Israel's violence didn't end in May\, when it intensified its ethnic cleansing campaign aga inst Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem\, and bombarded already beseiged G aza.\n\n \;\nSince then\, Israel has conducted mass arrest raids acros s historic Palestine\, including on university campuses.. At Birzeit Unive rsity\, hundreds of student activists have been arrested by Israeli forces .\n\n \;\nPalestinians have always pushed back against this repression \, and university students have always been at the heart of the Palestinia n anti-apartheid struggle. But they need our solidarity now.\n\n \;\nI srael can only maintain its repressive rule because of the complicity of o ur government and our institutions.\nOur research has found that UK univer sities invest over £400million in companies complicit in Israel’s grave breaches of human rights. This includes companies supplying weapons and m ilitary technology to Israel\, used to oppress Palestinians.\n\n \;\nO n November 29th students on campuses across the UK will take action. We’ ll be standing with Palestinians under attack\, including the 6 recently c riminalised civil society organisations and Palestinian university student s who continue to demand their right to education\, despite constant threa ts against them.\n\n \;\nWe'll be demanding our universities respond\, by ending their complicity in Israeli apartheid - NOW.\n\n \;\nWill y ou join them and take action on your campus?\n\n \;\nIdeas to join the day of action!\n \;\n1.
