What happens when the university you work for allows genociders to work alongside you and to teach students? Is the university also complicit when they allowed this Engineering professor to make several trips, to murder innocent women, children, men in Palestine, and to return to teach in Toronto?

The Palestine exception AND the ongoing coloniality of British academia are in full display yet again
Cambridge University has expelled a Palestinian student from her accommodations after an Israeli soldier who committed genocide in Gaza complained to them he didn't feel safe.
It's difficult to express how low, how unjust and racist this is. Demand accountability now: newscord.org/action/pales...

🐦🔎 Complicit Israeli universities in their own words:
On Oct. 30, 2023, HUJI put out a video on their youtube page entitled "Research During War". In this video, we notably get a sense of how not only Israeli, but also international students play a role in the country's genocidal machinery.

At UNB, professors and students were surveilled for Palestine solidarity because, per campus security, the university is the President’s “house.”
“If I tell my kids my kids you can’t do this, I don’t need to write it down… He’s the President and he can set the rules.”
