A couple of days ago, I came across someone on LinkedIn who had created a list of UK universities offering scholarships to Palestinian students. If anyone knows who this was or has a link to the list, please let me know. There are a few people I know it could be of use to ❤️

Sickening. I won’t lie, I have been deeply concerned about the wellbeing of the non-white participates of the flotilla in particular, but I thought she, as both a white and recognisable figure, wouldn’t be subjected to Israeli brutality. I’m holding hope for the safety of all of the activists.
““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+
