Working in a University abroad makes me head tilt a little bit when this stuff is seemingly imported from the US to UK universities. It’s rife in America and social media has international influence, but I don’t hear about these endless protests related to the situation in Gaza anywhere else.
Students have always loved a good protest but I do find it extremely silly to protest at a university about this issue, they should be outside parliament and even then our government has denounced the actions of Israel plenty of times already. Do they honestly think Israel give two shits about their protests in a far away country?

So ask them to remove their masks. Problem solved.

>the university does not wish to stop all protests and suggested a “myriad” of other options, such as a march or online and writing campaigns.
This is more about the „inconvenience“ of setting up encampments on College grounds, including to students taking exams.
The University or Colleges do not otherwise oppose pro-Palestinian protests.

The disproportionate obsession over this one issue continues to confound.
