‼️🇵🇸🇮🇪💚 “That’s it, folks. A win.” The Trinity College Dublin has divested from Israel after successful student encampments in support of Gaza
[Plain text: “That’s it, folks. A win.” The Trinity College Dublin has divested from Israel after successful stident encampments in support of Gaza]
🔹 Fragments of the statement by the Trinity College Dublin:
▫️ On divestment:
Trinity has initiated a process to divest from investments in companies that have activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and appear on the UN Blacklist in this regard. This process is expected to be completed by June. In April, the National Treasury Management Agency confirmed to government that it had taken a similar approach regarding the Irish Strategic Investment Fund.
▫️ On Gaza:
We fully understand the driving force behind the encampment on our campus and we are in solidarity with the students in our horror at what is happening in Gaza. We abhor and condemn all violence and war, including the atrocities of October 7th and the continuing ferocious and disproportionate onslaught in Gaza. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the dehumanisation of its people is obscene. We support the International Court of Justice’s finding that ‘Israel must take all measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide in relation to members of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip. A real and lasting solution that respects the human rights of everyone needs to be found.
▫️ On support for Palestinian scholars:
Since January 2024 we have been working with local and international stakeholders including We Are Not Numbers (WANN), a youth-led, Palestinian non-profit project in the Gaza Strip to facilitate access to Trinity for students from Gaza seeking to continue their education. To date, we have identified places for eight scholars - six postgraduate and two undergraduates.

This #WorldKeffiyehDay I finally got to visit the last active #GazaSolidarityEncampment in the greater Boston area at my alma mater, Harvard. All the rest have been violently attacked by their administrators who have weaponized the police. Interim President Garber was recently spotted on campus with the ADL’s president Jonathan Greenblatt, and the ADL is basically an anti-Palestinian hate group at this point, so who knows how long until he uses police violence against these bright, brave young people, too.
Visiting the Refaat Alareer Memorial Library felt, quite honestly, like visiting Notre Dame Cathedral or a great museum - except this holy place is a humble monument built with love and reverence in memory of a man of exceptional warmth and grace is far more moving.
The peaceful camp demonstrated a focus on community care, honoring the intersectional nature of our fight for liberation. These students are showing us what is possible when we act out of radical solidarity. They were even making screen-printed shirts and tote bags, one of which I am now a proud owner of!
This is the first time since I learned about Harvard’s investments in Israel that I’ve been a proud alum.

i feel the same way about skz and potentially unstanning. like they are full adult men they know what’s happening and yet remain silent, when imo they have enough power and influence to do otherwise. really disappointing and i was kinda comforted by seeing someone else have the same thoughts ❤️ take care
yess thats exactly how i see it and everyone telling me that it’s not that easy for skz to speak up.
But they don’t think about how difficult it is for Palestinians to have to sit there starving and terrified every day since oct 7 (220 days as of may 14 2024) and then also having to show strangers how human they are by posting about the lives, hopes, and dreams they lost because of the occupation in hopes that these strangers will send them money and aid so they can flee to safety.
With felix donating to a foundation that directly send money to kids in gaza and then working with an idf member on this lmb and just all of skz in general talking about how important stays ~all around the world~ are to them but basically turning a blind eye to the stays and nonstays lost due to this genocide is just extremely off putting imo.
I love skz down but as a black woman in the us that has to face and interact with people who think i have no right to live, exist or be happy i wont tolerate my ult giving money and a platform to men who feel that same way about another group of people.
lots of love and happy vibes to you anon any and all feelings you have about everything is extremely valid no matter who says otherwise <3 take good care of yourself and happy may ❤︎ ིྀ

I've just read a comment that said US officials would ban abortions because they are against the killing of hypothetical babies before they stop funding the IDF to kill real, breathing babies.

PLEASE SPREAD, STAYS. There's currently a boycott going on against the new SKZ single where two zionists are credited. WE CANNOT LET THEM INTO OUR SPACE BUT SADLY PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT! Please share on ALL platforms.
We ask JYPE to stop collaborating and/or associating their artists with Zionists.
We urge JYPE to conduct thorough research when selecting collaborators for their artist in the future.

At Smith College Graduation, students gave the president cards with the Palestinian flag on the front and the name of a person who died during the genocide. They did this instead of shaking her hand. Many students also painted their caps, wore flags, or things as simple as wearing watermelon pins and earrings in support. During Ivy day, many of the alumni held up signs saying such things as “Divest in the genocide” and “No school pride until they divest in the genocide.”
FREE PALESTINE 🍉🇵🇸

Palestine will be free. Palestinian children will be safe, will go to school, will crawl into their grandparents' laps, will grow old. Palestine will be free.
Learning every language that I can so that I can whisper this axiom, this prayer, in each and every one.
Palestine will be free. Palestinians will be happy.

“Safe zone” was always a lie. I hope this is clear to everyone. “Evacuate to the safe zone” always meant “consolidate for slaughter” and that is exactly what is happening now

I feel like the point of that commenter was missed, do you actually think that they knew, for Charlie maybe yes? but I personally didn't know that the other guy was an idf. your feelings are valid but the amount of times they said that they get punished for speaking up or doing thing on their own accord. Contracts are complicated, i hope div1/jype will give them more freedom. It's heartbreaking this is happening in the world right now. It shouldn't even be happening. Right now as a Stay and a person, donating and spreading information is what matters to me right now. I won't be unstanning but will boycott the song. I believe that the kids have their subtle ways to show their support for Palestine. I believe that time will tell. I hope it comes very soon. Free Palestine !! Free Congo !!

I didnt miss the commenter’s point and im not asking or telling anyone to unstan or boycott skz but being a true advocate for something means doing the complicated and difficult things especially when your in a position to influence change. skz in comparison to the people im palestine, the students protesting and the different groups of marginalized people protesting and speaking out about the genocide happened have nothing to lose.
They’re a major group the writes and produces their own music and if their reputation precedes them then breaking their contractual censorship wont be as big of a problem as people are making it seem.
Chuu for example is from a smaller company but faced being blacklisted simply for wanting fair treatment and to get paid but her reputation and positive interactions with all of the people she’s worked with helped save her career.
The worst thing that can happen to skz for speaking up is they get dropped by jype and then what??? they write and produce all of their music they can keep doing that independently or with a new company.
The worst thing that can happen to skz if they continue to stay silent is happening right now. Giving a platform to two terrible people; a zionist rape apologist and a zionist IDF member and giving them access to their fandom which is allowing a crazy increase of hate and threats to people boycotting and standing up for Palestinians.
Threatening violence to other stays for talking about not watching skz if and when they perform lmb. threatening fights and assaults at large major music festivals and purposefully streaming that song raising it on the charts which just causes more people to listen and give more money to two zionists again one is a RAPE APOLOGIST and the other is an IDF MEMBER.
Doing the hard things, the difficult things can be scary but whats scary is letting this roll off our backs by saying that contracts are complicated and difficult and they need permission.
At the end of the say all of skz are adults and have control of their hands, mouths and access to the internet. It’s 2024 our morals need to be stronger than a signature on paper especially when lives are being lost.
Imagine if your neighbors, your community was all gone in a matter of 220 days (from oct 7 to now(may 14)) due to being bombed, starved, dehydrated, left out to the elements, executed and forced into concentration camps and someone you looked up to not only remains silent about it but gives people involved and in support of this horrible senseless inhumane crime because “contracts are complicated”
Begging people to see you as human and to help you live another day in a language that isnt yours because you simply want the freedom to exist without the sound of drones and bombs 24/7.
Thats the reality for thousands of people in Palestine right now that’s what they have to do to try and get freedom but all skz has to do is pick up their phones and start typing.
It’s extremely simple when you think about it that way.
Thank you anon for donating and spreading information about gaza and boycotting i appreciate it and i know the people in gaza appreciate it even more. Lots of love to you <3 Take good care of yourself and have an amazing may ‎❤︎ ིྀ

"It's not that deep, let people drink coffee" It's not that deep? more than 30k people have been killed over the course of six months. the next generation of Palestinians is going to have birth defects because on average, 10 kids a day become amputees. premature births have increased by 20-30 percent. 13 libraries containing old and important texts have been burnt down. people are actively trying to erase a whole culture and drive them away from their homes. a university that is more than 1000 years old has been reduced to a pile of rubble. more children have been killed daily than in the holocaust. Palestinians, even if they don't currently live in Palestine, are going to have trauma over this. this is the most well-recorded genocide ever witnessed and yet it is still going on.
all this but you can't stop buying far-too-expensive and shitty coffee from a multimillion-dollar company that is funding the group responsible for this genocide? grow up and start to realise that you, even as one person, have the power to affect a company because when you start, you will somehow influence the people around you. and there are way better and cheaper places to buy coffee from.
so, yes. it is that deep.
