STUDENTS ESTABLISH PRO-PALESTINIAN- camps outside university buildings.

The encampments are comparable to those observed at US universities in recent weeks, which resulted in over 2,500 arrests. They began outside King’s College in Cambridge and the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford.

According to Sky News journalist Shamaan Freeman-Powell, the “liberated zone encampment” at Oxford University is made up of tents constructed on sodden ground, with dozens of protestors slushing through the mud for teachings on Palestine and “well-being circles”.

“Come rain or shine, we will free Palestine,” they proclaim.

There is a food tent that serves hot meals, a medical station for emergencies, and arts and crafts programs.

Kendall Gardner, a Jewish student at the university, told Sky News that she was “really inspired by the events that have been happening across the world”.

“The US started a global chain of student activism for Palestine,” she stated.

“We have six requests for this demonstration; the first is to close any university-wide financial assets that favor Israel.

“We will stay here until the demands are met. I brought a large bag with everything a female might need.

According to the Oxford for Palestine organisation, the demands include the following: disclose university-wide assets, divest university-wide assets, overhaul investment policy, boycott institutional relationships, drop Barclays bank, and rebuild and reinvest.
