The @uniofstandrews has disgracefully dismissed its elected Rector, Stella Maris, after she called for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the genocide and apartheid Israel continues to carry out. Take action today and sign the petition: https://t.co/G5ZN2mqWAc

From the river to the sea, Palestinian prisoners will be free!

Join the global mobilization to free all Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails and torture centers and to stop Israel's ongoing #GazaGenocide against 2.3 million Palestinians.

Same lengthy sentences for this public nuisance as the climate protestors got, yes? https://t.co/qmSUVBShdM

🦺 Jane, 58, also took action at Heathrow Airport today. She said:

💬 "We are in the greatest crisis humanity has ever faced and governments are not doing what is needed to protect us. Ordinary people have to stand up and make their governments do the right thing, because without pressure from us, they won’t. I feel so angry and betrayed that politicians have let this happen when they’ve known about climate breakdown for over 50 years."

I just wrote to my new MP, asking them to pledge their support to #StopRosebank

For a safe climate and affordable energy, we need to stop expanding oil & gas production NOW.

Please write to your MP too. https://t.co/XUTKw4RZlw

NO GRADUATING FROM GENOCIDE PART XI

What better way to end graduations than with the school of Social & Political Sciences? Who better than these students know that the university's pretense of political neutrality is built on colonial premises and that senior management's silence on genocide makes them actively complicit?
Management know exactly what they are doing. They have chosen their political side. The students have chosen their. And we will not back down until divestment. 🇵🇸

[Edinburgh Justice for Palestine @eu_jps]

NO GRADUATING FROM GENOCIDE PART X ⚖️

In addition to many law students protesting the university's complicity in genocide under the cheers of McEwan hall, the Law School graduation saw a disruption from students demanding divestment.

[Thomas Willett @ThomasWillett9]

So @HadleyFreeman, what does it mean for trans people to “lose”?
That they lose their rights?
That they lose their healthcare?
That they lose the ability to have dignified public lives?
That people can baselessly call them groomers, paedophiles and abusers with impunity?

[Edinburgh Justice for Palestine @eu_jps]

NO GRADUATING FROM GENOCIDE
PART IX
It is no surprise that students from the school of Language, Literature and Cultures overwhelmingly showed support for Palestine when graduating last week and opposed their university's complicity in genocide.

The irony of being taught to open your mind to the richness of other cultures by an institution that actively perpetuates colonialism and contributes to murdering thousands abroad, is not lost on these brave students.
We will say it in every language we can: Free Palestine & UoE DIVEST NOW!

[Carole Jones @EmbraJones]

Stop shielding genocidal apartheid Israel, @FIFACom!

Israel has killed 39,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including 100s of footballers, and damaged or destroyed all sports facilities.

There's the only 1 way to vote: #BanIsrael

Millions of children across the UK are in poverty, going to bed cold & waking up hungry. But scrapping the cruel 2 child benefit cap could help change that. Sign the petition to call on @Keir_Starmer to lift this cap & help make the UK a kinder place: https://t.co/fNu7n4IxYv
