UCD students begin BDS encampment following success of Trinity protest

Students in University College Dublin have begun an encampment on its campus, demanding the college cut ties with Israeli institutions.

“We will not accept the inclusion of any neutral statement that condemns all forms of violence on both sides, which creates a false moral and material equivalence, underplaying the genocidal destruction Israel has unleashed on the Palestinian people,” a statement said. UCD students previously staged a protest at the college when former US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi received an honorary doctorate from the university.
