The graduating students of Manchester are showing our solidarity with these students and exposing our University’s complicity in the genocide.
You can pick up keffiyehs, scarfs, flags and banners from our stall on Oxford Road throughout the graduation period.
Dozens of students at the University of Manchester used their graduation today to show solidarity with Gaza and protest the University’s complicity in the ongoing genocide 🇵🇸🇵🇸
Never again will we turn our backs when the world's cowardice has left Gaza, home to over a million children, completely destroyed. Contact everyone throughout the week and galvanise our defiance here from the courage of the Palestinians.
Our governments, media, complicit companies and institutions have cheapened Palestinian blood for decades. To do so even more during Israel's 8 months of relentless, televised genocide means we must step it up.
We must get everyone out for Palestine. We must make Palestinians know this Saturday, every week and every day, just how precious their blood, their lives and their struggle is.
No matter what they throw at us here, we will know that we won't be in tents in searing heat with no aid arriving, our homes gone, our schools gone, our hospitals, universities, mosques and churches gone.
It won't be us taking care of our traumatised children, grieving other family members who have been killed next to us, buried beneath the collapsed floors of our home, or imprisoned in an unknown Israeli torture chamber.
It won't be us missing our children, like Hind Rajab who had to give her last words desperately pleading for help as Israeli tanks closed in on her. Like seven-year-old Sidra Hassouna left hanging from a wall. Like 18-month-old Ahmad Al-Najar held aloft by his father to a camera. Or in the occupied West Bank like ten-year-old Amr Najjar shot dead as his father drove him and his seven-year-old brother Ahmed to get groceries in his minivan.
Put yourself in their shoes. Ask yourself: if they are carrying on, tortured, traumatised, hungry and in such agonising pain then how can we possibly say we're not going to turn out for them?
We will get more out to support them! We will try harder to break the chains in our country that are facilitating Israel's genocide in Gaza, the crime of all crimes!
At least 37000 killed, all of whom had lives and names and a future like our most precious do! This Saturday starting at St Peter's Square at 12pm we will make amends for the world ignoring the Palestinian plight. Join us to salute Palestinian courage and steadfastness against unbelievable odds. Channel Gaza's legacy and tell everyone you know. Be inspired by so many acts of heroism from Palestinians facing this abominable genocide, to drive us and everyone around us on, until Palestine is free @_YFFP_@GMF_Palestine
Weapons made for Israel's bombing & genocide in Gaza now disrupted with successful blockade of 5 main gates of BAE Systems Salmesbury Aerodrome Arms Factory near Blackburn BB2 7LF.

They demanded organizers stop filming and live streaming and plunged the room into darkness by switching off the lights and power. red. media's team at the scene reports that the electricity has now been turned back on.

Imagine promoting this and how it focuses on human rights abuses after cancelling the Voices of Resilience event
It’s giving oppression and complicity - with chest
