Retranscription des échanges associés à la vidéo :
Student: This subject was brought up because of Palestine. Shame on you.
Student: J’accuse. Sciences Po’s one sided policies, Sciences Po’s moral selectivity. We accuse this institution of complicity, for its silence and selective moral outrage, and especially for its sustained partnership with Israeli academic institutions and partnerships that openly support death.
Luis Vassy: You spoke about …
Student: You are supporting a genocide!
Luis Vassy: You spoke about cowardice
Student: Cowardice is university staff creating
Luis Vassy: I will talk to you …
Student: fake accounts to follow students online!
Luis Vassy: Look now, I will talk to you about my aunt…
Student: Larry, do you denounce the repression
Jeremy Perelman: …you’ve expressed yourself
Student: of students, protest in the US, and do you denounce the genocide of Palestinians?
Jeremy Perelman: Alright, we’ve heard you…
Student: Or are you attempting to usher in a similar wave of repression in the UK?
Student: Provost Martinez and Stanford claim to cultivate future leaders who embody integrity, courage and global responsability. What kind of leaders does it seek to foster if it consistently silences advocating for justice, accountability, and human dignity?
Student: Rector Daniel Joutras, and the administration of the University of Montreal, in light of your silence regarding our demands, allow us to reiterate. We demand that you, the rector of the University of Montreal, publicly express solidarity with the Palestinian people
Daniel Jutras: That, I will not do.
Student: and condemn the Zionist entity for its genocide in Gaza.
Student: The Central European University has been using the mask of « academic neutrality, » while suppressing students’ dissent against its complicity in the genocide in Palestine. We refuse to engage in respectability politics and to abide by the university’s aim to silence and criminalize anti-Zionist voices.
Student: The Hertie School has contributed to the misuse of knowledge for inhumane military purposes and the violation of human rights. We demand the Hertie School realize it has a legal and moral obligation to end its partnership with the Hebrew University now. The complicity must end now.
(Israeli drone noise played on speakers: the sound that Palestinians in Gaza must endure 24/7)
Jeremy Perelman: Can you please stop the sound?
Students: Free free Palestine! Free free Palestine! Free free Palestine! Free free Palestine! Stop the genocide! Stop the genocide! Stop the genocide!
