@aral Have a good talk! I hope you brought some of these to the #Google University of Groningen?

Final update for today:

According to my information 4 out of 5 student encampments are allowed to stay the night! Only Amsterdam was evicted, more about that later. Preview: outside agitators, not Antifa, escalated things. Probably same folks as earlier (nazi hooligans).

Good news from Encampment Groningen:

'We are no long under the threat of eviction.

So long as we remain peaceful and do not block traffic the police are not to engage in mass arrests.

We encourage people to come bring tents, sleeping bags, and lights

Things to Bring:

Tents
Sleeping bags
Umbrellas
Power banks
Battery operated Lamps
Water
Snacks
Books to read
Art supplies'

From Encampment Groningen (3/3):

'... While doing everything to apply their rules deferentially to Palestine related events, the university still considered our negotiations to be fruitful and positive, not even realizing how their actions created an atmosphere of censorship both among students and staff.

That is why we, the students and staff of the university of Groningen, have reached a point beyond negotiations. Our demands are clear and do not need further explication - one cannot divest 50% or disclose 50%. What we need is the university's commitment to actually break out of their complicity in the colonization of Palestine and the annihilation of Gaza that is unfolding right in front of our eyes.

Our demands are clear.

Disclose!
Boycott!
Divest!

Come by, join us, and support!

Free Palestine!'

From Encampment Groningen (2/3):

'... The university offered us empty promises and inside the meeting room and humiliating sympathy to the Palestinian in there, promising support and understanding to us only to be silenced in classrooms when speaking up about injustice and kicked out of courses for that. Even in their most recent statement, they allegedly disclosed all Israeli ties even though it was us who provided them with a way more complete picture already back in February. At the same time, they repeatedly insinuate that the Palestine movements on campus make Jewish students and staff unsafe, ignoring our Jewish antizionist comrades’ fight for justice.

In short, the university kept promising things behind closed doors while doing the exact opposite outwardly - an investigation into Israeli ties became an investigation into Israeli and Palestinian ties, the promise to host Israeli Apartheid Week as has been done for years at the university turned into a host of cancellations. ...'

From Encampment Groningen (1/3):

'Why we don't want negotiations

This encampment in solidarity has three demands- boycott, divest, disclose. Over the course of the day, the university has repeatedly offered to negotiate with us, and every time, we have declined their offer. We think that some of you might wonder why we are protesting at the RUG but don't want negotiations with the RUG.

We entered them being somewhat hopeful that the university would listen to said demands after the first negotiation, but we were quickly let down by their performative and downright neoliberal statements in response to us trying to find justice for the genocide in Palestine. Only to be further met with intense double standards for Palestinian students in relation to Ukraine, as well as the tactics that have been employed throughout the Ukraine war and the Israeli war on Palestine intensely differ, where absolutely nothing has been achieved within the university to protect lives of Arabs, but otherwise, where we've faced multiple counts of censorship before the second negotiation and another censorship of an event a week after that. ...'
