SUMMARY:Student Protest For Palestine #EndApartheid #SupportBDS
DESCRIPTION:\n\nASSEMBLE MALET STREET // 9TH JULY // 4PM\n--\nPart of a Stu
 dent Day of Action on the 16th anniversary of the initial call for BDS! Ma
 rch for an end to all complicity. #EndApartheid #SupportBDS\n--\nIn May 20
 21 Israel launched another aerial bombardment of besieged Gaza\, targeting
  the majority refugee population in the enclave. The 11 days of relentless
  bombardment killed at least 248 Palestinians\, and injured thousands.\n\n
 While the bombs may have temporarily stopped falling\, Israel’s regime o
 f systematic discrimination against the Palestinian people\, amounting to 
 the crime of apartheid under international law\, continues.\n\nIsraeli apa
 rtheid can only be maintained because of the complicity of our government 
 and our institutions. This includes UK universities. UK Universities colle
 ctively invest over £400m in companies complicit in Israeli violations of
  international law.\nAlong with investments\, UK universities maintain par
 tnerships\, programmes\, and ties with complicit Israeli institutions. For
  example\, a plethora of UK universities have ties to the Technion in Haif
 a\, which functions as the R&amp\;D wing of the IDF\, developing military 
 technology to be deployed to oppress Palestinians.\n\nOn July 9th 2005\, P
 alestinian civil society came together to issue a call for boycott\, dives
 tment and sanctions against Israel\, until it complied with the basic prin
 ciples of international law. The call demanded that states\, institutions\
 , and civil society end their role in oppression. The call had a simple\, 
 morally consistent message – do not be complicit in continued violations
  of our rights.\n\nAs students and staff at UK universities we demand our 
 institutions end their complicity in violations of Palestinian rights by:\
 n- Divesting from all companies complicit in Israeli violations of interna
 tional law\n- Severing all links with complicit Israeli institutions\n- Si
 gning the apartheid-free pledge\nGather on Malet Street to march for dives
 tment and justice for the Palestinian people!\n--\nJoin this protest in Lo
 ndon or join the day of action by flooding social media with students call
 ing for divestment.\nCreate your own sign and post with the hashtags\, or 
 gather for a protest on your campus!\n\n#DivestForPalestine #ApartheidOff
