Support Delft Student Movement for Palestine

Support Delft Student Movement for Palestine

We, the students and staff of the Delft Student Intifada - movement at the Technical University of Delft, stand in solidarity with Palestine. We are a part of the global movement that emerged on student campuses all over the world. We demand an end to the university’s direct involvement and complicity with the ongoing Israeli occupation, apartheid, and genocide of the Palestinian people. To continue our protest, we kindly ask you to consider a donation that would help us cover the costs of materials, food for participants, and other necessary spendings. Your donations will be redistributed to the members of the movement who, for now, cover the costs themselves.

Over the past months, we have been protesting TU Delft’s ties with Israeli institutions by organising walkouts, petitions, informative talks and lectures as well as negotiations with the university's Executive Board, but have been consistently ignored or received empty responses. The board has reiterated its decision to continue the collaboration with Israeli universities, despite being fully aware of their complicity. TU Delft aims to be carbon neutral, and contribute to the quality of life and biodiversity, yet it cooperates with companies that actively destroy lives and ecosystems through warfare. TU Delft's mission is to make an "impact for a better society", yet the only impact it will be remembered for is the destruction of Palestinian land and the death of tens of thousands of Palestinians.

TU Delft's complicity:

TU Delft plays an active role in the ongoing genocide, and we want to address these critical points:

• TU Delft actively cooperates with Israeli arms companies, like Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), in the development of weapons that are being used on Palestinians in Gaza right now. TU Delft is among the top five partners of Israeli Aerospace Industries, with nine different collaboration projects. IAI is a significant contributor to the Israeli army, supplying drones, aircrafts and missiles to name a few, and is also responsible for the Iron Dome of the settler-colonial state.

• TU Delft, through its longstanding agreement with Lockheed Martin, the largest arms producer, helps develop and produce the fighter jet F35 which the Israeli Defence Force uses to brutally kill Palestinians.

• TU Delft collaborates with multiple Israeli universities, all actively participating in the violation of Palestinian rights and serving as pillars of Israel’s colonization, genocide, and apartheid.

Palestine will be free.

Thank you for your support!
