The Miss Universe pageant will be held in Apartheid Israel this year. Ireland’s contestant, Kat Walker, will be representing Ireland and we want to send a message to her and her sponsors that Ireland stands firmly with Palestine 🇵🇸
We were delighted to receive this message of solidarity from a Palestinian university student. Knowing that we are having an impact has really boosted the morale of the camp.
To all Trinity students and staff, come out and join us!🇵🇸
Today Israel is shooting protesters with rubber bullets and tear gassing them at Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem.

A ceasefire does not mean that apartheid is over, or that the military occupations and blockade on Gaza will end, or that the Zionist settler mobs will stop their pogroms on Palestinian people.
International pressure is working but we need to keep fighting!

Thanks to everyone that came out to support Palestine and occupy the DFA today!
The people of Ireland stand in unconditional solidarity with the people of Palestine and we won’t stop until our government sanctions apartheid Israel 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
If the Israeli embassy is getting upset, that’s usually a sign we’re doing something right.
We will continue to call for the boycotting and sanctioning of Israel in academia until it ends its violent apartheid project of hatred and division. 1/2
The Israeli embassy in Ireland has hit back at an open letter which calls for a boycott of Israeli academia until “Israel complies with international law and universal principles of human rights”
There’s a general strike in the West Bank and Gaza tomorrow, and Palestinians there have called on their comrades internationally to protest in support 🇵🇸❤️🇮🇪✊
Please always remember to wear a mask and stay as socially-distanced as possible while protesting 🇵🇸

Trinity College Dublin has investments in Elbit security systems and BAE, two companies that produce weapons and “security” technologies for the Israeli Offence Forces.
TCD students, is this where you want your fees going??
Your unions, your workplaces, your schools, your reps in gov, your city council, your grocery stores— demand boycotts, demand sanctions, demand divestments.
So… it’s unviable for a university in the heart of Dublin to keep an important cultural and educational centre open, but it’s perfectly viable to support apartheid and invest millions into the arms industry?
Why not divest from war & invest in the Science Gallery instead?
This week is Anti-Apartheid Week in Trinity College!
We are hosting loads of events with

There will be a mixture of cultural and educational events, some online and some in person. See you there!
Many thanks to Dr. Abdalmajid for meeting with us today!
We’re excited to work together in the future and to continue building ties between TCD and Palestine 🇮🇪❤️🇵🇸
A very productive meeting this morning with the Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Ireland, Dr. Wahba Abdalmajid, to discuss ways that we as students can support the Palestinian cause.🇵🇸

People in Gaza are being murdered in their own homes by Israeli airstrikes.
Schools, hospitals, libraries, universities and homes are being deliberately targeted and destroyed by the IOF.
Israel is a terror state!
Jennifer Carroll McNeill just repeated the islamophobic and untrue trope that Gazans use their children as human shields in the Dáil. People living with their families in their own homes ARE NOT USING THEIR KIDS AS HUMAN SHIELDS
