function of the enforcement of a racist system of power that is now accept
 ed across International civil society as meeting the definition of aparthe
 id. Palestinians resisting apartheid need our solidarity more than ever.\n
 \nYet here in Britain\, the government has threatened to bring in a law ai
 ming to prevent public bodies like universities from divesting from compan
 ies involved in the abuse of Palestinian rights\, and\, last year\, the th
 en-Education Secretary threatened that universities should report students
  who call for Palestinian liberation “from the river to the sea” to th
 e police (aside from being incredibly draconian\, this would be near impos
 sible to implement). The government also pressured the NUS to launch an in
 vestigation into antisemitism\, using the discredited IHRA definition whic
 h conflates antisemitism with legitimate advocacy for Palestinian rights.\
 n\nThis February\, students across Britain are taking action to show that 
 our voices will not be silenced: we will stand in solidarity with Palestin
 ians and continue to campaign for our universities to divest fully from co
 mpanies that are complicit in Israel’s system of apartheid.\nHow can you
