A-Infos (en) France, UCL press release, Support for the student and high school movement in support of Gaza! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

For several days several university establishments, later joined by 
several high schools, have been moving in solidarity with Gaza. It 
started with Sciences Po Paris and the management's bans on the 
establishment of a debate. Then with the Sorbonne which was busy this 
Tuesday May 7. Furthermore, the multiple bans placed on Rima Hassan 
despite court decisions in her favor have ignited the situation, with 
Palestinian students and activists denouncing censorship and an 
authoritarian drift.
The student movement first began in American universities and then 
spread throughout the world. The students denounce, among other things, 
the media treatment of the ongoing genocide, the cooperation of their 
faculties with Israeli universities and the deliveries of weapons to the 
Zionist state, guilty of apartheid and genocide, which has very recently 
decided to attack Rafah and evacuate the population. Of course, the main 
issue is the ceasefire.

The government and media response to the student protest has ignited the 
situation; a whole part of the population can no longer tolerate the 
harmful climate on the Palestinian question and the repressive drift. 
The suspension of comedian Guillaume Meurice by the management of France 
Inter also increased tension and Radio France employees announced a 
strike for May 12 in defense of freedom of expression, against the 
repression of management and also on salary demands.

Here is a month of May which promises to be under the auspices of the 
contestation of State authoritarianism and in a social climate itself 
explosive: Let us recall inflation, let us recall what the government is 
preparing for unemployment insurance, let us recall that regarding the 
educational question the establishments of Seine Saint Denis have 
themselves been in motion since the end of March, let us remember that 
the anger at the theft of two years of life with the pension reform has 
never subsided! Neither does the anger following the death of Nahel as 
well as the repression of the Sainte Soline activists! These young 
people on the move are the same ones who stood up against sexual and 
gender-based violence, against police crimes, for climate justice and 
last year also to defend our pensions. We have many reasons to be 
exasperated given the social, warlike and climatic disaster future that 
awaits us, and it is to our honor, the honor of our class, to stand up 
today against impunity for the Palestinian genocide!

So let's give them a May 24 that they will remember, let's put 
international and anti-colonial solidarity at the forefront, call for 
the convergence of struggles against state authoritarianism!

Remember that union activists themselves are worried and even condemned 
for their support for Palestine, such as the CGT activist from the North 
Jean-Paul Delescaut sentenced to a one-year suspended prison sentence.

We call on the entire social movement to stand in solidarity with 
students and high school students in their struggles!
We call on the unions to join the fight and call for all strikes like 
the one taking place at Radio France to be extended.
We already condemn the repression of the movement by the police.
Stop authoritarianism and political repression of Palestinian activists!
Stop sending weapons to the genocidal government of Israel!
Stop apartheid and colonization! Permanent and unconditional cease fire!
Palestine will live Palestine Will conquer!
