About Us
- CAMBRIDGE GAZA SOLIDARITY CAMPAIGN
- Beginning with a six day occupation of the Law Faculty in Cambridge to demand action from the university on six main demands, including support for education worldwide and disinvestment from the arms trade, Cambridge Gaza Solidarity is commited to bringing aid and support to Gaza, in solidarity with the people of Gaza, Israeli peace movements and all students taking action in this country. Stay posted for new developments in the campaign, ways to get involved and help out, meeting times and dates for fundraising, and details of events which we will be conducting in the immediate future. To learn more see our list of current goals in the link below.
I can think of several academics at Oxbridge who don't. Do their views carry equal weight?
ReplyDeleteName some.
ReplyDeleteAnd then get them to add their names to your previous remarks and then, yes, they will carry equal weight.
ReplyDeleteNot prepared to. Several of them have received verbal abuse for their views, and at least one of them outright antisemitic threats.
ReplyDeleteAs it stands, all you can prove is that single figures of academics have supported this action. Pretty pathetic.
Are you an academic? Are you risking anything?
It is a disgrace that a Director of Studies is writing in support of a disruptive and illegal trespass.
ReplyDeleteAt least we can rest assured that letter writing is a far as she will go to support you.
"Not prepared to."
ReplyDeleteMore utter nonsense from Alec, who, as he freely admits, is nowhere near Cambridge, yet claims to have privileged info about the mail inbox of several Cambridge academics. If Cambridge academics against the occupation were getting hate mail - firstly, how does Alec know? - secondly, how would anyone know who to send it to, given that they haven't yet made themselves public? - thirdly, I can assure you that if, as Alec claims, "at least one of them outright antisemitic threats" this would have been seized upon by Zionist media sources with abandon. It hasn't been.
"Are you risking anything?"
Is personal risk a precondition of showing solidarity in your strangely warped little mind-world?
