Another excellent article from Nesrine Malik who writes:

".protest becomes necessary precisely because authorities have not been responsive. And it is defined by asymmetry of power and access to political tools. Politicians have executive power, and protesters have one thing: their voices"

People are protesting against the hypocrisy of Netanyahu and wants him to resign.

Protesters took to the streets of several cities across Israel on Saturday, demanding the release of all hostages held in Gaza ahead of Israel’s Memorial Day.

That feeling when you open the silly little collaborative drawing app you made and you find that some folks made this.

“the motion is significant in two ways. One, because it was passed with overwhelming support, an upward of 98% of those in attendance supported it. The other significance is that this is the first BDS motion, which explicitly calls for sanctions, divestment, and boycotting of Israeli apartheid of any university in the entire country.”

I talked to a few students in the encampment. They are the most peaceful, kind and pure people standing firmly & stubbornly for justice. They've been harassed by parents who are on campus for their kids' graduation. I've overheard a couple of graduating seniors explaining to their angry parents about their fellow students' constitutional right to protest. I felt proud as a college professor. These students are our treasure. I almost cried.

The American Statesman did a better job of describing the circumstances which led to Dr. Rich Heyman's arrest, including giving his side of the story thru his lawyer. Heyman claims he was shoved by a cop and grabbed the police bicycle to steady himself. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/crime/2024/05/10/professor-richard-heyman-ut-austin-pro-palestine-protest-arrested-fired-interfering-police/73639778007/

In 1999, hundreds of students set up tents on the University of Calgary campus to protest tuition hikes.

I've found limited info about it online.

Does anyone remember how long it lasted and how it ended?

Poverty Lane' tents rise, U o C tuitions may also Calgary Herald: Friday, March 26, 1999 More than 200 students occupying a tent "shanty town" at the University of Calgary will hit the sidewalks this morning to protest against an anticipated tuition hike. The university administration, in a last-minute move, relocated today's board of governors meeting off campus to nearby McMahon Stadium. The board will make the final decision on tuition fees. In a meeting Thursday, the planning and finance committee recommended a maximum increase this fall, for academic year 1999-2000. It would be the 10th year in a row of tuition hikes. Tent town protesters, who'll march to the board meeting to rally with other students, are "angry, frustrated and disbelieving," said Paul Galbraith, president of the students union. ... The tent town on campus grew to about 65 rainbow-hued tents by late Thursday afternoon, including a subdivision dubbed Poverty Lane. Ricardo Hoar, 19, a second-year computer science student, borrowed a friend's tent to join the protest. A guitar, pillows, books, sleeping bags and carton of strawberries were piled in his temporary abode. His parents told him not to get arrested. Two students union executives bunked in a hut of recycled plywood, its roof shingled with Ichiban noodle soup boxes. On the door, it says: This is not a home - yet.
