UBC Social Justice Centre@SJC_UBC·14 May

Through extensive research undertaken with UBC Graduate Students for Palestine, we found that UBC’s 2023 endowment investments in Israeli apartheid, settler-colonial occupation, and genocide of Palestinians totalled over $113.8 million across 88 firms 🧵 drive.google.com/file/d/1OjnheO…

Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East@CJPME·10 Tem

We strongly condemn the dismantling of the McGill encampment. As Israel’s army is currently ethnically cleansing Gaza City with murderous ‘evacuation’ orders, Montreal police are cracking down on civil liberties at home. All this to protect the admin’s investments in genocide.

Yesterday, we learned that Israeli soldiers are using Caterpillar bulldozers in Gaza to bury the corpses of Palestinians under the rubble and hide them from aid convoys. Today, McGill and Montreal police are using the same equipment to clear protestors from campus. Sickening.

Avi Lewis@avilewis·5 Tem

Brilliant piece highlighting gaping double standard by @UBC admin and Senate on academic boycotts. Russia, over Ukraine? Unanimous! Israel, over Gaza? Beyond the pale 😲😲😲 Boycotting complicit institutions is legitimate in the face of genocide. ubyssey.ca/opinion/opinio…

On these days, the academic year ends in Gaza. While all children around the world enjoy education in highly-equipped and amazing schools, children in Gaza are sheltering in schools- where they used to learn. Now, they've lost one full academic year in their life. PAINFUL!

The anti-genocide encampment at UBC takes up a big field next to main bus loop. There’s a library, supply & food area. Organizers told me they’ve been hosting events daily since camp was established April 29 to raise awareness of UBC & 🇨🇦 complicity in Israel’s horrors in Gaza

On exurban fringe of Kelowna students at UBC Okanagan have a solidarity encampment with 20 tents. Organizers told me they’d been there over a month, received significant support from community & didn’t plan to leave until university ended its complicity with 🇮🇱 genocide in Gaza

A Man in the Sun 🌞@AManInTheSun·16 Haz

People like to pretend that they can neatly distinguish between the government, cultural institutions, academic institutions, etc. as if they don't all contribute to the same goal of maintaining and legitimizing the settler colony.

This is terrifying, violent behavior. Campuses are not police states. @UCLA stop militarizing our workplace, cease and desist from using police violence against students and employees.

UBC also maintains exchange partnerships with HUJ and Technion.

UofT Occupy for Palestine@occupyuoft

We talk about universities and institutions that UofT should cut ties with. It seems weird to target academic institutions when we are trying to stop a genocide. Let’s look at two examples to understand. 2 Universities complicit in Genocide of Palestinians are HUJI and Technion

Technion has a military research institute that develops armed bulldozers used in demolishing Palestinian villages and killed Rachel Corrie. They also provide financial grants to “soldier students” who are on reserve for the IOF

Hebrew University of Jerusalem or HUJI not only operates in illegally occupied East Jerusalem and in Palestinian villages that were ethnically cleansed, but is also in the process of opening an IOF military base on campus

NEW: Canada exported $30,641,495.83 in military goods and technology to Israel in 2023, more than any other year on record. There is every reason to believe that many of these weapons were used in Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza. We need a two-way arms embargo now.
