Let me preface this post by saying that I am not supportive of Israel's actions, yes they had every right to defend themselves but law states "by proportional means" I think the story of the pro-Israel doctor in Gaza (clearly no hamas in his house) who lost two daughters demonstrates that Israel made serious mistakes. (Hamas also was not justified in civilian killing). So this post is not meant to demean any efforts for peace.
And with that disclaimer out of the way!
For the past week Palestinian students and supporters of them "occupied" one of the buildings on campus. As far as I can tell it was all very peaceful and some demands made sense (waiving application fees, diversifying the school) but really it was almost like LSE was a country ...like our director could actually do something. It was kind of funny getting email updates about "negotiations" I felt like it was CNN updates.
Good for them for pushing for change...kind of odd to occupy a building
