After a year of ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, Israel has committed numerous massacres against civilians, along with the systematic destruction of buildings and Palestinian cultural sites.
It has destroyed universities, historical landmarks, and residential neighborhoods with the aim of erasing any trace of Palestinian presence in the area.

On Monday 10/7 about 100 students from the Claremont Colleges held a divestment rally that led to the occupation of Carnegie Hall at Pomona College on Monday.
Starting at 10:07, an homage to the anniversary date, students walked out of classes and announced:
"Hello, today, Oct. 7th marks one year since israel’s intensified genocide in Gaza. While we attend class, israel has destroyed all universities in Gaza and is invading Lebanon. I am walking-out of class to rally with the 60+ student orgs demanding Pomona divest from weapons manufacturers, because there can be no business as usual during genocide. Join me and walk-out---there’s safety in numbers."
Once inside, demonstrators used signs to obscure windows and barricaded/zip-tied exits. The protestors were all masked/bloc-ed up and escaped without arrest, several exiting through open windows on the second floor. (No face, no case!)

🟡 NOW: Students tried to barricade themselves in the Free University of Berlin, threatening to destroy the server room if police entered the building. They demanded an immediate end to the deep-seated relationship between the university and the State of Israel, among other things.
However, several university staff remained in the building alongside the Palestine solidarity activists. As the police arrived quickly, ready to crack down, they escaped the building. None of the occupiers remain in the building, and police have already made several arrests.
The attempted occupation follows last summer’s takeover at Humboldt University Berlin, where protesters tried to negotiate their demands with university authorities.
A statement released by the occupiers declares, “The time for begging for justice from the University is over.”
