00:00So my fellow students of Lydan University are occupying this building today to the
00:27demand that Lydan University cuts all of its institutional ties with Israeli universities,
00:35including and especially the EU Horizon program ties that continuously every year send billions
00:43of dollars to Israel in the form of institutional ties. And the reason why is because Israeli
00:51universities are directly complicit in the genocide and occupation of Palestine. They are not neutral
00:59institutions. They collaborate with military equipment, development of military equipment,
01:05development of propaganda. Some of them are built on internationally recognized illegal settlements
01:12and they validate the state of Israel and its attack on Palestinian territories and lives.
01:21We do understand that there is a ceasefire in Gaza now. However, there has been more than 400 violations
01:30of the ceasefire by Israel since it started.
01:47Unlike what the news report, unlike what Western media likes to think and what our Western governments
01:53might like to spread, that there is a ceasefire happening in Gaza, we continue to demand our
01:58institutions to take action. We demand accountability from them. There is no ceasefire in Gaza. People
02:04have been, keep on being killed, keep on being bombed. We have now the natural catastrophes. The floods
02:11are horrible. There is so much humanitarian crisis happening. And our universities, our governments,
02:17our jobs, all of them are still complicit in this genocide. Today, we demand from Lydan University,
02:23as they, in the most hypocritical stand, are doing an action, are doing a lecture in honor and in the legacy of
02:31Rudolf Kleveringa, a anti-fascist professor who used to stand up for his Jewish colleagues during the Nazi occupation.
02:39We demand the same behavior today. We demand accountability. We demand a full academic boycott.
02:45We demand a full divestment from Israeli institutions. We don't demand both-sided reports and statements.
02:52We do not want to continue waiting for the university to make the basic necessary steps in order to
02:59actually stop their complicity in this genocide. And we call on to Lydan University today to honor the
03:07legacy of Kleveringa, and to honor their students' demands, and to do a full academic boycott.
03:21to honor their students' demands, and to honor their students' demands, and to honor their students' demands.
03:31We demand a full divestment of new people to make the basic necessary steps in order to make the basic necessary steps of the
03:41Islam from my dear, Islam from my dear.

03:45You are not alone.
03:48You are not alone.
03:50You are not alone.
