Warum das Trinity College den Pro-Palästina-Protesten nachgab
Als erste Hochschule hatte das irische Trinity College vergangene Woche gegenüber den pro-palästinensischen Protesten eingelenkt. Das dürfte neben der politischen Stimmung im Land auch finanzielle Gründe gehabt haben. Von Gabi Biesinger.
Trinity College, Cambridge UK, has approximately 60k invested in Elbit, the company that makes parts for Israeli weapons that are currently slaughtering tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians.
We paid the college a visit today whilst they had an open day for new students to spread the word of their complicity in genocide. #TrinityCollege - We shall be back! #Divest#DBS#ShutDownElbit
I took this photo when I visited Trinity College in Dublin, earlier this year. That is the William Edward Hartpole Lecky Monument in the foreground. Lecky was an Irish historian of rationalism and European morals. The cast-bronze statue was erected in 1906. The Campanile behind it was built 1852-1854 and designed by the famous Belfast architect Sir Charles Lanyon. I really liked Trinity College when I was there.
