00:04 It's personally heartbreaking to have a nation carry out something similar
00:09 to a tragedy of that scale in my name, in my people's name.
00:12 The way that our university has been complicit in Israel's genocide of the Palestinians.
00:17 In particular, I personally have been really concerned about
00:20 the destruction of every university in Gaza.
00:23 One of our big divestment asks is to stop partnering with Barclays.
00:26 We are also asking for a boycott of Israeli academia that has been complicit within the genocide.
00:31 The reason I'm here today is because I really want to support the students
00:36 in this amazing stand that they're taking.
00:38 And I passionately believe that what they are asking for is really, really important.
00:43 So I've been going to Gaza now since 2016.
00:47 And so I've seen firsthand the effects of the siege has been having on the people of Gaza.
00:55 Never again, no more genocide means never again for all people, not just for Jewish folks.
