📢 TALK WITH PETRA — MONDAY 16:00 @ REFAATALAREER (ufo building)

After days of pressure, #UGent rector Petra De Sutter is finally coming to our open spokescouncil inside the occupied Refaat Alareer - ufo- building.

Last week, the #university shut the door on public dialogue, unilaterally ended negotiations, and responded to student protest with an eviction order. They wanted closed-door talks with a small delegation. We refused.

An #academic #boycott of #Israeli institutions is not an internal issue to be managed behind closed doors. It is a topic that concerns the entire university community, and society at large.

Two years after UGent promised to cut 13 institutional ties, only ONE has actually been terminated.
On Monday, we demand public #accountability:
no more delays,
no more empty promises,
no more complicity.

✊ Join us Monday at 16:00 in Refaat.
Show that students, staff, and supporters stand together.

OUR DEMAND REMAINS UNCHANGED:
CUT ALL TIES WITH INSTITUTIONS of the zionist entity

The third violence we already alluded to: It’s the colonialist, western view to declare whatever the west thought was “worth” digitizing or whatever submits to those logic “all the world’s knowledge”. This is not just lack of representation but a forceful othering of large parts of the population of this planet. If you are not useful to western, capitalist readings of the world then you, your history, your experiences are not part of “all the world’s knowledge”. You are being declared a lesser human being.
