The debate about protestors calling for their universities to cut ties with Israel.
Encampments of students protesting about Israel鈥檚 military action in Gaza have been popping up on campuses across the UK. They鈥檙e calling for their institutions to divest from - sell their stakes in - companies linked to the conflict or Israel, but others say they鈥檙e demonising the country and stoking antisemitism. How did the movement start and how have universities been responding? What鈥檚 the history of political activism around university investments? And what does the law say about pitching tents on university land?
