Protest against Agrexco's share holders Apax Partners in London

23-02-2009 17:01

Apax employees arrive to find the door D-locked
A small protest was held this morning at the London headquarters of Apax Partners, a UK-based private equity giant that holds a majority stake in Israeli agricultural co-op Tnuva, which owns 25 percent of Agrexco Agricultural Export Company, Israel's largest exporter of agricultural produce, which is guilty of trading in fruits, vegetables and flowers grown on illegal Israeli settlements built on stolen Palestinian land in the Occupied Territories (see the Carmel-Agrexco topic page  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/actions/2008/carmelagrexco/).

Earlier in the morning, an anonymous protester had separately D-locked the building's main door, causing some disruption to the baffled employees arriving to work. Armed with a banner and leaflets accusing Apax Partners of profiting from the illegal settlements, they called upon the company to divest from Tnuva or be complicit to crimes under the International Criminal Court Act 2001.

Police arrived about an hour later and imposed Section 14 of the Public Order Act! But protesters didn't leave until they'd run out of leaflets and energy.

University anti-Zionist twinning with Palestine

21-02-2009 15:55

Last week, at a relatively well-attended meeting, my branch Executive seconded a motion to support a twinning with a Palestinian university, building on existing Student Union work. A few of us decided to propose an additional note about “the increase in antisemitic atmosphere on British campuses associated with Israel’s conflicts”. We are all broadly supportive of the twinning but conscious that in our institution it has been a vehicle for intensifying calls for the ostracisation and dissolution of Israel. Our intervention was fairly puny and didn’t say what needed to be said about this twinning - in retrospect since it was almost certain to fall we should have made more amendments.

A Campus Sit-in against Israeli Occupation: An Interview with Three Participants

19-02-2009 14:35

On Friday, February 6, the University of Rochester-SDS (UR-SDS) organized an occupation of Goergen Hall at the University of Rochester for peace and solidarity with the Palestinians. The action was partially inspired by the wave of occupations across the UK in support of Palestine the past few weeks. UR-SDS made a list of demands of the administration (including divestment from weapons manufacturers, educational and humanitarian aid to Gaza, and scholarships for Palestinian students). In a related event, on Thursday, February 12, 2008 Hampshire College of Amherst, MA. became the first US school to divest from corporations profiting from the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
