According to London Student Action for Palestine there is currently 36 active university encampments across Britain. They are at campuses of all sizes. From Oxford to Birmingham. Participating in encampments and other activism for Palestine, can be a way for students to make the unbearable bearable. <\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>With a Palestinian Keffiyeh scarf around his neck, and a blue mask on his face, Foxglove has a determined look in his eyes. The signs of protest cover the tents and free spaces around him. A banner saying &#8220;From Abya Yala to Palestine: United against colonialism,&#8221; Irish flags and Palestinian flags are hung on the tents. Foxglove has been part of the encampment since day one. He has previously been part of other activism for Palestine but has found the community in the encampment different than any other he\u2019s been part of. His name in the camp is Foxglove and he uses this to ensure safety for himself and the camp.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"humamvideo\" style=\"position:relative;overflow:hidden;width:100%;padding-top: 56.25%;margin:20px 0px;\"><iframe style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/stream.hu.nl\/players\/Sxt4G4Mg-Kv4Phafj.html\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<p><strong>Activism for Palestine Stands Out<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>According to both Nico, Hazem, Foxglove and Ismail, the activism for Palestine stand out from other activism.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\r\n<p>\u201cThe community around Palestine solidarity is different from any other kind of community around the world,\u201d<\/p>\r\n<cite>says Nico, an alumnus participating in the SOAS Liberated zone for Gaza.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Ismail Patel explains why he thinks it\u2019s different:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cThe issue of Palestine is unique as it extends beyond its geographical boundaries. The crisis in Palestine and Gaza has global implications due to several reasons.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>First, there are violations of international law, and the Israeli breaches have a worldwide effect. For instance, in supporting Israel&#8217;s occupation and colonisation, the British government runs the risk of violating international law and supporting the oppressor.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Second, Israel is the last remaining direct settler colonial state, which has garnered support from anti-colonialist advocates.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Third, Israel has been categorised by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch as practising apartheid policies against Palestinians, fuelling the anti-racist global movement.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>So, the Palestinian issue is about human rights, it\u2019s about justice, it\u2019s about equality, it\u2019s about being decolonial, and respect for international law. These factors have a resonance around the world transcending beyond the Palestinian people and making a global impact.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Hazem Jamjoum describe this same concept of great amounts of internationalism in the genocide on Gaza, but adds another descriptive word to it:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cOne thing that marks Palestine activism is a high level of intersectionality. It\u2019s increasingly becoming a hallmark of all struggles, especially in the last eight months.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>People are finally recognizing that many of our social, political, and economic struggles are connected. From gender and sexuality to Sudan or Haiti or class or ableism.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Both people who get politicized and radicalized around issues see the very direct interconnections between oppressive structures and also see the strategic importance of building alliances and working across movements. And building it as a kind of more coherent movement for human liberation.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>As all of these issues intersect in this conflict, all kinds of different people find themselves involved in this movement for freedom for all:<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cRight now, we&#8217;re seeing people from all walks of society getting involved. The nature of Israel&#8217;s genocide of Palestinians in the last eight months has really sensitized. And so, whether you are sensitive to things concerning childhood, motherhood, healthcare workers, journalists or freedom of expression, or the kind of really profound horror of what the Israeli military&#8217;s been perpetrating against Palestinians in Gaza is the kind of thing that I think people also just connect with on a fundamentally human level. Or at least they should. So, from children to elderly, as well as people from different political beliefs, everyone gets involved,\u201d says Hazem.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>People are trying to find ways to cope with this horror and simply inhumane behaviour of Israel. And as people engage in political action, they might find an unexpected place of community and strong connection such as it is the case in the SOAS Liberated Zone for Gaza.<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\r\n\r\n<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>The Students<\/strong><br \/>On May 18<sup>th<\/sup>, 2024 more than 250 thousand people gathered on the streets of London to commemorate the 76<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the Nakba.

They have been actively involved in significant movements, such as those regarding South Africa, Vietnam, and now Palestine. It is a hope that students will be as effective in their current advocacy as they have been in the past,\u201d says Ismail Patel, Founder and Chairman of the UK based NGO Friends of Al-Aqsa (FOA). He continues:<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cHistorically, they have played a pivotal role in trying to ensure democratic rights, international law and that justice is upheld.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Hazem Jamjoum is a doctoral candidate in modern history of the Middle East. He has taught, edited, and translated in the fields of international relations and human rights and been active in the solidarity movement for Palestine for 25 years. Hazem is a child of Palestinian parents and describes himself as a Palestinian refugee. The communities he has seen in activism for Palestine Hazem describes as \u201csome of the most profound kinds of community because it&#8217;s based on trust, empathy, sensitivity, care, responsibility and decentring your ego.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Community in the Encampment<\/strong><br \/>The SOAS liberated zone for Gaza consists of thirty tents. Every day the tents house thirty to forty people. The campers are mainly students, but some alumni and people in the surrounding community have also found a place for community here:<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"humamvideo\" style=\"position:relative;overflow:hidden;width:100%;padding-top: 56.25%;margin:20px 0px;\"><iframe style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/stream.hu.nl\/players\/4p4XwERC-Kv4Phafj.html\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>When Foxglove sees himself needing to cross the line from the encampment and out into the surrounding society, he feels as though he is \u201cstepping through a portal\u201d. Because when you are in a sort of bubble as an encampment might feel like, or just in a bubble of learning about how basic human rights are being taken away from the people in Gaza, it can be intense, but it might also be the place you find strong social bonds.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cBetween the kind of requirements for trust building and the nature of the kind of traumatic experiences that you&#8217;re dealing with. As well as the massive responsibility to navigate not speaking for people but conveying their voices, and the kind of sensitivity and empathy required to not make this about yourself. That creates a very high-level threshold for what kind of social bonds you create with the people you do this work with,\u201d is how Hazem describes it.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>What Drives the People<\/strong><br \/>\u201cAnger, indignation, guilt, rumination, victim compensation, and perpetrator punishment are considered primary responses associated with justice sensitivity,\u201d according to journal article &#8216;Responses Toward Injustice Shaped by Justice Sensitivity &#8211; Evidence From Germany.&#8217;<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>According to Foxglove, many feelings are involved for everyone in the encampment as well:<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"humamvideo\" style=\"position:relative;overflow:hidden;width:100%;padding-top: 56.25%;margin:20px 0px;\"><iframe style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;bottom:0;right:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/stream.hu.nl\/players\/8neXil8o-Kv4Phafj.html\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cI think, when you are in a position where you have the thought \u2018that could have been me\u2019 which fundamentally should be a thought that any human being feels just on a human level,\u201d Hazem Jamjoum<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Everyone is looking for their community, and it seems that more and more young people and students are finding it in activism. According to research and public relations company Edelman 70% of young people are involved in social or political causes, including here among the students. They are not only involved\u00a0to find out about the causes, but also to find out what&#8217;s really going on. To find out which actions are happening on the streets and around London, and the rest of the world, you have to follow the Palestine movement on social media, and more specifically you have got to follow Instagram accounts such as Friends of Al-Aqsa and Hazem. To know what is happening inside the camp you have to be part of the Signal group chat. So, the students and the young people have access to something the students of the anti-Vietnam-War movement could have never imagined. The word for justice is spreading just as fast, if not faster than the news.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Does it work?<\/strong><br \/>We have yet to see if this student movement will succeed in their cause. One small victory within the encampments\u2019 demands of the university at SOAS has however come through:<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cSOAS has addressed a single demand out of our seven demands, which is to expand scholarships for Palestinian people. They have expanded them slightly,\u201d tells Nico from the SOAS Liberated Zone for Palestine.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Foxglove explains further on what success would look like to the SOAS Liberated Zone and the campers in it:<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>\u201cThe core of this community is the seven demands we have to the university. And the success of the camp is getting all of our demands met. However, the success of everyone here feeling part of this community has almost outstripped the success of having our demands met.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/svjmedia.nl\/internationaljournalism\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/378\/2024\/06\/Skaermbillede-2024-06-05-kl.-13.39.48.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Map of the Nakba protest route.
