Melbourne Uni signals intention to evict ‘outside agitators’ in protest occupation

quote:

Wesley [the vice chancellor] said the protester demands would not be met.

“The university’s animating principle is that of academic freedom,” he said.

“If we start restricting the ability of our academics and students to work on certain topics and with certain companies because another part of our community objects to that, where does this end?

“Tomorrow it will be working with fossil fuel companies, then it will be working with supermarkets, then it will be working with the manufacturers of sugary drinks.

"If we can be stopped from working with israel ALL our dealings with evil companies might be threatened" succinctly explains why the police are coming in now

this isn’t surprising to me; israel is fighting this war with American-made bombs and missiles, not just Elbit-made. RTX (Raytheon parent) is up 30% in the past 6m.

Israel having more suppliers than just Elbit doesn't explain their share price going down, they are still a major supplier with a lot of international business too. That RTX boom is really pronounced though, just straight up from October 7 lol.

quote:

Elbit, the maker of the Iron Sting, provides up to 85 percent of the land-based equipment procured by the Israeli military and about 85 percent of its drones, according to Database of Israeli Military and Security Export (DIMSE).

Elbit still makes 80% of its sales outside its home market

Chief Executive Bezhalel Machlis told Reuters ... that sales to Israel were about $1.2 billion a year but that should rise now the government has approved a budget that will boost defence spending by 20 billion shekels ($5.5 billion) a year.

Elbit, he said, expects revenue to rise by at least $500 million a year from Israel, adding that "there is a growing demand for our technology all around the world". He projected revenue of $6.5 billion to $7 billion between 2024 and 2026.
Supply chain issues remain a challenge, but Elbit is using its 42 global subsidiaries to circumvent problems, Machlis added.

Dutch police begin breaking up student sit-in at the University of Amsterdam

The Euro-Palestinian Media Center broadcast live scenes to begin the breakup of the Gaza solidarity student sit-in at the University of Amsterdam.

Scenes show the students forming a human barrier to the police raising pictures of martyred children, as police try to enter the campus to disperse students demanding an end to the Israeli war on Gaza.

the violent american repsonse made the violent police response here instantaneous basically, which is interesting.
Both the protetesters and the universities and the cops acted as if the escalation in the US was part of the escalation process here.

This is also good because the protesters are starting out at the level of organisation that the BLM protests here ended at pretty much

I bet you can see this dynamic repeated in lots of places globally

it just shows you should never ever bow to even the slightest pressure from the right. here they tried to make "from the river to the sea" illegal. but when people were chanting "whose streets? our streets!" those same people who wanted that ban were claiming people were chanting "auschwitz! auschwitz!".

the right dont live in reality so never give them any ground for decorum or any other reason, theyll never be pleased anyway.
