The statement praises the "historic role" of American students who organized protests and strikes to condemn the situation in Gaza and urge a ceasefire. It highlights the students' courage in "confronting the true face of American values" and standing against "injustice and tyranny."
The Union's message also includes several demands:
Solidarity with Detained Students: They call for the immediate release of any students or faculty arrested during the protests and hold those responsible accountable.
Global Student Movement: The Union urges students worldwide to join a broader international movement condemning actions by the israeli government in Gaza.
Boycott of Pro-Israel Companies: The statement calls on Turkish universities to review contracts with companies that support israel as part of a global boycott campaign. (ILKHA)
