NO ARRESTS IN EXETER
35 sign-holders with “I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action” signs were not arrested today in Exeter.
Instead, Devon & Cornwall Police decided to remove the signs from protestors and make a megaphone statement, before simply leaving the scene.

In Exeter, a crowd has gathered with many writing the words “I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action” on pieces of paper and boards.
They are taking action today outside Central Station, with many curious onlookers.

A couple of days ago, I came across someone on LinkedIn who had created a list of UK universities offering scholarships to Palestinian students. If anyone knows who this was or has a link to the list, please let me know. There are a few people I know it could be of use to ❤️

Sickening. I won’t lie, I have been deeply concerned about the wellbeing of the non-white participates of the flotilla in particular, but I thought she, as both a white and recognisable figure, wouldn’t be subjected to Israeli brutality. I’m holding hope for the safety of all of the activists.
““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+
