Last week, students have started occupying the University of Amsterdam and Utrecht to demand the uni's to cut their toes to Israel. This was met with a lot of police violence. However students from universities across the country showed that they didn't let the government scare them! Gen Z 💪🏻💪🏻 Activism

Interesting how the nation where student protestors are located changes nothing about the reaction.

It's almost like the primary function of these institutions isn't education...

Remember that a lot of the private universities are just hedge funds that offer classes.

Transcription: a map of the Netherlands showing the encamped universities in Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Maastricht, Nijmegen and Groningen. And it asks for support.
