3/3🧵: as #graduation season is in full swing, #UK #students from top #universities are staging #protests in support of #Palestine. On Thursday #Cambridge #university students waved #Palestinian flags and/or #keffiyeh, wearing traditional dress at their graduation ceremony and demanded their uni follow Kings' example and #divest from #Israel & #genocide.

2/3🧵: a couple of hours later, an even larger #walkout was staged by the under/post grad #students of political & social science of #Edinburgh #university, leaving the #graduation ceremony hall mostly empty. The #uni now has a stark choice: the money from its financial entanglement with #Israel and companies that actively enable #genocide in #Gaza, or the money and the brains of its students. ✊🏽🇵🇸

1/3🧵: This is how #protest movements reach a #tippingpoint 🥲. #Edinburgh #university, a #uni that was named in the #UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese's report about #Gaza #genocide enablers, saw its PhD #students walk out en masse from their own #graduation ceremony on Friday. Hear those who think they are the majority shout "shut up" until they come to realise the majority is loudly, clearly and beautifully supporting #Palestine and #divestment.
