Cambridge University: Students protest against Gaza war outside campus

After the massive pro-Palestine protest in the US universities, it also spread in the UK, especially in the Oxford and Cambridge universities a few days ago.

Study in UK: Students at Cambridge and Oxford recently set up camps on their respective campuses to protest against Israel's war on Gaza.

The students demonstrated against the war at Cambridge University alongside setting up a protest camp outside King's College. The university maintained that it would not tolerate "any form of discrimination, intimidation, incitement, bullying or harassment".

As per BBC, a student who declined to give the PA Media news agency her name said that she is "part of a global collective which is a struggle for Palestinian liberation".

The protestors were demanding to disclose all of its research collaborations and financial ties with companies and institutions complicit in Israel's genocide and then to divest from these, she added.

"Pro-Palestine protesters have created encampments at Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Why have the student unions and campus administrators taken the side of race communists setting up shanty towns on behalf of a proscribed terror organisation?," reads a message on X Platform.

"“There's many of us here in Cambridge. Jews who believe that it is our duty, to speak out against the genocide that is being, carried out in our name, by the Israeli state”. A Jewish student at Cambridge University gives a tour of the Encampment for Gaza, said another message on X Platform.

As per AP News, about three dozen pro-Palestinian protesters crawled out of their tents Thursday morning at Cambridge University to have tea and coffee and they sat in a circle for the daily briefing.

Recently, Oxford University's joint statement said, “Refuse to accept our universities’ complicity in Israel’s war crimes against the Palestinian people. Oxbridge’s profits cannot continue to climb at the expense of Palestinian lives, and their reputations must no longer be built on the whitewashing of Israeli crimes. Today we join the university students, faculty and staff across the globe who refuse to continue business as usual while our institutions profit from genocide," as reported by Independent.
