End Israeli Apartheid!
00:07
Student strike for Palestine!
00:10
Victory to the Palestinians!
00:12
It's happening on campus right now.
00:14
We're going to march around.
00:16
Glasgow U needs shame on you!
00:18
We have blood on your hands too!

Glasgow U needs shame on you!

00:24
Hi, my name's Shawnee. I'm a student here at the University of Glasgow.
00:27
I'm here today because we've called a student strike
00:31
to show solidarity with the people of Palestine
00:34
and to make a statement against the University's
00:37
investment in arms and fossil fuels
00:40
and its complacency in the war that's currently going on just now.
00:44
While we're assembling outside the main gates,
00:47
I'm going to go right around the University.
00:49
We're going to make our voices heard.
00:51
We're going to make sure that everyone knows what we're thinking.
00:54
The University is complicit
00:57
and it's not making a clear statement either way,
01:00
so it's important that as a student you make your voice heard
01:04
and you stand up for the people of Palestine.
01:08
Glasgow U needs shame on you!
01:10
We have blood on your hands too!
01:12
I think it's happening in Edinburgh and London
01:17
and across different places in the UK as well.
01:20
This has actually been a weekly occurrence now
01:25
and we're going to keep going until something changes.
01:28
We've had a lot of support from students.
01:30
Last week we had about 300 join us, which was great to see.
01:34
Hopefully we'll have a big crowd today as well.
01:37
I think like any reasonable human being,
01:40
when you see the death of 3,500 civilians
01:44
that's ongoing and is being defended by the mainstream media,
01:49
you feel like you have to do something about it,
01:52
or at least say something about it.
01:54
We're here to demand an end to the siege of Gaza
01:58
and a ceasefire now because 300 Palestinians
02:02
are dying every day under bombardment.
02:05
The Israelis have dropped more bombs on Palestine
02:09
than the US did during the first year of their invasion of Afghanistan.
02:14
Think about that for a minute.
02:16
More bombs in three weeks than the US could drop in a year
02:20
in a space that is 10km wide.
02:24
Think about that.
02:25
One of the most densely populated places on earth
02:29
where half the population are children.
02:32
So we are out today to challenge British complicity.
02:36
Yesterday marked the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration
02:39
when the British Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary in 1917,
02:43
gave part launch to the Settler Colonial Project.
02:46
The UK is Israel's fourth largest arms supplier.
02:51
Elbit Systems has 10 sites across the UK
02:54
and supplies 85% of Israel's land military equipment.
03:00
Brands like Puma, McDonald's, Domino's,
03:03
all complicit in Israeli apartheid.
03:06
And that is why we are here today
03:08
and that is why we have to be out on Saturday
03:13
in our hundreds of thousands rejecting the response
03:16
of the British ruling class to this crisis.
03:20
Suella Braverman calls our marches hate marches.
03:23
These aren't hate marches.
03:25
These are solidarity marches.
