UQ students standing in solidarity with Palestine

UQ students standing in solidarity with Palestine

UQ has a very strong relationship with US weapons manufacturer Boeing. Students are protesting this relationship, as well as showing general support for Palestinians, by staging a camp-in on campus.

Some photos I took of the camp as I walked past them this morning.

One opening at Curtin Uni (WA) today as well. Curious to see how universities handle it, the demands seem pretty reasonable to me.

@ziltoid101 went for another walk past it this evening at UQ. It's still there. One of the marquees was donated by the federal MP of the area (Greens party).

There's also a pro-Israel camp over the far side of the Great Court. I'd estimate it's about half the size.

@ziltoid101 walked past again. The Palestine camp seems to have grown significantly. The pro-Genocide camp at the other end looked the same size.
