In a show of solidarity with Palestinians, protests have erupted at universities across Europe, including Amsterdam, Groningen, Eindhoven, and Ljubljana. Students are demanding condemnation of Israeli military actions in Gaza and support for Palestinian rights. At University College Dublin, a pro-Palestine encampment has been set up, with students protesting Israeli aggression and advocating for divestment from Israeli universities.
What began as a peaceful walkout has escalated into a standoff with riot police, as students aim to amplify their voices against police violence and support for Israel. These demonstrations, sparked initially at Columbia University in New York, have now spread globally, indicating a growing opposition to Israeli policies and U.S. complicity. The hope is that these protests will influence political and diplomatic actions, leading to a resolution to the longstanding Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
