"#Jewish students at the Technical #University of #Berlin have barricaded themselves inside the general #student union building since Monday morning, in protest of what they describe as a rising wave of #antisemitism and hostility against Jewish and #Israeli students on #campus.

The group, calling itself “Occupation Against Antisemitism,” said the #protest aims to draw attention to the #antisemitic bias and tolerance toward extremist organizations that glorify terror attacks across the university, including among members of the student union itself.

In a public statement, the group said it is protesting last month’s #studentunion elections, claiming that several newly elected representatives are openly antisemitic and affiliated with authoritarian and radical groups that previously praised #Hamas and the #October7 attacks."

I am really thankful that my university has a very active #StudentUnion. One of the great perks it comes with are the union-owned restaurants that offer affordable lunches to students. I am used to similar canteens from German universities (called "Mensa"), but I got the impression that they are an exception in Sweden. More info in alt text.
